Se non fosse per i tempi di attesa della spedizione sarebbe il top! Trovo sempre cose particolari che sono sempre uguali alle foto. Lattendibilità è massima e la serietà pure!

Wanted to exchange 2 out of 3 products I ordered back in Auguest. Because 1 of them I opened, they told me i can only return the 'sealed' items. The items were the wrong size, so I had to return 2.

I returned the items. I logged in to their arduous system today only to find my exchange ticket has been closed. No notification, nothing. This is appalling behavior and I do not recommend anyone should spend money with these people.

Unbelievable.

Canetas
October 7, 2017

Finalmente chegaram as canetas coloridas! Comprei no dia 18/06/2017 e recebi 04/09/2017, valeu a pena a demora pelo custo benefício do produto. Considerando o valor total do pedido, e a sorte de não ser taxada pela Alfândega, cada caneta me custou R$ 1,97, o que aqui no Brasil seria impossível encontrar pelo mesmo valor e qualidade. As canetas são super fofas e as cores são lindas. A tampa de uma delas veio um pouco danificada, mas não interfere em nada ao usá-la. Fiquei muito satisfeita, super recomendo.

Somente a demora da alfândega do país de destino. Demorou muito por aqui... Porém, o produto chegou e é de ótima qualidade. / Only the customs delay of the destination country. It took too long here... But the product arrived and is of great quality.

Ogni volta che acquisto da miniinthebox non rimango mai delusa. I prodotti ci mettono un po' ad arrivare ma sempre e comunque nei tempi previsti. Ho sempre apprezzato soprattutto le cover, economiche e molto carine, mai avuto nessun problema. Consigliato soprattutto come idee regalo.

I purchased a stainless steel FITBIT Alta watch band on 2017-01-12 13:19:38, when it came in it was the wrong band. I contacted the company and was advised to ship it back for a return, they advised to ship by the least expensive means possible. I attended Canada Post and sent it via regular mail February 22,2017 01:10 PM $8 shipping, If i was to send it via tracked mail it would have cost over $60. It took till August 30,2017 for them to receive the package, and after sending them several responses I finally received my refund Sept 28th, 2017.
This type of customer service is absolutely ridiculous. There is no way that this should have taken this long at all. I would highly recommend you purchase items else where to prevent this kind of issue.
