Is SpeedCubeStore.co.uk FAKE?

[SamuelCrawford]

Recently I came across a uk speed cube store called SpeedCubeStore.co.uk. It had good postage and good prices so I decided to buy a gan 356 XS there. The store said I would receive the tracking details by email before the end of the week.

FAST FORWARD A WEEK
Still no email. I was getting worried because I had paid more than £45 for it. So I searched the internet for any trace of this - and found none.

So could anyone clarify for me whether this store is real or fake please? Here is a link:

Based on how many big sales there are, I'd guess it's fake(although that's not proof), especially if they scammed you out of $60

This is unfortunately a known problem. Many youtubers posted about it in like September. Please do not order from there, they usually scam you out of your money and they have no customer service.

This is certainly not a fake store, they are just not the most reputable. I have ordered stuff from there, and received exactly what I ordered, but I would not do it again. I did not get any updates from them and customer service was a total joke. How long did it estimate that shipping would take? If I were you and looking for cheap prices I would buy from cubezz. Hopefully your cube comes, but I would not get your hopes up.

From their website:

But they are not from the UK, it's a Chinese company. While perhaps not fake, it's not a reliable store and they are misleading people by using a UK URL.

To make an update:
I did finally receive the cube. The problem was their customer service - they did not contact me at all.

Wow, lucky! If they had good customer service and consistent shipping then speedcubestore.co.uk could be a potential.

Good to hear you finally got it. Maybe use a different store in the future now that you know that speedcubestore.co.uk isn’t a reliable shop.

Glad to hear that, can you tell me how long it took for your item to be delivered (and also what area you live in)?

I was in the same situation as Samuel. I have my cubes now.

I was in the same situation as Samuel. I have my cubes now.

How long did it take because I order the valk 3 elite 1-2 months ago from them and I’m wondering when I should expect it

 

[brenda]

Exactly 2 weeks and i live in the uk

 

[Apolo]

I've heard they are chinease and a lot of people didn't got their orders

Just buy from a better store like Kewbs UK or britcubes.

I have recently bought a GAN 356 xs from SpeedCubeStore.co.uk and I was very careful of using a legitimate site, however, I feel like I might have made a mistake and used a fake website.

I have not received any confirmation of order or any tracking details. The payment I made was through Paypal so I know I could raise concern with them should the cube not turn up.

The only thing I got was a receipt from Paypal and the email adress attatched looked like it had nothing to do with the site.

I have no reason to not trust this site but something just doesn't quite sit right with me after ordering.

Has anyone used this site before, or can anyone advise me with what to do?

Thanks in advance.
