dlder Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 So, I just wanted to add: as posted earlier (https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/274752-cubesim-protection-of-money-just-a-heads-up/?do=findComment&comment=4811227), I've waited about 7 months. But the screens did finally arrive! Granted, I had to pay another 120 fucking Euros in fucking import taxes (bloody hell!), but at least they're here and seem to be working (haven't had any luck with drivers, so they are still unrecognized in the device manager). So yes, CUBESIM is the real deal and not some hack. His "fame" just seemed to take off after some YT reviews and Reddit posts and so he had WAY too much success, so his backlog is intense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Finally got mine but one screen stopped working also got burnt on the import tax too. Check out this Link for drivers.

dlder Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Do your LCDs display color correctly? When I open a fullscreen blue picture, it's displayed as red!? And red looks like cyan?

Oxman Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Cubesim has give me these shipping details for STO Express, as they stated the order gets shipped to Hong Kong first - then to Australia via Fedex or DHL. I have gone to the STO Express website and the shipping number is not correct. What shipping details were any of you guys provided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlder Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 For me it was Fedex and the number was correct; usually you'll have to wait for a day or so until the number shows with the transport company though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlder Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Btw.: if anyone has problems with the display like wrong colors or unreadable text -> the LCDs might not be defective! I have/had this issue and the problem was this: you have to change the amount of color-bits from "10 bpc" back to the default "8 bpc" Took a while until I stumbled over that setting...

Simm0 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I've gotta say I do still find him generally responsive and helpful and my screens did arrive. It is definitely clear he had serious supply issues that he seems to have worked through and now he has a backlog to get through. I'd say once that is done we'll see better things from him.

protea1 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) I suppose one can complain to the Chinese authorities......they are holding lots of funds for many months....without fulfilling their obligations of the orders....! The authorities dont take kindly to BS....gonna look into this further....I wonder how many orders are "pending"? 200? 500? 1000? this adds up to a considerable amount ......just a thought! You hire EXTRA help etc if you are swamped....the covid story is not an excuse....everything back to normal there.... Why take additional orders....if you cant cope? and saying cancel and re-order later? meh! THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT!!!

rapid Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Nothing wrong with saying ...no more orders untill such time to be fair. Then email people back and see if they still require the product when you can supply the goods.

Sure, I guess that's unfortunately something he hasn't done, I will say he seems to be learning on the fly a little here. My point was more we shouldn't be looking to drive him out of business for some errors while he's growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxman Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) This has got more bizarre now. Paypal have refunded the money and then the next day Cubesim claim he shipped the screens! The Fedex number he provide was Hong Kong->NSW, Australia... which is the wrong side of the country! So he had obiviously given me someone elses tracking number. Then he message back and gave another shipping number, now from DHL which appears to be legit as it says Hong Kong->Perth, Australia where I live. Then another message came thorough and he was in a panic as he realised Paypal refunded the money. Now he cannot recall the goods, so he has asked me to pay for the shipping to send to another customer... I have told him after the 4 broken promised delvery dates, endless pushbacks, no reponse to the Paypal dispute, and it took 3 goes to supply the correct tracking number, my trust is broken. I told him I need sometime to think of a solution, as I am not going to take his goods without some sort of payment... but I have never experienced anything like this before. I have screenshots of the conversation on messenger, just in case anyone in the DCS commmunity thought I was a crack pot or being vindictive. I am not trying to drive him out of business, but buyers need to be aware of what exactly they are getiing into. On FB groups, I had a couple of guys claiming I was being unfair as he is Tawian, I have confirmed Cubesim is Chinese based. Australia to china is not that long for shipping as China is our biggest trading partner and we have no shipping issues like the north hemisphere. I am certainly not trying to drive him out of business, but I am providing the material facts of my buying experience.
