How much longer can I expect shipping to take from fasttech.com if I received a shipping confirmation email ("Order number blahblahblah has shipped!") on September 17th, but didn't pay the extra dollar or so to get faster shipping? It shipped via "International Airmail." Destination is Georgia.

EDIT: According to this, http://support.fasttech.com/FAQ/what-are-the-supported-shipping-methods, it should take no longer than 30 business days. 30 business days from September 17th was today...

On every page on FastTech:

Hong Kong Post Alert: FastTech was told of a 15-day delay at Hong Kong Post for non-US shipping address (tracking prefixed by "RT").
FastTech offers at least 3 alternative shipping carriers and we are starting to re-route non-US orders away from Hong Kong Post.

Is that the same for Wallbuys? I really need my Moyu Weilong Group order to come soon as it is a present . . .

The state of Georgia (US), not the country. Oh well I guess I can wait longer!

They fit, but damn tightly. I would recommend instead, buying the cubicle's fangshi stickers for it.

The 54.6mm ones or the 57mm ones?

 

[Lchu613]

Presumably the 57 mm ones. Get them since they're rounded. They won't stick out as much and stuff. Since the Gans III has enormous holes.

Where can I find the definition of "strong scramble"?

Wiki says avg movecount for CFOP is 56. What would decent ranges be with 2LOLL?

63 or so.

 

[TDM]

68 or so.

I'd say less. 12 extra moves is quite a lot, especially as most cases are 6 for edges + 1 for AUF + 8/9 for corners. My guess is 62-63.

 

[uberCuber]

68 or so.

If going from 1-look OLL to 2-look OLL adds 12 to your average movecount, you should really get new 2LOLL algs

True. I overestimated. Edited.

Do the Dayan ZhanChi come prelubed?

I'm new to this speed cubing thing, but I've been able to solve a 3x3 for a while now. I recently got the ZhanChi and when I got it, the cube was fairly greasy. The stickers had grease and I could even make out a few fingerprints, but is the cube prelubed or something?

Probably somewhere around 58-63.

Yeah the cube is most likely prelubed.

What is the best way to dissamble a tight 54.7mm fangshi?

Use light force and twist the piece.

Use light force and twist the piece.

This actually worked!
Thanks!

I remember seeing a Speedstacks mat on one of those chinese cube stores (Ligthake, Fasttech etc.) but I can't remember which one it was and I can't find it now. Can anyone give me a link?
