I'm not aware of any UK shops right now, but CubeDepotUSA, iCubeMart, Lightake just to name a few have a wide range of cubes. It takes about 2 weeks to arrive to the UK though.

Nobody buys from online uk-based shops really. puzl.co.uk have a few half decent cubes, but most of us just order from US and China based shops
I come from China, and I have lots of Chinese cubes at home. I came Uk without cubes and I want to buy some European cubes or some cube is not made in China, just like V-cube or Rubik's or so. Do you know where to buy these?
wow,that is too long and the fee of delivery won't be cheap

I order from puzl.co.uk and use their Type C. The thing is they only have Type Cs and Haiyan cubes.
Make sure NOT to order their competition standard speed cube! It's terrible, and I should've known all cubes are competition standard anyway apart from those that violate the regulations. Lol.
But the cube is OK. Fast but it is hard to get a good tension where it won't pop without it being unbearably stiff.
However their delivery is amazing! 2 days usually for me.

Yes, we never use type C or haiyan, and I think haiyan is the most disappoint one of Type A. Guhong and Zhanchi are pretty good.

Some well-known online cube stores have been listed by conn9.
I assume this is your first time go abroad. You can't expect the delivery so cheap and fast as which in China. (Delivery can be very cheap within China Mainland. Mainly < £1 and only takes 1-3 days, but the service itself can be horrible.) You can get free delivery in those shops listed by conn9, but they take 2 weeks or more. If you want to get them in 1 week, use the express service which costs you £5-20 more.

Sup. I run a store in New York City and we have pretty great prices. We have a flat fee of $12.95. If the order exceeds $50, the shipping is free.

I use a Type C as my main, if by 'we' you meant cubers in general.
But yeah, others have stated shops of high reputations so although it seems they have long delivery, I guess that's your option.

sorry, i mean 'we' by the friends of me, I just want to say I never try Type C, so I don't know much about that. And thank you for your advice~

Type C suck compared to the best cubes released recently. Lightake have free delivery.
Don't order from America unless they are particularly cheap because you'll probably be hit by an import charge.
If you want a good cube I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait unless you pay a lot for delivery.

What do you think if I buy some from the official website of Rubik or V-cube>? will the price be much dear than those from the online shops?
