call them up and check , you ordered from scmu?

Yeah, I ordered from SCMU. I asked the folks at SCMU about this and they are saying that It'll will be shipped to my place after it reaches Chennai and that's why the Destination is shown as "Chennai".

WTF! First Flight shows that the package has been delivered. But, I didn't receive any. Moreover, The delivered destination is incorrect.

scmu is good for ordering right?

But, First Flight isn't.

They shipped to the wrong address.

Before someone orders from SCMU, Beware of First Flight. They shipped to the wrong address and the POD says I have received the package. But, I haven't received it yet.

The Tracking page shows my consignment was delivered to Villupuram. But, POD says it was delivered to the right destination.

Does that SCMU site only accepts paypal transactions for debit card purchases? Paypal doesn't work very well with my debit card.

How is Shuangren compared to Zhanchi??
In short, which is better?

Can't decide between: FS 3-Layer ShuangRen Magic Cube Puzzle Cube - White
and 3x3x3 DaYan V ZhanChi Magic Cube Black

BTW, I'm not into DYI cubes.

 

[RCuber]

^^ will check, DIY cubes are much better than regular cubes, these are very fast

Never used any DYI cubes.
So I'm a bit nervous about those.

P.S. what do you use? DYI?

all of my primary cubes are DIY cubes(assembled), almost all models are sold assembled and unassembled. DIY cubes are much smoother and easier to make moves.

Do they make a model out of foam. Which can be flung at a window or LED in frustration..?
