Vivocity no stock. Ahhhhhhhhhh


Guys! Next time indicate the date and time hat you spotted these cables

The vivacity staff told me that it has been out of stock since SATURDAY...... Even though someone just posted at 10am+ today indicating there is stock at vivocity

Okay, I'm at daiso IMM. Time now 1850hrs

Have stock for both types.

1. The 60cm type. Found between entrance and exit in the picture posted and at the counter when you queue for payment
2. The 70cm retractable ones. At the counter where you queue for payment.


I took 5 each first. Dunno if considered mad or modest.

Odd.... the HMZ app cannot post.....

My repost




Off topic here

Which SKU did you get. DX has several versions of the cable.

The ones I got have about the same length orslightly longer by 5mm to 1cm


The USB A plugs are the same size, except DX ones are not as white and the printing is darker and in bold. The connector side for the DX ones I have is slightly thicker and has a tighter fit on the frsit few inserts. They work..... no DOA for the ones I ordered......

Back to topic.


After my dinner at IMM, I went back to Daiso to check on the stock level of both the retractable 70cm long ones[ I estimate about 50++pcs left?] and the non-retractable 60sm type[quite a lot left, the "3 layer box" shown a few post earlier is still 70% full EACH, plus the ones at the counters when you queue to payup and a few shelves a way on the wall is one row of them]

I regret not getting all 10 in the retractable types as they are 10cm longer and neater looking when kept. The non-retractable ones are 60cm only and looked a little unsightly when kept[I don't keep the twist-tie thingy]

oh yes.... I bought 10 cables, 3 non-retractable for my office and 7 for myself, 2 at the computer, 2 in my room and 3 on standby...... not alot right? Cos I didn't bring enought cash just now and I took the wrong ATM card with me.... Took the no $$ in the bank card :s31::s31:

hmm... the ones i got are also slightly thicker at connector side which is plastic. I guess this will not work for some cases thus im asking to see if anyone got OEMs with a same size as the Apple's original.

Back to topic:
for the Daiso's cable, is the speed really much faster?
I'm using the OEMs and original cable. so far Im not complaining as both speed seems similiar.
