cubezz is not that much cheaper than TC... how long does shipping take?

Could you elaborate on this? Most puzzles there are cheaper than TC by a decent amount. Shipping is free, but it could take anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 months (I almost waited 3 months last year).

I was looking at the MGC 2 Elite, and it is only 4 dollars cheaper. TC offers a better price than that when its on sale. Plus, TC has 7% off codes and a rewards program

Fair point. Maybe if you want to order 1 or 2 puzzles you can use Cubezz (since a discount isn't significant with small orders) and take advantage of free shipping since you have to spend $45 or more on TC. But then for larger orders, I see why it's better to use TheCubicle.

If you're ordering just the one cube, don't forget to add $4-$7 for shipping from the Cubicle in order to make it a fair comparison.
If you're order $45 or more so you get free shipping, the Cubicle is absolutely the better option except in rare instances. You'll pay a little more but you'll get the cubes A LOT faster.

Agreed. And at this point, I'm fine with paying 3-4 dollars and get my cubes in 4-5 days than save $5 but wait 5 weeks.

I don't understand why it takes so long to ship from/to USA.
When I buy from ZiiCube to France, I receive my order in 10 days.
When I buy something from USA, it takes 5 weeks, with my order staying for no visible reason 4 weeks in the USA.
President Trump is right: the US postal service is terrible.
To be honest, the last time I've ordered some nice playing cards decks from Theory 11, my shipment stay "only" 20 days in a storage near Atlanta then 10 days somewhere in Germany. But why Germany?… At least, it avoided dangerous places like Uganda.
When I order from ZiiCube, my shipment goes straight from China to Paris.

Maybe the U.K still holds a grudge with the Americans and told the Royal mail and every other mailing service in Europe to delay packages.

I think so, they are based on Hangzhou too whereas ziicube are based in Hong Kong, I think ziicube are made more competitive for european orders because of that, shipping is cheaper from Hong Kong than from mainland China from what I've noticed.

I think it has to do with maybe customs. I think maybe China has special postal systems to speed up delivery because China does so much more exporting. Actually idk

I agree. I have a small business I run on the side, and I ship to different parts of texas. For me, USPS has better pricing then Fedex and others (I have tried alot), and my customers always recieve the package in less than 5 days, and usually 2-3 days.

Ziicube is super slow to ship to India. Plus customs itself takes a month worth of time. It is just better to order from Cubelelo.

I don't have a local Speedcubeshop, so I sometimes order from Ziicube for half of the price or sometimes even less of our national stores.
Sometimes you find clearence items for not much more than the shipping costs.
For Switzerland they say the cheapest shipping will take from 13-30 days but my last two orders arrived within a week an even had tracking.
Shipping costs add around 3-5$ for each cube dependig in the weight of an item.
What I don't like about Ziicube is that they don't sell lubes. The weight and shipping would be minimal but they just don't have it, so I need to order them separatly from somewhere else.
