I've stopped buying memory cards from non UK retailers. I know it's a bit of anecdotal evidence/comment/attitude but after receiving a couple of fakes from different overseas retailers, I stick to Amazon now. Good price though.

How long do you wait for shipment? If it's from overseas, by the time it reaches you, price would have dropped further already. Not to mention the hassle to send something back if you changed your mind or it has developed a fault.

Is it worth risking it from a Chinese seller who may well send you a fake card, then swear blind they didn't. When you can pay a couple of pound extra and buy it direct from Amazon and other UK outlets and have a far higher chance of receiving what you think you were buying.
Sorry OP, its cold from me mate.

I have to agree. Great price but I would stick to a UK seller when it comes to these things. Easier to challenge if something goes wrong or more importantly, if the card turns out to be a fake.

It might be 64gb, it might be class 10, but it will not be Samsung, thats for granted.
And forget about warranty
Cold for me

Personally don't trust Gearbest. Purchased a CCTV camera which was lost in post. They have constantly delayed, I suspect trying to make the 28 day PayPal dispute deadline pass. They have now taken to not replying at all to support tickets. Be warned.

Biggest problem with Chinese SD Cards is not just losing the money but losing files and even if backed up, hours of wasted time. Just not worth the hassle IMO after several experiences. A couple of quid saves hours and files and peace of mind when it comes to SD Cards. This will most likely not be Samsung but back of a little HK shop branding rejects for Gearbest. As for Gearbest, one the biggest dodgy companies out there online:
I cant believe Gear Best deals are allowed on here. I ordered 2 items from them back in August and never received them. First ever time I had to open Paypal disputes. Tinydeal is much more reputable

These cars are very easy to be copied by chinese sellers so only buy from verified sellers with good product feedbacks

Yep. I'd go go for a UK based trustee retailer before spending a couple of quid more.

Too many fake sd cards out there, I'd only buy from a seller that I trust and would pay more for that piece of mind

I would always spend an extra £2-3 at Amazon before using one of these companies.
