Cube4you now selling v-cubes

[DavidWoner]

you can see them right on the front page. i know they had the pages for 6x6 and 7x7 on their site for a while with no cubes there. but i have to ask- whats the point? they are cheaper if you buy them directly from v-cubes. i guess they are hoping to get the people who don't know about the v-cubes website. i still think im going to buy directly from Mr Verdes.

Is buying directly from V-Cubes (including shipping, etc) still cheaper if you are already buying 50 dollars of puzzles from cube4you and add V-Cubes?

 

[jonny guitar]

Good point above...this will allow people like me to just get one V-cube at a time instead of feeling obligated to buy them all because of the freight. I bet the packaging is much better from cube for you too. Added bonus for Canadian customers is the fact that you don't have to deal with those UPS Custom/broker charges.

PuzzleProz discovered a long time ago that the shipping charges from Greece where so huge that it would be cheaper for US customers if PuzzleProz bought a large order from V-Cubes and then shipped the individual cubes to the US customers. That was before V-Cubes dropped their shipping rates. It might not be much of a deal now, but I am on his list if he can get more people and give us a bargain. Maybe Cube4you had the same idea.

Oh, and as somebody said, there were a few horror stories about how v-cubes got destroyed by shipping. Hopefully, Cube4you and PuzzleProz would check and repackage for safer shipping.

I did exactly what you said
V Cube 7 + $20 Coupon, too bad the Aussie Dollar isnt doing so well. But I saved quite alot and with EMS shipping as well.

 

[DavidWoner]

o yeah i forgot about coupons. that would make a difference. i think i may wait for some coupons now and just buy my 5x5 from c4y, along with some 3x3s

as for shipping: not only has v-cubes lowered their shipping prices, they have improved their packaging in response to complaints of shipping damages.

I think that if you're going to buy all 3, it's better to buy the bundle from V-Cubes. It is cheaper, right?

Also, they say "No box" on Cube4you. Isn't that risky, or are they going to package the V-Cubes in something else?

And recently, there have been complaints about Cube4you sending customers the wrong stuff. O.o

Without coupons it is cheaper from v-cubes I think.
Of course Cube4you will send the cubes in some sort of packaging, bubble wrap and a box.
I highly doubt that James/Rubik will mistake V-cubes with any other cubes unless he messes up the order number or the address.

 

[Neroflux]

i was joking with my friends that these v cubes could be some uber imitations.

joking. yeah. i was just doing some typical stereotyping. don't take this to heart.

they have two pyraminxes and one says no box, i bought the no box one and it came in a cool hexagonal packaging, dont believe everything you read :]

 

[shadowpartner]

i think buy from mr verdes would be better,cube4you is just trying their luck hoping that internet noobs would buy from them

 

[Vulosity]

The V-Cubes on Cube4You are $5 USD more expensive than V-Cubes.com

Shipping on Cube4you is also very cheap and slow ( if you pick the $6 shipping method).

The shipping from Mr. Verdes is more expensive but more reliable and faster.

 

[Michael_Wee]

personally i would rather get it from cube4you because my dad makes frequent trip to shanghai and he charges a slightly lower price if you buy direct from him which is a plus and he said no box because of the tendency of the box to get damaged during the course of shipping no one would want to ship a half broken box

 

[Vulosity]

I just checked cube4you and they don't have V-Cubes anymore.

But they have this thing called an E-Cube.

I don't quite get it.

 

[Vulosity]

It's seems like an electronic puzzle that has lights that you push on. He says that it needs 3 AAA batteries.

 

[DavidWoner]

its a 3x3, but you push buttons to move the "cubies"(lights) instead of turning the faces.

EDIT: never mind, i just watched another video and it looks a lot weirder than that.

cube4you shipping prices are way up in 2010. I had a order with a value of 32 dollars and i have to pay 42 euro to ship it to the netherlands ..no way i'm going to pay that. In december I paid 6 dollars.

wow i was going to make an order of over $100 from them later in the year but at that shipping price i dont see the worth, i doubt it would make a difference shipping to the netherlands or ireland
