Cables & Cords Delivery or Pickup

To determine what length, size, and type of cable to buy, determine how you'll use it. If you plan to use a cord or cable to charge your mobile phone or other devices, opt for a fast-charging cable. If you plan to use the cord or cable for data transfer only, then you'll want to ensure you buy a USB data transfer cable.

If you use a USB cable as a car accessory, you should purchase a charge-only fast-charging cable to charge your mobile phone. With cables and cords via Instacart, you will be able to connect with several electronic devices. 

The length of a cable or cord is another factor you should consider before you buy one. If your socket is far from your workstation, couch, or your bedside, a long cable or cord will come in handy. A long cable or cord provides you with the luxury of using your smartphone during charging regardless of the power outlet's distance.

However, you should not buy a very long cord or cable if you plan to charge your smartphone at a breakneck speed. A long USB cable can take more time to charge a battery than a shorter and medium length cord or cable. 

One of the primary contributors to cable or cord damage is repeatedly coiling or folding cables or cords to fit into purses, bags, or pockets. Coiling can cause the wires or connectors within the cords and cables to break or wear. Also, constantly coiling can cause the cable pin on both ends of the cable to break, thereby causing slower charge or nonrecognition of your devices by a computer or PC. 

To avoid this problem, look for cables or cords coated with a strong and light fiber such as Kevlar. Also, make sure that the cable or cord you are purchasing is strengthened efficiently at vital stress points — the end is plugged into your phone or device, and the other end plugs into a computer, an adapter, or any USB port. Whether you are shopping for Apple cable connectors or 3M cable connectors, Instacart delivers the appropriate cables and cords that you need.
