DealPerfect - Anyone else have good experiences with them?

I have just ordered a white 4x4 QJ cube with tiles on Ebay. The cost was $12.99 USD ($16.13 AUD) but this order did have free shipping though.

I wanted to know though, is the QJ 4x4x4 worth it? I was planning to order an Eastsheen from DX because I love my Eastsheen 5x5x5 and hate my rubik's brand. Not sure, but couldn't find any sort of full reviews on QJ, just see little snippets of comments here and there.

In my opinion, they pwn eastsheen cubes. I have 2 eastsheen 4x4s and I don't think I will solve them again now I have my QJ.

I really struggled to sub2min on my eastsheen. I mean it'd be an awesome solve. With my QJ, I sub 2 most solves. I've only had it about two weeks ish, so it's def more cube than practise thats dropped my times.
 
Well the thing is, I'm not a speedcuber *GASP*, well at least not for the 4x4x4 or 5x5x5. So I just want something smooth to play around with. I guess I *may* eventually get into speedcubing em, but at the moment, just something with a good feel you know what I mean?

The rubik's was soooo stiff that I had the 5x5x5 for a year and a half without really trying to learn, but I learned it with the eastsheen cuz it was so much better. I was hoping to find something like that for the 4x4x4 too. So QJ still recommended in that respect?

definitely. you will want to still solve it a bit to make it even better, but i have to say that mine feels better in my tiny hands than an eastsheen.

at least it's better than buying for $15.00 at a comp with no color choice ><

Is this a jsk clone http://www.focalprice.com/333_Magic_Puzzle_Rubik_Cube_Kit_With_Tools_TX083X_6994.html

No, unfortunately it is not. I ordered one just to find out how similar it was to a JSK and the quality is absolutely terrible. I made a thread about it here just after I received it. The main problem I experienced was the screws unscrewing themselves, I ended up having to super glue them all in place. The thread I posted concludes that it was a DianSheng clone, I think I would be right in saying that the DianSheng has similar problems with the core.

I actually mentioned this cube a few pages ago in this thread:

I also ordered off another website similar to Deal Extreme and Deal Perfect, this one is called Focal Price. Check it out, I ordered a DianSheng clone that is utter tripe.

I ordered the black QJ Megaminx and 4x4 just now, I'll post again once I have them (so you'll know how long my shipping took), and how good I think they are (the cubes and dealperfect).
Thanks for these links, anyway :)

Hi, I just went to the post office and collected these - they had been delivered on friday. The date of my post was the 18th of august - last friday was the 28th, so 10 days. Given that the shipping was free, that's perfectly satisfactory: I've paid for shipping from c4u that has taken 3x longer. The transaction was with paypal, so obviously quite secure, and the prices were very good.

The Megaminx is awesome. I love it. I haven't even lubed it or broken it in, and it feels almost as good as Chris Ness' original Mefferts already. :D

The 4x4 has a lot of potential, though it does need a good breaking in. I quite like the stickers, but it has to be said they are reminiscent of shiny nail varnish. I don't doubt that after a couple of days of hard wear it'll become my main cube.

The megaminxes I've used (but not necessarily owned) are Mefferts, PVC, Chinaminx, and Puzl and it far outstrips the latter 3.
The 4x4s I've used are ES (white + black), Mefferts, and QJ tiled, and although it isn't as good as my QJ or the Mefferts yet, it hasn't been broken in at all.

EDIT: DONT LUBE THE MEGAMINX. Mine has turned crap. I'll do a second edit if it improves.
EDIT2: Not to say that it's improved: it's actually a PVC minx, I hadn't realised. However it's still far superior to my Puzl (which is also a PVC minx!)

I have just ordered the 6x6x6 cube from Dealperfect. I now have a complete collection of cubes from 1x1x1 to 7x7x7 now. As my best time for the 7x7x7 is 32:00 and this 6x6x6 is not a speedcube (only a real V6 with the full pi mod will do this), I'll be happy. It cost me $26.61 USD with free shipping.

Of course, should Verdes put out a perfect V6, I'll buy it from the V-Cubes site though.

You'll have to let us know what it's like. Here is a review of the one you ordered - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cGI8h7kVX0. Apparently he is "Impressed and not impressed".
 
I will when it arrives. I will make a bold prediction. My PB for the 6x6x6 will be the average for the 5x5x5 (8:40) and the 7x7x7 (32:00). That equates to about 20:15.

And as this 6x6x6 is not a speed cube, I can't complain. And at the price, if I get a few lock ups and some clickyness on this cube, I'll be happy.
 
I picked up my DealPerfect skewb diamond (http://dealperfect.com/detail.dp/sku.23580) from the post office and it's a Mozhi (as widely discussed on twistypuzzles). Very cheap, decent quality, good fun, not yet lubed.

EDIT: scratch that "decent quality" comment above! Disassembled and saw how poor the mech was compared to a real Meffert's! :)
