Bookmarked it, seems to be some cool stuff on there, was thinking of getting one of those magnetic phone holders anyway at £5 off of the 'bay' now i can get one for £1.56 lol. probably wouldn't buy anything electrical but micro fibres 'n' stuff like that .... why not.
Good find.

Thanks for that. I've just ordered a few items (low cost and not critical) and will wait and see!

There are a lot of reviews about this company , not all good ,
Main things are no goods turning up and no refunds.

It looks like their average delivery is 45 days.

They state in their refunds that they will do 1, refund with no need to return item ...2 , issue a returns note or 3, give you the details of supplying company for you to chase.

Not for me , but you never know until you try

Well I've just taken a chance. Paid via Paypal so some additional cover. 1024gb branded micro-SD for a tenner. Might be fake junk but fingers crossed it's OK.

With global sales and the power of social media, it only takes a fraction of 1% of customers to have a bad experience for the perception to be overly negative (or am I wearing those rose tinted glasses again?)

There's no way it'll be 1024GB, probably something like 4-8 GB with fake branding on.

Here's a video about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-D6tYBX8vE

Basically, they claim to be made by a reputable company, and claim to have large amounts of space, and sometimes when you plug them into your pc they'll even say they have 1TB of storage, but they don't.

I wouldn't use it for anything like a dashcam or for important or large files, because it may potentially keep overwriting itself and you might lose
those important files.Also, they're usually fairly slow so transferring files may take ages.

There's a reason that proper SD cards like Sandisk are the price they are, and that's because they do exactly what they promise. a 400MB micro SD card right now is still about £90, and I think the largest capacity microSD card that you can actually buy is only 512GB

I know what you say is true, from experience. That was via ebay (64gb) and got a full refund. Therefore confident, to some degree at least, that if it's rubbish, I should be able to get my tenner back. Worst case scenario, I've lost the cost of less than two beers

As was a expected, the 1024gb for a tenner was a fake. I've used free Mini Tools Partition Wizard - https://www.partitionwizard.com/free...n-manager.html - to delete the single bogus 1024gb partition and then create a new 32gb FAT32 partition and this seems OK from tests with a spare dashcam wired up at home.

Not so great to pay £10 for just a dubious 32gb mini-SD but I will complain once all six of the items I've ordered have arrived. Hopefully get a refund and then it's a freebie.

What was surprising was that it turned up in less than 10 days.

You need the 'H2testW' utility (freeware) to verify any flash memory/camera cards/USB sticks. It's the recognised gold standard test and will tell you exactly how much memory is present. Almost all cheap flash memory from China is fake/counterfeit using reject quality 2-4Gb chips. It's an industry in itself.
