Techbargains Contest, Which store to buy flash based removable media from?

[Full disclosure: This is for a techbargains.com contest and I do not hold a financial interest in any of the companies I discuss.]

In my opinion, the best store to buy removable media from is www.buy.com

I usually browse Techbargains daily, and invariably the best deals for any flash based products is buy.com

What I like about buy.com:
1) Very competitive pricing
2) No Tax in my state
3) Free Shipping
4) 10 Dollars off with new Google Checkout Account
5) In my opinion great customer service: During my last order I forgot to choose free shipping and got the normal FedEx shipping instead. Since I ordered and realized my mistake on a weekend, I shot an email out to their customer support right away. I asked to get downgraded to free shipping and get the shipping charges refunded. Buy.com refunded my money, but kept the faster shipping! I was very happy with the result.

Over the years I've bought a lot of USB keys, SD cards and micro SD cards from buy.com.
