What? No. Why would someone do this?
I would have done this back in the rubber cable days. Those broke so easily and frequently that if I could have one shipped to my house every 2 months, I might finally outpace my pets destroying them.
My cable outlasted the female side of my iPhone.
Never.

That said, I'm always amazed by the products Amazon offers under "Subscribe and Save" (like, grocery carts? What kind of life are you living that you need a $70 cart every month?)

How could anyone possibly make use of so many charging cables?
