That's an idea but in the original package, shipping cost depending on location would probably be close to half of the card's price.

Don't we all know by now?
The world outside of North America does not exist!
But seriously, postage for such a little card shouldn't come out to much regardless of where it's posted.

dopeytree · 02-12-2009, 12:31 PM

Ha! What an awesome idea

jordieb213 · 02-12-2009, 01:19 PM

That would help me out a lot...seeing as how I'm using an old 1GB card...

AlexanderMayorov · 02-12-2009, 01:25 PM

I'm having the cards gift-wrapped and sent directly from the websites I'm ordering them from to the winners. Shipping outside of North America exceeds or matches the value of the cards, and customs would be added. Therefore, unfortunately, I cannot extend this giveaway to our overseas members. Sorry!

The 16Gb card given away will be the Extreme III version (30Mb/s) [$120 value] and the 8Gb will be an Ultra II (15Mb/s) [$35 value].

jct us101 · 02-12-2009, 03:43 PM

Damn...thanks so much! Such a great administrator...
