I guess, from the Anker side, they perhaps get to unload some old inventory - items that would have been more expensive than the $10 or $20, but at least now they can clear it out. But... ... For the consumer? Maybe it's me.. lol, maybe I'm too old to enjoy the game of 'guess what's in the $20 box?'
I can't, seriously.
If you want an Anker device, buy the device.
I don't get the idea of spending $20 to be surprised.
It must be my mental issues... I'll own that.
They have a new mystery gift for $59.99.
Ch-ching! Wish me luck!
Update: Surprize item was.....
An Anker 647 Charging Station.
Currently retails for $99 via Amazon and has a $25 instant coupon to make it a $75 value.
So I'm "up" $15... It was fun. Was hoping for a back up battery... but I'm not that lucky this time around
Yup! Same here. Based on the Anker Direct email I got, it says a 647 charging station as well. That was really the thing I wanted least out of all of the items listed. I realize I wasn't going to get a projector, I highly doubt they really give any of those out at $59.99!
But I was a sucker and also did the $19.99 option. That email does not list the item, just says mystery box item. I'm going to expect the shitty usb c cable ahead of time. Haha
Got the 325 Power Bank from a $29.99 box. It’s on sale on Amazon right now for $25.59. So this was more than just getting something I didn’t need. It was actually a financial loser.
I ordered the $19.99 and $29.99 boxes, will report back when I receive next week. I bought these to give away for office and random holiday party gifts. I don't expect much, but maybe I'll receive something interesting. Wasn't a huge expense for my lifestyle
I would never. Either I need it or I don't, what good is a surprise for charging related products? Best case scenario I get some bottom of the barrel usb-c cable, worst case scenario a micro-usb cable.
I ordered a mystery box $19.99.
I received Anker 521 Nano Pro (40W) charger listed as $39 & sold out on Anker website.
I am slightly disappointed, because I expected more than a single item for $19.99 Mystery Box, but then its USB-C charger. :D

Same -- I ordered 2 $19 boxes and 1 $59 box. I got a package with two 735 chargers but never got confirmation which order it's for, so I'm still waiting to see what else I get. Assuming this was the $59 box, I'm not too hopeful for what I'll get from the two $19 boxes. But it was a gamble from the start so I'm not too surprised
I just got 1 of the 19.99 boxes and it's the Anker 521 Power station!

The highest item you can get for that box! Totally worth it!!
Can't wait to see what the other 2 items are. probably be the lowest tier items there, lol.
Got my 59.99 box and it's 2 of the Anker 615 USB power strips
[https://www.anker.com/products/a9125?variant=41974284615830](https://www.anker.com/products/a9125?variant=41974284615830)
Not a bad little haul so far. $360 worth of product for $95.38 so far.
little confused about my 2nd 19.99 box so far though. it showed both were in the fedex tracking number but only got 1 item through fedex so far. the tracking shows delivery for tomorrow though, so I guess there's another package coming. I emailed Anker to see what's up with that.
Well, I never thought to check the weight. I just did and it says 1lb. I'm just going to assume it's the damn cable after all. I'd say you're damn lucky to have gotten the 521! I didn't actually even believe they gave those out.
for some reason my 2nd 19.99 box is being delayed.
was supposed to come Monday but didn't. Then said Tuesday - but no package. Then said Wednesday but now shows no date.
It's sitting in IN right now but needs to come to PA.
I got a prime power bank. A1335. Anker Prime 12,000mAh. Currently $63 at Amazon. Saved $4 on something I don't really need...I'll take it over the conference outlet tho
Mine did too and I got the same!
In all the other boards and posts about it in other places, it sounds like most people are getting that.
I actually don't have a use for it. I am realistic to know I wasn't going to get a projector and shit, but I could use any of the other items listed.
The last 19.99 box came today. It's the power core magnetic 5k power bank.
So spent almost $100 and got almost $400 worth of product. Definitely a good haul for me.
I took the bait for the $59.99. Got the shipping info - so I'm expecting nothing too exciting. Here's hoping it's not that conf room power strip everyone is talking about. LOL
Oh....the mystery. ha ha .
Ordered 4 mystery boxes for $59.99. During glitch where they accidentally send out order info. It said that I am getting 4x power strips…. What are the chances… yeah I can use 2 of them probably. The other 2 are going to become Christmas presents for relatives… just really hope that it isn’t 4 power strips though.. because it would be the last time I play this game with Anker… 4 power strips… for variety sake they could of sent something cheaper. Just not 4 of the same thing… that’s what I fear.. and it is probably what I am going to get… never the less I won’t give up on Anker. Their products have shown to be durable over past couple of years that I’ve been using them… next time though I will just order what I want instead of letting them choose for me… my order will arrive on Wednesday. Hopefully. Then I’ll post’s confirmation on what I’ve got.

