Back in May, I bought a Samsung EVO Plus 128GB microSD card when it was listed on Ozbargain. It was eventually sent and it arrived a bit late- not a really big deal.
I used the supplied SD card adapter and plugged it into my laptop SD socket for testing. I used H2testw which has worked flawlessly for all previous SD cards up to now. It revealed that the SD card was faulty.
As a result of the testing, the SDcard was rendered unusable- it could not be repairedusing CHKDSK in Windows and it would not reformat on my laptop, my desktop or on my Sony A7 camera.
Also, I read the QR code on the packaging and it went to Google Play and invited me to install WeChat- what is that about?
After a bit of back and forth I was given a fault code and I sent it back to them. Unfortunately, I did not use any registered postage.
Magically, Shoppingsquare are saying that it never arrived. I put my return address on the back and it has not come back to me. This is a first.
Has anyone else had this experience? I find it difficult to believe that the card never arrived.
I have lost faith with this company.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the item got lost in the post, but their reviews don't paint a positive picture: https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/shopping-square
Cut your losses and move on. If it turns up then it does but consider it gone and lesson to send registered/tracked returns.
