Hi.
My oder no. **************
I paid twice for an order. I have cancelled them bought but still show pending. Im wondering when should i get the refund? It has been more than 4days now but no response from your company. Its annoying. I might end up contacting paypal and my bank regarding this matter.
I dont know how else i can get in contact with your company
I wish to thanks the supervisor of Miniinthebox, Pinni for big effort she gives to ensure the customer care service. Thanks.
Overall, miniinthebox has so many stuffs which is of much good quality and cheaper.
Error is human, in case of delivery and all. Just liaise with them accordingly and they will provide you a good support.
Regards

I have waited for my items 1 1/2 months and yet I reported it to the seller. They are very active in responding complaints, they told me that they will reship again my items and wait again for another month to be received. Unfortunately, the post office send me a slip that saying, I need to claim it under custom and pay additional amount. The date indicated at the slip was sept 14 and yet today is Sept 22. Almost 1 week my items were slept in custom custody. Shipping fee is FREE and yet so much trouble is happening. I hope those items were good to use and original. Or else, I will never ever order again on this online store.

I brought at least 3 phone cases on the 30th August, where the money was taken from my account and everything. I was then told on the 1st September that my parcel has been shipped and would be here within the 10-20 days. Its now the 20th September. They still have not arrived and it's getting ridiculous. I've ordered from her before and the packages were here well and truly before the time frame given but yet I'm still waiting for this order. I am unable to track it and I have tried emailing miniinthebox to find out where it is yet I have received no reply. At this point in time I would like my money back and there is no way in the future I will be buying from here again.

Don't promise a delivery time frame if it's not going to be shipped as such, that's unprofessional and that's one way of losing your customers. And, stop apologizing for not being on time for deliveries - instead do something about it!
At the delivery some small (but essential) parts were missing. It took some time to come in touch, but after all, the problem was solved very quickly and effectively.
Dear Customer,
We're sorry that we don't use the email address confirmation function any more and we'll remove that button from the website later. So that's why you haven't received the confirmation email, but it will not affect you to receive any notification email from us. Please don't be worried.

Ordered an item (SKU - S*******002)for the first time from them. It took so long to arrive. Each time I logged in to try and contact them - my email address was not recognised or my password wasn't - therefore I did not 'exist'. No other way to chase the order. Eventually contacted bank to request money back - then the item arrived. I contacted bank to cancel the investigation - but now the item doesn't even work properly - so once again - i cannot contact them as no email, phone number or address is available. So once again - its back to the bank I go t request investigation. ARGH! Should have stuck to the ever faithful amazon..
Dear customer, we will contact you in message for the order number
On August 27th I placed an order for ALL my bridal party jewelry. I Recieved an email for confirmation of payment. On August 31st, I recieved an email saying it was shipped. But I Wasn't able to track it And stated it was a carrier I never heard of before it also stated that I would recieve my package by September 5th. September 10th comes and I'm getting worried. My wedding is in 7days at this point. I send an email (there is NO number to call) Exactly 24 hrs later I get a response saying that it was shipped on the 5th with the same unheard of carrier and that I can now track it. I go to track it and it says package NOT FOUND! Still can't track it. Still NOT here. My wedding is in 3 days now and I HAVE NO JEWELRY FOR MY GIRLS.

I ordered something on September 4th and I paid $18 for 3 day shipping. I got an email that my order was shipped on September 5th. So with basic math 3 day shipping means my order would be here the 8th. I really needed for the 9th. It still didn't arrive on the 9th, it's now the 12th and still nothing. I want my $18 back for the 3 day shipping. Every time I click on the tracking number it says I have no account. I'm never doing business with this company again. MinilnTheBox sucks!

I always liked miniinthebox because it's so cheap, although it isn't very good quality, but you can expect that when you see the price. Though I've been meaning to contact them, I really don't understand how you can make a 'ticket' to contact them, its really unclear how to do that.
Update: minion turbo responded very quickly and I really like how they resolved my problem! And that's why I really like miniinthebox too!

Well, they tried hard to fix it. Customer support came through right away and offered to reship or a refund, which I accepted - and the refund arrived a few days later.
My original review: "They either don't deliver or, if at all, very, very late with poor quality products.
This amounts to online fraud, typical of many Chinese companies.
Avoid this company at all costs."

When i first ordered i chose items that said "ships within 24 hours" i was impressed that i could have my items so fast! Apparently that means in 24 hours they put my stuff in a box and sent it away. Do not be confused by this it does not mean you get your stuff in 24 hours i have been waiting for 16 days and when i try to track my parcel it tells me that it has just arrived in Canada same for the past week. I am beginning to hope my parcel was lost and not that it is supposed or even normal for it t take this long.

I originally wrote a negative review for light in the box/mini in the box because I had trouble corresponding with their customer service regarding a return. The matter has since been resolved. I do feel that it was more difficult to to contact their customer service than it should have been and hopefully they can streamline this process in the future. That said, I did get my refund and will consider using using them again.
Dear Customer,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Our website has a "PayPal Checkout" function, even though customers didn't have an account with us, they can check out with their PayPal accounts and paid for the order directly. After the order is paid, our system will create the account automatically, which will be the same account as PayPal. Then customers can use this account to shop in our website in the future.
So although you had an account with us (the account in which you're unable to find out this order), but when you placed this order, you didn't log into that account and meanwhile you used the paypal checkout function. So our system created this account using your paypal account automatically for you, you shall find out the password in this email, so that you can log in our website and find out this order.

Non riesco a trovare il numero ordine xche'dall'altro numero da cui ho ordinato non mi fate più accedere...
Dear customer, will you please send us a private message for the order #? So we may check it first.
This website it's a big scam, the tracking number shows nothing, it's no way to contact this people, they have no contact options, the order shows is shipped but in fact you receive nothing, someone has to do something with them, are many complains and nobody care? Where is the police to investigate all this fraud?
Already escalated the case to paypal, you are a website full of scammers, that tracking number is fake, we can't contact you directly and you answer to us only when we forward the case to paypal because you are afraid. I already contact the the authorities, bad luck for you because i am an experienced IT person who understand very well how this things works. I contact a lawyer and the authorities and together we will investigate your website.

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: They don't want you to contact them. Period! Nobody should order anything from this company!
Answer: And then after first time u send tickets and it still is not corrected there is no more tickets to send. It is a sham
