Contacting 9spuzzles

[Kiongku]

Hi people,
I'm looking for people who got a response from 9spuzzles from his mail [email protected].
How long did it take him to answer mails?
Currently I'm having trouble with my order and the website shows my order to be unpaid. I have paid with e-cheque by paypal on the 4th of August and the cheque was cleared on the 10th.
However, till now I received no email from 9spuzzles at all and the website shows me as unpaid .

They replied promptly to me. Like within a day or two.

Yes, to me the replies where max 2 days. But this was last year. Because they don`t have any real new puzzle in a long time i don´t have placed any order/comunication this year.

Updating on what happened.

9spuzzles replied to me and told me my items were already shipped.
The interesting point though was it was shipped together with the order I made with Rubikfans on ebay. I made both orders at the same time.
So rubikfans did tell me my order was shipped and the tracking number given showed supposedly that it left china on the 12th August.
(new type a white DIY third model with rubikfans, new type a black DIY third model and type D YUGA with 9spuzzles

I am still waiting for the package to come.

I also did those orders at the same time:-
Dealextreme:- 3 type C black DIY
24hourgifts from ebay:- Ghosthand
and 4 smooth tiles with cubesmith.

Dealextreme and 24hourgifts arrived at the same time 2 days ago and I just received my cubesmith order today.

For anyone interested, I'm in Australia.. US and Hong Kong are fastest to our place I guess

I got my order from rubikfans and 9spuzzles today.

I realised when I got it that those new type A (third model) are not really what I thought they would be.

From what I received from rubikfans, the white new type A (third model) appears to be actually the older model according to pentrixter. My edge cubies are similar to the picture he has in this review.

Also the black new type A (third model) from 9spuzzles appears to be the new type A II instead. The cubies got those little tabs. As penxtrixter noted, those tabs cause the cube to lock up a lot. I had difficulties to put them in the edge cubies so in the end I just removed them altogether instead of filing them like pentrixter. But even then, I think its my worst cube till now compared to storebought, type C from DX and ghosthand.

Anyone else has the same issue?

Not much to say about the YUGA.. not that impressed yet.

The Type A (third model) is the New Type A II according to cube distributors so you did get the right cube. In my thread, I basically said that there is nothing "third model" about it. That's why I feel that it should be named "second model" instead. But the naming system for online cube distributors do not conform to my naming system.

Give the New Type A II a little more time. In my thread, I did say that it needs to be broken. Once broken in, it is really an excellent cube.

Thanks, alright I"ll give this cube a bit more spin.
Do you reckon I should put the tabs inside the edge cubies and file them like yours or will it be fine to leave them out and have an empty space?
