  • Thanks OP. Good description.
    Code seems to only work for the blue cable. When I picked yellow it said invalid code.

  • mine came to $0.44 AUD
    did i do something wrong or is the price quoted in the title USD?

    • +6

      You did it right, all prices are in USD I'm pretty sure. Like the 1c deals end up being 2c with paypal rounding.

      • thought so

      • +3

        +1 for you because I like to eat rambutan.

        • me too…

        • me too. i also like mangosteen and longan.

  • works for black, thanks TA!

  • Only works on blue for me.
    I added all the colours to the cart one by one, and all of them, except blue, rejected the code.

    Used Citibank to pay, came to 0.42c AU

  • Tested every colour and all work fine with the coupon code!

  • Different colours work for me also, thanks TA. And appears to be limit of one colour each at that price… I bought a blue and a black one at 39c USD each.

    • I assume you used different accounts? When I tried a second time out of interest, I got the message that the code was expired.

      • I purchased them under the same order

  • Great deal :)

  • +2

    I got my 2 cent one today.

    • +3

      I got it last week. It didn't work…

      • +1

        Mine worked :-P
        Gave it to a mate for his birthday :-PP

        • I might use it as a spare shoe lace so the 2 cents doesn't go to waste.

        • Oh wait, I thought we were talking 2c lightbulbs. My bad.
          Apple will probably trademark the iShoelace in 20 years…

        • I got the lightbulb too, that works fine…

        • +3

          Oh good! Is everyone ready to reenact Mr Burns' Birthday now?

        • will 15,600 bulbs be enough ?

      • Mine didn't work either. Do you think I can return it!

      • -7

        Nor mine. So negging this deal.

  • 6 month warranty too…

  • Bought for my iPad. Thanks OP.

    • +2

      Oh yeah, that'll test out the charge current capacity of the cables! :)

      • I will only use this cable for data / sync with my PC. For charging it's too short anyway to connect to the wall charger.

  • +2

    Do you think this is an apple-certified chip cable? :) I wonder whether the iphone will block the cable or just warn about its dangers?

    • +2

      I don't think so but for 40 cents who cares : )

    • I'm sure it's not Apple certified but can still be used for data transfer and slow charging. For the price I will just leave it connected to the PC as a handy way to sync with iTunes.

  • +4

    some prefer it short

    Yes - I do. It's very useful to not have a huge cable dangling when I'm charging my phone on the go using my external battery…

    • thats what she said

      • +3

        no she didn't

  • Do they take out $1 on top of the charge for the cable? I had 53 cents in my account and it wouldn't accept payment so I transferred $100 from my savings and it did work. I also unticked the $1 insurance.

  • -1

    The code you entered is invalid.

  • Excellent! Thank you!

    Doesn't work for the green colour for me but all good :)

  • Thanks TA. It worked for me.

  • I bought two items separately of the $0.02 deal previously.

    Received only one so far.

    It's been a month I think since the orders were made.

  • +3

    Just a note, delivery take at least 3 week and can be as long as 40 days in my experience.

  • Just bought 3 for $1.17 USD delivered. Sweet. Let's hope at least 1 works.

  • Brilliant! Logged in to vote, thanks OP

  • Thanks, worked for me.

  • -4

    Bought 3 - I don't even own an iPhone or Apple product.

    Thanks OP.

  • SOLD OUT~~~

    • +1

      sorry..PINK is sold out…RED is not

  • Thanks TA

  • Well you have just broken me in tightarse, my first tightarse buy !! Got 2 on order for $0.78 USD cheers Mate.

  • Code expired. But I grabbed one. Thanks.

    • +2

      I think the code only expires after you've purchased one.

      • That would explain it. Thanks!

  • I dont know how you get these deals, but you are AWESOME!

  • For me the code worked for Blue, Black and Red but not Green.

    Cheap, inexpensive gifts for the family.

    • +8

      glad im not in your family!

      • -2

        Not sure about your comment? My siblings have iPhone 5s and these are random useful gifts that aren't for Bdays or Xmas occasions.

        • +3

          Not sure about your comment?

          relax, it was just personal…

        • I see. I guess ideasman likes Green but not Blue, Black or Red.

  • Thanx TA ;)

    don't know if this applies to anyone but the last time i bought from Gearbest they took their sweet time to deliver - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/135059?page=2#comment

    they took nearly 2 months to have my purchase reach me
    one user expressed his/her frustration by admitting he/she will contact paypal to dispute the purchase

    so unless it's an item you don't really need, or something you're happy to sit and wait for, i wouldn't buy from them

    • +1

      they took nearly 2 months to have my purchase reach me

      What do you expect for 2 cents ???

      • if you could bother reading my entire comment, i clearly stated

        so unless it's an item you don't really need, or something you're happy to sit and wait for, i wouldn't buy from them

        my comment was directed to the slow delivery time, possibly caused by the fact that it was 2 cents. do you need me to dumb it down further?

        and don't forget, this IS OzBargain. a bargain is only a bargain when something costs lower than the usual yet the quality and service is not lost.

        • +1

          a bargain is only a bargain when something costs lower than the usual yet the quality and service is not lost.

          When i pay 2 cents, i don't expect a high level of service.

        • thanks Jv for your 2cents

    • +1

      The 2 cent, 2 month wait was worth the surprise we got in the mail after we'd forgotten all about it.

  • Cheers buddy!

  • Only blue and red worked for me. Thanks!

    • Only blue and red worked for me.

      Didn't work for him

    • same here. code applied to both cables, US$0.78c

  • -1

    If you have BLOODY $800 to $1000 iPhone, why the hell you are using $0.40 cable for. Just buy the bloody $15 from apple shop, that simple.

    • +3

      That's how we saved enough to buy the phone in the first place.

    • Same analogy - "why the hell you are asking me to save after you have BLOODY married me. Just buy me that bloody MK handbag."

    • Make this a BLOODY $434.50 to $1000 iPhone … see here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/124085
      And it is a $0.39 cable …. even more savings …

      "Take care of the "cents" and the "dollars" will take care of themselves."

  • Thanks TA!

    Love belting one out before bed.

  • +1

    With the 20 or so after market cables I've bought, only about 2 have lasted longer than a few months. And now even those ones are starting to give me some problems…

    • True. For the money I've paid buying cheap cables that failed, I could have bought a genuine apple cable. Gah!

  • Thanks OP. Ordered one.

  • -1

    Out of stock :(

    • Try different colours.

  • -1
