I finally received my order today — the travel adapter arrived safely
Yesterday, I mentioned the issues I had with the delivery. I thought I wouldn’t be able to receive it during the week. Because the delivery time was delayed twice, I completely lost hope. However, today around 3 p.m., I checked the delivery status and saw that it had changed to delivered.
Here I need to explain one important detail. When the status says delivered, it doesn’t mean that I’ve already received the package. It means that the order has been delivered to a special pickup point, and I need to go there and collect it myself. Of course, I could choose home delivery, but for that I would need to pay extra money and also stay at home. If the delivery man arrives while I’m out, the package won’t be delivered. That’s why I prefer a 10–15 minute walk and picking up my order on my own.
I decided to order a travel adapter because during my trip to Singapore I couldn’t charge my phone. The power sockets there were different. I knew this before the trip and assumed I could get a free adapter for travelers. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. At the place where I stayed, they asked me to pay for one, and that experience became the main reason I decided to buy my own adapter.
I chose the original adapter from Philips, model SPB1005. It costs about 1126 rubles, or $14.43 in total. This adapter was not the first option I considered. At first, I found an adapter from Switzerland that was similar to this one, but unfortunately it couldn’t be delivered to my country. As a result, I had to look for something that was available locally and could actually be shipped to me. That’s when I noticed adapters from the company Philips and decided to choose one of them. Honestly, I didn’t know anything particularly special about this model at the beginning, because the decision was made somewhat spontaneously, but I still took the time to read reviews on other websites.
During the day, I’ve already tested the adapter and haven’t found any issues so far. I tried charging both my laptop and my phone, and everything works perfectly — I have no complaints. The adapter features one Type-C port (15W), two Type-A ports (15W), two fuses rated at 10A, and supports three types of sockets. I think this combination is more than enough for my trips. In addition, the design and the slide buttons are very convenient and comfortable to use. Even when I hold it in my hands, I can feel that it was developed with quality and attention to detail.

Yesterday I mentioned my issues with my order. I thought I couldn't receive it during the week. Because the delivery time was delayed twice, I lost my hopes. But today around 3 PM I checked my delivery status and saw that the order status was changed to delivered. Here I need to explain one moment. If status is delivered, it's not about I already receiving it. It's about my order delivered to special place, and I need to go there and pick it up myself. Of course I can directly deliver my order to my door. But for it, I need to pay extra money, and I need to be at home. If delivery man arrives when I'm out, then he can just deliver the order. So I prefer just a walk of 10-15 minutes and pick up my order myself.
I decided to order a travel adapter, because during my travel to Singapore, I couldn't charge my phone. The sockets were not the same there. I knew about it before my trip, and I just thought I could receive free adapters for travelers. But, I couldn't receive it for free. In that place where I stayed, they asked me pay for an adapter. So this act was the main reason for the new one.
I chose the original adapter from Phillips, model SPB1005. It costs about 1126 rubles or $14.43 total. And this adapter was not the first one that I saw and bought.

Then I saw adapters from the company Philips and decided to choose it. Honestly, I didn't know something special about this adapter.

And the design and slide buttons are very convenient and comfortable. Even when I hold it in my hands, I feel how it was developed with quality.
