Popbuying has good cubes?

[Steyler]

popbuying is really good. i ordered an eastsheen 2x2 type a v diy and a magic and they're pretty good

I ordered a black and a white 60mm mini QJ 4x4 and a screw/spring 2x2 cube from popbuying.com .

Order date was Nov 24.

I have heard that the mini QJ's are a bit stiff. But I like cubes that way. And I want to see if the reports on the screw/spring 2x2 are true or not.

my popbuying order arrived yesterday!! or ordered exactly a week ago.
their shipping is sooo fast!! (c4u, in comparison, is extremely slow)

Anyone bought any of these?

Is it really what they say (type c, etc.)? Are they as good as they should be?

I have gotten the type C and the type A V. They are both what they say and very nice quality.
Please note that some of the type Cs are 1.5 and some are 1.

i ordered on November 9th, and I still haven't gotten my order. I don't expect anything better though, as I've never gotten anything I ordered within a month of ordering.

I agree! Especially with bigger cubes like 4x4x4 onwards, it makes the cube feel nice and the layers are easier to align.

On topic:
I made an order on popbuying a while ago (yesterday maybe? I can't remember...). A white type C kit, a transparent blue Maru and a white Maru.

Shipping from overseas to Australia is pretty fast, and we have a fast (as far I know) postal system. From China (like Mefferts or C4Y orders), it takes about 1-1.5 weeks to get here. From America (like Cubesmith orders) it takes about 2 weeks to get here. Hopefully orders from popbuying will be just as fast.

Here's the transparent blue one and the white one

But they're 30mm across, according to the page, so I don't know if you'd consider them "DIYs" because they're small.

They are adjustable, so techinically they are DIYs.

It's been 4 weeks now and my mini QJ 4x4 still hasn't came in.

So dealperfect and popbuying are run by the same people, but are focalprice and dealextreme related?

I heard that dealextreme and dealperfect used to be the same company, but there was a split and they became two different shops.

Dealextreme and Focalprice are unrelated, as far as I know. Dealperfect and Popbuying were once just Dealperfect, but because of complications with their paypal account, they split into Dealperfect and Popbuying.

BUMP:

Popbuying.com seems to have genuine Rubik's DIY cubes.

Can anyone confirm this?

[daniel0731ex]

looks like JSK, but obviously isn't

so it means that this is the 2009 model rubik's diy

Everyone's talking about the Mini QJ 4x4 from popbuying and I really want one.

Just like to confirm which is the mini qj?

Is it this one??

 

[jiknm]

No its the one with thick tiles that look like foam. I think its black patch 4x4. anyway its says QJ on the tiles

 

[Toad]

Yeh but that's not a mini QJ...

It's been 4 weeks now and my mini QJ 4x4 still hasn't came in.

^^ He seems sure it was a mini QJ he bought...

EDIT: It's just been confirmed to me that the one I linked IS a Mini QJ so I'll be ordering it now.

i don't really trust websites that don't specialise in one thing (popbuying).
if you were to buy it from popbuying you might aswell use ebay but i think popbuying is still okay cos i've heard good reviews so far...

but i buy my cubes from C4U and soon i'll get some cubesmiths stickers! =D

For what it's worth, I ordered 2 Maru 2x2's on Nov. 7th and received them on Nov. 22nd. They were both great, but during normal solving about a week later my brother's broke while he was solving it, and then same happened to me the next day. Not sure how much that really means but I figure I'd at least post and let you take from my experience what you will.
