I'm always looking for neat gadgets and small items, which is why Aliexp is fun. I usually see the same items rebranded and more expensive in pop culture stores and Walmart months later
For example, I see that Walmart and Best Buy are now selling those multi-outlet USB chargers popular with such outlets as Anker, UGREEN and Aukey
None of the retail ones have USB-C outlets, though. The only USB-C items I see at retail are single-outlet chargers from Belkin
Mainly intended for Pixel phones. There's also a number of Gamestop Nintendo Switch chargers, though almost all of them charge at sub-optimal wattage
I think that it takes a minimum of two to three months for an OEM to produce a mass-market electronic accessory, assuming they don't launch alongside a new cell phone, in which case they probably made an arrangement beforehand (MFi program)
what about shipping costs?
also, ugreen's products are quality. or at least look like they are . not sure about housefires
I only support electronic accessory companies on Aliexp that have a lot of crowns next to their name. I think that the overall safety of these products are improving over time, due to OEMs pressuring each other to build consumer loyalty and trust. Given the political climate of China, I think that the main pressures are market-based, rather than bureaucratic
if you want usb cables or chargers buy anker or ugreen
I agree
Anker's one of my favorite accessory brands
High quality, attractive packaging and industrial design
Though, a bit of a step behind in some aspects. I had a power bank from them which I exchanged for one with USB-C output from another manuf, which they only added to the model I bought about a month later
yeah I've read about them. nice niche and as I understand they nailed it
I read about the founders...
but I believe they cater for americans, I'm euro so I buy cheap chinese shit or try to find something better from ali
another chinese brand to watch is vention
anyway, I need to get my 2 packages from china... the mailman sent me a letter
