Just bought two of these at Pennant Hills Post Shop, had them scanned and they turned up $9.95 each instead of $39.95. These are not the Chargers that use AA batteries like previous posts, and so far they work very well on my S3!
Also has 3 year warranty and have free connector tips for life.

Edit: looks like it's nationwide and it's on clearance!
I work in this port office as a mail sorter and I was just scanning the item to see if there's any price changes on it. I was surprised when I saw the price too (I don't work at sales, so I don't see any "memos")
I think it's storewide since it's in the EPOS system. They didn't even change the pricing stickers!
kudos to you for working as a mail sorter! :)
If that wasn't a stuff up, then that's a steal.
And if it was a stuff up, then that's also a steal ;)
Some reviews on Amazon raise build quality issues ( http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP1000-Universal-Rechargeabl… ) but $10 + 3 year warranty is worth the risk I think.
I think it must be clearance stock as I went to 2 x post offices and there was no stock
Cheap at $10, 1000mah battery will only provide less than half the charge of a galaxy s3 battery, but perhaps better than nothing.
Just purchased the only one they had at my local PO will come in handy TX op.
Boo I went to 4 In Melbourne and found none
thanks op.. got 2 from thomastown in melb =)none left now
Read the Amazon reviews - so many people say the USB connector is too weak and just snaps off.
So I'll pass but thanks for the post OP.
2 left in glen waverley Vic when I bought 2 this morning.
Thanks for sharing.
cheap but only 1000 mah. I may diy a portable usb charger.
last one taken from moonee ponds - thanks OP
and bonus - the 4 attachments fit every device we & kids use - phones/ipod/ds
Found the only one in Box Hill & .. The staff scan the item and told me it's on HOLD for someone :(
Got one in Paddington, Brisbane this morning - they still had about 3 or 4 left (behind the counter).
does anyone know if this is rechargeable, or a use once device?
Definitely rechange, mate. Definitely!
Got one at Crows Nest. One left on the shelf.
Had used this before, pretty good for recharging ipod or mobile. Definitely not used for Galaxy Tab or larger devices.
Does anyone know if any PO have them around Liverpool area?
Tried to get it on Monday… went to 4 stores (Deepdene,Balwyn,Surrey Hills,Box Hill) and found one in Box Hill but the staff scan the item and told me it's on HOLD for someone.
Walked pass a PO this afternoon, walked in to try my luck… AND FOUND ONE !! But the scanned price is $9.99 ?
What price did you guys get for? $9.95 or $9.99 ?
you said 'no thanks youre ripping me off' didnt you ?
no
Tried today at my local post office they have heaps in stock.. Scanned through as $29.95
Got one at East Bentleigh Centre Road PO.
"Free tips for life" is a bit of a scam - they charge $9 for postage for a single tip which well and truely covers the cost of the item and real postage costs.
Thankfully most of the tips I wanted were included anyways (Iphone / mini and micro USB).
That said, a female USB tip would have been a logical inclusion in the package - unfortunately not included.
Any ideas as to whether this is store specific only or storewide?
