Can someone please clarify for me if Ziicube is a legit cube shop and not a scam, and if so how would you rate it. I am okay with long shipping times which is to be expected from ordering really cheap cubes from china.
It's a legitimate cube store, stuff arrives but things can take a long time to arrive.Can someone please clarify for me if Ziicube is a legit cube shop and not a scam, and if so how would you rate it.

Does anyone know where to buy a transparent aolong besides cubezz?
I haven‘t tried it, but other people say it’s legit. And btw, also legit websites can sell stuff for 6 dollars and still be legit...So I seen a post on the pricing scheme of this website and googled it. I found ziicube.com. It sold things for $6. Is this actually legit or did I go on a fake one?
I've heard many people use this site and it's confirmed to be legit. I'm torn right now. I prepared a very large non-wca and random 2x2/3x3 shopping cart of the same items on both sites. I found that between ziicube and the cubicle, even after a 7% discount code and claiming my cubicle rewards, I could save $51 dollars by buying from ziicube. Yes this is after shipping costs (shippingn would be $78 and is included in these prices). Ziicube = $258 cart. Cubicle $350 cart but 350*0.93*.95=$309 or $51 more expensive after free shipping and discounts. It's a sizeable16.5% savings on my domestic cubicle based order. Is it worth it?!?! Hmmm...
Edit: Just working through my thoughts.
...I've thankfully reached a point in my life that I no longer need to shop 100% based on price. What is the benefit of purchasing from ziicube? The only benefit is that I save $51 but have to wait weeks for my cubes to arrive, a con. But waiting in this case is no problem at all, rather inconsequential. In contrast, I feel the cubicle benefits my local, be it Colorado or US, community. I watch and enjoy their videos often. They sponsor many cubers I enjoy following and find inspiring. The cubicle sponsors competitions that although I have not attended I think adds tremendous value to the community.
An interesting dilemma. The more i think about it I'm not sure the savings are worth it for me. I'm sure it is for some though. Rant/ramble over.
I personally wish that there were cube manufacturers within the US, so that I wouldn't have to feel like I'm not supporting the US economy. I do order from TheCubicle, though, because that does benefit the US economy as well as, like you said, supports cubers that are inspiring to all of us. I have placed a couple orders at SpeedCubeShop, and the shipping time is about the same for me, occasionally TC is a day faster, but I like the layout of their website more, and I enjoy watching their YouTube videos much more.I've heard many people use this site and it's confirmed to be legit.

I could see how Ziicube is highly attractive for European buyers. I was playing around with the shipping prices to a few European countries and the $78 shipping to the US was dropping by around 30%-50% and thats some significant savings. It does seem like a highly competitive and great store for many of us.For people from Europe, ZiiCube is a great option as, not only the prices are very attractive, but after you become a VIP they are even better, plus the delivery is about 10 days, and there are no additional taxes.
KewbzUK? They sell TC and SCS lubes.Since there is no lack of European speedsolvers, it's a bit sad there is no equivalent to TC or SCS for Europe. I mean not only a domestic retailer but one that sponsors cubers, produces premium cubes, and in general supported the community. Well there's this one Polish company that makes their own lube but it seems speedcubers from Europe will still use TC or SCS premium cubes because they're sponsored.
Yeah, but they don’t make their own. He means that there should be a cube retailer in Europe that is as innovative as TC and SCS.KewbzUK? They sell TC and SCS lubes.
