The order was led E14 spot lights and a couple of mobile phone silicone covers.
They have been delivered in time and the quality was ok.
The endurance of the lamps is yet to be seen.
Usually there is a customs issue in my country; please add tax insurance just in case.

Peur d'acheter et perdre 25
September 29, 2018

Grâce a PayPal, j'ai récupéré mes 25. Miniinthebox et lightinthebox c'est la même compagnie, en cas de problème ils font trainer les choses.

Je n'ai pas été livré par postnl. Je n'ai reçus aucun mails aucun SMS. Je suis partis en vacances sans ma commande qui devait protéger les jambes de mon fils en. Moto.

Dear customer,

We are afraid that you misunderstood the shipping time of your order.

Please note because the shipping method you chose for this order was Postal Service with tracking. It's the cheapest shipping method we have, while takes the longest shipping time for delivery. It usually takes 12-18 business days (14-26 calendar days) for the package to arrive. And we state it in the shipping method choosing part at the Check-Out page when you placed this order. So it's normal that you still haven't received the package because it's still in transit. And it doesn't provide online tracking service. We guess you might haven't noticed this so you're inquiring about your order.

But we also state the Shipping Time in the Order Details of your account. Please refer to following picture to see the details:

https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/2688ebdd-0385-4af3-9e21-fef14d53e105

Your order was shipped out via PostNL-track on 2018-09-18 with the tracking number RU261510325NL. You may track it here:
https://t.17track.net/en#nums=RU261510325NL&fc=14044

So you shall receive the order before [2018-10-14], which is the 26th day of shipping. Please be kindly waiting for a few more days.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

It's a pleasure to shop with MiniInTheBox and you get the items you order sometimes fast other times a bit slowly, but what you order is a tip top and something should be replaced with a smile. Highly recommend anyone shopping at Mini In The Box

I bought a wrist band the 10th of may to replace a broken one. After a very long delay I did not receive my item yet (nearly 4 months). Now they are telling me than they will ship again the item... Telling me than I would have to wait again for another 21-40 days
(that was the first extimated). If the item is sent again. Maybe I would receive it when I am in the grave.

Dear Customer,

This is supervisor from MiniInTheBox.

I apologize for the delay of the carrier. Normally all Airmail parcels get delivered within 15-25 business days.

I am deeply sorry for such unusual delay. Our Logistics is investigating deeper what happened with the carrier.

Please don't worry, we'll find a solution for your satisfaction.

I would like to help and I have raised this ticket for you, please will you follow up? https://www.miniinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=ticket_after_detail&id=18704284
Thank you very much.
