Gracias a Miniinthebox logré comprar artículos súper baratos sin necesidad de ir a la tienda de mi casa y donde pagaría el doble. Me siento muy satisfecha con el producto y el servicio. Si tu quieres comprar artículos baratos y que llegué el producto estás en el lugar correcto. Ahora voy a ordenar más!

The site offers several products, with great price, impeccable communication and 100% guarantee. I already bought several products and all arrived right and well packaged. The custom accessories are the best in my opinion.

Eu recomendo MiniInTheBox porque sempre encontro no site produtos de ótima qualidade, sem similar no Brasil. Então, todas as compras são esperadas com ansiedade. Embora a distância faça as encomendas demorarem a chegar, o sistema é muito bom com frete grátis e bons preços dos produtos. Pode confiar.

Hola,

Mi experiencia con ellos fue malisima, el paquete se envio via postal acelarado y nunca llego a su destino.

Al consultar se me indico que "estaba irremediablemente perdido" y a que a menos que estuviera asegurado no se podia hacer nada.

Eviten realizar la compra en esta tienda, a mi me estafaron y publico este comentario para evitar que a otros les suceda.

Saludos,
Bryan

Estimado Bryan,
Este es el supervisor de MiniInthebox.

Lo siento por la incomodidad. Tenga en cuenta que los resultados de su paquete se entregan: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?tLabels=9274890204310805903923

Sin embargo, dado que no ha recibido, nuestro gerente de logística se está comunicando con el operador para investigar el problema. Entonces ofreceremos una solución válida para su caso, por favor no se preocupe.

Me gustaría ayudar y he presentado este boleto para usted. ¿Podría hacer un seguimiento? https://www.miniinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=ticket_after_detail&id=18535844
Muchas gracias.

I received my purchase

Updated review

I might have been to quick to complain and write a very negative review. Probably I became too worried after i had seen so many people complaining for items not being delivered.
Finally my order was delivered 30 days after order day.
Not sure if things got better after I officially complained or simply all deliveries take indeed too long to be delivered.

My initial review: I don't really understand why google search brings them as first result when looking for e.g. mobile phone cases. They are scam. They keep finding ridiculous reasons to say the delivery is delayed.

I highly advise AVOID MiniInTheBox and LightInTheBox, They are SCAM. Ordered "one plus two original flip cover with auto sleep item to India with Express delivery. Order number is ************** But they sent flip cover for one plus five mobile. That also not related with description what they mentioned in the product details., But I Opened a ticket to discuss this with seller, all i got in return is automated response and resolved status on a ticket. SCAM! Do not trust them, they are frauds. I highly suggest not to waste your time and money, order from somewhere else. Totally cheating.

My initial review was less than favourable due to a poor response by one of their customer representatives when I complained about their poorly highlighted import duties, but I have since been contacted again by a much more helpful individual who has refunded these duties. The products themselves are quite decent and so far have lasted well, and a good range of watch straps are available.

Dear customer, this is supervisor from Mininthebox.

Firstly the taxes is noted in our knowledge base as below: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1229/a3021.html

And in the first year since the company established, we noted that EU taxes is heavy. So 3 years ago, we had this EU duty insurance service as it is shows below once you check out: https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/b09ca8dc-93d2-4d86-a499-765115f6f4fa

For customers who had this duty insurance, we will fully refund duty cost if it is occurred.

We are sorry that Hazem didn't offer help, but please don't worry, after view your case, I had conducted ticket ID=17949619# in our ticket center and offer a solution for your case. Please log in your account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Please keep in touch with us by replying the ticket as all the information will be recorded in system. Thank you for your cooperation.
