I like MemoryBits, mostly due to them throwing voucher codes at you after each order and the like. I've bought several SDHC cards from them via PayPal and they're quite quick on the delivery front.
 
Mine usually come from 7dayshop. Not the fastest delivery times but the prices make it worth the wait.
 
7 Day Shop all the way.....There are too many fake cards on sale out there
 
I recently bought an Integral I Pro 8GB CF card from Memory Bits for £18.00

Works prefectly, will buy from them in the future.

I think the ones from Play are the slower Extreme IIIs at 20mbs. I just had a really bad experience with Play, where they screwed up my order (sent the wrong item) and then sat on my money for a month before sending out the replacement :bang:. Useless!

7 Day Shop are a bit slow but they have the 30mbs version in stock for the same price.

I've never had any problems at all with Play.com -- I order stuff from there regularly and it usually arrives within a few days.

And in the case of this item I can confirm it is the 30mb/s Extreme III version (I bought one on Friday last week and received it Wedneday afternoon), with the full retail packaging.

The true test of a company is how they behave when problems occur.

My recent experience was an eye opener. They were indisputably at fault from scratch (sent the wrong item) but the whole returns process was designed for their convenience and left me out of pocket and without my goods for weeks.

Caveat emptor.....

30mbs and all original packaging :)
I do agree these companies are rated for their customer service, I've yet to find out as no problems so far.
 
I tend to use 7 Day Shop Sandisk CF for my partners camera and Amazon for Sandisk SDHC for mine.

7 Day Shop usually have bargains on Dane Elec which i have not bought recently but i got a CF one in the USA a few years ago for my Canon S50 (in the days when a small mortgage was needed for memory cards!) and i have never had a problem with it.

They also had some bargain Toshiba cards in a mail they send me recently. Again, i haven't tried them but i work in IT and Toshiba products are generally very reliable.
 
Just got a couple of Kingston 8gb micro SD cards from MyMemory and they were delivered very quickly. They are also very competitive on compact flash cards - only a pound dearer on the new 8Gb Sandisk Ultra CF - and there delivery is a lot quicker than 7DayShop
