Seems there is a BIG misconception going on. We are not related to Shopping Square and we only carry Australia Stock.
ShoppingExpress on 10/08/2012 - 11:44 ¶Hi amir,
For this particular model, we are sticking to $85 shipped. You should consider cleaning up all their stocks at that price!
+1 voteThumbs up for this deal! Also thumbs up for Shopping Square. Placed an order this morning for a different product was happy with the shipping of $8 and then all of a sudden when I hit order a $5 off shipping coupon dropped on without me even asking reducing the shipping down to $3. Very good!

+1 voteShoppingExpress on 10/08/2012 - 11:35 ¶hehe, thanks for the business, you probably purchased something in our $5 shipping cap deals


I also got good service with "Shopping Express" last month on the deal they had on Intel 330 SSD's. Got the drives very promtly with a low postage charge. Although Netplus did trump them a fortnight later with their $99 plus free shipping deal, but oh well tech prices!
+1 voteCan you beat this price OP?

yes, BUT the IOP's will, which is where its all at really……. the 240gb version have usually twice as many channels as the 120gb, which is why they are "faster/speedier", take the intel 520s for an example…. when you double the size to 500gb you dont get the extra jump in channels, they are still the same speed as the single 240gb..
were not talking about sequencing reads on a blank drive which are the 500meg in/out that are quoted.. when the drive is filling up, having 2, in raid will destroy a single drive in every which way… thats when the RANDOM 4k read iops and seek times will kick in noticeably…
the vertex 4 has a crazy low right speed of 0.026ms but this has been going up with new firmwares,…
if you really just want to take a low brow approach having 2 drives not even raided and one for os and one for apps would also give you a better benefits, esp in searching or what not,.. and for me i would rather this then just 1….
The Quote Train on 10/08/2012 - 13:42 ¶Good deal.
My advice to shopping express, as someone who works in marketing - change your name. The worst possible thing for you business is people mis-attributing you for a competitor.
The Quote Train on 10/08/2012 - 14:04 ¶Yeah perhaps one of the more extreme options i'll admit. The site needs to be completely differentiated from shoppingsquare though.
ShoppingExpress on 10/08/2012 - 14:47 ¶Kind of agree. But it should be clearer today and hopefully day by day? Whoever can suggest the best solution, i will give a $20 Store credit to his/her account today! :)
+1 voteThe Quote Train on 10/08/2012 - 15:05 ¶I guess the main problem is that Shoppingsquare are the top of mind brand when people think of companies that start with 'shopping'. People were immediately mis-attributing you to them as this thread shows. And they'll do it in the future, even if you correct them in the comments.
So if you're not interested in changing your name, consider your branding. Consider changing your logo, or at least it's colour scheme (and then match that colour with your nav bar up the top as you have already done). Shoppingsquare have a red logo, and yours is maroon, i'd go with a completely different colour to avoid any confusion. Make your logo and colour scheme consistent throughout the site, use it on all communications (emails, packaging etc). A good logo is one that people can instantly recognise without accompanying text.
Check out the 'daily clearance' section of shoppingsquares website. Looks like something you'd see on your site. It's easy to see how people would subconsciously get confused.
Shoppingsquares website looks busy and cluttered, yours is much cleaner (could be better though), and can be improved with some consistent and clean branding.
My 2 cents..

Our price is $389 delivered
It is up to you to make the decision :). Before you make the purchase, no harm verifying the information below from Shopping Square?Australia stock?
Can be claim for GST?
Next day dispatch?Our information upfront to all customers:
- Stocks from Australia Authorized distributor, with standard Australia 3 Year Manufacture Warranty
- Items can be claimed for GST
- We dispatch within 24 hours upon receipt of payment
- We will give you prompt response for any warranty issues

Not to be a party pooper, but does anybody knows if this is fixed? Article is about week old http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/4870/lsi_sandforce_5_serie...

Heh Tweaktown, i would be very wary about what you read on there, they have had a real bee in their bonnet lately ever since they were dropped by several large vendors along with nvidia partnership. They have been known to spoof 'reviews' for the page hits.
Till its replicated by a reputable reviewer i would take it with a very large grain of salt.
