I used to have one of these USBCards also. But as the USB connector is relatively small compared to the rest of the ‘housing’, it was quite fragile, and after one year of use the USB connecter cracked – leaving all my data on the card out of reach. Dang! I have not dared to buy a replacement card ever since. But if they come up with a version with a sturdier connecter, e.g. some metal perhaps, I would be interested. The credit card form factor is VERY convenient.

WHITE is available in the 8GB, best to Google “Freecom USA” as JSmith stated earlier. Ordered mine and all is well

Gordon! Thanks, that must be it. Darn Caching

It worked for Terry because he had already been to the site and it was probably cached. I clicked the link, and it brought up the Euro price page. I navigated to the US price page, then closed the window. I then clicked the link above again and this time was presented the US price page.

Terry, the link didn’t work for me, either. I googled Freecom USA and got the USA page.

Unfortunately the 8Gb Black is already out of stock on the main site.

Thanks a lot, Terry1 I hadn’t noticed the flag before. It had defaulted me to the US site but I could choose US from there and it showed the prices in US $ from there. Unfortunately, I ended up not ordering the drive since their shipping awfully expensive considering the weight and the price of the drive itself. I hope someone else offers it with a reasonable shipping cost.

Jay, Warren, etc.,
I just tired it again:
1) I clicked the Order from here link above.
2) that took me to the page of drives. (8GB now out of stock). I chose the 4GB model (note the US flag in the upper left corner of the page).
3) I clicked Next and chose the “I’m a New customer” option
4) entered my address and choose “United States” from the Country option! Here’s the screen shot: http://terrywhite.com/usshipping.png
5) continued on with the order…

I also tried your “Order from here” link and did not see the US as an option for shipping. I also did not see the prices in US $. I searched for their US site and it pointed me to retailers such as newegg but they don’t have these drives in stock

Warren,
I live in the USA and have these the shipped here all the time. My link at the bottom of the post takes you directly to their US pricing and shipping! I just placed an order before writing this post and had no problem choosing “United States” for shipping. Please make sure that you are clicking the appropriate link.

Great idea. Too bad that in trying to order it, there is no provision for shipping to USA

Brian, My “Order them here” link should have taken you specifically to their US site. However, if you go to their main site at freecom.com you can specify US.

No U.S. in country ship-to list? What’s the deal?
