High quality and cheaper than Costco.

The Costco logo is on the box and says "Also available at Costco.com". Heck, I didn't think to review Costco! Out of curiosity, I went to Costco.com to check the price. $29.99! Hm?! I paid €9.99! The only difference was that the model sold at Costco had lighting cords designed for Apple devices. I've always had Android phones, so I don't know the total cost of Apple Lightning cables compared to micro USB cables, so maybe $29.99 is a reasonable price. As for the quality of the cables, since I only had cables. For weeks I can't comment on the durability or reliability of the cables and chargers, but the cable connectors are anodized aluminum and the cables are aluminum and copper shielded. And according to the packaging, the 6-foot cables have a "protective, tangle-free mesh sleeve." Not sure how much protection the mesh will offer as the mesh is plastic but it definitely makes the cables look very cool and premium. The wall and car charger are of high quality as the end of the car charger is encased in an anodized aluminum case. I can confirm that the chargers and cables charge my Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet, Bluetooth speakers and other electronics at high speeds. Cons: The cables are quite stiff and the packaging is very disappointing: ! It took heavy scissors, a utility knife, and a very strong tongue to pull each item out of its plastic cocoon! And while I struggled to open the packaging, I had to be careful not to cut, slash, or crush the product I was trying to get my hands on. Great premium construction, cool looks, and cheaper than Costco? So far, so good.
