I am sure they do.
However, because of often layered accessibility issues, my average for an
amazon order is about 4 hours on the phone, sometimes around 3, but
rarely
less than that.
additionally, when you add the shipping costs, I am back to around $20
and am still waiting for days smiles.

FYI, Amazon carries much cheaper options (as low as $10).

Hi Karen,
The older, post-firewire iPods have a 30-pin dock connector, but most of them
came with a dock to USB A cable (the oldest iPods used firewire, and the oldest
iPods with a dock connector relied upon a dock to firewire cable for charging).
The oldest versions of the dock cables would lock in place and need to be
squeezed to release the locking pins, the newer ones removed that locking and
changed the strain relief. My 2005 iPod nano came with one of those locking
cables. My 2010 iPad came with the newer cable.
If you don’t mind going to an Apple Store, they have them available for $25,
where they call them “Apple 30-pin to USB Cables”. Jump+ has their store brand
Jump+ USB to 30 pin dock connector cables for $20.

Hi Evan,
The IPod prior to say touches, 6 generation and before, did not use a USB cable
for power. Instead the cable has a pin structure that reminds me of the ones
older Motorola or lg flip phones used, as in the ones in the mid to late 2000's.
besides, with a kind nudge, ordering on that site with adaptive technology and
command line Linux is not especially feasible.
In the time I spend seeking an inclusive door, I can just call somewhere
local, walk in with the cable, and get it done.
thanks for the ideas tough.

If you're not in a rush, you might just do better to shop at home.
Search for "ipod charger" at Aliexpress and there are dozens of entries,
most for $4 or less *including shipping*.
Most are cables that will work with any USB-A power source. Here's one
example <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003608173796.html>.
They all have photos and their descriptions often say specifically what
models they're for. And there's no HST charged for packages this small.
The big downside is the shipping time. Expect two month delivery for the
economy shipping and one month for the premium options. The "estimated
delivery time" presented is a good guideline, but it's usually faster than
that.

As in, not related to each other smiles
First, what was the name of the still existing Toronto electronics surplus
type store, now that above all electronics is gone?
Need to replace the charger for an older apple iPod, and prefer doing this
in person to insure it fits.
And, on an unrelated note,
Any ideas, even if in your closet for a pair of still-connecting-to-a
soundblaster-type-soundcard computer speakers?
My ideal pair would have a headphone jack too so I could listen late at
night without bothering others.
all my serious computer stuff is in storage. Willing to make this an
amazon or comparative buy, if not from your closet, if I know what I am
getting is what I seek.
Thoughts oh princes of gear?
