Beware of thieves! miniinthebox.com is stealing your money! I paid €450 - received wrong items, they don't reply and don't care!
I paid 372,52€ to miniinthebox.com for 8 LED ceiling bulbs (beginning of February). They sent me 7 bulbs - 4 of which are the wrong ones. I repeat: not what I paid for, not what I ordered! Yet I had to pay another €87 for customs. But the worst part is yet to come: they don't reply nor care about what I am emailing them: at first they told me I had to send them photos, details, etc. of the products - a question which I followed of course. Nothing after that - I have sent them an incredible number of 11 (!) emails within the last 8 weeks - no reply. (mid April!)
However, when I told them 2 days ago that I was going to complain on as many review pages as I found, they answered they I should be patient in waiting. Nothing else. I feel truly deceived and disappointed. Keep your fingers from miniinthebox.com. They steal your money - if you have a problem, they don't bother to help. Now I am here with the wrong light bulbs and paid more than €450 (!) for them. What a shame and a waste of money! I wish I had read reviews like that before!
And to Miniinthebox.com: only when I either get my money back or get the correct products shipped to me I will take down this comment.
Can't get cust. Ser. Can't get tracking # of my order. They took my money & i have no product yet. Also no phone # avail. I'm beginning to think their a RIP OFF!
I've bought some products from them last year twice and i really like their service. Free delivery took less than 30 days which i think took 22 days only and all the products i've received in good condition. Would surely buy from them again!
Purchased about 50 g4 leds in October 2012. In less than 4 months about half have leds that no longer light. 7 day return policy. POOR QUALITY PRODUCTS!
I will never buy from them again.
I have to say that they have the most unfriendly customer service I have ever experienced. Their unwillingness to work with customers, especially first time customers who are going out on a limb to give you business, is appalling. When asking if I could pay extra to have my gift shipped before Christmas a couple weeks ago, the only answer I got was "no we cannot". Then, we asking if I could cancel my order, the response I got was "we can't do that". Plain and simple. No apology, no help whatsoever. I know my photo order had not been started yet, if they are busy trying to get Christmas orders out and my wasn't planned to be shipped until January, so I don't understand why the cancellation was a problem. I am now ordering 2 more photo calendars from Walgreens, who I can count on to get my gifts to me on time. It's a shame that I try to support small business, but end up having to use a big chain because of their level of customer service and reliability. Needless to say, I will never be using their services again.
My husband ordered me a tablet from Lightinthebox.com last year which is related to miniinthebox.com and I have enjoyed the tablet but since it came with no name brand it was difficult to find replacement charger or any information about it online for support when I needed it. The tablet has been finicky and the battery drains super fast, but for the price not too much complaining can be done I suppose.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a miscellaneous group of items from miniinthebox.com and the shipping was really fast, service seemed excellent. The products were not very well packaged, not always the best deal on price as I came to find out later (some of the items I found days later packaged properly rather than wrapped in cellophane in a dollar store for at least seventy five cents less per piece), and very poor quality in most cases. I ordered batteries - they are really soft, easily bent, and fast drain. I guess you get what you pay for. I would say that I like the store as far as online China wholesale shippers go, but I doubt that I will do much more buying there.
I could not be more pleased with this company the products are what they say they are & all my questions were answered when i had one on a item before i ordered iit & you can not beat the prices. THANKS Mininthe Box you are a fresh breath of air!
Great quality for surprisingly low prices. And shipping is free. My friends and I ordered so many things there already. Minus is that we have to wait for about a month for parcel to be delivered, but it worth it.
It's been a pleasure shopping with Miniinthebox.com as all items are affordable, unique and all come along with an excellent customer service.
I will definitely purchase another order soon and my colleagues are all excited to visit the site that I recommended to them as they were fascinated with the items I've got:)
Thanks MiniInTheBox... You're The Best!

The trial with less than 20$ request items came down to my door step after flying more than 5000KM was an astonishing experience. Further I had done with the trail of shopping worth of approxs; 500$ various products with several orders were truely unforgettable experience. Many of the orders were recieved within 10-days and now the whole family & company personals are shopping from home through this site.

I purchased this product for my granddaughter and she was so excited to have such a funky cover for her ipad. The only one in her class with such a cool cover. I was impressed with the quality of the product and have ordered another one.
This site has 1000's of items for sale! Anything you could imagine and then some! Very cool stuff. Super cheap and free shipping! I got all my orders delivered even without extra ensurance shipping. Secure and safe packaging for the orders, nothing broke. I Highly recommend it. Peter, Denmark.
This is my first time to buy a watch from them, they have a great selection and great prices. With free P&P with the watch I bought, but I also think it applies to all watches. I will buying more from them.

Answer: Just Block the email, that's what I did.
Answer: I just dragged their email into my spam folder. The filter on my account then did the rest.
Answer: I had a delivery problem with them, didn't get all the stuff i paid for with Paypal. As soon as I contacted Paypal to complain, Miniinthebox refunded me very quickly for the missing items. They fear Paypal it seems...

Answer: I am really sorry for this unusual situation. I feel really sorry for any confusion about tax. Please allow me to remind you that this matter is well discussed on our F. A. Q section, as you may see at https://bit.do/litb-tax In fact, since the first year we've established our company, we noted that taxes under some countries can be heavy. That's why we created an insurance against tax, available at checkout to orders from most Countries. You can easily add it when you place your order. Please check this example out: https://bit.do/tax-insurance I really appreciate your time and comprehension. If you need anything else, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you.
