I recently received my order from 1minime.com. VERY disappointed. There was a visible paint flaw on the face of one of the figures--where it looks like a paint touchup using a different shade of paint. The other figure was poorly painted on the torso (leaving blank spots) and there were scuffed paint marks. Also, the base did not allow for attachment of the two figures. Apparently, according to their response email, this would "ruin the beauty of the piece". They are SUPOSSED to be attached! They don't stand up on their own!!!
I emailed them re: these issues--and their response: "this is a handmade product, and you can't be assured of the quality of a factory made item. Here's a $5 paypal credit". I paid over $180 USD for the statue and shipping--and they offered $5 as compensation through paypal? I don't even HAVE a paypal account! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Do not waste your time or your money with this company. They have shoddy customer service--and the items are passable at best.

I agree that these models aren't perfect, but I wasn't expecting that. What I did expect was for my model to come with glasses as my in my photo. They told me that I should have specifically pointed this out to them! At each stage of validation you are specifically asked to comment on the shape and colour. I asked them if they could send on the glasses or where I could purchase them, to which I received a defensive response. Clearly they need glasses!

You can try this website if you want to purchase Chinese items. www.periwing.com. This website is really a amazing website. I have purchased some Chinese dresses from this website. They are in high quality. But the price is really low.
The most important thing is that their customer service is very good. Let you don't have any hesitation to purchase the items from them.

I've also been having MAJOR problems with this company. I paid $10 extra to have unlimited communication with the artists, but could not get a response after several attempts to communicate with them. They then just pushed ahead the project to the painting phase without my consent. I've tried sending several emails but they refuse to take any responsibility for anything. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.

this company is awful- I ordered 4 statues 12/10/11- I get an email today 1/15/12 saying everyone is on holiday until 1/30/12- I received 2 updates of what the "artists" have done and they looked NOTHING like the pictures I sent. I most likely will not receive these "christmas" gifts until May- DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THESE CROOKS

I am having similar problems. I also got a group on voucher back in october 2011. I am still waiting for my order... They showed me what it looked like after they had painted it, and it looked nothing of the sort. My farther is white Caucasian, this looked Asain. They agreed and said would start again. They showed me pictures of the new face model, and I gave some small adjustment notes like hair line, nose size etc, and since then my model has never passed the face modelling stage. I emailed them a few weeks ago telling them that this was a joke! They said they would put me on a hot list and that I would receive my model within a month. That has passed and my model is still at the face modelling stage. It has now been over 18 weeks since I handed money over to them and still they have given nothing to show for it! Its a joke! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Attempted to place an order several times; their website crashed; wouldn't process etc. I sent email (s) and received no response. Tried to place order again last week however, Groupon expired on 02/09/12. I asked them to honor the original coupon value since I could not place my order due to problems on their website. Response I received back was this: Dear,
We are very sorry. Your voucher is now expired and as stated in the conditions, your voucher value is now the amount you paid for purchasing the voucher. For example if you paid 30US$ for a 60$ voucher, your voucher is now worth 30US$
Sincerely,

This company sucks! I bought a Groupon to get a bobble head made. First of all they don't tell you that you will need to pay an additional $40 for shipping!!! Second, I placed my order on January 6 and I still have not heard anything back. I emailed them. A week later they replied saying they usually get back to you with step one of the process after 4-5 weeks. It has now been 6 weeks so I emailed again to ask for an ETA of step one. The response:
Dear,
We are sorry to not be able to tell you the exact date of the finitino of first step. You will receive an email indicating the confirmation of it. :)
Sincerely,
Siting

What the hell! This was supposed to be a birthday present! Guessing that won't happen now. Go elsewhere. This company is a complete rip off and I am wondering if I will ever get the product I paid for.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I ordered from them on Oct. 25, 2011. It's now March 8, 2012 and I still haven't received my doll even though I paid for EXPRESS service! And every time they send me a photo to "approve" their work, they haven't listened to my instructions at all and I have to send them email after email repeating the specifications of my initial order. They have no phone number to contact and half the time they don't return my emails. The doll looks terrible so far. I have little hope, after all this grief, that I'll even get something worthwhile. And they won't refund my money for taking so long, because their fine print says that they can take as long as they want and there are no guarantees as to when you'll get your doll. What kind of service is that???!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!! I sent all this info to Groupon, who I got a 1minime coupon from, and Groupon say they won't be dealing with the company any longer because of their poor service.

I too ordered from this company via Groupon, and had bad experiences. I'll be brief:
1) Poor quality -- Mine looks like the photo, but the paint job is shabby. You can see lines, and you can see through the yellow paint in places. This would be great if I were trying to trick people into thinking that I made it, since I am not a good sculptor... As a product bought from a company, and shipped... POOR QUALITY.
2) I ordered the product Early December, received mid March. 4 month turn around time, was advertised as 2 month.
3) Came damaged. I would normally fault the shipper, not the manufacturer, but it came in a UPS pouch with no label to indicate that it is fragile, but the inner packaging said "fragile" on it. Maybe if you put the word "fragile" on the outer carton, the shipper would treat it as such? I fixed this thing with glue. Its not like some visible glue marks are going to make the shabby product any worse.
4) Outsourced labor -- These are made in China, as seen by the return shipping address in Guangzhou province. I guess I don't care much about this, but for "handcrafted goods", which are then outsourced ... a $60 price tag is pretty steep. The handmade trinkets you can buy at any tourist trap in Mexico cost about $5, so I'm confused about the markup. OK, I'm not confused, I just wish the quality was better. This thing looks like an art-school drop out sculpted it...
4) $30 shipping charge. This negates the Groupon deal, which was advertised as $60, 1/2 off -- its actually just free shipping.

