    I just wanted to share my experience with PandoraSales. Simple put these guys are a joke.

    I ordered a battery and needed it quick so I selected 2-3 day proirity shipping. I didnt get the battery until 7 days later, these clowns are shipping all their packages via parcel post even if you pay extra for priority. Reason being that parcel post is a 1.50 while priority is 3-4. What a bunch of scum bags. They would not even refund me the differince.

    Do not buy from these clowns.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I only live a few states over from Orlando FL, where they are based out of.

    The package is clearly marked first class parcel post when I paid for priority. I have talked to a few other people who have purchased from them and they have had the same issue.

    They refuse to answer any of my emails and their 800 number is bogus. If anyone else has been scammed by these people please PM me. Buy from someone else screw these guys.

    I paid $10 dollars for priority shipping when in reality it cost them $1.50.

    This guy obviously did not really order from us. This is just a ploy by one of our competitors to try to slander our good name. We answer all emails the same day and if you do have any questions please give us a call 1-800-232-1648(M-F 10am-3pm est).

    If this did happen we would be happy to give a refund for the shipping difference.

    Wow now I get a response, simply put these guys will screw you over any chance they get.

    They are shipping their packages via parcel post even if you select priority shipping. Do not buy from these scum bags. Of course now they want to refund me the shipping charges.

    Enjoy your fake sony memory stick, hope you knew that when ordering from them. Even tho they claim to be selling legit ones.

    If it reads unknown as I'm sure it does its fake.

    Its not just pandorasales tht is selling fake memory sticks, its ALL the pandora dealers. When you check to see if it says magic gate it will "read unknown". All the pandora dealers are a bunch of crooks in my opinion but oh well not much you can do.

    Video - how to check if yours is fake.

    To be honest though, it's pretty obvious they're going to be fake based purely on the price. Yes, of course they shouldn't advertise them as real when they're not, but i would always expect all of these to be fake, just like i'd expect all pandora battery tools to be cheap knock offs rather than actual Sony batteries modified.

    Precisely. Thankfully, the Pandora knock-offs actually *DO* work as advertised.

    For something like a memory card that *NEEDS* to have a specific certification (in this case, "Magic Gate") -- it just pays off to spend the extra dollars/pounds/rupies/seashells and get exactly what you need locally (if you can) and walk out with the product in hand. I know I could have purchased cheaper, but I bought my 4gig Sandisk (that is "Magic Gate") from Best Buy locally for $20. I'm sure I could have found one for $12-15 -- but for the extra few dollars, I *KNOW* this card will work. If it doesn't I can go back and get another one -- on the spot.

    If the price difference was something on the order of tens or even hundreds of dollars -- then online is the way to go.

    I just wanted to tell that I had a great experience with pandorasales.com. I live in the USA. They have very reasonable prices, and I got the real pandora battery and an 8gig magic memory stick. The real thing!!! I don't know who is saying these things but obviously they just like to cause trouble,
    And complain about trivial things.

    If you think you got a "real" memory stick then your an idiot and have not read any of the following thread. Check this link, pandorasales.com does not sell "real" memory sticks.

    I think you are the idiot who thinks that he got a legit memory card from pandorasales.com. Considering none of the pandora dealers sell legit memory sticks, they are all brought over from china.
