Here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/pag...8B37E59982

Apparently worth about $1B sales.

Update:

Also includes m-p-o-w along with Aukey. (Strangely, typing that brand's name gets 'url has been blocked' thingy by SD. Did we already know?)
I own stuff from both brands and have felt that none of them have lived up to the hype. Now I get it though. Sigh!

This business practice runs rampant on Amazon with several brands like Anker, Aukey etc.

First, I see I forgot to search for this tread when I posted similar information, but the mods figured it out. (TY mods)


That is why I specifically mentioned theSunvalley Group products [wikipedia.org] in that post as not being removed. While I can't tell you that the company itself is involved with solicited reviews, I've been approached by people from some of their brands offering free 'protect testing' on the down low. That is, one's purchase price is refunded upon a 'successful' review.


Moral issues aside, I can't say I've 100% turned this down, but I frankly don't think it's often worth the chance of losing my 22 year-old Amazon account. (and all the related content.)

Bought Aukey products (cables only, like hell would I buy power adapters from them) and I've had little problem. About a year after one of the USB-C to USB-C cables frayed (due to the way I plugged it in) I messaged them and they replaced it with a brand new one, for free, without even sending the old one in. They shouldn't have done influencer spam though, and will probably rebrand under some no-name to escape Amazon's ban. Can't have all their suppliers out of pocket.
