I tried to research the quality of this particular charger but I can’t find it anywhere. Even the HISY site has no record of it. O.o

Found it – or what I am assuming is it. https://www.hisypix.com/product/portable-power-bank-battery-by-hisy/

Same here. All they have on their site are the ‘stack’ ones.

I recently canceled by FFF but I love autumn so I might pick this box up. It all depends on what’s in it. I got the summer box because of the rose gold necklace so maybe once people get theirs, I’ll see something to make me order one.
ReplyJillian
Because I know people have had cancellation issues in the past.
I saw this spoiler and attempted to cancel. I went through two screens on the website and the third screen wouldn’t load even though I was using chrome, which according to them is supposed to work. So, I sent them an e-mail requesting a cancel. This was yesterday at 5pm. Today, I was officially cancelled, but noticed that I had been charged for the box anyway. They tell me that this charge will “fall off” within 3-5 business days. They claim they issued me a refund in error and then issued the charge to negate it, but my bank account only shows the charge. I’m currently trying to confirm that the charge will be erased. Ugh. :-/ I generally really like FFF boxes, but this is really annoying.
ReplyFlubs
I had this problem too. I completed the process twice but received an error message on the final page. I immediately emailed them. They replied back in a few minutes stating their records said my account was cancelled. I haven’t seen any charge on my card yet so we’ll see what happens. I cancelled prior to the deadline, fyi.
ReplyValerie
I’ve had an almost similar thing happen to me with another box before. Then after talking to them, they thought they cancelled (I even received an e-mail saying they cancelled). I called and e-mailed as I was charged again (so double). They tried to cancel again and it worked. It did take a day or two to show up on my card statement (that they were taking the money back off the card) but it showed up on my card as a payment until that happened – which was about 5 days later. So, sometimes the card companies/banks are a bit slower getting the information to show up on the user side.

Went ahead and subscribed. Used a code for the free fruit infuser water bottle, instead of 10 off. Hopefully that was a good deal/worth it. Hopefully there are spoilers for Bianca soon, this one ships first but don’t know if I’d be able to afford both of them. =( I’ve wanted to try a FFF box for years though. lol
ReplyTamara
I LOVE this spoiler! It’s useful – and I just love techie gadgets. 😀
I did recently buy a bigger one, after I saw the charger in the PSMH QVC box. But this one looks like it will be lighter to carry on my purse every day.
Excited!! 😀

I completely forgot that I saved a coupon for $25 off my first box for the fall for fabfitfun so I can get this for half off! Probably a good idea too since we had storms that knocked the power out here for a week before and I ended up charging my phone at the grocery store.
ReplyBritt
How’d you get that coupon?
ReplyAnn
It was in a magazine a couple months back (not sure which one but I get Shape, Fitness, Glamour, All You and Kiplinger). I’m always behind in reading them so it’s lucky that I got to it before it expired. It expires on September 1 so maybe they will have a new one out soon.
Jenn
So this one comes with an android compatible cord because that is how you charge it. It charges via mini USB then you can turn that cord around and plug the USB side into the charger to charge another mini USB device.
ReplyMona
This isn’t the best one out there, but it looks decent and is definitely handy. I’m amused that it comes with an android cord but is pictures with an iPhone… Silly! Fortunately I have spare lightning cords and my hubs is an android guy so he will be happy to have an extra cord (or I’ll save it for my Kindle, since it uses micro-usb too). Not exciting, as some have said, but certainly useful as we enter hurricane season on the coast!
ReplyPoppy
I love that FFF is bringing unique items that we haven’t seen in sub boxes before! They always have something new that makes the box stand out from others — the apron, the speakers, the turban — among others, and the value of the box is usually 4-5 times the cost.
I’ll use this for sure, and for those who may not, it would make a great stocking stuffer!
ReplyBonny
I read on a FB post that this box will be worth over 400.00. I commented on the post, asking FFF when billing and shipping occur, and they answered. I went back to see the original post and couldn’t find it. But..it did say the fall box is worth over 400.00
ReplyHL
That was a typo was in an image. The website was saying $200 at the same time.
mimi
Agree with most of the above — useful, but not terribly exciting.
ReplyValerie
I’ve wanted to try out FFF since the first box I saw reviewed. This alone, isn’t enough for me to purchase though (even with the $10 discount). Hopefully there will be another spoiler (or 2) before it ships so I can make up my mind (and hopefully the discount is still there lol).
ReplyJenna
There always seems to be at least 2 more spoilers before it comes out.
ReplyValerie
Thanks, Jenna! I’ll wait patiently for the others (if they happen). Do you have to order by time it charges or can you order after that time as well?

