    I've used 7Day and never been disappointed about the speed of service. Products arrive quickly, well packaged. I have bought a generic camera battery from them that I used once, and am uncomfortable using again due to it becoming a little misshapen (there's a small bulge in it) but it was only a tenner so I'm happy to leave it. For film, cd cases, lots of stuff I've bought over the years, they have been A1 though!

    Just peeked, that's a sandisk card - they aren't "generic" so I would say that that's a good buy!!!!

    Bugger, I was planning to buy a couple of replacement Konica Minolta batteries from there. I don't want to risk my precious camera :(

    Depends on what kind of battery. If you're buying Lithiom Ion batteries (panasonic, or other branded things like CR2s, CR123a and so on) they're fine. Just the "own brand" camera specific slab type battery I got wasn't great.

    It was this own brand one I was looking to get-
    http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_3&products_id=74425

    It was upwards of 50€ for the branded version so 10£ is too good to be true.

    I see it looks very similar to the olympus one I got.....I would say its too good to be true.....! Of course it could be 100%, you just don't know, and I'm the only one who's had a dodgy battery!

    I remember seeing these (SD cards. Sorry to go back on topic.) questioned before in Bargain Alerts (May be worth a search). There are 7dayshop.com reviews but I couldn't find anything convincingly good or bad independent reviews about them on-line. I did find reviews of MMC cards that were made by the same manufacturer and the verdict was that they were quite poor for camera use.

    If it's for an MP3 player, or similar; chance it. However, If it's for a camera then I'd recommend spending the extra cash and purchasing from shop4memory.com .
