Lightake - Always Best Cubes with Best Price, Try now!

One Wheel said:
Both Lightake and magiccubemall do business with people on these forums. I suspect that if they were not trustworthy these threads and others would fill up quickly with complaints, and I haven't seen much of that. Ultimately their prices are low. If you want a US based company with a little more accountability you can go with the cubicle and pay a little more. I personally haven't done business with Lightake, but I have done a little business with magiccubemall. It was a little frustrating waiting for the slow boat from China, and because of questions about exchange rate I would recommend paying through PayPal if possible, but ultimately I did get what I ordered.

How much is their shipping though, it seems cheaper than zcube but I think there shipping is probably alot more that is if they are trustworthy, I have seen many bad reviews elsewhere online for them though

Shipping is advertised right on the page next to the cost of the puzzle. Zcube is not nearly as clear regarding the cost of shipping.

both there websites is also extremely annoying, I searched for wuque, and it gave me three options black white or colourful(stickerless) I clicked on the colourful one and it directly linked me back to black, and when I changed the colour it would not let me add it to cart( I think it was actually magiccubemall but they basically have copied lightakes source code and changed the products so I'm guessing it's the same with lightake
 
Hello,

I placed an order two weeks ago and it's still in the Processing stage. I would really like to know what's happening. I posted a message last week asking about this and I sent you a private message two days ago but I've been ignored.

My concern is whether you have all of my items in stock. If you don't, some other stores are having sales on what I want and I can go with them fill in the holes in my order. I honestly don't mind waiting a month or two if that's what it takes, but I would really appreciate some information in the meantime.

My order is OrderID : Q1701181700004.

you also have a 10% trust rating, so is it safe to trust magiccubemall???

also I think it is pretty safe to suggest that you are all based in china not US.

As long as both the stores provide decent services, it shouldn't matter who owns the store.
 
Hello,

I just checked today on your website and you have cancelled my order, Q1701181700004, which was placed on Feb 18.

I wasn't notified about this at all. I had to find out by checking on my orders on the website. Do you normally tell customers when you cancel their orders? This was my first order from Lightake and between my messages inquiring about my order status being ignored and then having my order canceled without any indication whatsoever, this has been a very unpleasant experience.

Do you plan to sell the Yuxin 7x7x7 ? Can't find it on http://www.lightake.com/

I believe they are affiliated with MagicCubeMall, who specialise in higher order cubes. Pretty sure someone asked the same question recently and someone from the official Lightake account recommended MCM. They're on the same web domain, and share several pages on their website...

on this page or the previous page if this thread, I copied the server's part of scamadviser's review on lightake, it is interesting to note that no one from lightake has seemed to have replied to that

That is just a DNS lookup. I used the same technique for research on Chinese malware when I was in college. Usually Chinese websites are registered in China. It is notable that they use godaddy. That is very typical of American websites, but in my research very rare for Chinese sites. When they use a hosting service like that there is really very little you can learn from that information. If they didn't you could possibly get a physical address of the server, or at least of the person who registered the website.

I don't think there's anything malicious in it, they're just running two separate websites/businesses. I've used Lightake several times, and there's zero risk they're a scam. Abnormal practice, possibly, but I wouldn't hesitate to order from either site. I'd imagine that many employees of both companies are unaware of the link.

Ok thank you, it is just I was going to order from them until I found the 10% trust rating- I've ordered it from zcube and am very pleased with 7 day shipping from China to UK but pleased to know that lightake is ok, but I found now that after 20% discount and buy one get one free mf3rs, zcube is better value- sorry I had to do this on your thread lightake

Yeah, their web sites look identical. MCM pretends to offer paypal - but does not.
Lightake sells all the other 7x7s (Wuji, MF7S, SS, SS mini, Aofu, Aofu GT), but not the Yuxin. Strange.
