At the end of last month there was a thread about these 4 GB Extreme cards from Picstop for about £18 each. Eventually I ordered two as did a few others, at least according to their posts. They have not yet arrived. I have just rung Picstop and they looked up the order. After some discussion in the back ground, which I could not understand, I was told.

"The supplier could not deliver them all on time and they have only just arrived. Your two have been posted today and should arrive in a couple of days"

What a coincidence Am being too cynical in thinking that I would have got the same answer if I had rung on Friday not today. Did anyone get theirs on time ??

My order was two weeks old on Saturday 9th. Today I have also received an e-mail notifying me of their dispatch. I have not contacted them - but was thinking of it.

Either they really did just get them in, or I owe you a vote of thanks AQ

Mine haven't arrived & I'm on worng PC to check mail..... hopefully will have dispatch note when I look tomorrow

[Steve400]

mines just dispatched today! on the webpage when i ordered them one page said they were out of stock and another page said they were in stock.

I never had any bother with picstop, got all my memory cards there!

Yes you are being too cynical.

I have bought several memory cards from them with no trouble at all. And when in stock they have always been delivered next day.

My Sandisk Extreme III 4GB card dropped through the letter box this morning .... absolute bargain !!!!

Also comes with a "rescue" application on mini CD

I hope that mine are there when I get home tonight. The apparently fake Sandisk CF card I got from HK last month also came with that rescue disk, a nice pouch and good packing. !!!!!

The "small print". Just to make it 100% clear I am in no way suggesting that these cards are anything other than perfectly genuine from what I have found out Picstop are reliable suppliers.

I should also have said that since I think the CF card from HK is a fake I did not install the software !!!!

For those who missed out on the £17.99 offer, mymemory are doing them for £25, or 2GB for £13.

My two arrived today

So Anth,

Am I right in saying that other than the concerns over what you have read, you have no other reason to believe your Extreme card HK is a fake? Are you just cynical because the price was low or what?

Cheers,
Rob

Based on the info from here
eBay.co.uk Guides - FAKE SanDisk Extreme Compact Flash Cards Exposed
and other similar sites it is 100% fake. It works OK (so far) and the capacity is right although I am not sure about the actual speed. Now my two have arrived from Picstop I could try some comparisons when I have a bit more time. Let me state clearly that based on the above link the Picstop cards are absolutely genuine.

Anthraquinone, why don't you pursue getting a refund. I did. There is a Sandisk fake hotline you can ring and you can report to eBay too. Contact the sellar and get your refund first!
