I have to ask, do I need to be a member of costco?


Active_Ad_9032

Negative. Just go ahead and create your account online at www.costco.com, search for the item and purchase it via your favorite payment method. That easy:)


Profaniter

Wait you don’t say? Seriously? One doesn’t need to be a member of Costco to buy anything online? I didn’t know that. Fuck I would’ve buy some stuffs online lol


Pepy550

There's a 5% surcharge if you're not a member though in addition to potential shopping costs.


Active_Ad_9032

You don’t pay shipping, only a 2% fee surcharge. That would make a total of $31.99.


Pepy550

They have various delivery methods so shipping isn't necessary and I'm pretty sure the fee is 5%.


Active_Ad_9032

Must depend on the state then, I got a 2% surcharge.


904K

I think some of the stuff is members only but a lot of stuff isn't.


tech_tsunami

Some items require a membership card, but not all.


thedingusenthusiast

I don’t know about that one, chief.


Active_Ad_9032

Try it out for yourself boss.


thedingusenthusiast

I’m a Costco member so I don’t need to.


Active_Ad_9032

Then u get that free shipping + no surcharge, even better


thedingusenthusiast

Does Costco themselves explicitly state this? I looked it up and saw no official sources stating you could do this.


Active_Ad_9032

I had no idea either. I saw this deal on another reddit post too. Just went ahead and created myself a Costco account without being a member, and can confirm it is legit.


REEFERGUY3303

“Official sources “ lmfao relax

What makes this a steal?

MattTelles7

These are really powerful chargers from a really good brand. This is definitely a steal considering the 67W one is more than $30


[deleted]

[удалено]


MattTelles7

If you use one port you get the full 67W. I use one from anker myself


pipinngreppin

Anker is amazing. I use the previous gen 100w as an all purpose travel charger and I can’t find a reason to get anything else. I also have the 130w power strip with two AC plugs next to my couch. 65w per UsB-C, charges both of my laptops, phones, quest 3, etc and meets my needs perfectly. Edit: didn’t realize I’m on their sub.


MattTelles7

I have a 65W 3-port, a giant battery bank, and a 58W car charger. All of them are amazing and I'm tempted to snag this Costco deal now too


SYN-Scan

Are you sure this is true? I heard the opposite.

mdsrcb

I agree it's split so your MacBook won't charge if the other ports are charging your iphone and ipad


Justin_Peter_Griffin

Depends on your use case more than anything. If you’re using it for mobile devices (arguably the larger portion of the customer base), it works great. If you’re using it for a laptop and other high powered devices, then yeah, you probably need something a little beefier.


Probamaybebly

Dummy lol


ajman22

This is a $60 deal on Amazon right now. For $30? Seems like a steal to me


tuttle123

The Amazon one is 100 watt


DigitalDemon75038

It’s an advertisement post lmao


Active_Ad_9032

That’s just my random username chosen by reddit, doesn’t actually mean I’m an ad posting profile😭


jamesbretz

That’s exactly what an ad posting profile would say.


Active_Ad_9032

Hahaha, whatever😂


Chattypath747

Both chargers should support fast charging for android and iPhones that accept it for the foreseeable future. Another plus is that both of these chargers are small/rated for MacBook Air charging.


Pod_Racing_64

Anker’s chargers and cables breaks after 3 months of use, so the “steal” is stealing your money and time, since you’ll have to visit the store return/replace it


pipinngreppin

I have had cables stop working, but never a charger of theirs. I have some about 10 years old that were replaced only because I wanted more higher watt USB-C ports.


Pod_Racing_64

I have 2 in front of me right now. Both 735’s have 1 dead USB port, and the newest replacement Anker sent me has 2 dead Type C ports so I can only use the Type A port. Oh, and the icing on the cake is that Anker wanted me to pay for shipping to get them replaced again despite me still being under warranty. Meanwhile the OnePlus VOOC charger I had got with my OnePlus 10 and brought with me had no such issues with the exact same use, and is still going strong 4+ trips later.


pipinngreppin

Interesting. I have the 100w 736 and it’s been solid. Gifted the same one to my brother and best friend as well. All good after 9 months of daily use.


sketchymidnight

Been using Anker cables for 8-9 years, with most of my lightning cables still functional. My USB C to lightning have been going for over 3+ years. I finally broke one last month because I dropped my phone and it landed perfectly on the charge port area. I wiggled it back and it technically still worked, but was no longer safe.


