Dead:4 Pt Usb Hub $1

[ud666]

I just purchased one.

I think the stuff is shipped from Hong Kong. Free shipping promo too. I bought from this place before (through eb@y) and the stuff arrives in Vancouver in 1 week. He's got other stuff like mem card readers that seem to be reasonably priced. I bought an XD card reader size of a stick of gum, and works great.

Note the free shipping, as well as 10% off if you use coupon code 'WELCOME" . Hope you find something you like.

what about duty?

[chickengrill]

I've never heard of them. Are they reliable?

[Jon Lai]

Can anyone confirm? But if you use Paypal, you can't go wrong with $1. I wouldn't pay with CC tho.

[itsyours]

I don't know, but after browsing the site, this may be a small business. We probably will hurt him a lot if buying it for $1 with free shipping. So, IMO buy it only if you really need it.
Thanks for posting this hot deal anyway, good deal for those in need of one.

I'm out of USB ports, but too bad this wasn't USB 2.0.

[Johnny Powel]

Bus powered ,USB Ver 1.1

Not worth $1.00 USD

[mrken]

I have a feeling that the LED specifications are over exaggerated...

But this still looks like a good deal:
http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/led/LE1001.htm

$20 USD for 1000 8000 mcd LEDs! Either the beam is more directional than +/- 10 degrees, or they overrated the brightness. But just $0.025 CAD per LED! Nobody can match that probably.

[Spent]

Must be old inventory
Why would anyone even manufacture 1.1 in the last couple of years?? :confused:

[Stinger]

Thanks for the link. Picked up an LED flashing for 5$ aswell from him.
Total cost for Hub and flashlight was 6.76$. Well spent in my opinion

[Fantaz]

How does this Infrared Web Camera (http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/com/CA4001.htm) look? Only $15.

Also what would you guys think is the brightest led flashlight there?

[Absolute]

Crazy price, but I'll wait for a cheap USB 2 hub.

[kylewong]

You can use it on mouse, keyboard and printer. I am using 1.1 on slow devices. I also use 2.0 on speed demanding devices. But bottle neck is still a problem no matter what you do, except you are using pci-e. :D

[zero64]

what about duty?

Is duty an issue when the price is $1?

[story]

thanks, mine broke down a while ago.

[Lego]

The postage from HK is more than a buck!

[Jon Lai]

Bus powered ,USB Ver 1.1

Not worth $1.00 USD

Actually its 90c USD, if you read clearly. I think its worth it, definately old stock tho. The same USB2 sells for $7.2US, which is about normal pricing.

[dmdsoftware2]

Is duty an issue when the price is $1?

Well, duty isn't the issue. The issue is the taxes (GST and PST). You only get hit with taxes if the item is >= $20 CDN.

[TinyTank]

lol. Didn't think of dat.

Great, orderd some stuff. Thanks!

Isnt the Combo 18in1 2.0 card reader with 3 ports USB 2.0 hub a good deal too? only $15

http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/com/CA2015.htm

is worth ordering?

[mrken]

Would there be any duties or brokerage if I place an order totalling nearly $40 CAD? It is shipped from Hong Kong, with which postal system I am not familiar ... Any help appreciated! :)

[Lego]

Separating your orders to under $20 may get around the customs tax.

[guest 03]

They have LED's for bikes.

I'm going to get one of those. Cheaper than what you can get anywhere else esp w no shipping.

[riskit]

what about duty?


Here is some thing I post some time ago concerning duties.

Check out their housing equipment! :lol: :lol: :lol: I thought this category was for cases/drive enclosures maybe?

not too much, other than the price compared to AA....I suppose a pair of rechargeables will be in order...any recommendations on which flashlight to choose?

[nounou23]

I actually bought from that guy before. that exact USB hub and it's great. I paid about 5$ shipped on ebay a long time back.. but for 1$ you can't go wrong.

What you need is an extra controller card to wiggle into your slots, which adds another primary and secondary cable avaliable for you.

The item you linked to looks like its used for external hard drives or optical drives, altho I don't know how it will work as the drive will need a power source as well.. better just buy an enclosure.

[mouf]

I don't know how it will work as the drive will need a power source as well.. better just buy an enclosure.It come with an external PSU, click the pic #2 to see it. I don't see why this would not work paaji, inside or outside the computer case, just connect the drive to a 12v plug if used inside. Don't expect more than 15MB/sec sustained though. This would be handy for a quick HD/optical drives diagnostic too.

Damn my order was rejected and $1 got refunded. It says I did not fill out enough info. Damn I hope you guys did not buy all the $1 hubs if I tried putting the order through again! :mad:

Ordered one(ordered but didnt confirm as ISP took a crapper), but i just confirmed it.


My laptop only has 3 usb 2.0's, so this will help alot. I don't mind the speed.

[GerryDavid]

I bought an XD card reader size of a stick of gum, and works great.

Is it usb 1.1 or 2? My camera uses the xD format, and I would prefer if its 2.0

USB 1.1 XD Card Reader/Writer,
Full Speed USB 1.1 or High Speed USB 2.0 Connectivity
LED indicates the Data Access

The 1.1 xd name makes it sound like its just 1.1, but then below that it says 2.0 connectivity.

