The petaminx arrives assembled, but unstickered.
I just received a large order from this company, which included a petaminx, 11x11, 9x9, 8x8 and assorted 3x3, 2x2, pyraminx and dodecahedral cubes.
The three Type A cubes (chun 1, cc3 and cc1) were all disassembled, as was the wittwo and all 4 zhanchis, and 3 guhong 2s. The dayan megaminx was assembled (coloured plastic, ridges) as was the MF8 Bauhinia Dodecahedron, but this is unstickered. The 2x3x4, ss 3x3 slideway, ss 3x3 wind, ss mirror, ss 8x8, ss 9x9, YX 11x11, 4x4x5, 5x5x4, helicopter cube and ss 2x2 were all stickered and assembled. I also ordered 2 zhanchi 42mm minis which are in kit form. The SS megaminx, ayi 3 layer cheese are stickered, the petaminx is assembled but unstickered, the master kilominx is assembled (coloured plastic). I also got a master magic, a shenshou pyraminx (stickered) a YJ pyramid puzzle (like an unpillowed pyramorphix) (stickered) and 20 other ss 3x3 cubes (all assembled and stickered. )
I have more on the way (couple of ss v4 4x4s and two type A chun 2s and two of the special cores) which I will report on on arrival.
Hope this helps as regards debate around assembly etc. It never occured to me that the petaminx might be disassembled, but luckily its not. The stickering alone will take a good while, it would have been awful to add three hours assembly as well.
Overall, great company, not ridiculously expensive shipping (cheaper than some other reputable cube stores that advertise on this site), quick response and turnaround, also communicated promptly and helpfully via email. Will definitely use them again.
And yes, this post is partially here because i just had to tell someone about the awesome cube order which just came my way. Cubevana indeed.
