Pen Drive

Umiq88

Need to buy a usb pen drive for college i know theres loads out there but im looking for one with a uniqe design. I like the swiss army ones bu they're a bit expensive for the higher capacity ones.

I don't know. I have a PNY one, am happy with it. It's been through the wash 3 times and still works.

I also quite like the style. The one I have is now big for a 1GB one though.

I'd choose quality over looks to be honest especially with something like a pen drive.

Theres a few different ones here, I have not dealt with the company though.

If you are just looking for a basic one with nothing special on it, try 7dayshop.com, they have this one for £12.99. 1gb for a decent enough price.

I can tell you that that drive is a very compact and perfect for a keyring. I have 2 of them.

Cheers for that guys

Have ye ordered from them before? Saw this on their P&P page...

"If the delivery address for your order is in the United Kingdom, all prices shown are FULLY INCLUSIVE of UK VAT where applicable and all goods are in FREE CIRCULATION within the EU. No further duties or taxes are payable upon receipt of your order - we pay these for you.

For all deliveries which are made outside of the UK, you may be asked to pay Sales Tax at the correct rate for your delivery country. This may be charged on top of the price paid to us, and is collected by your Post Office when your goods are delivered."

i know you safe if items under £18 like the USB key but if this is true..."All our delivery charges are based on your entire order and are not per each individual parcel."..then mite get another few thingys while im at it

Also how much was delivery if ye did? Normal dispatch is £3.95 but that seems bit too good to be true or does it?

They are a very good company and I have never had issues about their no VAT for items under £18 (I think). It was great in their earlier days before any VAT was charged. I got a £300 camera VAT free back then. Pity they have stopped selling the cameras.:(

Plus their postage is very reasonable too.

If that finger reader gets fussy you`ll have to call tom cruise to crack it open. Get an ordinary one and put password protection on it instead..cheaper too.

Even better get a U3 enabled drive and have drive security, web browser, email, antivirus, etc. in your pocket.

You won't get that delivered to Ireland afaik, Play will only ship electronics to the UK, correct me if I'm wrong.
