Seriously? The ones I posted were just examples, there are plenty of others to choose from. The second one is in fact a very similar size, did you even bother looking?

Sorry. Did you have something to contribute? I want a ugreen nexo pro. Not some other knock off.

The one Raymond linked to is good, but it's actually bigger, and heavier, than the Ugreen one

Just thinking outside the box here, but could you not just buy what you want in the UK plus a 3 quid travel adapter ?

Disclaimer: last time I was out of the UK was in 2008 (Military) and 2004 on holiday with the then-wench. Things might have changed a little since then.

I think he is trying to shave a few square inches in volume.

Personally this is what I would get.

MOMAX Universal Power Adapter, 100W Fast GaN International Travel Adapter, 2PD USB-C+2QC USB-A Travel Plug Adapter, US/UK/EU/AU Universal Charger Adapter for Laptops, Tablets, Phones 1-World

That's too heavy Raymond. 250g or under is preferred. Very good device though.

I was trying to help you out by offering up something that you could purchase from this country. I clearly shouldn't have bothered given your attitude.

Which didn't meet or exceed my requirement. I've already done the research. Otherwise, you can expect a "spec me" thread

Possibly. The thing is, when I'm near a wall socket, time is limited so whatever it's going to do, it needs to do it rapidly.

Raymond Lin · 5 Jan 2024 at 22:55

What’s the weigh for the UGreen? Can’t see it on the page.

Then the 140w one would be the best option?

You can probably also just buy it from Amazon.fr rather than Amazon.de - https://www.amazon.fr/UGREEN-Nexode-Chargeur-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B0CCXVG3DD/ . Your existing Amazon account should also work without having to re-register.
Though the French listing says its sold by Ugreen Group Limited UK too. Maybe just call their UK office and ask them? They might have the stock over here already.

Or failing that I wonder if you could get delivered to an Amazon locker over there and pick it up?

Yep to the answer the OP it seems there's over 67million people who in France and likely have a French address

Sign up to Amazon.de and you’ll be fine to order to the UK

Post-brexit, do you know if the delivery prices include any customs/processing fees -

don't want the proverbial Capita goons turning up on the doorstep, that the license payers are so afraid of.

jpaul · 11 Jan 2024 at 20:10

OK seems like - if De Amazon has paid VAT providing it is less that £135 should be duty free , so standard rules ,
even if the de amazon checkout doesn't seem to acknowledge the issue.

jpaul · 15 Jan 2024 at 13:51

Amazon.de even seem more efficient than uk amazon shipped to uk on the next working day ~~prime~~ using EU sepa payment - have to see who executes delivery.

Probably a bit late now, but IIRC you can sign into various non UK amazon sites with your UK account, I'm fairly sure that's how I ordered the "Graboid" LE Tremors DVD set from Germany years ago and they'll usually ship to the UK, but you may need to pay postage.

jpaul · 15 Jan 2024 at 20:54

yes - ironically, although I had text searched amazon uk for the product I bought, when I searched for amazon.de product number it found it in the UK shop,
which hadn't worked for the OP's product,
all told, comes out at same price.
