I have bought from eBay and always unsure if genuine same here but at least 7dayshop is a reliable EU retailer so hoping they truly are genuine!

Arrived earlier, I only have a new original power supply to compare it to. It certainly looks original.

Thanks for posting - it will be an original Apple charger, simply because 7dayshop don't supply fakes. The damage to their good name would be too great.
The naysayers here will never accept that, though - it would hurt their pride too much. :wink:

you'll find the same sort of reviews for most of the fake chargers as they do look identical to the originals..so most people believe them to be genuine. There are multiple reviews for that product on their site which say its a fake (but not in so many words) - they have still given it 4 or 5 * mind so not so easy to spot.
You see exactly the same on their other Apple chargers/earpods etc - lots of comments about them not being the same as the original Apple ones. As they work for most people though (and from looks alone you can't tell) they mostly get 5* reviews. There are plenty of telling ones where people compare with their original product and point out the differences.
Each to their own, no skin off my nose really we can agree to disagree :smiley: I just personally cannot get over why someone would buy a £500+ device and then take a risk with a dirt cheap charger/cable that could damage it and will invalidate it's warranty.

So what actual evidence do you have, seeing as you're 100% convinced these are genuine?
Newbold
27 Dec 16#41
If you've managed to convince yourselves that these are fake, despite the lack of any real evidence, nothing's ever going to convince you otherwise. Not the description "Genuine Apple product" obviously. Nor the fact that 7dayshop's been trading successfully for 16 years. Nor the 30 day moneyback guarantee. Nor the 84 reviews for this product, only one of which suggests it's a fake - with many of the rest making specific reference to it's being a genuine Apple product.
You're simply wrong, I'm afraid, and you won't accept even the feedback on this thread once those who managed to order one feed back to confirm they're genuine. Your loss, I'm afraid. If this were Amazon Marketplace or eBay, I'd agree with you - but 7dayshop is a reputable company, despite what you choose to think. These are simply excess stock.

To a degree it depends on what you call a "fake". These chargers will not be the same as the ones Apple sell (or sold) - but they will be genuine chargers that will charge apple devices, and will look very, very similar. Genuine as in they are exactly what the manufacturer says they are, not that they are the same that Apple sell :smiley: Their wording is very clever and they don't at any point state that these are actually apple endorsed chargers. As others have said, it can be very hard to tell the difference even when you have the product, unless you take them apart (or you can also weigh them as the non-apple supplied ones typically weight a lot less). They may work fine - but a lot of these fake chargers have blown up in the past few years (relative to the apple sold ones - probably still talking hundreds rather than thousands) and I personally wouldn't take the risk to save £10.
I've nothing against 7dayshop, you just have to be aware of what you are buying. Good retailer and good support (compared to most of the china outlets!) but they do have a reputation for selling the same tat as everyone else alongside some of the real products.

Read other threads that have been posted for 7dayshop apple products. Many other people's experience's suggest otherwise. Google also suggests otherwise and some reviews on 7dayshop itself that have leaked through even say they are not genuine. I'd err caution on anything that isn't packaged, especially when they say that's for added convenience!

The (newer) Apple ones are 12W. Used to be £15 (which was a reasonable price), post Brexit £19. If you need this for an iPad, recommend sticking with the Apple Charger (from Apple.com/Apple Store).
Lots of fakes about, very difficult to tell unless you pull it apart and see the state of the internals. Some have been shown to have dangerously narrow tracks between the 240V AC and the 5V rails. Not worth playing with fire (literally), for £10-15.

Most of that makes perfect sense. You're missing one key point though: 7dayshop does not sell fakes and there's no evidence to suggest they ever have done. They do however sell smallish quantities of surplus stocks and that's what they were selling here. And that's why they sold out of these so quickly.
You can of course simply use a standard USB charger which will work just as well.

Re. The packaging - I recently bought an iPhone charger from Amazon (dispatched and sold by Amazon) and it was packed in a plastic bag, no packaging. I read the fake guides and none of the telltale signs match up.

These will be 100% fake - 7Dayshop may well be classed as an EU. Retailer but in reality no more so than gearbeasts eu warehouse or similar. They are well known for fakes across the board on a variety of products. This really is a too good to be true moment. Lucky they are out of stock :smiley:

Garbage. 7dayshop has an excellent reputation and is about as likely to sell fakes as Amazon itself.

Exactly, read other HUKD posts on 7dayshop apple products, they're fake. It's been proved time after time.
Why would a genuine product not have genuine packaging?

Fine - and a good price if you actually need an Apple charger. But a standard USB charger (which most people have plenty of) will do the job just as well.

It very hard to tell. Only you can judge the retailer claims but they have been an EU retailer for many years and have a return policy.
Worth a punt at this price.
