" ordered a Luxio 64 GB flash drive on Feb 23.rd for 139.98 USD + 15 USD shipping to Hong Kong.
On Mar 4.th I contacted MemoryTen because the order was still being 'verified' (obviously the product was not in stock).
A same day reply apologized the delay with it was an international order (!!!!) but assured me that it was ready to be shipped same day.
Some days later, the product was actually shipped.
I received the shipment on Mar 23.rd, but inside the box was a Transcend flash drive in stead of the ordered Super Talent drive.
The product page on MemoryTen web site is quite good and comprehensive - lots of information:
- A picture of the drive
- Super Talents product number.
- The dimensions
- Available Colors
- Manufacturer information
- Tech information
- Compatibility
- Note on a supplied leather case
all very specific to the Super Talent Luxio drive (only).
But as MemoryTen didn't have the Super Talent drive in stock, they updated the product page by adding :
'or Transcend depends on the stock availability' - (partly hidden between al the other information which still is 100 % Super Talent specific).
And so they shipped the Transcend.
The Transcend drive is a 'value' product (Transcend's own words), where as The Super Talent product is a high end product, so I was not happy with the replacement. And Transcend I can buy a lot cheaper here in Hong Kong, where as the Super Talent drive is not available here.
I contacted MemoryTen Customer Support a few times, but all they offered me was to return the product at my cost. Then they would refund the 139.98 USD but not the shipping cost. But been cheated once already, I decided not to take the risk of being cheated again. I will try to sell the Transcend product myself.
We mailed back and forth a few times, but without any luck. And when MemoryTen assigned a new person to handle the case, and I had to repeat everything again, I gave up.
IMHO: No doubt, I have been scammed by MemoryTen. My advise: DON’T USE THEM - THEY ARE SCAMMERS.
