Buy.com just dropped their price on this CF card. After rebate, it's $47.95. This is not the normal card. It's the ELITE PRO, which writes at 5.2 MB per second and reads 6.1 MB per second. Also free shipping.

Not a bad price. I was also able to get it minus a 10% discount from a personalized coupon from them.

I ordered a Sandisk Ultra II and a reader. Got the reader now trying to get my money back for the card that didn't show up.:(

That sucks to hear. Ordered one of the above listed 1 GB cards as a backup. Couldn't resist free shipping and $10 rebate.

That is a pretty good deal indeed but from a past experience with buy.com I vowed to never use them again for anything. Hopefully their customer service dept. has gotten better over the years. At one time they didn't have a listed phone number if needing to contact them and the email response was very slow.

After fruther review their resellerrating is awful too: http://www.resellerrat​ings.com/seller2107.ht​ml (external link)

I ordered two of the Kingston CF cards... my first experience with Buy.com. I got the goods in the mail within 3 days, so that part of the transaction went well. I just sent in for the rebates, so we'll see how that goes.

Just received mine. Took 6 days, but since it was free shipping, I'm not complaining.... :)

It is good to see you guys not having any problems with buy.com. I just can't order from a business that doesn't have a phone number for customer service.

This is the first time I've ordered anything from this company, and I'm NOT recommending this company or anything like that. Just wanted to point out that, once you place an order from them, you get a very professional email that lists their phone number. So apparently they got their acts together since your negative experience with them.

I think I'll order a couple more Kingston from them. Just can't beat that price.

Just been on their website myself to look at their special on Kingston Elite Pro 2 GB CF. Their website clearly states that anything over $10 qualifies for free shipping. It also tells you right next to each item whether it qualifies for free shipping or not.
