| Some competitors | ||
| Order Turnaround Speed | 5 days guaranteed lead time* for any model, memory capacity, colour, branding or quantity. | 2-6 weeks, maybe quicker for a narrow selection. Company uses 3rd party manufacturer so order fulfilment is out of their control. |
| Who actually manufactures your USB drives? | Flashbay's wholly owned facility, designed and dedicated to making logo branded USB drives. | Company acts as a middleman - your order is palmed off to a 3rd party overseas factory. |
| Memory Chip Used | Always Grade A quality memory from the likes of Samsung, Hynix, Intel and Micron. Same as that used by companies like Apple and Sony. | Reject memory chips which didn't make the grade for brand name products. Unfortunately this bad practice is now the norm for 3rd party overseas factories. |
| USB Drive Performance | Fast read and write speeds from Grade A NAND flash and high quality SMI controller chip. | Painfully slow read and write speeds from sub-standard memory and no-name controller chip. |
| Quality Control | 20 point ISO certificated quality control on every single USB drive. | Low quality standards, patchy quality control, if any. |
| Print quality | Our dedicated branding department ensures excellent print quality using high quality inks and machines. | Inaccurate colour matching, variability in logo positioning from product to product. Print scratches off quickly. |
| Returns Procedure | We collect free of charge and immediately from anywhere you are. If we get it wrong, we will put it right very quickly - 100% satisfaction guaranteed. | Company cannot return your faulty order to their 3rd party Chinese factory. You may get stung. |
| Sample Policy | Next day Free dummy samples of all our product range, in all standard colours. | Very limited sample selection with little colour choice. Beware, without seeing a sample, the colour and appearance of your ordered products might not be how you expected. |
| Minimum Order | From just 10 units. We don't push you to order more than you need and we encourage small trial orders. | Usually 100-250 units minimum order. |
| Accreditations and certificates | RoHS certificates for all products. Company ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14000, FCC certified. | Company acts as middleman and cannot vouch for their 3rd party overseas factory. You might get certificates for entirely different products. |
| Products | Designed and developed to deliver maximum promotional impact by European and US product designers. | Design often a copyright infringement of brand name products and actually illegal in Europe and USA. Competitor buys from a 3rd party overseas factory and is ignorant of the fact. |
| Warranty | 10 Years. | 1 year - the legal minimum. |
| Custom Pantone® Matched Product Casing | Offered within standard 6 day lead time, from 250 units. | Either impossible or high minimum order quantity with super slow turnaround. |
| Behind the company | 2 million USBs per month. 3 global locations. 250 staff. 10 years experience. | Corporate gift salesperson putting the reputation of your company at risk by delivering inferior products with your logo on them. |
