BEWARE EXPEDITED SHIPPING!

If you order anything over 20$ and you live anywhere outside of China, please be advised that expedited shipping is through DHL and they charge high fees for customs and brokerage. I ordered 3 Wii remotes the total was around 50$ which is good. But DHL charged me 23$ at the door. That completely annihilate the savings on the wii remotes. Yes the package arrived very quickly, but I would have waited longer not to get charged those fees. Regular mail is better.

If you're buying on Miniinthebox thinking your saving money, just be careful about the carrier used!

Other thoughts: One of the remote does not sync with the Wii but I'm trying to resolve that with the company right now, so I don't want to include this in my review.

Tip for consumers:
Pay attention to the shipping method used and don't use DHL expedited shipping if you don't want to get charged excessive customs fees!! If you don't minde the fees and want it fast, then go ahead and use DHL.
