I had the same exact problem. I recieved my kit 2 fridays before christmas, I discovered the problem with the screws and I emailed them saturday. They told me about their factory problem and that they would send the replacement screws on monday via "air mail". Now I'm still not clear as to what air mail is because I didn't get them by friday and since UPS operates only on business days (or so I'm told), there was no way I was getting the screws before christmas. I was disappointed because I was going away for vacation and I wanted something to do on the long plane ride. Anyhow, I got back from vacation 8 days later and the screws still haven't come. So I'm not exactly sure what this "air mail" is since it's not the usual shipping that you pay for. I wonder if the screws are coming in a regular letter envelope via regular mail.
Oy, I had high expectations for my 1st experience with Rubiks.com but they let me down. I'm still waiting for the screws. --- In [email protected], "kovacic81" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - > > I wrote about this about a month ago. I got rivets only, adn > unassembled corner pieces.
