    You're welcome - I'm just kicking myself for buying two 256Mb USB keys from Amazon for the same price, before I saw this offer.

    Amazon have a good returns process if you are still within this it might be worth requesting a return?

    Soooooo.... Two questions. :)

    Q1.
    Am I right in saying I should also have no real concerns about buying the Refurbished Sandisk Compactflash MyMemory are selling?

    Q2.
    On the Duty VAT ssue, As I need two, do I really need to concern myself with the £18 limit? ..... ie can I happily order two at the same time?

    Anyone any experiences or had to pay Duty/VAT on goods from Jersey?

    Ta

    Places like 7dayshop(CI), dvdboxoffice(Canada), MyMemory(CI) all burst orders into <£17. Obviously if an item is > this limit VAT is payable. I got a lot of items from 7day all under £17 all arrived in seperate parcels. MyMeory has a good customer service, mail them your questions and ask what refrum means for their memory sticks. Remember you can return items within 7day under the distance selling regulations. MyMemory and 7day also have a resonalbe approach to returns check their sites.

    I've already used them for backup so wouldn't feel comfortable trying to return them.

    How does this compare to the new pen drive Amazon are selling for £19.99 including P&P and VAT ?
