Best Budget/Beginner SpeedCubes

I am aware that the price of that cube is much lower, but you aren't considering shipping in the factor.

US shop 2.50 $ + 12 $ shipping ---> 12 EUR total & 3 weeks wait (and possibly taxes)
UK shop 3.50 £ + 8 £ shipping ---> 13 EUR total & 1 week wait (no taxes)
Amazon IT 12 € + 0 € shipping ---> 12 EUR total & 1 day wait (no taxes)

See where this is going?
Add in that it was the week before Christmas, and I wanted it by Christmas, and it was a no brainer.
But yeah, for future purchases of more expensive cubes I will certainly consider other shops.
Magiccubemall: $1.69+$1.62 shipping ( 10-20 working days)?=~ £2.44=~€2.75
 
Also look at zcube.hk (ordered 2 times) and cubezz.com (also 2 times). For single cubes, cubezz.com is pretty often cheaper, but for bigger orders, zcube.hk is cheaper. Cubezz.com, 1 order came after 20 days, the other after 10 days. Zcube.hk, both 10 days. To Germany. Sure, Amazon is faster, but sometimes you don't get what you ordered (got the Warrior, instead of the WarriorW). And for the price of the gts2m (27 Euros at Amazon, or more), i get 11 yuxin little magic with zcube.hk. The gts 2 was 13 Euro, the valk3 was 9 Euro. At Amazon, if you don't need it immediately, you pay too much. Last example, the molecube is 15 bucks with delivery via Amazon (marketplace) , same Shop via www sells it for 14.
 
I have the qiyi warrior w and I have lubed it and magnetised it and it's amazing I feels just like this valk 3 power m and it has a crisp feeling and great stability (cos of the magnets) but it was all ready quite stable already but this is by far the best burger speed cube and is now my main for many months to come. So I would definitely recommend this cube to any cuber that is just starting of or if a pro.
 
For me, I think the best budget speedcubes are MF3RS 2 then MF3RS, Yuxin Little Magic and Qiyi Warrior W.
I have the Qiyi Warrior W and it is super smooth, and to be honest, faster than the Gan 356 Air and requires effortless turning as advertised. My friend has an MF3RS and it's smooth and fast, but the internal gets dirty for short amount of time.
 
So, my orders are completed. For now, i would say, that the yuxin is the best budget cube. The Mf3rs feels cheap (scratchy cornercaps i had to close very öfter, you can look inside the cubies), the Mf3rs2 feels more expensive but it's slow and "sandy?", and you can hear the springs very often.
The yuxin is just insane. It's very fast and easy to turn, it clacks more (louder than the others), the corner cutting is extreme, nearly from everywhere. But i don't like the colors. The yellow and orange aren't mine. From the budgets, it's the best if you want a fast and cornercutter one. It also weighs less.
 
Unfortunately that 3x3 gets much more expensive when shipped to Europe. I would like a budget cube for myself since I haven't cubed since 2009 and I own one of the cubes that were considered good back then (Ghost hands if I recall correctly) which I believe might be lousy compared to any modern cube. Can someone suggest me an option under 10 dollars shipping to The Netherlands? And is Moyu MF3RS the same cube as this one?
Cubezz has free shipping, unfortunately they dont have lube.
 
Does anyone have problems with Magic Cube Mall? I ordered some cubes there about two weeks ago and still have not received the email with the tracking number.
 
You should email them. I ordered 1 time with the express delivery and they answered my mail(s) fast (max 1 day). Propably, they sent the cubes and just forgot to give you more Infos. Just ask for the delivery and if you can get the tracking number.
 
I did buy a cube for a friend a couple of weeks ago, they didn't send me the number, but if I login in the website it's there all right.
 
Brand new cuber here, so take this for what it's worth, which isn't much! Strictly out of the box, too, cuz I don't know squat about tensioning, lubing, etc...

I was looking to replace my Rubik's brand, and ordered a MF3RS2 and a QiYi warrior W. I watched a ton of videos, and read a bunch of reviews, and thought these two were the ones to try.

I never understood on the videos when they would say that something "felt" cheap.... until I held the MF3RS2. It definitely feels cheap. It also seems slower and catches a little more often than the Warrior W, which just all around has a better feel anyway...

Anyway, just the two cents of a complete newbie..
 
Don't know if my Mf3rs2 is a bad individuum and zcube doesn't sell good ones, but, after about 3-4 weeks solving / breakin in/whatsoever, i decided to put it back to the shelf. It's a big disappointment for me. Even the thunderclap is a better choice, and the Mf3rs 1. The Warriorw is better and the yuxin little Magic is the best of them. Now, i got back to the yuexiao pro m, valk, gts2 and the ylm (as my budget option for travel/Work)

PS. I also like the moyu jiaoshi 5 and 4,5 a lot (Even if they are too small for my Handstand) . They are the mains for my wifey.
