They suck!
April 6, 2020

They sell you something, take your money, give you a tracking number which doesn't work and after 8 weeks waiting for my order, I've realised this is a bull$#*! scam site. STAYAWAY!

Worst service ever
March 2, 2020

Just ordered a simple phone case back in january my payment was received by them january 23 2020.
In their site delivery details are 4-7 business days to process. It is now March 2,2020 and still no product. I paid extra to them for insurance and shipping and cant get a tracking order. A month ago after I emailed after the expected delivery date they said sorry theres chinese new year that affects their deliveries. Bull$#*!. They should not put misleading wrongful information on their site. It's called lying to the consumer and in our country is an offence. They should be pulled from advertising on amazon etc. and should have warnings out there for others who will believe their lies. Not a reputable company and probably lead by teenagers who have other careers in online scams as well.

Site perfeito. Muitos produtos, todos eles bem descritos.
O prazo de entrega não influiu na avaliação, mas ele poderia ser um pouco mais rápido.

I ordered and paid for items on January 30th, paid for express 3-4 day shipping. Here I am on February 12th, 14 days order and USPS still does not have the item. No customer service to talk to at all. But they updated as shipped, it has not shipped, earlier it said shipped on 02/01/2020.
I think this place is fake and a scam.

The product was delivered quickly. The shipping time was bit long, but this it was compensated by the good value for the money paid. The wristwatch was carefully packed
I recommend MiniInTheBox! An online shop full of promotions and a big range of items!

Cheaters!
January 8, 2020

Cheaters! I ordered some toys, I received them after 1 month directly from China (?!), I wasted time at customs, and I paid extra 40% of the toys price in customs and DHL taxes... In the end quality of toys was poor, and also only 50% of the toys were working, the other half were faulty! Be warned! Order from them only if you want to be cheated!

O Miniinthebox é confiável e sempre entregou as mercadorias no prazo estipulado. Sem considerar que é mais barato que os sites concorrentes. Portanto, recomendo a todos.

J'ai commandé à plusieurs reprises, en sachant que ça vient de loin, le délai de livraison est correct, parfois ça n'arrive pas du tout, mais je crois que c'est parce que le paquet est tout petit, dans ce cas il y a un remboursement (mais j'avoue que je n'ai pas vérifié si je l'avais eu), pour moi c'est un bon site, par rapport à d'autres qui sont aussi peu cher, et il y a un suivi pour les colis

Mon colis n'est jamais arrivé et cette compagnie a fermé le lien de ma réclamation sans raison et, depuis, ne me réponds plus.
C'est inacceptable.

Worse online seller ever
October 16, 2019

I bought some clothes and once at home, it was not the size i ordered and not the right color... I tried the customer service and 2 months and 15 e-mail later, they ask me to ship back in china from Canada... 95$ to ship back a 43$ order received with free delivery...

They use shipping technique to sell wrong product and never give your money back.

Worse online seller services i saw in the last decade.
