Before Purchase
1. Is it safe to shop online at Speedcubestore.co.uk?

Paypal is the world’s leading secure online payment system, and you are fully guaranteed by PayPal’s Buyer Protection. The reality is that shopping online is known to be more secured than placing an order over the phone and providing your billing information to a random agent whom you do not even know. You can rest assured that it is SAFE to shop online at Speedcubestore.co.uk.
2. How do I make a purchase?
There are 5 simple steps:

3) – Click the “Checkout” button;
4) – Enter your shipping information and click the “Confirm Order” button;

3. What’s payment methods?
– For retail: We use PayPal’s secure interface to accept payment. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use Visa, MasterCard or American Express via PayPal. Note that you are NOT required to open a new PayPal account just for this purchase.
Note: Sometimes PayPal is too strict and may reject your credit card even though it may be a valid one. Unfortunately, that is beyond our control and we suggest that you try another credit card instead.
