After ordering not nearly enough last time, I just had an express shipment arrive this morning by DHL.

There are 100 of these available.

If you have any questions, let me know. More stock due to arrive over the next week, I'll keep you posted.

    These must cost you like 10c to buy. $2.45 including shipping. Your ebay fees must be nearly a $1, your shipping cost must be at least 60c (plus envelope) and you need to still make some profit!

    Great price, don't know how you do it at that price!!

      I don't make a lot on each item but as I have said in previous posts, I am building up my little business slowly, and as I increase my sales of each product they slowly become cheaper for me :-) It takes a bit of doing but I manage it :-)

    How fast is shipping from these guys? I'd like one or two within 2 weeks :)

      I'm in Melbourne, I ship them out pretty quick by regular post.

      I got 2 from the last batch and received them in 5 days. (Melbourne —> Sydney) Probs. doesn't help considering i'm late 13 hours, but just saying that it's better than waiting 3+ weeks for the same thing from offshore.

    Do you send these in envelopes?
    Surely these are thicker than 2cm…

    Not a bad local price. eBay cheapest from China 0.99c + 0.99c so a bit cheaper but can take up to 3 weeks to arrive!!

        Thanks, even though it's not a large purchase, it's good that you make post-purchase support a priority as well. I think that's the problem with any sort of business, post-support, it's the only way to keep customers and bring more in. It's tough competition out there, so all the best.

      Good point, I'll edit now. Although, I would love to be able to run my car from USB, would be much cheaper.

      True, not looking to be the cheapest anywhere in the world, just to offer good local deals.

    most devices now and future prefer 2A, 1A too slow charging.

    • -1 vote
      brentsbits on 31/12/2012 - 09:03

      Phones as a general rule are about 1A, tablets and such are 2A. This isn't a hard and fast rule of course but it's a fairly accurate generalisation.

      _Bruce_ on 31/12/2012 - 09:15

      To conform with USB all devices must:

      • Work for coms at 100mA
      • Work at 500mA on a computer
      • Work at 1.8A on a dedicated charger

      So everything will charge at 500mA (OK they don't have to, but if they don't you will be really annoyed), and shouldn't draw more than 1.8A.

      Where you may get into trouble is that if this uses a termination resistor on D+/D- then that indicates to the device that it can draw 1.8A, which is not the case (and doesn't conform to the standard). If it doesn't have the resistor then it confirms and devices will charge at 500mA (slowly).

      No device (tablet or otherwise) should ever draw 2A from USB (doesn't mean that they don't).

        could you put all that in simple English?

        •  
          _Bruce_ on 31/12/2012 - 09:44

          Assuming that your device and this thing both comply it means:

          Your device will charge at 500mA (slowish).

          If one or both don't comply then one of two things will happen:

          A: Your device will charge at any rate from nothing up to 1A

          B: Your device will draw too much and the charger will fail (unlikely).

      Both my Galaxy Note 2 and iPad 4 need 2A or more. I'd also like two usb slots.

          _Bruce_ on 31/12/2012 - 09:51

          I don't know what you think you are doing that for. I GUESS that you mean add a termination resistor across the data pins, indicating that 1.8A is available, then wait and see if the smoke gets let out when you try to charge something. Personally, I wouldn't do this.

      • +1 vote
        _Bruce_ on 31/12/2012 - 09:49

        If you are going by the standard, the iPad should only draw 500mA from either, as this and 1.8A are the only divisions that the standard allows.

    Only $3 from the "reject shop" and comes in 'Apple white'. 5v/500ma
    I bought one the other day, perfect.
    I also got one with a "good quality" charging/data cable for iphone3/4 and with cigarette charger for $5.
    i thought that was better value and i had it straight away :)

    If you can wait, Ali Express has some good prices for quantities of 10. Cheap enough to give to people for no reason at all.

    Got mine for a dollar, posted to me from Hong Kong. Admittedly, it took about 10-20 days, but I got it and wasn't in a huge rush…

    I'm sure these are better quality, but I'd rather buy 3 for a dollar and replace when they break than buy one for $2.45 which I can't replace without paying double.

    •  
      J 1 on 31/12/2012 - 10:49
