I just bought a Nexus 5X in the recent JB Hifi deal and I have had a lot of trouble finding APPROVED USB Type C cables that are either available in Australia for a decent price or can be delivered to Australia.

For those of you that don't know, it's been widely reported that some cables are "so poorly made they can ruin your expensive hardware".] (http://lifehacker.com/buy-safe-usb-type-c-cables-by-looking-…)

To cut a long story short, cables should be "Benson approved" as per this reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3robzo/google_spre…

Anyway I found this Blitzwolf cable on Banggood, and as you can see on Amazon's page, Benson approves:

Free shipping too. Enjoy!

      I asked for a refund since I will be O/S when this gets delivered.

      They actioned the refund and said to check my PayPal in 48 hours.

      I also removed my + vote because Banggood obviously have a crap inventory system & shouldn't be selling units they don't have. Sorry OP.

      is out of stock because the inventory status changes so fast.
      It would be restocked around 2016/3/31.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/03/2016 - 21:16

    Hmm I haven't received any emails about delays and only have my PayPal confirmation. Anyone received an email from bang good? Wondering if my order has been lost in the system.

    +Amazon.com has just made a change to their "Prohibited listings" for Electronics.
    They've added the following line :
    Any USB-C™ (or USB Type-C™) cable or adapter product that is not compliant with standard specifications issued by “USB Implementers Forum Inc.”

    My cables arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with them! Shipping took 3 weeks.

    I used a cheap cable in my car charger and it caused my car's computer to throw up constant errors, so well worth getting a good one

    I have received 3 cables. It all maxed out at 1280ma while Joyroom cable I have bought maxed out at 2500ma on the same charger for my Nexus 6p. I have concluded that these cable may be fake. I suggest you guy to cancel your order if possible.

    • caprimulgus on 17/04/2016 - 00:00

      so much for "benson approved"! thanks DK!

    • WaywardOne on 20/04/2016 - 08:45

      My cable arrived today. I am curious about whether it is a fake too — the Blitzwolf sticker used to seal the box is too easily peeled off (it's supposed to break isn't it?)

      I dunno, maybe I'm just too paranoid about buying authentic goods from a company in China :D

      The cable looks the same as this :
      http://www.blitzwolf.com/BlitzWolf--3A-USB-Type-C-PVC-Revers…

      Same markings, same blue USB "tongue".

        If bought from banggood.com its genuine. The stickers come off easily.

  • Jamiea on 26/04/2016 - 10:48

    Still waiting on my cable, it was "shipped" on the 3rd of April. Time to lodge a Paypal dispute?

  • Black Hole on 06/05/2016 - 22:43

    Banggood did the right thing and refunded my purchase. Thank you for a fairly painless resolution. They ran out of stock and my batch was the restocked batch. Maybe they are hard done by their supplier.
