ALL of the fking reviews are within like 30 days.
it was listed as a sponsored item on amazon

ALL reviews are verified purchases

and all reviews have perfect grammar? Periods, commas, exclamation marks, and even capitalized letters in each sentence. All reviews are just 2 to 4 sentences long and making the product seem extremely great.

They seem fake?

All reviews are 5 stars, except one review is a 3 star, probably the only legit review lol?

idk but just seems sketchy

i used to always rely on amazon reviews. but after seeing that it makes me a bit for suspicious

i was originally ordering a 2 pack of amazon basics cables. but the reviews were overall bad and saying that the charger died after a few weeks to few months. and the ends snapped off.

so i rely on reviews

lol ive actually seen on some website that has listings for people to do odd jobs over the internet for small fees.
one of the jobs was posting great reviews to blog articles.
im sure theres one for creating amazon accounts and posting fake reviews


edit: just saw this article

ok well i finally ordered these....

https://www.amazon.com/Zakix-Type-Micro-Cable-Pack/dp/B00UWPX3KW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

6 pack for 10 bucks. better than any in store price of 1 for 10 bucks. or some places in store sell 1 for 7 or 8 bucks.

over 4000 reviews, some are bad, but fk it, its 6 of them.... if 1 breaks, well theres 5 more.

ive never really broken mine except a few weeks ago, my charger cord got bent, and a few days ago it started to say charging slow and barely making any connection. so yea i need a new cord.

ive seen some of these cables at 1 foot... the fk, who would want a 1 ft cable like this lol? even 3 ft is a bit short at times. 6 feet seems just perfect

5 star product from no name company....

I smell a scam. Not to mention everybody and their mother are making cables these days....they are easy to make and cheap to manufacture so there are bound to be loads of crappy ones.

what 50 cents :o

just checked. like 85 cents each for the 6 ft cables. but its like 2 bucks shipping. so yea pretty cheap

prob would be around 7.50 or 8 bucks if i ordered 6 with shipping. if shipping is still around 2 bucks

1.5 ft 24awg with ferrite core. 94 cents. Pretty sure there is a 15% site wide discount as well so you're paying 80 cents per cable.

There are cheaper ones going down to 72 cents a cable but they use a thinner gauge wire and have no ferrite core. Buy 10 of them you pay 67 cents per cable, you pay $6.70 for 10.
