    same day dispatch Until 23th Dec.
    Get in quick guys, same day dispatch until 23th.
    (Have someone read over your changes before making them live lol)

    Can confirm these are actually indeed Adelaide stock, though not the advertised 21/28awg (power/data) - more like 24-26 awg power. Decent cables for the price (and Australian stock), but a $1 cable isn't going to magically replace your expensive Anker/Blitzwolf/etc cables, even if Vuelo advertises similar specs.

    • Have updated dispatch times.

    Thought it was a good deal, then I saw untracked Postage is $4.35. Expensive considering Large Letter Post is only $2.
    No deal.

  • How long are these cables ? Can't see on listing

  • Hi OP - are the usb-c cables/connectors/hubs all complaint?

    was considering:
    http://vuelonomadicgoods.com/product/usb-c-usb-c-cable/
    http://vuelonomadicgoods.com/product/usb-c-to-usb-3-0-female…
    http://vuelonomadicgoods.com/product/bstuo-type-c-hub-usb-3-…

    but came across a previous thread (admittedly nearly a year old now):
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/228770#comment-3376723
    Are your current USB-C accessories all compliant & different from previous batches?

    • We are all complaint and also offer 100% money back, we did have issues on our first & Third batches, but we are now upto our 16th round of productions.

  • Any guarantee these are properly wired and aren't going to fry my expensive electronics?

    The USB Type C cable being sold here is not very high quality (and if you bought it for the original $10, congratulations, you were ripped off). The cable has a folded and stamped connector which may mean it is made of zinc tin alloy which some people report as easily broken and may not handle the cable's power requirements. A "good" cable uses a deep-draw extrusion method that produces a Type C plug that is a single piece of metal and does not have a visible seam on one side of the plug. Also I highly doubt this is a Benson Leung approved cable, so use at risk of frying your devices.

    Here's a similar quality USB-C to USB-C Benson approved (5 star rated) cable, although a little more expensive than whats being advertised here, its still affordable and ships to Australia (well to my location at least): https://www.amazon.com/USB-Type-Cable-3-3ft-Reversible/dp/B0…

    Here is a list of Benson Leung's tested/rated USB Type C cables and adapters: https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AFLICGQRF6BR…

    • USB C-C cables don't need the 56kOhm resistor, hence no need for Benson approval.

      Also, The USB-C cable that came with my (now returned) Lumia 950XL had a seam visible, so that's not necessarily a good sign either.

      That said, I personally use Blitzwolf, Orico and Anker cables.

      • Im not saying having the seam visible is necessarily a bad thing, rather the higher quality connectors dont, and are much stronger, and longer lasting. I also posted a link to a cable that had the seam visible, so Im not necessarily advocating against cables that are like that. I was merely sharing information with those who are new to the USB Type C cables and may not be aware of potential hazards of using a lower quality, no name cable that may end up frying their expensive devices.

  • Purchased from the previous deal and can verify these are decent cables. i don't know much about the tech side of things (admittedly), but definitely no issues with the cable and happy with the charging speeds.

  • why does the price still show 2.30 and 1 on usb-c cable and micro usb cable but when added onto cart, becomes full price?
