Probably only worth it for prime members (no idea what postage costs) but this seems a cheap price for a quality 2 port car charger.

Complete bullplop RRP of £29.99 - It's been £7.99 according to CCC but can't see it ever at £29.99 - Amazon are such tricksters when it comes to these fabricated 'was' prices, about time trading standards fined them.
Anyway, £2.99 is still pretty cheap so have some heat.

I didn't know that, thanks. I don't think Amazon should be putting down RRP's when they're so over inflated but hey ho and I guess DFS would go out of business without RRP's :smile:

1. In 1998 the UK prohibited the placing of RRP on electrical goods, this restriction was lifted by the Competition Commission in February 2012
2. All Anker products are sold by Anker via Amazon (it's fufilled by Amazon not sold by)
therefore all pricing should be aimed at Anker
but they are based in USA so good luck with that
They are deceptive , I agree with that point as they haven't sold certain products at the given RRP for at least a year but it's Anker's fault not Amazon in this instance as Amazon don't sell Anker directly

Whenever I see a silly RRP I immediately think Sports Direct, all that really matters is the cost of the product now versus its use. Amazon use the RRP to validate their discounts, but it is rarely what the items normally sell for and in many cases is a price they have never sold for on amazon themselves.

RRP was made illegal on electrical goods like TV and video equipment many years ago after the monopoly and mergers commission decided TV manufacturers were all complicit in fixing prices. I don't k ow if that extended to phone products but doubt it as it was years before mobiles existed.
i doubt Anker give this an RRP but if they do them they're as dishonest as Amazon who often come up with total dishonest RRPs

I think you are confusing what RRP means
Amazon don't ever have to sell at the RRP or state they do
The manufacturer sets the RRP
A non issue in so far as trading standards are concerned

You gotta love Prime! And this is speaking as someone who resisted for years. It makes purchases like this so much more painless. Great price (only with Prime, obviously), heat added.
Seems like a decent saving (for Prime customers) compared to elsewhere and you get that legendary CS. Plus if you aren't in a rush have it sent standard delivery and get a £1 credit on your account!
What with this 'zolo' just anker operating another brand ?

Good price for this and am ordering one, though it's odd there's only one review (from 9months ago at that) and even that one is from someone who got it free!
Wanted one to charge my GoPro with rather than paying £23 for their official car 12v charger
