Our friends at Thrifter are back again, this time to aid in making the USB-C transition a bit more affordable.
USB-C has been slowly taking over, and recently we've seen more and more electronics include it as the standard charging method. While USB-C has plenty of advantages, this change means that all of your old cables will no longer help you charge, and now you'll need a bunch of new ones. Right now, Aukey is offering some pretty nice discounts on its 3 and 5-packs of USB-C cables, which helps make the transition a bit more affordable.
You can grab a basic 3-pack for as little as $8.80, or opt for the braided ones which are perfect for those who are a bit harsher on their cables) for just $11.89. You'll need to use a coupon code during checkout at Amazon to get these prices, so be sure to use the matching coupon code below for the listing you select.

Aukey is offering 3-packs of its USB-C cables for as little as $9, 5-packs for $14
Coupon codes are all expired.
The problem with a lot of these cables are they are just too short to be able to use your phone while plugged in. There are other options and deals available on Amazon for longer cables.
I wish Big Lots would start carrying them.
I bought a 2 pack of 6ft Anker cables for $9. They're great and long enough to use while charging.
I like the page but I do not need to purchase anything at this time.
Do not buy these Aukey cables. These cables are responsible for killing two Pixels I had to warranty. They have no pull up resistor. They overheat and melt. They overheat the phone and cause the charging port to fail
Hmm no problem for me on an HTC 10 or my kids Axon 7s. Maybe a bad batch?
There are multiple reports on Amazon reviews of damaged phones or melted cables. Of course it might not necessarily be the cable's fault. But regardless you should read the reviews and make your own judgement
Are they "Benson Approved"???? And let's just hope they're better quality than they Aukey Micro USB multi pack cables that I got which were complete garbage. All the connectors were either lose or broke within a couple of months. You'd have to pay me to accept Aukey cables and even then I'd put them straight in the dumpster. Just buy Anker and be done with it.