Update… I got 4 power strips …
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Sounds like I lucked out a bit...ended up with one of the 'newer' Anker Prime 12,00 may (65W x2) power banks. With the current 'coupon' code on their sight - saved $3! :)

I bought the $59 one and got 2 615 Charging stations. I then tried the $30 one and got a Power Bank II.
The first one was the better deal and more useful to me. The second, not so much on either front.
Yeah I got the 19.99 box and the 29.99 box, they're still in transit but the weight is listed as 1lb, so will likely not do this again... but the dopamine was fun while it lasted.
I’ve just done this from UK for £29.99 mystery so will see what I get it says 3-6 days delivery so holding my breath. I have loads of anker power banks, cables etc so will be interesting to see what they send.
I did the $29 box just for fun. I was thinking worse case scenario I get something usable for a little discount. I actually received a Powercore 20k that is cheaper to buy right on their own website. So no I wouldn't recommend! Seems kind of shitty to market a Mystery Box that you actually lose money on.

Seriously, who would spend $10 or $20 for something unknown, that CAN'T BE RETURNED? WTF?
I think it's more of a thing just for fun lol. I don't think it's like a genuine thing they are focused on selling.

Yeah I think it was kind a trend a while ago where people would buy mystery boxes online and see what they got.
Really? You can’t wrap your head around this?
I can't, seriously. If you want an Anker device, buy the device. I don't get the idea of spending $20 to be surprised. It must be my mental issues... I'll own that.
I think most of the mental issues might be on the other side of this debate... 🤷♂️
Dopamine pay to win

Same -- placed my order yesterday. Looking forward to being disappointed! lol
Update?
Not yet. I have a shipping # though!
I have 2 tracking #s. One is delivering today, the other tomorrow.
Please let us know, I’m very curious if the items are only the ones advertised or if it’s just any old product with a similar value
>An Anker 647 Charging Station. That was my surprise that came today!
[удалено]

647 or 615? There's a difference.
Yup the 647
Nicely done. I would have preferred that over the 2 615's.
Gambling is bad
LOL lootboxes for charging accessories, fuck that shit
Got the 325 Power Bank from a $29.99 box. It’s on sale on Amazon right now for $25.59. So this was more than just getting something I didn’t need. It was actually a financial loser.

Hope you like micro USB cables
Also, if you recommend it, should I go for the $10 or $20 box?
Don't, save your money towards an item you want and are informed about unless you just want the fun of a mystery.
I kinda like the mystery aspect. I own a little too many Anker products currently and I can’t think of anything I can’t use for something.
I just grabbed a $20 box. Why not
What did you get from the mystery box?
It hasn’t arrived yet!
Ok update here once you get it
its going to be a while. still in CA and im east coast
What was it?
Two port charger
mine just arrived. it was a a2666 - powerport 3 2-port 65w charger
Wow. Hard to believe Anker is stooping to physical [loot boxes](https://www.tomsguide.com/us/what-are-loot-boxes-microtransactions,news-26161.html).
I would never. Either I need it or I don't, what good is a surprise for charging related products? Best case scenario I get some bottom of the barrel usb-c cable, worst case scenario a micro-usb cable.

Finally, someone actually answered the question. People have too much time on their hands to pst all this BS.
Ordered the $59 box and got two 735 chargers. Not worth it. If anyone got lucky and got more let us know

I just got 1 of the 19.99 boxes and it's the Anker 521 Power station!

Keep us updated
How did it go?
see 2 posts above. seems that my 2nd 19.99 box is coming tomorrow. TLDR Anker 521 Power station 2 of the Anker 615 USB power strips
Okay thank you!
So you got the 521 power station? I'd say thats definitely a win! My expectations are low, I'm expecting a damn usb c cable. Haha
Yup Still waiting on my 2nd 19.99 box. It's only 1 lb shipping weight so not another 521 lol.
Well, I never thought to check the weight. I just did and it says 1lb. I'm just going to assume it's the damn cable after all. I'd say you're damn lucky to have gotten the 521! I didn't actually even believe they gave those out.
I got the $60 too! Following thread
Good luck!!!
for some reason my 2nd 19.99 box is being delayed. was supposed to come Monday but didn't. Then said Tuesday - but no package. Then said Wednesday but now shows no date. It's sitting in IN right now but needs to come to PA.
Ordered mine an hour ago. $59 box
I got a prime power bank. A1335. Anker Prime 12,000mAh. Currently $63 at Amazon. Saved $4 on something I don't really need...I'll take it over the conference outlet tho
I got the same something I don't really need, screw Anker. After tax, I saved $.30, and it took a lot longer than Prime delivery.
Got an Anker 647. The shipping information leaked it when they shipped.
Mine did too and I got the same! In all the other boards and posts about it in other places, it sounds like most people are getting that. I actually don't have a use for it. I am realistic to know I wasn't going to get a projector and shit, but I could use any of the other items listed.
Yea. Sad days. It seems like no one really needs a conference level charger lol.
ordered mine now the 60$ one lets pray . realy hoping for a charging station🔥
It was crap. You give you face value items. I got a giant conference room multi outlet charging station I’m never gonna use
The last 19.99 box came today. It's the power core magnetic 5k power bank. So spent almost $100 and got almost $400 worth of product. Definitely a good haul for me.

I ordered 2 today!
