UK Powerport £14 - new lowest price!

#1

£14 is now £1 less than the more common discount of £15.

I am not expecting a vastly lower price for this, may go to £13 but I’d be surprised if lower than that.

What I am expecting is this is superseded with a smaller version, so if you want this type and quantity of port but want a travel version, and not in a hurry, then hang back. Adding a 10W port to the 18W Nano £10 should be easily in Anker’s reach and eventually be this price but half the physical size. Anker can sell the dual-port Mini for £7-£8 so a USB-A port for £3-£4 is a reasonable estimate, so if the Nano £10 you get to £13-£14 estimate for an imagined successor to this product not too far off in the future.

In my case, I own enough of this.

This 18/12w PowerPort is very useful.
Covers charging requirements for most day to day items, unless desperate for super fast charge.
Great share @professor

For traveling I prefer the Mini and the Nano, it gives a degree of resilience, an extra socket, if you’re patient they end up about £17 total. This duo is quite large in comparison and so more for home use. The next level up of a 30W+15W is slightly better technically as the 15W is not far off 18W and does a decent job on many devices.

I just own so many of these UK chargers I’m always hesistent to get more, this form factor is overdue a downsizing, to have a 30W more than double the size of a 18W is telling me something must be coming soon, but I been saying that months.

I did get the email a couple of weeks ago about it.

Must admit my being in lockdown and using prime was great - just not for the bank balance :joy:

If i didn’t get a daily delivery i was most upset :rofl:
I bought absolutely nothing that i really needed, just the fact i could click order and get it the same day or next was good enough for me!

Yeah only thing I bought that I really needed was coolant for the car :joy: everything else was a want.

I did by stuff for the other half to keep her cool during the heatwave - cool packs, cooling towels, fans etc

Edit: oh and some filters as I done so much hoovering I broke it :joy:

The £/$ rate is towards UK favour right now, there’s been a 2 month 9% currency change which would make it more likely that imported goods, which have no underlying Covid-19 inflation pressure, lower in cost. So I’m saying it’s more likely prices either are repeated or new lows. As not all cost is imports, assume about 4%-5% reduction so this item like a 50p-£1 order of reduction.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday is usually the time to pounce on bargains but as only in-stock items get it, you have to be very quick.

I saw for the first time an actual Amazon Prime truck yesterday, delivered to many houses nearby, up from the personal vehicle, Hermes, etc. Amazon has gained hugely from the fear and resulting home delivery. Those with clean drivers licenses gain. Shop workers, less so.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen an Amazon Truck @professor
I assumed they pulled up somewhere central to where loads of people ordered and sit for a while.

A truck saying Amazon Prime. Roughly 1/3rd of houses in sight had items dropped off. Usually DPD and Hermes or sometimes personal vehicles does Prime delivery. I know news of lots of drivers hired, so Amazon getting its own delivery fleet, cut out some middlemen?

Maybe, although a lot of businesses are outsourcing delivery.
Staff, lease costs and fuel doesn’t come cheap.
Its beyond belief how little some courier firms and private drivers will deliver a parcel for.
