Just wanted to thank you guys for your amazing service and website!

Also, how long does rush shipping usually take?

No problem -- we recently ran low on the transparent ones, so we switched over to the white, opaque ones.

However, we've had a lot of feedback from customers saying that they like the transparent ones better. The transparent cards are much more expensive than the white cards, so we just want to make sure that the cards aren't simply being thrown out or discarded. So, if you want to receive a transparent card, just mention it in the order comments and we'll be glad to include the transparent card for you

I still have all of the transparent ones I have received they're sweet.

Thanks for your kind comments The shipping time depends mostly on your location and selected shipping method. The rush processing does improve the overall shipping speed, but it does this by ensuring that the package is packed and shipped as fast as possible (it doesn't affect the actual shipping method). Hope this helps answer your question, and feel free to let us know or email [email protected] if you have any other questions.

I do too, and one of the normal white paper ones too. I have them in the bags with stickers.

Could find any info on what colours your "MoYu Color Scheme" includes.

MoYu Color scheme includes: White, Red, Sky Blue, Fluro Green, Fluro Yellow, and Fluro Bright Orange.

Given that (for some weird reason) I really like Moyu shades, as I can be 1-2 seconds faster on average with them, with the same cube, I decided to test the cubicle scheme for moyu versus the original moyu colors and post this comparison that may be able to help others.
After the cube was stickered I noticed some slight differences, but shockingly the camera sensor was unable to pick them up from any angle, exposure or brightness I could think of.

Spoiler: Side by side comparison

Left: Regular Moyu colors; Right: Cubicle Moyu shades (White, Red, Sky Blue, Fluoro Green, Fluoro Yellow and Fluoro Bright Orange)
The following photos were not resized or edited in any way, to see things in full detail.

Spoiler: White comparison

White is white everywhere. Looks exactly the same.

Spoiler: Red comparison

Same for red. Looks exactly the same kind of red.

Spoiler: Blue comparison

In the picture looks exactly the same. In real life, there is a very minor distinction, sky blue is a little bit brighter, but something so miniscule that it's irrelevant.

Spoiler: Green comparison

Green is different. Fluoro green is considerably brighter than moyu green, although, again, the camera refuses to pick the differences. Moyu green looks a bit more washed up darker fluorescent green than Oracal's fluoro green.

Spoiler: Yellow comparison

There is a difference in the yellows, moyu yellow seems to have less glossy brightness than the fluoro yellow. Reminds me of something you put out in the sun for too long and the colors tend to fade away. Still, it's an ok replacement.

Spoiler: Orange comparison

This is, to me, the most shocking difference in term of colors, which again, the camera just refuses to pick up. It's amazing how the camera sensors doesn't see this. It's clearly noticable the difference and it affects my recognition a bit, so I am not sure this is the best solution in orange to me. Although it may be the best match for Oracal vinyl, it's a big difference to the moyu color. Moyu is more towards a salmon shade, while the fluoro bright orange is more to a fluoro red.
So if you really like moyu orange, you're going to notice a difference.

Spoiler: Scrambled cube comparison

Final notes, tl;dr:

The Moyu replacement shades offered by The Cubicle offers are acceptable, given the fact that the stickers are clearly made by two different manufacturers (and cuts).
In terms of quality, it's Oracal vinyl, can't expect anything a lot better than that.
So if you like stickers that are made to fit the cube, reducing the color gaps between pieces, and if you don't mind to have a slightly brighter and richer colors (specially the orange), it is a good choice.
If alternatively, you want an exact color replacement for all of the Moyu shades, it's not available at this time, except for some of the colors (white, red and blue).

Sure, if you want to pick it up, just mention that you want the items delivered at Nats, and we can arrange that for you.

Thanks very much for posting this detailed comparison of our MoYu shades. Indeed, there are subtle differences in some of the colors, with some colors varying more than others, but we definitely strived to get as close as we could to the original MoYu shades.

But color differences can be subtle, and certain manufacturers only offer certain colors of vinyl, so we were limited by that when trying to recreate the MoYu shades. There's also the issue of the Orange on MoYu stickers changing colors when left in the sun for just a short while. This discoloration doesn't happen with Cubicle stickers.

Thanks again for sharing!

Will the Cubicle have some kind of shop/booth open at Nats, or should we just order through the website and specify that we're picking up at the Comp?

We aren't sure about the booth/shop for The Cubicle at this point -- but there will definitely be members of TheCubicle.us staff present at Nats 2014 at LSC, and we can arrange for the orders to be brought there and picked up if you want.

If I arrange for my order to be picked up at nationals, is there a way that I can pick it up on Thursday?

How soon do you guys think you'll have the SS skewb up to order/pre-order?

Sorry, the earliest items can be picked up would be Friday at Nationals. We won't be around there yet on Thursday.

We just set up the ShengShou skewb pre-order here: http://thecubicle.us/shengshou-skewb-order-p-3254.html

 

[guysensei1]

I think the sticker set that best fits the SS skewb would be the florian mod set.

A quick review of: Thecubicle.us

I deal with online stores quite frequently, whether helping my siblings figure something out, talking to customer support when something went wrong, or otherwise. I have dealt with a few dozen customer service reps from more than a dozen different stores, and I've had varying experiences sometimes from the same company. I can say without question, though, that the cubicle.us has the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Not only were they willing to fix something for me when I made a mistake with the comments on my order, but they then kept me updated when an issue arose before I could ever have known there was a problem! That wasn't it, though. They offered a solution to a problem (that was most certainly no fault of theirs) that would likely have cost them more money, at the same time as they were notifying me of the issue! After all that, they continued to respond to my emails and address a few concerns I had!

Add to this their prices, which, though more expensive up front, beat any other store by a fairly wide margin when you factor in shipping, incredibly wide selection, easy to use interface, and best of all, their stickers (I have them on almost all of my mains, and I'll be restickering the remaining ones ASAP), and you get one of my favorite stores ever!

Thank you so much to Phil Yu and James Chang for setting up thecubicle.us, I hope to shop there again! I've already recommended it to several of my friends!

Not if you specify what color.
