What is Cube4you Free Shipping like?

[AsianCubing]

Hi guys,
Sorry if the title doesn't fit into this category but I wasn't sure which one to put it in.
And also I am sorry if this thread has been posted before, I could not find one that is like this.

I'm going to buy 8 items from Cube4you ($55.66 AUD) There were 4 options for shipping:
EMS - $30.33 AUD [1-2 Weeks]
UPS - $30.70 AUD [3 Work Days]
AIR - $23.79 AUD [10-45 Days+]
Free Shipping - $0.00 AUD

I'd probably go for free shipping, since it is free... But I am not sure how good it is. If it comes quickly, or if they treat the package with care. I don't want my package to come all broken up etc.

So if you know what the quality of free shipping is on Cube4you, please post a reply below.

Thanks for your time,
- AsianCubing

Cube4You isn't really a great store for orders. The owner is generous (I ordered a DIY from them and they even sent me over an entire set of screws and springs), but the amount of time for shipping just isn't worth it. Even if you don't live in America, the US based stores will most likely ship much faster.

Unless you don't mind waiting around a month for it then it's good but if you want them semi quickly I would reccomwnd you use a local cubing store. In your case that would be the store run by Tim major I don't have a link but you can search around.

Shipping time is very long, i would say upwards of 2-3 weeks. I don't really know much about lost packages or anything, but the couple times i have ordered from Cube4you i recieved everything i ordered. I would reccomend a different store, but that's your choice.

If you guys recommend different stores, which ones would you recommend? Cheap and decent shipping and decent prices for cubes.

If the shipping on other stores are too pricey, I might only buy 2 2x2s, 2 3x3s and a 4x4.

Well it'd reach you in 1 day from me

Or if you want to come to the meetup at Melbourne Central this Sunday at 11:30, you could get the "in person" prices listed after every item.

I would go, but I've got a soccer match every Sunday.

Shipping is very long. Plus they won't even put bubble wrap or anything. I ordered a DIYkit and it came in a cardboard box, and the DIY inside, no packaging
