Buying Memory cards at Amazon.com: Does this sound right?

The reson they sell the card at a low price and jack up the shipping costs is that amazon gets a cut of the selling price but nothing of shipping.A bulk card might be better because the new retail card comes with less plastic,the less plastic means no little case for the SD card.You will notice that some people are selling cards that come with a case that is because those are little bit older.I do not know if the bulk cards come with a case but that is (was) the only reason to buy one in a retail pack.As for warranty you would only need one retail sard to find out where to send the old card too and at these prices is anyone really going to go though the hassel of sending one to a manufacturer,you problably have to give them $5 for dhipping and handeling when you could buy a new card for $7.50.The images on your card are lost if it needs to be replaced they just give you a card not restore the old one.

I'm about to buy this and need that question answered too. If I get it before someone knowledgeable replies, I'll advise what I learn. Considering how awful my buying experience was here at Amazon using a Metabank gift card, I'm hesitant. But, I need to use up the gift card funds, so, here goes a second try. Think I'll email the vendor first, just in case.

You need to watch out for suspicious sellers, right now they ahip from Amazon.com directly I assume they are a Canon reseller so yeah, I think. :P

I purchased Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS16GSDHC10E) for $11.99 (Prime).

If you bought the items from "Amazon", then you got ripped off. You actually bought from third party sellers that are simply selling the product at a jacked up price but have no actual inventory of the card. Once the normal etailers have stock, they will buy the card from them and then turn around and ship to you. total scam.

If it says sold by Amazon, and says new you should be okay. Sometimes these things are on special. Right now, that doesn't seem to be the case (I just checked the price).

I trust Amazon. Whatever you do, please don't deal with Broadway photo. THEY were going to sell me a grey market camera and not tell me. Please do be wary, but Amazon.com would surely be a safe bet.

I agree with DeAngelo. Both Amazon and agents are scamming the public with changes to the orders. The posted website information says one thing, and the shipping information says another. In my case, the SanDisk III 30 MBs card was shown, however, the older card is being shown on the shipping statement. I will return the card if it does not match the original order of 30 MBs. I would expect Amazon to correct this immediately, so not to tarnish their image.

I received my 1005pr today and after reading all these reviews, obviously the first thing I checked was to see if that dang HD card was there. Well, it wasn't. I just called Amazon customer service and she was SUPER nice and understanding. I pointed her to this page and she looked at all the comments of people having this problem. Anyway, she said that she is going to direct Amazon to investigate the problem and they will contact all of their warehouses and make sure that it gets figured out. She said she'll then call me and get a proper unit sent out.Props to Amazon, they seem to be taking this seriously and hopefully it will be all sorted out soon! But Asus better get their act together... I received my 1005pr today and after reading all these reviews, obviously the first thing I checked was to see if that dang HD card was there.

I learned some time ago that if I bring in my printout to a local shop, as long as Amazon is an authorized dealer in say Canon or the brand I"m buying, they will beat the price if they haven't already. The local shop has been around for years, handles the areas "big box" warranties and offers a way better deal than here on Amazon. Amazon has lost a good amount of money from me because of things like this thread not to mention it takes quite some time to ship big ticket items to me when the local place is 10 mins. away and has it in stock. The only thing I still order from Amazon is books. Good luck to all that are waiting, I"m going to the store in the am for mine.

No. It is bogus that Amazon suggests that you buy a card when you buy the unit.

I have purchased a number of cameras, including DSLRs and point and shoots and I do not recall ever getting a memory card with them. So yes, I would say that is normal, in my experience.

I believe Amazon is not a participant in that promo. Check amd's official site for participating vendors. At this point, you'd be best off with a 290x anyway. Get one from newegg for 300 and you get the games too.

You really need to read everything before you buy. It clearly indicates that it doesn't come with a memory card, and only a small amount of built in memory.Worn edges on boxes is completely normal, especially when shipped via UPS (despite packing materials and an outside box. Amazon did you no wrong here, you just need to keep yourself informed, and read everything before you plop down $250!

No it's not, I purchased the memory card through Amazon as recommended at the bottom of the listing.

Dude, it's too expensive to order smaller quantities of 2 & 4 gig cards then have separate storage and more labor keeping them separate and pulling them correctly for the right order. mine came with a four gig so its just a way of offering you the option of paying $5 more if you'd like to. doesn't the other one you're talking about come with some sort of reusable condom in case you take your personal body camera to a golden showers party so it won't get wet?
