And I think anker sells mostly online on Amazon. I don't remember ever seeing an anker product on physical retail stores. Not that it doesn't exist, but it isn't common.

I bought a Anker charger at Walmart, so they’ve hit the mainstream

Yeah they’ve been pretty mainstream for a while now. I kinda miss when they were up and coming. Bought a lot of bricks and banks for great prices. I’ve still got a powercore 3k that’s flawless, think I paid $12 for. I still use it with my quest 2.

Their banks are real good, but a lot of the bricks now are real expensive, to the point where an Apple USB-C equivalent charger, or cables, are cheaper than anker

OK, I guess that means that Anker is legally entitled to murder their other customers and burn their houses down

I know it's different for everyone, but that's not usually something I'd be particularly careful about receipts beyond the first month or so ; when they usually live in a pile on the kitchen table (single guy).
