best buy for a uk storage card?
hi

all the best deals seem to be in the states, the look way cheaper

as a newbie, is it better buying from the states with tax/import implications or buy in the uk, and if so from where?

ty

I've got mine from www.ebuyer.com
(just avoid the very cheap microdrive... or seach on the word Magicstor if you feel tempted)

I use Dabs - a couple of quid more but I found them more reliable than EBuyer - who have a very bad rep for returns and have a nasty habit of cancelling orders without telling you.

As for purchasing from the states; some companies in the US don't ship outside the US and generally the best deals are because of Mail In Rebates (MIR)but if you want to order alot of stuff from the states their is a service called "MY US" or something similar that lets you have a US postal address and forwards stuff onto you - You will get hit for tax at this end; though it seems to be a bit hit and miss; I've had to pay on some things and not others. Savings can be made but add in the cost of postage and it is sometimes little different to a UK supplier.

If your going for a storage card Kingston and Lexar are ones I've always found reliable both in SD and CF - if you're thinking of a Microdrive I have a spare 2GB Hitachi (retail not one extracted from an MP3 player) if you're interested.

Al,
I'm looking for a high capacity card to go with my new Axim and might be interested in your 2GB microdrive (depending on the cost), if the original poster didn't want it of course.
