Hi! Do you know when you may have 100ml maru and teal weilong gts'? Thanks and sorry if I am asking about this too much. I hope I am not bothering you Also, do you know if shengshou legends are any good for modding? Thanks!

 

[martywolfman]

teal weilongs are on the way as we speak, at an airport in china - the 100ml maru lube won't be for a few weeks at least I'm afraid.

I would think the legends would be good for modding - the mechanism parts of the pieces are small, lots of space to cut bits off and sand things down

You're not bothering me at all - I wouldn't be much of a business owner if I wasn't willing to answer questions about my products

Will you stock stickets son? I think I am gonna need som for a YouTube video

 

[martywolfman]

No, not quickly I'm afraid, it will be some time before I can gather the funds for sticker cutting.

 

[IamSpeedcubing]

Man, I can really see this business develop. And this will also help the cubing community here grow. I do admit, it will be cool to be able to buy cubes, lube, stickers , logos etc. all in one place. I am thinking of getting a teal weilong gts, maru ( I will settle for 10ml ) some legends or some other cubes for nodding and some yj inequilateral cubes soon. Wow, I really am happy to have someone I trust to buy cubes from. So, would you reccomend the legend over a sail, yulong, guanlong or fire? Man, I cannot wait to get to mkaing yt videos. What editing software do you use? Also, what lighting and camera quality would you reccomend? Thanks! May I ask how a sponsorship would work? Like a cubicle one, where you get sent cubes, or like a speedcubeshop one, where you get a special discount code?

 

[martywolfman]

I didn't know how either of those work, but you would get sent cubes

Personally I like the legend best of the budget ones. They are all good quality for the price, though obviously not up to the standards of the Weilong GTS. But I like the feel of the Legend. It can corner cut almost 45 degrees and about half a cubie reverse. I would choose a Guanlong in second palace to it.

Lighting, as much as you can get. I started out with nothing, and the videos were really bad

For a long time I just used a desk lamp, and fore the first few years I was just using a cheap fujipix digital still camera. My camera now is 1080p, but at the budget end of the market. Lighting I bought a couple of cheap soft boxes off ebay (about £25 I think) and they improved the quality of my videos dramatically. All I would say, is use the best you can afford, it makes a difference.

I understand but maybe stickersheets?

I like making carts of what i want but when i ask to estimate shipping cost, it says 'Unfortunately one or more items in your cart can't be shipped to your location. Please choose a different delivery address.' if i have more than 9 products. Could you explain why ?

 

[martywolfman]

It's when the weight gets over 2kg. I need to create a workaround for that. Royal mail, that is used to calculate the shipping only transport items up to 2kg. It can be sent with other companies but it is a lot more expensive, and I'll have to create a different price for each country at various different weights. I will hopefully get to it over the next week while I'm off work

Having said that, if you want to actually buy that many puzzles, you can contact m,e for a quotew privately, I can always send a paypal invoice for the amount, but you would likely be better off making 2 separate orders, because the shipping cost jumps up dramatically over 2kg

 

[SimonV]

I'l most likely not be allowed to order that many puzzles but i just wanted to let you know, i thought it was a malfunction or something.

 

[martywolfman]

Fair enough. It's not good that it happens, I definitely need to sort it out, it may actually stop people from buying at some point.

 

[SimonV]

I would just put an explanation with it so people know why that comes up on the screen.

 

[martywolfman]

I wish there was a way for me to do that with this software

 

[Kotra25]

I always wondred why the site said that and now i know thanks for asking and answearing.

Can the software not configure it as two separate parcels automatic?

 

[martywolfman]

Not automatically, no. all it does is add up the weight, look at royal mail, and see what Royal Mail charges to send that weight. It sees the weight as being over 2kg, Royal Mail don't transport international Mail over 2kg, therefore it just says we can't ship this. There are no special cases built in, I will have to set up each country individually.

Hi there,

I have seen the store and it looks great! Just to ask, will there be any G3 timers at some point.

 

[martywolfman]

Thanks

I'd like to get timers in stock, but it won't be in the immediate future I'm afraid.

 

[IamSpeedcubing]

You might as well just get the gen 4 if you will be getting timers. Any updates on teal weilong gts and 100ml maru? Thanks!
