The Cubicle is the place to go,
With cubes and stickers, and more you know?
With a small kitten and a cool guy,
You just gotta give that site a try!
 
Nah, I've always bought almost everything I own from Amazon. I only buy directly from Amazon or from sellers that are fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon itself is obviously legitimate and its fulfilled sellers are usually reliable and offer good refund policies. If you got a fake cube, you probably bought it from a 3rd party seller that's not affiliated with Amazon. The Cubicle's alright, but I don't like the fact that small business usually take a while to process your order and doesn't have free shipping.

Maybe you are right about Amazon...but they now offer free shipping, and rush processing is $1.50.

I would know since I just bought a cube from them on Saturday and it arrived today! :)

I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but The Cubicle has some of the best shipping of ALL TIME.
/reference

The slowest it's take them to ship a cube out has been two days, and it usually takes no more that three days with weather problems. In addition, I would argue that they have the best customer service of all time.

Seconded, the fact that they are a small company, if anything seems to make them better at service. S&H is epic fast.

I'd say a weilong is definitely something to try if you haven't already.

My friend said it would be to fast...

On precise moves I find my zhanchi faster, which you use, but if you like to be approximate and often turn with misaligned layers weilong is good, it butter turns in any way. I don't think weilong is as fast as people say.

You probably don't have it set up all that well. They're usually quite fast. Although some do say otherwise I usually suspect tensioning and lubing.

Well, my zhanchi has just been feeling slow so I'm gunna get a set of traxxas lube for it and see if it gets better.
 
Hello, I'm interested in a cube that is around the same speed as my Zhanchi, but more controllable. I think Weilong is out of the question (although I would love one) because at my speed (20 seconds) it will be uncontrollable. I'm looking at the ShengShou Aurora, but I'm also considering the YJ Yulong. Can anyone tell me which one would suit me better thanks.

I would recommend above all else the Fangshi ShuangRen v2. It is my main and i've broken multiple records on it. It holds my current single record of 12.22 and my Ao12 of 18.xx. It is extremely fast when lubed and tensioned properly. Some people don't care for the feel of it (because the plastic is different). If you ignore that, you will eventually get used to the feel.

Secondly, the Weilong shouldn't be too fast for you. My average is about 18 seconds (only 2 less than yours), and I can handle it fine. If you want it, I'd say get it, but that's my opinion. The only problem I have with it and the reason it isn't my main, is because sometimes I overshoot on turns...so I guess you could say it's a tad uncontrollable. HOwever, I haven't practiced with it much, so I believe if you spend time with the Weilong, as I have with my Fangshi, you will come to get used to it.

Bottom line: Get a Weilong if you want one, they're not so godly that you can't learn to handle it. I'd recommend a Fangshi, though.
