Best Place to Buy MicroSD Cards For Shipping To Canada?

[BfA]

I just picked up my HTC Touch Pro on Monday and am thinking now's a good time to get either a 16gb microSD class 2 or 8gb microSD class 6 card to go with it. I'd wait for the 32gb ones to come out but no timeline on that yet. So my question is, where's the best place with the best deals to buy these from for shipping to Canada (specifically Calgary)?

Also, does anyone know if they have Class 4 or Class 6 16gb micro SD cards out yet? Does the speed of the class 6 microSD card make a big difference over the class 2 16gb one?

Ya, I've been looking on eBay. It looks like there's quality vendors for 8gb class 4:

However, I think the vendors for the 8gb class 6 are questionable:

Out of those two for the class 6 I'd prolly go with the one from Hong Kong, but they don't even mention the brand name so that leads me to believe they may be fakes?

Hmm, well after researching this I'd say that Newegg has the best prices:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...nd&Order=PRICE

If I order the cheapest one there, the shipping is $12 and the item is $20!! that's pretty hilarious.

Memory Express is not good on prices usually. I find that NCIX is way better. However, for items like monitors I usually go with ME just because they're local. This is the options from Memory Express:

As you can see the prices there are a lot more than NewEgg and they aren't Class 6 speeds either.

As it stands right now I think I'm gonna order the Transcend 8gb Class 6 card:

Too bad I don't need a card as I already have an 8 gig that I paid 50$ for four months ago but this is a great thread. Lots of great contribution by everyone.

Unfortunately they have been sold out of the 8GB Patriots for some time now.
They are all class 4 from what I recall....although I am not too sure if that matters at all on the TP.

I tried twice to order from newegg.com .....but no go for Canuck credit cards to my Houston reshipper.

Good question though.

Ya, I always like going through NCIX, but this is their reply to me:

Hello,

I'm looking for an 8gb Class 6 microsdhc card. I found the one below at NewEgg and was wondering if you could order it in, and if so what the price would be?

At this moment, we only carry this

For the shipping, it usually will cost you about $10 for small items.

Thank you

I would never buy anything under a class 6, even if you pay a little bit extra. The speed difference is definately noticable, especially if you're even considering a class 2.

Hmm I looked at these guys, but frankly I wouldn't trust them or any other dealer from Asia when it comes to memory cards as they're way to easy to fake. Some other people in the forums have been having problems as well. Click the first link and go to the bottom and read comments (there's quite a few):

Well **** Me, that memory card went from $21 yesterday to $26 today! WTF!

Luckily, this one is $21 now though:
