great price
update the last time i made a keen observation about the posted Specs the seller chimed to clear things up
the Specs are not correct i do not thinks its 5.4 in x 5.4 x 1.4 inplease read this POST for possible info on this item
even Apples 87w adapter is only 3.15 x 3.15 x 1.1 in

if you want a cheap SMALLER one look at the item reviewed in this post from AMAZON that is $20 and 3.15 x 3.15 x 1.18 in BUT I THING THEY ARE THE SAME

but imo both above are unknown
i would at least consider the 90w Ravpower 2 Port that is only 2. 5 x 2. 5 x 1. 2in but cost lot more
or the Aukey 100w 1 port 2.24 x 2.24 x 1.26 in
in the past i picked up the Ravpower 90w Renewed 2 port for $22.25 must resist this deal with only 1 port and for the size
I grabbed one of these a while back and it works well, BUT it makes those high pitched screeching and squeaking noises. It also caused my 2020 MacBook Air to make those noises when plugged in. I've not had that problem with the Apple charger or an Anker powerport atom iii. I have and will continue to buy from monoprice as I love most of their stuff—just this one wasn't my favorite product of theirs.
Qualified for AMEX local business credit of $5 too.
Thanks OP

Sounds like a bad capacitor, which on a new product would be a manufacturing defect.

No confirmation email from AMEX. Paid directly on the credit card and am in CA also. I've gotten the notification instantly when I did the Starbucks gift cards through Samsung Pay, so I know it should work. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Same situation here. I think that they do not charge the CC until the product is shipped. Let's wait and see

This looks like false advertising.

https://www.usb.org/products

Monoprice Obsidian Speed 85W is not certified. They have some kind of 30/32/32/39/60 watt certified charger. I'm sure if these chargers are designed and manufactured by the Chinese OEM that does all their USB-IF chargers, they *should* be fine, but they aren't certified yet.

edit:

Here is a review of the product: https://www.amazon.com/gp/custome...dctrvw_srp

Based on the OEM part number posted on Monoprice, it is ARTODM85, which Fantany brand also resales on Amazon, claims has a TID 1020059 (cannot be found in USB site).

I'm looking at local business on American Express website and this store isn't listed. I searched by name and address.

That baffles me as well. In fact, no mention of paypal in the pending charge description at all.
My guess is that Amex has already learned to extract merchant info from paypal charge.
Thanks for the information. Would it be safer to pay with Amex directly at Monoprice then?
I mean if we wanted to get the small business credit, would there be higher chances if we use the AMEX card directly at the merchant vs Amex ->Paypal -> Merchant.

maybe yours has a defect?
Possibly. I work IT at a place that uses Dell's Latitude laptops. I hear the same noises from the Dell's pretty regularly—just wasn't used to hearing that from an Apple device. Don't get me wrong it's not loud, but in a quite room it's noticeable and, for me, really annoying.

May be it is a local business for those living in Rancho Cucomongo, CA

Thanks for the comment, saving $50 isn't worth risking my $1000+ laptop

What is your state? It seems Amex small merchant credit is NOT being triggered for most people.
