Great Experience. Placed around three to four different orders from Miniinthebox so far. The products have been good and their customer service has been great. I would both recommend and order from their again.

Miniinthebox.com is a great website with a lot of items from cellphone case to camping equipment to pet supplies or LED lights at really good prices. Take a look and I'm sure you'll find something you want or need while liking most of their prices.

Prompt delivery and good packaged shipping for anti-damage are the plus points and more than that variety of products can be found in the site, more useful than any other shopping site and i am excited to shop more.

Make sure you can see the complete product before you order it. I ordered 4 potentiometers for use with an Arduino and the product they sent was actually a switch. I asked them to send me the right product and they swear it's a potentiometer. Ugh. It could just be a translation problem but I definitely won't order from there again.

I have ordered five products from MiniInTheBox. Two of them had problems so I contacted the customer service and they agreed to give refund without any discussion. So good customer service. For the remaining products, I did not have any problems, they are working fine and they are quite cheap based on their functionality. I recommend MiniInTheBox.

Am using the company for years and don't experience any problems. Good customer service and quick replies as well. Orders are dispatched quickly, but of course it takes some time for them to travel from China to Europe.
