HP Flashdrives

USB2.0 Flashdrive v212w.  

Today I purchased three of these 32GB flash drives but when I got home and plugged them into my laptop each one ony had capacity of 28.8GB. 

HP make it impossible to contact them directly through their website so this is the only forum I can find to advise them.  I want them to confirm how they plan to provide me with the other 9.6GB storage which I paid for.

Probably you know nothing about the way vendors (all of them) count bits and bytes and how computers count bits and bytes.

Vendors count in decimal (10, 100, 1000 ...) system and computers count in hexa-decimal system (0 to F). The following link explains why 32GB is only has around 29GB