We also ordered one through a voucher purchased through Groupon. Yes they do not have any respect towards the orders as soon they receive your many. The only means of communication is via email. Seems they are operating outsite US and thus you always see 24hrs delay for any reply. They finally sent the sculpture with many refusals after three months and do not resemble to the picture I sent. There customer service seems mostly thought to say, we are sorry, we do not have any other option now. It was already done. I wasted my money, please you do not waste your money again. -- Rao

First, it took 4 months for me to get my mini me and it DOES NOT look like me. They send you a picture of the sculpture before going into the painting process for approval, and I decline the first job they did because I did not look nothing like me and it took them a month to "re-do" and I would swear it was the same scuplture. They did a shotty job and it was very expensive. $60.00 Plus shipping and taxes, down the drain. DO NOT ORDER, from this company. Its a rip-off and it comes from and made from CHINA! I will NEVER order from these people again. Waste of my money!!!

I’M DOING EVERYTHING TO FIGHT 1MINIME. IF WE ALL PARTICIPATE, HOPEFULLY WE MIGHT GET SOME RESULTS!
This was my step-by-step procedure:
1. Contact Groupon to get a refund on your Groupon vouchers you used. They did refund me the full amount back to my credit card. Call them directly 1-877-788-7858 Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm CST
2. File a complaint through E-CONSUMER. Under https://econsumer.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
Details to enter under “Your Complaint”:
Name of company: Unitune Concept Ltd
Website: http://www.1minime.com
Email address: [email protected]
Street Address:
Loft 806 in Capitol Center
5-19 Jardine’s Bazaar
City: Causeway Bay
Country: Hong Kong
Company Contact Person: David Garneau
Company phone: Country Code: HONG KONG- 852 Phone Number: 81990229
Type of Transaction: Other—Explain in comments field
Problem Encountered: Defective/Poor quality
Additional Comments (edit as you please, but this is what I wrote):
1minime claims itself as a company that produces self portrait customized bobbleheads of its customers. But it is forcing and manipulating customers to accept poor quality products -- the dolls DO NOT look like its customer’s submitted photos, and passing it off as 100% handmade.
It also claims that the user is able to comment and reject the sculptures until the user is 100% satisfied with the production. However, after the 5th modification, user is needed to pay another fee of $15 for further modification-- clearly manipulative of its terms.
From it's Facebook site: "1minime is selling handmade 3D statues of yourself, shipped directly to your door in 72H."
Ironically it has a clause
12.2
"Every modification requested by the customer will add 1 week to the delivery time. "
This has resulted in months of production time and most customers have not been receiving their orders. For the customers who have received their orders, their sculptures look significantly different and absolutely poorly produced. Contact with the merchant’s representative David Garneau ([email protected]) have resulted in rude customer service and he has refused a refund. Their conduct of business has been misleading and unethical, leaving customers with substandard service and products.
3. DISPUTE A TRANSACTION IN PAYPAL OR CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY.
For Paypal Resolution centre: https://www.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_complaint-view&nav=0.4
Enter the same details as above, edit if necessary!

Thanks for posting this. I've been waiting for my bobblehead since Oct. 25. It's now March 30 and my dealings with them have been horrible. They're incredibly unprofessional. It's such a scam.

By the way, I filed a dispute through PayPal for not receiving my item, and oddly enough they said that my dispute didn't qualify but that I should continue to work through things with the seller in the hopes that it would get resolved. Okayyyy. Thanks for nothing, PayPal!

order not received
I ordered a doll for my sister last November, and it is now April and still nothing. I made it to the body stage and asked for one hand to to be sitting on her hip. It came back with one arm behind her back. I made the same request again and it came back with both hands behind her back. I sent an email annoyed with the time and lack of acknowledgement in my order. I received an email from them stating they understood my frustrations and would contact the sculptors. TWO months went by and I heard nothing. I sent another email recently and asked for a cancellation on the order. Then I was told I there were no refunds and that I had agreed to this in their terms and conditions. I emailed groupon with my complaint and I logged a dispute on the charge with my credit card company as non receipt of goods. Looks like I'm fighting a lost battle, but I'll try anyway. This is the worse company I've ever dealt with.

Exceptionaly bad service
I've placed my order almost 7 month ago, since that time once in a while they would notify me that artists were still working on the sculpture. One time I did not hear from them for 2 month, and after I've asked what the deal was, they said that all the artists took a national vacation!
After I've requested a refund because of the horrible treatment, they said that they are not going to give it to me in full, so gave up and the saga is still in the progress...
I've never seen such an operation!
