Cube Shop in the UK?

[Blurry]

EDIT:cubeshop.co.uk is now LIVE!


Hey! I've had a cube store in the works for a fair while and have been slowly getting the domain and the page sorted out etc, I was planning to launch early June and have a fair bit of stock, but due to the recent 'inactivity' of UKCubeStore (The only UK based store) many members have been getting frustrated with shipping times from alternatives (Cubezz,Cubicle etc).

Anyway, I was just wondering that if I did rush the website and have it up by the end of this month would people be interested? I also would need a list of stock people would want, generally anyway.
I aim to have my prices fairly reasonable as bulk buying does reduce the costs anyway.

I can cater to the majority of needs.
Thanks!

Blurry



Edit: I also do apologize if this is in the wrong forum - I couldn't find a real fitting place so I went with general.

I would definitely use it if you had things for a better price or different things than UKCubeStore

 

[Myachii]

YES
This is exactly what we need, please get it up as soon as you can

Are you gonna use PayPal? Apparently you can't sell 5x5+ w/ PayPal.

Awesome! Okay. Well, I need to get some more money together for bringing the forum post up, but when my stock comes I should be ready to put the website live.

I will be using PayPal, as well as a Secure Card Payment if you don't have an account - I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do so? If it's concerning the price my Business account can process in excess of £1000 so I see no problem.
I'll be sure to look into it and update you but either way if there was a problem I would find another way

Okay - Well anyway, Stock wise. What would you want? Ill add up the choices - I'll be getting around 3 of each puzzle to start off with, then with the funds that I raise from selling them I will proceed to get bigger and better orders.

 

[Myachii]

Could you get some of the newest and most popular MoYu products?
You'll make profit on the popular products and the new ones will appeal to more people just because they're new (Like the Huachuang, YueYing, Mini Aosu)
Besides, I'd love a Huachuang
I recommend to start off with just get a standard 2-7 set of puzzles and work your way up starting with other WCA puzzles then onto different puzzles.

Pretty easy profit to be made on guanlongs i reckon

I'm fine with ukcubestore. Prices are not much more than Chinese shops and obviously I do have to wait a month. I've also ordered from cubicle without any problems with shipping times (1-2 weeks).
Obviously if you're cheaper I'll consider it, but otherwise I'll continue to use ukcubestore

The reason why he's moving this forward is because of KongShou's inactivity and the indefinite closure of UKCubeStore. People have been having problems and the owner hasn't been responding, so this may be the only decent UK Speed Cube store if nothing changes with the former.

Yes, that's exactly it - I've ordered from UKCubeStore on various occasions and are no way trying to compete or trying to deface Kong's reputation - I just wanted to add to the very small number of cube stores in the UK.
The inactivity of UKCubeStore has concerned me and I would personally hate for anyone to lose money or not receive feedback - That's why as mentioned above I am 'rushing' my store and getting it out asap.

Ordering:
Dayan Zhanchi x3
Moyu Lingpo x2
Shengshou 4x4 x2
Aolong v2 x2
YJ Guanlong x3
Mini Aosu x1
YueYing x2 (Black)
YueYing x1 (White)

What do you think? Would you buy any of these?

 

[fabdabs1234]

Yes, this is just what I need

no more eight week delivery from the cubicle because the parcel ha gotten lost half way across the world

 

[Myachii]

I'd love to buy a black YueYing and a black Guanlong depending on the price. (Could you please reserve these for me, I understand if this isn't possible but if you're ordering so little stock to start with I don't wanna miss out )

Yes, this is just what I need

no more four week delivery from the cubicle because the parcel ha gotten lost half way across the world

D: Did you get it insured?

Il see what I can do - Website should be up within 2weeks - Just need cubes to come and then I'm ready. Although the only other expense is paying for a forum thread on the shop topic.

Yay!
