My experience here was very disappointing, I have been victimized because of the country I am from, My first order was cancelled, and on the second attempt it was processed, no apologies, no nothing, its like my business does not count, and yesterday I did a another order, and they want a copy of my credit card again and ID, I dont have a problem sending a copy of my ID for verification, but my credit card, hell no, the last time I sent a copy of my Passport and my order was process, so where is that information. I have friends who live in other countries who buy on this website and they dont go through these things, so I really think I am victimize because of the country I am from.

Hi Slobodan,

We apologize for all the inconvenience.
As you chose free super saver shipping, it may take 10-20 BUSINESS days which means it can take up to 40 days to deliver. Please note that the delivery time includes processing time and shipping time. And the delivery of the packages is influenced by many factors – especially countries’ customs. If the customer clearance takes a long time, it may cause the delay of package. Super saver shipping company doesn’t update shipping status on their website very often, so the packages can be tracked hardly. Any questions concerning about your order, you can log in and submit a ticket to contact our customer service people for help. Here is the way how you can contact them: http://www.miniinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1169/a2118.html

I regret for my bad comment the other day... My experience with this site is very good. I only waited 1 month (10 days more than the estimated) and i recieved a notice from the Hellenic post office that my parcel has arrived (! SUPER EXCITED!). I took it on July 28th and i unwraped it. The quality of the mechanical watch i ordered is astonishing! Very heavy for 4cm width object, which indicates extreme quality, and it works fine so far! The only disanvantage of the miniinthebox is that they offer poor communication services... they dont even have an email as far as i know... but never mind, i don't blame them. The outcome? I am very pleased and i absolutely recommend buying from miniinthebox. ( P.S.: The mail came via shipping in about 30 days from Hong Kong to Greece)

Hi Daisia,

Sorry for all the inconvenience first. Yes, there should be one item(1900mAh Power Charger External Battery Backup Case for iPhone 4,4S (Black)) is still on the way. As the terms of air traffic control, we cannot ship the battery by air but by sea, it may take a little bit longer, please be a little patient. Thanks for understanding.

Sincerely,
Miniinthebox

I ordered several items back in March, it is now the middle of July. I know it takes time to ship from over seas, but I order from over seas via Ebay, Amazon, and another company where I get my stockings from, and it'll take 4weeks at the maximum.
I would never order from them again, obviously, and I will definitely give a bad review for their lack of feedback as well. Worst experience ever. Save your money and shop Ebay, their sellers for these type of items will at least follow up with a track number.

I love their products, but i am totally upset and will no longer order anything else from this site. My first order i was very pleased with, but unfortunately i am unable to sign into my account, i continue to get a message stating that i have been visiting the site too much, and that i need to input a code, i have tried this repeatedly and yet i am still unable to sign in; there is no one as far as customer service i can talk to... THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS, I WILL NO LONGER SHOP ONLINE AT MINIINTHEBOX!