Also this is $4.50 after the 10% coupon. It says I can use paypal, but im trying to decide if this is worth it, hhe. Its not something I need, just something Id like to have.

[mrken]

Noooooo! I was actually going to order something else with the USB hub!!! I hope they are just temporarily OOS...

Anyway to get around the $20 USD value? Maybe I should e-mail them to see if they can lower the item price but add a shipping charge?

[felix]

Isnt the Combo 18in1 2.0 card reader with 3 ports USB 2.0 hub a good deal too? only $15

http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/com/CA2015.htm

is worth ordering?
that's a good price. I'd order one if I actually needed it. :) Only thing is, I find it awkward to have the USB ports off the side. Would rather prefer 2 USB ports on the back, and 1 in the front along with the media card slots. Otherwise it's kind of ugly having USB cables dangling near the front of your desk where you can reach the slots easily. If you know what I mean.

Note : It's in US dollars though.

I was looking at that item too. not sure what you're asking, but yes, of course you can use it in your car. the transmitter should work for your ipod mini since it only requires a 3.5mm jack.

as for using the usb port to charge, I'm guessing it probably outputs the same amount of power as your computer's usb, so I would guess it would also be safe for the ipod. but then the cheap price scares me, so I wouldn't put my ipod on it.

Are u guys sure this place is legit? I wouldn't want to give my payment info away and have all these charges on my account later on. They have some really good deals on interesting items though, not just a USB hub... which I've seen for $2 at CWO. how long has he/she been in operation?

I don't know. I figured the OP decided to try and "kill" it for some reason. I ordered yesterday no problem and I can still order today no problem. I tried all kinds of things to make it NOT work, but I can find NO problem.

I thought maybe I will receive an e-mail saying OOS. We'll see.

Same, I can still order. I put in 100 and nothing comes up. I haven't ordered mine yet tho since I'm a bit hesitant. I want to order 1 but it won't let me use the 10% off WELCOME code if I do, but I don't want to risk for two units of these.

Since it sounds like they won't be going OOS or back to original price for a while,
I guess I can wait until folks here get theirs. Its already in the cart anyways.

[ud666]

It's 1.1 for sure. I don't mind the wait, I do'nt think it's much of a difference for me since I transfer less than 20 pics at a time at high resolution. Doesn't take that long. It's good to have with your laptop or to take it on vacation if your mem card gets full can transfer onto a hotel computer or internet cafe.

Thanks for the deal, I ordered a USB Hub, let's hope no customs or brokerage fees...

Wow, I'm wondering how much light those "32 LED flashlights" or "24 LED + Laser" lights can put out. It says visible over a mile away!

http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1010.htm
http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1009.htm
http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1013.htm

In terms of value, the 9 LED and 15 LED + Laser is on sale for $5 and $10 respectively, which seems pretty good, considering it's less than a buck an LED.

http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1004.htm
http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1012.htm

[Singh]

Go for the $5 one. Chances are it will be bright, but the light probably wont be very concentrated.

[Angultra]

Any one of those would probably rock on a camping trip. Or the laser one on a super soaker, that would make for a killer nighttime water fight.

[Jon Lai]

Noticed the topic has been changed to "still good..?" cuz it probably is. I'm still laughing to myself why a guy would base his online store on LEDs... I wonder if there are actually that many ppl who buys them.

[lonelydriver]

are the prices CND or USD?

I found out there are many on eBay .. some going for even less after shipping. Cheapest I found was for $12 US shipped, from this seller : 2005huian (http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=2005huian)

However I'm looking for one with an AC Adapter (necessary if you're going to use as a USB hub). Which is the best deal for one?

Lol, all I'm looking for is one w/o a AC adapter. I got one of those Gameshark-made PS2 4-port USB Hubs from FS on the clerance table for 5.95 (org. 39.95) 1-2 years ago, which had an AC adapter (you can't expect the PS2 to grant u so much power) so I used that for a while with my old computer. Now I need one that doesn't have AC adapter, as its a real pain on the electric bill if I only need to plug in a couple more devices.

http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=004204&cid=990.434

Probably the exact same too. Lots of sellers on eBay selling these gadgets for even cheaper (most going for 1 cent, with inflated shipping costs to make up for it .. and most are sellers from HK). I'm guessing we could find these at Pacific Mall also, but probably easier to just buy online. :)

[spinbot]

FYI -- for those that were skeptical about buying from this retailer, as long as you are paying by credit card you are safe. Those high interest rates we pay are good for something. If any un-authorized charges are on your card, you simply do a charge back to the vendor. If they can't prove you made the purchase, the Credit card company will charge everything back to retailer. If they happen to be out of business, then the credit card company absorbs the loss.

For the record, my order of 4 USB 1.1 units has also been shipped and the appropiate amount was charged to my MasterCard.

The address belongs to Digital River... http://www.digitalriver.com/corporate/contact02a.shtml