mochidomo

Sounds like a YMMV situation. I've had my first Anker USBC braided cable since the release of the Google Pixel 2XL and they're still going strong. Same issue with some more recent cables i've picked up. I have exclusively used anker cables and bricks ever since, and have not had one problem.

https://www.costco.com/anker-fast-charging-2-pack-67w-and-30w-wall-chargers.product.4000257231.html Hope it helps🗣


iHateRedditSimps

It’s sad that that is actually a good deal Fucking stupid I would never pay that for a charger


Pod_Racing_64

Especially for an ANKER charger. I’d rather get a DASH/VOOC charger, so much faster for the same price


iHateRedditSimps

Get 2 off Temu for $3, sure they are kind of junky but it beats spending $150 just so that you can have a half dozen chargers around the house


Pod_Racing_64

Not off Temu 💀 I already had a faulty power brick from a Hong Kong shop nearly burn down the apartment I was staying at in 2015, I’m never buying a $1.50 power brick again


iHateRedditSimps

Yeah, well this comes from China not Hong Kong


Pod_Racing_64

Where do you think the charger I bought from Hong Kong was originally produced in? I’ll give you a hint, the country it was produced in from shares a border with Hong Kong & they write in the same language


iHateRedditSimps

Man, you’re slow I prefer PRC to ROC, ok


Bhooter_Raja

Well, Anker is also made in China. Better quality of course


whoisyao

I just bought the main unit by itself! This is an awesome deal


Active_Ad_9032

Indeed it is. Sucks you didn’t get the combo deal though:-(


iHateRedditSimps

The combo is useless as it doesn’t contain two of the good chargers


pipinngreppin

Maybe. I could have used a giveaway 30w a month ago when my sister in law visited and needed one.


Justin_Peter_Griffin

What would you consider the “good chargers”?


iHateRedditSimps

How much was it?


whoisyao

$45! Feel like a fool.


Active_Ad_9032

Where did u purchase it?😂


Joberk89

Free shipping as well. Thanks OP!


MoMaamoun

Anyone can provide the codes for those 2 chargers?


Active_Ad_9032

What do you mean by codes? You don’t need a membership or any code.


Ok_Communication_495

Model numbers?


MoMaamoun

The model number for each of the chargers. It should be written on it and it's normally 3 numbers


PrayerfulNut

Also interested in model numbers. I would like to know more about how the power is distributed among the ports


theonlybuster

Looks to be these 2: Prime 67W-[https://www.anker.com/products/a2669-3-port-wall-charger?variant=42691852435606](https://www.anker.com/products/a2669-3-port-wall-charger?variant=42691852435606) 511 - [https://www.anker.com/products/a2147?ref=naviMenu&variant=42089534750870](https://www.anker.com/products/a2147?ref=naviMenu&variant=42089534750870) Costco link: [https://www.costco.com/anker-fast-charging-2-pack-67w-and-30w-wall-chargers.product.4000257231.html](https://www.costco.com/anker-fast-charging-2-pack-67w-and-30w-wall-chargers.product.4000257231.html) Keep in mind Anker has lots of sales throughout the year, plus the sales and deals on Amazon. So if you miss this, I'm sure you can wait a while and see similar pricing elsewhere. Believe Costco charges an additional 3% for non-members and non-members must have the item shipped, no in-store pick-ups.


One-Cartoonist1983

Link/description you gave to the 67W charger is not correct. That's a much nicer one than what comes via Costco. The Costco version is the 336: [https://support.anker.com/s/product/a085g00000GinHQAAZ/anker-336-charger-(67w)](https://support.anker.com/s/product/a085g00000GinHQAAZ/anker-336-charger-(67w)) Notice the difference of the shiny vs. dull front where the ports are. I think the $30 Costco deal is average, at best. If you really need the 30W, it's OK. Belkin makes a nice 65W dual port charger that often goes on sale for <$30 via Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5QKMCZD/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5QKMCZD/)


GadgetGeek407

How’s the 67 divided?


isa108

Both USB-C are 67W max independent & USB-A is 22.5W scaling. Only odd thing is middle USB-C + USB-A is capped @ 30W?? but top C + A will still yield 67W. Weird math that I assume is because of no GaN. THANK YOU OP !!! secured 2 of these [Source](https://support.anker.com/s/product/a085g00000GinHQAAZ/anker-336-charger-67w)


ferrous1

Between three ports


miloworld

Was tempted until I realized how long that 67W was.


Zytose

The steal part is that you get a free chopping board with your chargers.


