Postage - Faultless product as is the norm from Sandisk, there seems to be an issue with postage costs though there is a simple solution to this if you are a regular Amazon shopper: sign up to Prime, cost is recouped in in no time at all.
fast but unstable - Extreme three cerainly is fast at downloading multiple shots, which is useful if you are a sports photographer or similar. But they are the most unstable cards I have used. If you keep the images for any length of time and don t download to your computer you will find that many of the shots will be lossed. For instance if you are on holiday for 3 weeks or more you will find that about 20% of your photos have dropped off the card. The percentage will increase the longer the time. Sandisk must be aware of the problem, that is why they give free retrieval software with each and every card. I can t be the only person that has had this problem. Own up - Extreme three wears no clothes.
postage - To get charged seperate postage for 2 cf cards is really shocking especially when it only cost £2.17p to post to me,i will think twice about shopping here now.
Beware of the postage - These are great products and it seems as if they are offered here at the best price available anywhere. But beware! Postage is charged at £4.50 PER ITEM, ten times what it must cost the supplier, making them far more expensive than most other online stores. I wanted to buy 10 but will look elsewhere.
Reliable product - It does what it says on the label and is fast.BUT why £4-50 postage for something which weighs less than 100 grams and can be posted by 1st class mail?Amazon should be selling these alongside the cameras it loves to sell for zero postage, not leaving customers to buy from an independent with extra postage charges.
