MiniInTheBox Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a predominantly negative reputation among customers, with frequent complaints about delayed shipments, poor product quality, and a confusing return policy. Many customers expressed frustration over the lack of accessible customer support, making it difficult to resolve issues or obtain refunds.

I ordered 2 pairs of headphones 3 months ago. I gave them a month before questioning the whereabouts of my item. I now have a total of 3 opened tickets and they have told me to wait 60 additional days, then 2 additional weeks, and refuse to actually solve my problem (as indicated by the 4th ticket I recently submitted with no response). Will never purchase anything from this site again.

Run for the hills!
August 31, 2017

Firstly the website site stated 8 to 10 days delivery. This was the reason I decided to buy from Miniinthebox. After my 10 day enquiry (having not received my package) I was told to wait 28 days. I waited... Nothing arrived and from there onwards they did not respond at all. Professional thiefs!

2 watches purchased 2 months later neither go. Left a ticket on the website but no reply. Not the way to do business. Be very careful of this website.

Run for the hills.
August 17, 2017

"Based on our knowledge, undelivered packages will be stored at the post office for approximately two weeks. Please contact your post office and refer to your parcel number xxx and name to possibly arrange an alternate delivery or pick-up date."

This is the latest of my lengthy mini in the box correspondence, after I was asked to wait 30 days, and after that 60 for non-receipt of my order, also told that customs might have opened my package. And my order was shipped in error; it had been cancelled within minutes.

I stick to Amazon.

Poor Customer Service
August 16, 2017

I order a small USB cable for around $6. When I hit the purchase button I saw that the cable was the micro USB vs the regular. I saw there was a cancel option before I even closed out the window so I put in to cancel the order. There was a confirmation of the canceled order right away. An hour later they charged my card and then the next day shipped it out. I told them that the order was canceled and confirmed that it was. They said after they shipped it it was to late to cancel. They either have an issue with their order software or decided to ship it anyway since they already took my money. They will not refund my money even if I refuse the package when it does arrive. If you order make sure you never plan to return anything. Once they have your money it is like you no longer exist.

Eccellente
August 6, 2017

Per caso, un po di tempo fa, ho scoperto questo sito e, ritengo sia uno dei più affidabili della rete. Un ottimo compromesso qualità prezzo, tempi di consegna eccellenti e, un buon servizio verso il cliente. Risposte immediate ed esaustive.

Todo o suporte dados pelos funcionários do Miniinthebox são incríveis. De maneira clara e objetiva sempre com respeito ao cliente, isso pra mim é muito e extremamente importante. Em relação a qualidade dos produtos nem preciso falar, todas as 3 vezes que comprei sempre foram excelentes produtos, chegaram bem embalados, não estavam danificados, impecáveis. Parabéns equipe
