Price drop on these magnetic cables where the three connectors (Micro USB, USB-C or Lightning) can be switched out. What makes these different to other magnetic cables is that the connectors can be rotated in multiple directions. They're also braided for extra durability.

The deal is not on the 2m cable as that charges US$4 shipping. One per account.

    Shipping: AU $5.27

    Total BeeEss

    • +3

      Not for the 1m cable. It's US$0.29

      • That's for the 'plug' only (i.e. no cable). Cheapest shipping for cable with selected plug is showing as $5.27 AUD

        • Well did you select the coupon as per the deal?

        • +1

          For some reason, AliExpress occasionally selects a more expensive shipping option. If you click on the shipping price, you should be able to change the shipping method from AliExpress Standard Shipping (AU$5.27) to Cainiao Super Economy Global (AU$0.65).

          • @chrisl123: Did you get the cheap postage for 2m cable?

            • @[Deactivated]: I already bought the 1 metre cable, but from what I can see, there's no cheaper postage option for the 2 metre cable.

              • +2

                @chrisl123: The deal isn't on the 2m cable that's why it wasn't included in the title/description.

                • @Clear: Thanks for the clarification, I was only replying to ollie2012's post.

          • @chrisl123: Cainiao is a fake shipping website in my experience. Spam websites use it to show fake tracking information that never arrives. In a month of time, that fake website gets shutdown.

  • is Shipping: AU $0.38 via Cainiao Super Economy Global any good? Trustworthy? No options for recourse if it never arrives?

    • +4

      The name sounds offputting but all my recent AliExpress orders are taking about 4 weeks to arrive. It's essentially replaced China Post that was resulting in packages taking over 3 months.

      • Ah I see. Lol can't really complain at this price. Order placed, thanks!

    • +3

      I honestly don't understand how it costs $0.38 to ship something from china but it costs $1.10 to send a letter and ~$10 to post a parcel within Australia.

      • +22

        Because Australia post executives wears Cartier dumb but expensive watches, Chinese executive wears Xiaomi smart watch

      • +5

        Government subsidies make everything possible.

      • +4

        China get a subsidy for being a "Developing Nation".

        They used to get the cost of packages sent to Australia etc. 100% subsidised, but Trump got tough and they lost that; that's why all the Ali Express/eBay/Banggood deals stopped having free postage.

      I wouldn't spend even a cent on these guys.

      • 4 comments and in Europe and a very old post. I have not had any issues so far and 6 out of 6 arrivals (2020) so all within last 12 months.

        • https://au.trustpilot.com/review/global.cainiao.com

          I'm not sure if it's the same company. I can confirm it's a fake shipping company becuase I faced it. The website that I purchased an item from was fake and lasted only one month.

          • @flame143: I am usually guided by feedback. Essager has been around for a couple of years and plenty of positive feedback. Not a lot else one can do. Buying from any of these overseas places always carries a small risk especially with shipping. Either way I personally have not had any issues and touch wood remains that way. No major loss though being only a few dollars.

            • @Borg: They are talking about the shipping company i think…

              So even if the store sends it, the shipping company might lose it in transit then it s you versus the shipping company when they indicate that they delivered it, WITHOUT getting a signature

              • @[Deactivated]: Yeah, I understand that however if the "Essager" who choose to use this shipping company are any good and the Item is not delivered, they should refund or replace. Would be bad for business & reviews if they didn't. As they have a 97+% good reviews, I can only assume that most are happy and received their items. Time will tell.

  • Are there NO double magnetic plugs??
    ie both ends have the magnetic plugs instead of the USB-A

  • Can you only order one at this price?

    • +1

      Yeah the coupon is a once off discount per account.

      • Correct quantity set to 1 max

  • Unresolved Reports
    1 for Title/Description

    Just tell me and I'll update it sheesh. I'm not asleep.

    • Sucked in neggers no edits made. My post was perfect 😊

  • +1

    Grey only 1 m at this price, red is not

    • Red 1m is showing as US$3.99 before coupon/shipping/tax.

  • They wont even allow you to get an extra tip LOL

    Does anyone know if these tips will fit this cable?
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001913575562.html

    • β€œJust the tip”

      • There are two types of cables: the ones with mini pins as here or the one with one big middle pin that does not do data…

        Wanna make sure

        • This is very important to point out to new people.

          I only got into the magnetic cable phase a year ago - it changed my life as I use lots of different devices, so I stocked up only to find the single pin one does not do data. So get the one with multiple pins!

  • +2

    Kind of inefficient if we only buy 1 cable and 1 plug.
    What if we have multiple devices (the cable useless without plug, we need the normal cable)
    Also if we want to charge at different room (need to remove the plug)

    • +2

      thats why you need multiple plug tips to combine into single cable, from Android microUSB to Mac, to USB-C

      Amazon has them for $13-15 with 3 tips

      • Yeah but wish it was 3 x say microUSB tips (and not one of each) included to use on multiple devices i.e. just leave the tips plugged in to devices. Having one of each i.e. USB-C and MAC is pointless for those that don't use anything MAC or have USB C devices.

        • +1

          The tips are $1.6+ a pop at this very store here, so cheaper than amazon and you can choose your flavour!!

          • @[Deactivated]: I tried to select the tips BUT couldn't add to cart. Kept saying "Please provide missing information first"
            I can only assume was out of stock as had Selected "County, Item, Shipping.
            I had no problems adding if it was the cable.

