And where were these packages ordered from? What shipping method? When were they ordered?

It's not uncommon for China post packages to take ~6 weeks or more.

And stores like zcube use very rough packages, it's a bit hard to tear it up by hand. They also stuff it real good, so the chance that the content gets harmed is minimized. My package was a bit bruised, but still fully intact.

@1LastSolve: It takes usually 3-4 weeks (sometimes 5) for a package from China to arrive me (I live in Germany).
 
I just spend like 100 bucks on dayan cubes and now I'm scared...like this is the most weirdest copyright, I'll just resticker my dayans if they changed the color scheme...Ha foolproof plan!

I believe that dayan agreed to change the color scheme of it, but to what certain colors, I'm not so sure. Except I don't know what's next .-.

Why don't they just use Japanese colour scheme, and since they are Dayan cubes and you can disassemble edges into 2 pieces and corners into 3 pieces, you could just reassemble them the correct way?

I doubt customs officers with no familiarity with cubing will notice that two colors are swapped compared to the "standard" color scheme, and will let the cube go on its way.

Foolproof? You mean you're going to bust into customs to resticker it just so it doesn't get destroyed?
 
I just read about this, and I'd like to ask, does this mean all new stickerless Dayan's now have a purple colored side? :(

IIRC, the Japanese color scheme was actually the original color scheme. It was later changed by people in the Americas, but I don't remember all the details :p

Actually, as I understand it, Japan and the USA were the two locations which had this color scheme (on official Rubik's cubes) in the early 1980s. I have heard people say that some of the early cubes in the USA were of the more common European color scheme, but I have never seen an early USA cube with that color scheme. I have two Rubik's cubes from 1981 with the original stickers on them (never peeled! :)) and they both have the "Japanese" color scheme.

I'll probably bring one of those cubes to WC this year, if anyone would like to see. They're in amazingly bad shape - the pieces rattle when you shake them.