Not enticing to me in the least. I don’t have a smartphone and I get offers to review like 7 free powerbanks daily on Amazon anyway (I don’t take any of them). Same with the bluetooth speaker from last time. All sorts of electronics accessories are super cheap from China. Someone probably got a deal at Alibaba and is reselling it to the FFF folks.
ReplyLokelani
You don’t even need a smartphone for the powerbanks, you just need a phone charger that can plug into a usb port, and in this case just a phone that has a micro-usb jack, which most non-iphones have since it’s pretty standard now. i recommend them, they are good in case of emergencies, like extended power outages.
ReplyRagan
My phone is so old and cruddy it doesn’t have any cords that will work with USB. I also don’t have a tablet. (I do have a landline and an old corded phone so if the power goes out, that will still work…)
This can totally be useful for some people, I’m just not one of them. Also I question the value. If you’re willing to wait a bit for shipping, you can find something similar on AliExpress for much less.

Ragan, how do you sign up to be a part of the amazon review group? Is it called Vine? I’ve always been curious.
ReplyRagan
I’m not in Vine, that’s invitation only.
All you have to do is post reviews on Amazon. If you are into subscription boxes, you probably already have a lot of things around the house you can review. Write good, thoughtful, detailed reviews (good does not always mean positive — if some mascara makes your eyes burn, it does not deserve a high star rating…).
The only requirement for posting a review is that you have an account with which you have made at least one purchase.
Anyway, if your reviews actually are helpful to people, you will get votes on them and your reviewer rank will start to increase. Be sure to put an email address in your profile. It may take a few months or a year, but you will start to get offers from outside vendors to review things.
The only warnings are:
(1) If you get something for free or a reduced cost for review (including a coupon code), you have to say so. (Like how Liz indicates if a box was sent by a company for review.)
(2) There are some clubs that give Amazon coupon codes. A lot of them show up on Facebook. Don’t join those. A lot of people have had their reviewing privileges revoked for being part of those clubs. Only accept coupon codes directly from vendors.

When does the box ship?
ReplyBonny
Bills on 9/15 and ships the following week. That is the response that i received.
ReplyVeronica
Sweet! I have thought of buying one of those type products but just haven’t. I’ll be pleased to get one in the Fall box.
ReplyShell
That’s a nice item. Useful but as someone else stated not that exciting. We subscription queens like excititent in our boxes LOL
ReplyRandi
I hadn’t even considered getting this box until this box until this spoiler. With the coupon it’d only be $40 right?
I need one of these… does anyone have this particular one and know if it works good?
Replysher_w
Aargh. I just bought one.
ReplyK.
Not terribly exciting, but it’s useful. It’s not enough to make me want to buy the box, but I’ll try to swap for these for sure.
ReplyHL
I have been stalking for spoilers and this makes me happy. It is one of those things that I always mean to buy and just haven’t yet.
ReplyBonny
I love it. It says ” compatible with android phone.” I have a Galaxy 5, I hope it is compatible. I have been wanting one of these.
ReplyAnn
Seems like it could be compatible with anything since it has a USB plug in. You just might have to use your own cord if they don’t provide one.
ReplyVeronica
It looks like it comes with the connector for an Android, which for once is refreshing since almost everything is geared towards Apple products.
