Well since some cubes are twice as expensive as on other sites, i don't thin extremely expensive is that overused here. Even if i use extremely expensive, that doesn't mean the site is bad or whatever.

$10 for an AoLong (which is actually on sale at CubeZZ, who knows what they normally sell it for) vs. $16 at cubicle is twice the price? That's the example you gave before.

Ok, I am going to give my thoughts on this.
TheCubicle.us is a store that offers free shipping, which is actually insanely fast. Only once where it took more than five days (due to a shipping problem) for any package of any size to arrive, and it is normally much earlier than expected.
Whenever a faulty product is received, they do so much to correct the problem.
They give so much back to their customers, by sponsoring contests, competitions, and having contests of their own! Whenever they give out an opportunity to test the product, they give you discounts in return! They give so much back to the customers.
The Customer Service is very speedy. I normally get responses in less than a couple of hours when it comes to a problem or an inquiry.
So you think that all of this work put into an online shop makes their prices, which are two dollars extra, too expensive?
Okay, that is your opinion.

There is a point missed here. Ordering chinese puzzles from the U.S. when you live in europe suggests personal issues that are best not discussed. I do order from cubezz and there is very little chance of seeing it in 3 weeks to Canada. China to Canada regular post is occasionally 3 weeks but usually 5-6 and if an order fails, which does occur then 10-12. I personally am not in a rush BUT most people want their purchase fast. I haven't figured out how the Chinese manage to ship so cheaply. If I had to ship the same item from Canada it would double the price to the customer. To ship a pallet of plastic toys from China to Canada would not be bad but the shipping of individual items from here to anywhere would kill any opportunity on low margin items.

Thanks everyone for discussing and offering their opinions regarding this issue. We are humbled by the support that many posters have shown for our store.
To put this issue to rest, we just want to offer a few responses regarding where we stand. TheCubicle.us was never meant to compete with China-based stores on price alone. We are located in the USA, and not China. Simply put, the business environment is different in these 2 countries. Some stores that can operate in China probably wouldn't last very long in other countries due to government regulations and other costs.
Furthermore, we do our best to add unique value to the products that we carry in many ways, as many of the posters have already pointed out. To summarize, TheCubicle.us offers:
Due to socioeconomic differences across the world, there may be cubers who don't have as much choice where to shop, and we certainly understand that. But for those who do have choices, TheCubicle.us strives to offer more than just the cubes. This, in conjunction with the loyal support of our customers and fans, is what helps make TheCubicle.us one of the leading cube stores out there today.

Again, you act as if i'm saying this site sucks. It's a fact that it's expensive, since some sites are half the price of this one, that doesn't mean this is a bad site. I just prefer medium shipping time and medium customer support and lower prices. This is still an awesome site, but it's also a fact that it's expensive.

10 * 2 = 16?
Yes i perfectly agree with that, this site is indeed great for those things, with the extra parts, stickers and so on, and i also support this site for those reasons. I just don't get why a lot of people got mad for me stating a fact.

Because you didn't state a fact, you stated an exaggerated claim without supporting it with evidence. It also didn't offer anything to the discussion about thecubicle. If someone browsed through and saw your statement and the rest of us didn't respond by showing support, maybe they wouldn't buy from thecubicle.

I wasn't really getting mad at you.
It is just your quick run in on "expensive" when you aren't looking at the benefits that come with the slightly more valuable purchase.

Hey I would like to take a minute and say thank you for the great work over there at the Cubicle, I live in Washington state and I always get my orders within a day or two of it being sent, that is amazing for free shipping. Also your customer service is top notch, I've bought a ton from you guys and regret every time i don't. keep up being the best.

Could find any info on what colours your "MoYu Color Scheme" includes.
edit: Also what colours would best match the Calvin's Sq-1 original stickers best?

Here's my complete lube comparison of all the lubes available at thecubicle.us. I hope you like it!

Great video for explaining all of the different types of lube offered at TheCubicle.us -- thanks again for taking the time to make this video!
The Ghost Cubes are currently out of stock. If your address is U.S.-based, we would ship the other items first, and then ship out the Ghost Cube once it comes back in stock. For addresses outside of the U.S., we would have to wait until the Ghost Cube comes in stock before we shipped out the order. If you prefer to have the other items shipped first, please place 2 separate orders -- one for the Ghost cube alone, and the other for anything else you would like to purchase.
Unfortunately, we don't know when the Ghost Cube will come back in stock, but we do know it will eventually come back in stock -- probably within a month or so.

When shipping cubes out, do you switch between the transparent and opaque business cards. I've seen other cubicle unboxings with the transparent ones but I don't get the cool new ones.

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
