My 1st Cube4You Order!!

[Smirtdish]

So I ordered my 1st Cube4You order, and I bought a type F-II. The shipping was really high, double the cost of the cube, lol. So I just decided to choose the Air option for shipping. It said 10-40 days, and I was just wondering if anyone knows about how long it takes for them, if it even has a usually time, or changes all of the time. I just checked usps . com to see where it's at, and heres what I got.

Sooo..... It is preparing to be shipped to me, or some other place before it gets to me? Lol I would appreciate replies, I am new to cubing. =]

Well, if all you had bought was an F-II, then I would think that it would take longer than if you bought a bunch of stuff. Such as the time I bought a cube from them, it took about 2 weeks, but when I bought about 7 items, it came in 3 days.

Did you use the Air option for shipping?

So I just decided to choose the Air option for shipping. It said 10-40 days

OP: You'll most likely be waiting for a month or two. Unless you live in China...
Have fun.

Its on its way to you, or something. Orders from China are really hit and miss as far as how long they take.
You wanna see long, here are the stats on a lightake order that I placed quite a while back:

Yes, its stuck there for over a month now.

Balls...............

It depends, because I ordered from them before and got like 7 items, took exactly a month. Also, I think shipping is slow right now because I ordered a teraminx from Meffert's over three weeks ago and still hasn't come. The status of the package has been "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" for over 2 weeks. The shipping of Cube4you varies at points in time, but who knows.

 

[Smirtdish]

So most likely right now it will take 30+days?

Mine is the same. I dont get why they prepare shipment for such a long time. Like, do they just pile up a bunch of packages and let them sit for no reason? Why dont they ship it?

 

[Zarxrax]

There is really no telling. I've received stuff from China in less than 2 weeks before. But it seems like they have a really big backlog right now or something, and cant handle all the mail.

Yeah, mine has been that way for over 3 weeks. Now I might call USPS to see whats going on.

I've placed multiple orders with several companies over the last 2 months or so. The longest delivery took approximately one month, the two shortest took 1 week and a day.
Cubesmith orders generally take longer than others booking in at around 1 month per order to the Netherlands.

There isnt much that USPS can do about it while its still in China.

I ordered a DIY C4U cube about 3 weeks ago and I just got it yesterday! However, I ordered mine from eBay with FREE shipping. It's AMAZING! There are so many free shipping offers on eBay for Cube4You.
