I was looking for a USB-C micro/SD card reader and chanced upon [SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader](https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/product/HKR62ZM/A/sandisk-extreme-pro-sd-uhs-ii-card-usb-c-reader) on the Apple Store and it retails for S$75.

It is very expensive and can only read SD card.

I continued my search and found Satechi Aluminum Type C Micro/SD CARD Reader on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Aluminum-Type-C-MacBook-Chromebook/dp/B019PI2WPS) that retails for US$14.99 (S$21).

But sadly it doesn’t ship to Singapore directly or to my US freight forwarder (this is the first time I am encountering this).

Left with no choice, I went to [Satechi](http://www.satechi.net/index.php/type-c-usb-card-reader-space-gray) website and bought directly from there for **US$24.99 (S$35)**.

Luckily, Satechi ships directly to Singapore. I bought it together with the [Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter 4K](http://www.satechi.net/index.php/computer/connectivity/hubs/satechi-type-c-hub-with-pass-through-for-charging-ethernet-port-4k-hdmi-output-sd-micro-card-reader-3-usb-3-0-ports-silver-597) and the shipping cost is US$23.25 (S$33).

I used the coupon code 10OFFALL for a 10% discount on my items.

The Satechi Aluminum USB-C Micro/SD Card Reader is available in three colors: Gold, Space Grey, and Silver.

It supports reading of microSDXC cards.
