Also, is the white version available? The comments on the site say the white isn't available yet.
Cheers.
Yes, you can trust that website. If you live in north america I think you should receive it in a couple of weeks. Or you can buy from one of the US based stores.
it is reliable but shipping is kind of expensive and a bit slow. If you want faster shipping then just get it from a US based store and if you want to get it cheap then get it from icubing.com.
Thanks guys. I'm not in USA, I'm in Australia. icubing doesn't seem to ship internationally unfortunately...
Might just go with these guys http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sk...be_Black-32680. They've got a few shipping methods to choose from which seem quicker than a few weeks.
Where abouts in Australia? If you want to get it fast you can order from Kubaroo.Originally Posted by BopBob

Smaller Business. If I'm correct, it is all run by one kid.
Great thanks for that store! Definitely buying from Kubaroo, should be delivered within days
So where about in Australia are you from?
My markup (how much I raise the price from how much I bought it from) is more often than not lower than most big stores. There are a few reasons;
1. I don't speak Chinese. To get retailers and wholesalers to take you seriously, you either need to be Chinese, or good at pretending to be. They feel they can ask for more from buyers such as me.
2. Many of the retailers don't speak English, so I can't buy from them, so other retailers can charge more.
3. Shipping to and around Australia. I recently ordered 60 cubes, and the shipping was over $100. Not only that, but when I ship it around Australia I often lose money. To ship one cube costs about $6 (not including the labor of packing, then a 20 minute walk to, and back from the post office). I incorporate shipping into the prices for simpler purchase. I often lose money, because as you will notice lots of the cubes in the store actually cost more to ship, than to buy (Maru lube, if ordered alone, I charge $4, then shipping is $6). Shipping is ridiculous in Australia. It's cheaper to ship from the USA to Australia, than Australia to Australia.
4. I do not receive enough business to order directly from manufacturers. The reason being, that wholesalers have minimum purchase amounts. For a single colour of a single model of DaYan cube, you have to order at least 40. So I'd need to order, 40 white, 40 black, GuHongs, LingYuns and LunHuis, soon ZhanChis. That would add up to 320 cubes. It would take years to pay that back. Instead I need to order from a "middleman". Someone who has already bought from the manufacturers, and already raised the price. Some 3x3s are over $10 to purchase for me, when the manufacturing cost is at most $2.
For these reasons, and others, I can not match the prices of stores such as Lightake. However, I offer good customer service, and shipping time of 1-4 days. And as I don't receive many orders, when I do I assemble the cubes, then ship them off the same business day.
"One kid?" If I recall, we're the same age
