Beware if ordering from Amazon third parties - the £4.50 delivery charge appears to be per item, so if you want to order (like I did) 2 cards at £6 each, they hit you with a postage charge of £9!!!!!

Needless to say, I didn't buy!!

Of the £4.50 delivery charge paid for marketplace sales a proportion is retained by Amazon as their fee for the sale. Amount depends on the category. Listing is free, Amazon take their cut from the back-end of the sale. That's how it works.

It's also the reason why you see items on Amazon for 1 pence.

I listed my first item on Amazon a couple of weeks ago (a Casio camera case). Of the £4.50 delivery charge Amazon kept £2.01 for the fee & 30p vat. From the remainder I paid the postage & packaging to the buyer. If it's something heavy you could lose money on postage.

It's actually Amazon themselves that dictate the delivery charge for marketplace sales not the individual sellers.

thanks again

The chances of it being fake are very high indeed!

Good point, always try to buy from a reputable seller. For anyone not aware, when your talking fake memory cards its not just a cheap bad quality cards falsely badged as a high quality one but many of them aren't even the capacity they state eg you buy a 2Gb card and find when you get it its only 256Mb or less. Ebay is apparently quite bad for this, particularly with the high capacity cards.

Heres a couple of links:

The cheapest store I have found is 7dayshop.com, currently doing 1Gb SD cards for £4.49 + delivery. This is a flat rate of £3.95. Also the cheapest I can find for original ink cartridges too, but I wouldn't touch the compatibles.

They are based in the Channel Islands and their service is generally pretty good.

I use a company called Memory Card Zoo - https://www.memorycardzoo.co.uk

They're cheap, their products include postage and their site really makes me chuckle, plus they're helpful at answering queries. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Just my view and my first post, yay! :j

Just wanted to express my appreciation for this tip. Ordered a 2gb sd card on Friday for £11.05 (Kingston) and it arrived in the post Saturday. Can't say fairer than that plus the website is very informative about what you're getting for the money. (Same item at Jessops in town £24)
