rubikfans on ebay..100% recommended

then there is also dealextreme..theres a DIY type C there with free shipping for only about 6$ i guess
 
I've tried a few so far. here are my personal experiences >

cube4you - good confirmation and quick delivery to the UK, items as described. Very wide variety of products. He will have just about anything you need

huskyomega - very good combo deals, delivery discounts, very fast delivery to UK and fast prompt communication (although Royal Mail have lost the cubes as I missed the delivery by 5 minutes, but that's not his fault.)

puzl.co.uk - good communication, fast delivery, but prices a little higher than others. good quality puzzles though

dealextreme - FREE DELIVERY is so sweet, order came the same week. some puzzles are not good quality but you get what you pay for.

masterthecube - no confirmation, poor communication, made false promises, and I ended up getting a refund after 6 weeks of ordering.

I would order from the others again without a doubt.
 
i LOVE puzl.co.uk. they were soo nice to me when my cube got broken (the morning i recieved it), they just gave me a full refund, no questions asked. the guy who runs it (tony) is really, really friendly too.
i wouldnt mind paying a premium for their kind of service at all.
the studio cube prices are very good too...
 
Cube4you- Loads of products! I have always had all my products ordered in a reasonable time but I have heard many horror stories. But I think overall a good store.
PuzzlePros- Cubes are a little more money and way fewer products but customer service was great and he responded to all my emails the same day I sent them and I got my package within a week of ordering.
 
people who are familiar with puzl.co.uk... is the red cube a type a? i know the competition std cube is a type a with tiles etc, so i assume the red one is too...
 
I've only made one order. from 9spuzzles. other then the poorly designed website it was good. they had better products then the other sites i looked at for what i needed. still waiting on delivery (shipped yesterday).
 
I've mostly obtained puzzles from puzl.co.uk and I recommend them for their professional and friendly service. I'm in the UK and I know that I can get reliable postage from UK retailers but run the gauntlet with overseas purchases! I got my V-Cubes from Verdes in Greece as they were not sold anywhere else at the time. A local Juggling shop has Eastsheen 4x4x4's :) and there's always store-bought Rubik's 3x3x3's available from everywhere!
 
My white competition standard cube has a yellow type a core but when i recently bought a black competition standard cube for my friend it had a transparent core like those in rubiks storeboughts.

I'd also like to know what the red cube is, as I quite want a red type a.

When I tried ordering from 9spuzzles about a month ago It had some wierd glitch in the page where it had flashing bars of white and I couldn't scroll down the page to finish entering my delivery details =(

Click to expand...

Free international delivery was just too tempting and I just ordered this DIY 3x3x3 for £4.40 :D

I will probably order the Square-1 and 5x3x3 for fun if this purchase works out well.
 
i heard that huskyomega's screw&spring sets are very good~~

also, i recommend a very good website:

www.unicube.tw/Cart/Default.aspx

he sells the chinese DIY and, the more expansive ones, the rubik's DIY

he also sells void cube and mirror blocks (bump cube)




did u guyz know that most of the new diy cubes on cube4u are chinese BRANDS??

國甲: DIY cubes that has a extra bump of 'track' on the pieces, and have weird logos 'carved' on one of the center caps (type a on cube4u)
EX: http://www.cube4you.com/393_Black-DIYKit-3x3x3-Cube-II-(a).html
國丙: Type c on cube4u

國優: i'll update later
