HDMI 2M (6 Feet) Super High Resolution Cable for 30¢

[BPB]

Here it be. I don't know the maker, but how can you go wrong? I ordered 5. I got free shipping as I have Amazon Prime, though I will be cancelling it. It was worth the free trial, gots lots of stuff shipped 2-day for free.

EDIT: Whereas my cart originally said $0.00 for 2-day shipping, I refreshed and it now says a lot more (we have a crappy connection at work and I posted this while I was waiting to purchase the stuff). It appears these guys are about $5 a pop to ship. I apologize for any confusion. I'm still getting 5, but the deal isn't what I had hoped.

I don't think you can use free shipping on that order as it is from a 3rd party seller. Unless that's something you can get with Amazon Prime (because w/o it, it doesn't say it qualifies for free shipping).

OP: Not to nitpick but your title says ($.030), which is THREE cents, not 30.

 

[street carp]

$5 shipping each if you have to pay for it

Done. And I updated the shipping cost.

$4.98 per ITEM shipping. That killed the deal for me.

I've been checking around, and I still can't find what appear to be decent 6ft HDMI cables for $5.28. Most places charge around $5 for the shipping, and at least $7 for the cables. If you find a better deal, please post it so I can cancel mine.

No need to cancel your post. It's still a good deal.

 

[knightc2]

Yeah, it is a good deal. You can get a HDMI cable from Monoprice.com or similar places for around $5.00 - $6.00 but shipping makes it more. $5.28 out the door for this cable is a good deal.

 

[openwheelformula1]

Frys has better hdmi cable for $5.

Monoprice has even better hdmi cable for few bucks more (I can pickup locally) but most of you have to pay shipping.

 

[Onund]

when clicking on one of the images to try and see the gauge of the wire I found this by accident for $0.28

cheaper yet

Shipping appears cheaper also, $3.99 per item, $0.99 per shipment. Well, cheaper for multi cables.

btw, I'd be all over this if they were "Super High Resolution Cable Turbo"

I cant personally vouch for these cables in this deal, but I purchased the monoprice.com 2x 2M HDMI cables deal that was not too long ago and they look to be good quality. (Wish I would have waited a day and got the 3x deal) I've got my 32" Olevia connected to my Dishnetwork HD box via it and it looks and sounds great.

Keep your order. It is a good deal. I just have a personal issue with paying 500% on shipping and it is per item: not by weight or size. That just rubs me the wrong way.

So it costs $5 to stick one in a box and add a shipping label. It should take about 50 cents more to ship 5 of them. Trying to charge someone $25 shipping on 1.50 purchase is robbery.

I wrote a shopping card for our office. (We sell a book) On average, our shipping costs are about $7.50-8.00 a book. We charge $10 shipping and handling (we frequently have to take them to the PO ourselves because the mailman forgets to come back for them). Additional books add all of $2.50 to the shipping charge because it adds 2.5 pounds of weight. We could have charge a full 10 each per book, but we didn't want to come off as ripping people off.

If hey charged $4 per cable with .95 shipping per cable, i wouldn't have a problem. But .30 and 5.00 shipping, come on. That's a 1,667% markup for shipping. I'd rather pay monoprice $7 per cable and a reasonable shipping charge.

I put 5 cables of the .30 ones and 5 of the other one mentioned in my shopping cart. Total charge for merchandise was minimal. Shipping was nearly $53 dollars. I just bought 10 case fans from newegg form 12.99 SHIPPED. Those suckers cost more to ship than 10 of these cables, or at least the same amount, yet newegg tosses in free and they want in excess of $50?

 

[bluesubaru]

but how can you go wrong?

No HDMI spec is listed for either of these cables.

 

[livingsacrifice]

Yeah thats a really good deal on HDMI cables. I wouldn't pay that much for shipping though. I buy most of my cables from cablestogo or monoprice and they are decently priced for shipping too.

 

[jackschmittusa]

I hate companies that that look at their shipping departments as a profit center.

This company should offer "free cables for life, just pay shipping and handling".

And "Super High Resolution Cable"? As opposed to someone else's low res HDMI cable?

Yes, paying (the hypothetical) $4.95 is better than $5.29, but not for the reason you are stating but for the reason of saving the 34 cents.

So, you will rather pay close to $10 instead of just over $5 because you want to get ripped off on the cable and not on the shipping?

All this talk about crazy shipping markup is pointless. I am guessing their cost per cable is more than 30 cents (not including the office expenses, just the cable itself from the cable's Chinese/Mexican/whatever manufacturer). So, it is OK for them to give the cable away but not OK to recoup their costs elsewhere?

(30 cents is prety much a giveaway. In my neighborhood there is hardly a single "dollar-store" left. They charge $1.19 and up for their items.)

OP, this is an excellent deal.

Double-posted my own reply while editing

For me, the problem with moving all the charges to shipping is that if I have to return the item for some reason, I will get squat back, because usually the shipping charges are non-refundable. And I'm sure this is their motivation as well - no returns! As good a deal as this may be, I would rather buy something where the charge for the item was reasonable, with free shipping (preferably).

 

[cboath]

I know it doesn't make sense to everyone, but yeah, i'd rather pay someone 7 per than get blatantly gouged on shipping. It's not quite a bait and switch, but close. It might be different if they were up front about it, but you don't find out it's $5 shipping each until you've 1. Added them to you cart, 2. logged in to your account, 3. chosen a shipping address, 4. chosen a payment method, and then 5. On the final 'are you sure screen' it shows 1.50 in product (for 5 cables) and $25 shipping. It's gimmickry on the part of the seller and it really bothers me. I'd rather deal with someone who is upfront with me.

If the part is normally $20 and they're selling it for 30 cents, it tells me 1 of 2 things. Either they're discontinuing it or they're not selling for squat. I'd have bought them at 4.50 each with .50 shipping per item, no problem. It's the blatant gimmickry that really gets under my skin.

 

[kalipoo2000]

thanks

 

[rwliu2003]

There are definitely differences between HDMI cables. I order 2 from monoprice a while back and found that they do not work as well as the ones I got from firefold. So you may want to watch out.

or you can find the shipping policy by scrolling down a little on the amazon site and click the 'View shipping rates and policies' link.