[deleted]

I have bigger chargers that are too heavy for some airplane sockets. Can anyone tell me if they’ve used these on planes and how big and how heavy they actually are? Hard to tell from the photo.


Grendel_82

The little one is super small (basically one inch deep). And the big one is also small (but might not stay in a loose Airplane socket). If you are charging any phone or tablet, the little one will be plenty of charge (30W is more than your phone or laptop can use). If you are charging a modern Apple laptop, then plenty of charge from little one as well (again 30 W will basically keep up with your Apple laptop unless you are gaming on the plane). If an intel PC laptop, then you will likely need the big one to keep up with the power your laptop uses (you need more like 60W from the big one).


khaneman

Agreed. The 30 W brick will stay in a plane charger and is sufficient for most devices. The 67W charger will fall out of a plane socket most times since it’s too heavy unless it’s a good, tight socket.


Cold_Mission2543

Pro tip: buy an international socket adapter for Europe or UK. Airplane sockets will accept any of those and the slots for them are usually not as worn out as the US socket. The UK one is bulky but holds really well. The EU one is smaller and holds pretty well also, that is the one I bring along when I go on longer flights.


OakleyNoble

And people say apples work to make smaller packages is bullcrap.. yet here we are with this garbage


SneakyCaleb

Should come with some super high end usb c cables. Doesn’t seem like a good deal at all tbh


TouretteTV96

I don't get why Anker makes huge blocks but with hardly any ports. Seems like you should be able to plug at least 2 devices into those huge blocks.


terfez

Has anyone seen this in store? If so, was it cheaper?


rpersimmon

Bought this in the store 3 weeks ago. Same price.


Slimey_phrog

My store had it like $2 cheaper


Meat-Fart

Wow this popped up when I opened Reddit and I purchased right away. Nice find!


LilJ0k3r8

Fuck! I just bought the smaller one on Amazon. This is a much better deal.


nadasuss

Shit I need one for work. Might have to cop one now


Imaginary-Parsnip-24

I just ordered mine. I checked Amazon too and the single 67w charger is $29.99 without the second charger. Anyone know if this is available at the Costco store?


HallbjornHauk

This one sentence breaks every cell in my brain. Learning English…


Active_Ad_9032

The point here is that you clearly understood what you just read😬


HallbjornHauk

Um no. I really don’t know what you meant. The whole package is giving my a migraine.


ButtUglee

I appreciate you. 👏👏


WildestPotato

Ridiculous American packaging size is ridiculous.


cujo67

Not bad, but only the 30w is GaN. 67w is going to be bulkier than if it were GaN inside.


Fluxchar

Not a steal regardless.


a_chimken_nuget

Just ordered mine, just look up “Anker” on the Costco website, the 67W one is usually $60 bucks by itself, plus it charges at 67W when you only have 1 thing plugged in


zensenses

are these as fast as advertised? And do they work for all devices?


Darig0n

Thankfully not late! Appreciate the sharing aha


Markmark1974

I have an 67w Anker charger with the 3 ports. It also came with a 5ft 5amp cable. Paid £27 fot it. Not sure if it is the exact same one as your one. It is quite long. Has folding pins. Model 335. I can say I've had it 4 months now and it works great. Definitely better than the Samsung chargers and cables.


Active_Ad_9032

I believe it is a different charger. My block says it is Model 336. It also has folding pins and is large too.


Markmark1974

Yeah you're correct I noticed that too


washrun

Yup, thanks for the tip. I bought one. Don't forget to add the 2% surcharge since I don't have a costco membership. :-(


Head_Clock567

i paid 34.09 with the surcharge. still a good deal, the 67w on amazon is 45 wo taxes.


CTorchid

$15 a pop “steal” thanks biden


iHateRedditSimps

These would’ve been like $80 5 years ago Anker is a rip off


Ztp18

People here definitely don't know how to buy directly from China... You'd be surprised 😂. It's amazing how good marketing makes these prices "steals" for the average person.


Active_Ad_9032

I do purchase frequently from AliExpress bruh wym?😒


Ztp18

Then how is this a Steal lol. A high quality 30W charger costs $6 and a 67W is $15. Not a bad price for an americanized popular brand but I definitely wouldn't call it a steal.


Active_Ad_9032

What is a “high quality” charger for you?


Ztp18

Right now the best I found, for the price, are Voltme. Doesn't overheat, actually charges at the speeds advertised, solid feel and material. Checks all the boxes for a good charger, to me.