            • +1

              @Borg: Make sure you have red selection box, if you double click the item, you de-select it without realising

              Or you need to select the "length" on the tip too heh

              • @[Deactivated]: Crap, I tried all of that or so I thought! I returned again, went through the process and indeed it requires the "length of cable" as well. Thought I tried with that but I must not have. Ah well, Too late now as proceeded with the cable with single tip………….before it gets ozbargained (common occurrence if one snoozes)! No drama's x1 is fine to play with. Thanks.

                • @Borg: you can actually cancel that order before they send it

                  • +1

                    @[Deactivated]: BUT am afraid of losing the $3 off vchr……………all good as can order tips down the line. I just need x1 to play with to see how good that are (its the wait time that obviously would be the issue though).

                    • @Borg: But note that the coupon doesnt apply to the tips

                      • @[Deactivated]: I know, but I was going to combine with the Cable (or at least try) and get $3 off whole order. I don't want to cancel the Cable order now in case the $3 Code fails to show again upon recreating the same order but with extra tips……. if that makes sense.

                        • +1

                          @Borg: I tried it, the voucher wont allow you to buy the extra tip.

                          I bought these on Amazon for $14 with 3x tips and a bullet carry case for the tips

                          So the voucher and a few tips that you want is still good value

                          • @[Deactivated]: Ah ha, great to know that you tried and it didn't work. Nothing lost on my side so.
                            Yeah I was 50/50 on whether to just order the tips on a separate order but it only allows x1 per order which is kind of silly (probably to prevent users from using the $1 off $1.01 orders? Am all good and won't be greedy for now. Thanks for the feedback.

    Showing >$5 for me?

    • +1

      You should read the deal a bit better. There's a part about the coupon.

  • +2

    Thanks OP. Got it for the price you mentioned

  • -1

    No more coupon.

    • Still showing for me. Have you used it already?

      • +1

        I thought the instructions were clear enough

        • +1

          Clearly they were not clear enough ;)

      • sorry, okay now. thanks!

  • -1

    It says no more coupons available?

    Also, how do you order more than 1?

    • Click buy now and see if the coupon pops up. Also limited to one per customer (unless you create multiple accounts).

      • No, mine still says No coupons available. Guess they've run out or I've been blackmarked.

  • There's no option to use PayPal for payment, only credit cards. I thought PayPal works with Ali Express?

    • That's really weird, is there no option to change payment method on the 'please confirm your order' page? I was able to buy the cable using my PayPal just then.

  • +1

    20% of the people not reading the description 'showing $5 for me'. Also must resist buying, already bought 2x non-magnetic ones.

    • Check the votes on this comment. I may have been abrasive but the description is there for a reason!

      • Yep, sucks I ran out negs for the next 24 hrs!

        • +1

          I think it's time we get some cashback deals on Specsavers.

  • I like to use PayPal for security reason, are credit cards are safe to use in this online deal?

  • got the 1m iOS one for 1.63 USD

  • where can I buy tip only?

    • $1.6+ from these guys too??

      • that not fair, pay a tiny more for the whole cable

        • cable and tip is $5+ without coupon lol

  • https://i.imgur.com/Dy5IVdQ.png

    I know theres a coupon, I'm using it, but can't avoid $4 shipping?

    • Unfortunately only a single 1m has the cheaper insurance.

      • Ah, the size, of course, cheers.

  • Interesting and without even signing in.
    This Supplier/Shipping Company does not deliver to your selected Country/Region (Australia).
    AND
    Sorry! All of these coupons have been allocated.(for the $3 off $3.01 purchases)

    • Thanks. Looks to be expired now!

      • Actually when I went to my Cart to check out, it showed the discount applied i.e. perhaps wasn't showing as I already clicked it. Not sure if the same for you?

        • Definitely expired as the coupon doesn't show in incognito. That's how I check.

  • Sadly cant see the $3 off option anymore, good for those who can use this though.

  • ahh yeah couldnt seem to use the $3 coupon..

  • And now I see $1.32 off spend $1.33
    But I can't buy from the same listing, one transaction per account it seems

  • Just saw some better ones ie 5A
    And some 100w

    • can you post some links please. i missed out on this deal :(

      • no specific deal, just browsing around and saw.
        you can search 5a magnetic cable
        hundreds of them

  • Still working (can claim coupon), not expired, just bought one. Thanks OP

  • Just be very careful with these magnetic connectors, as they can damage equipment especially when using them for PD.

    • What's PD?

    • +2

      It's USB-A to USB-C so it wouldn't even be able to do USB-PD since that requires C at both ends.

      • Better late than never. Thanks for that. I had never heard of PD but perhaps because I don't have any USB C devices!

  • +1

    19/01/2021 ordered
    today 5/2/2021 arrived, sydney south west.

    who said aliexpress is slow or missing delivery…. i have no idea how… maybe if you keep getting missing parcel then move house is the answer. :D

    • Cainiao Super Economy Global really sounds like it'll be super slow but it really isn't.

  • Arrived, doesn't work. Sent video to seller. They tried to say it was because the cable wasn't plugged in tightly. Rubbish.

    • Thats a shame.
      Mine is stll in China……….not showing shipping beyond there. I look forward to "plugging mine in tightly". Hope they aren't all dodgy.

    • mine one arrived last week, is superb, regret not buying 5 of them
