PLEASE NOTE I don't know anything about the company. I've never heard of them so obviously I can't personally vouch for them. I've read several reviews from customers who appear to have used the company and have had good service.
I'm just passing the message on in case it's of use to others so please don't hold me responsible if there are any problems.
I've just placed an order myself for two, so we'll see how it goes.

I'd be wary of them personally Justin; given that Picstop UK, usually one of the most competetively priced dealers, are selling the same at £64.99, and series III at £38-99 I feel there's a strong chance that these one's may be fakes.

Strange that they are selling the 4Gb cards at twice the price
If they are fakes, what would the difference be? I've never had either cheap (possibly fake) or expensive memory fail on me.
Thanks Nigel.
I usually use Picstop myself.
I've already ordered a couple so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
They do state they have a 7 day return policy and I've paid by credit card which I think might offer some protection, we'll see. If the worst comes to the worst it's not a fortune lost.
I'll report back with how it goes. I'll probably give Sandisk a ring with the serial numbers when they arrive to check they are genuine. I wouldn't want to risk a fake, that's an awful lot of hard-earned images to risk losing should the card become corrupted.
Thanks for the warning though.

Justin,
Certainly looks like an error on their part but at that price it is worth taking a chance, so thanks for spotting it. I have also ordered two paying by credit card so we'll see what happens. Cliff

Thought it was too good to be true - my order has been cancelled as they claim they are out of stock with no due date due to short supply in the market. Methinks they realised their mistake and used this as an excuse. Still, nothing ventured..................... Cliff
Hi Cliff,
Just had the same e-mail. Thought it was too good to be true
Worth taking the chance though at that price.
I think they must have just priced it wrong as they sound like a reputable company by all accounts.
