Is TinyDetails.com (Tiny Details) A Scam?

Tiny Details.com is a company that specializes in giving homeworkers the opportunity to assemble doll house miniatures The miniatures produced must  pass their rigorous standards. I’ve heard some minor complaints about this company so I decided to write this review to see if we can get to the root of some of these claims. That being said I’ve also read a lot of complaints about bigger companies like Microsoft, Paypal and Disney, so I wanted to be objective when approaching this review and you should be as well.

I know from first hand experience how people are quick to call any company a scam or fraud and many times it’s because of misunderstanding or lack of comprehension of the given opportunity.

By definition the assembly of miniatures is not a very easy task. I encourage you to visit a hobby shop and look at the details that go into some higher end doll houses. Tiny Details is about producing high end miniature products so they can resell at a profit so it’s in their best interest as a business to only accept quality work from their home assembly workers.

From what I’ve gathered, the problem is that some of the work at home assembly workers and TinyDetails.com don’t see eye to eye on what is deemed a quality product. This is where the accusations of being a scam come in.

I’ve personally contacted the owner Kris on some occasions where disputes were brought to my attention and Kris has always been quick to respond and resolve any issue that came up. So it’s hard for me to swallow Tiny Details as being a scam. For me a scam is a company that is totally unresponsive and disappears when faced with obstacles. Again based on my personal experience that’s not the case.

You should avoid Tiny Details if you lack attention to detail, can’t follow directions and/or are unsure about working with miniatures. The assembly work is difficult and not for the faint of heart. However if you are detail oriented person, love working with your hands and don’t mind a challenge then this may be the company for you.

Unlike many work at home companies, they don’t hide behind an email address. You can actually pick the phone and call them. I’d like to see you do that with many of the so called legitimate work at home companies out there. So No I don’t think that Tiny Details is a scam! But it’s not an easy way to make money either. You really need to have the skills to do the job to be successful. So keep that in mind. I think the people that called this company a scam didn’t and that’s why they were disappointed with this legitimate opportunity.

But with that said, if the reports and complaints worry you, then I would suggest trying some of the other ways to make money as described in our articles. Many of our loyal subscribers are finding success doing so. For instance I was able to make $150 in an hour just for giving my "two cents".  And I’m pretty sure that would never be possible with assembling trinkets.

    From the information I have gathered, Tiny Details is a scam. You order a package of supplies from them and pay a $55.00 “deposit”. If you assemble the required number of pieces (from 20 to 100) and send the finished product in to Tiny Details, they inspect them and, if they feel the product is up to their standards, they will send you your depoist back and pay you for the finished product ($50.00 to $200.00). The problem is that they send you materials that are cheep and very hard to work with, they don’t send you clear directions, and the product is so small and hard to make, that most people aren’t even able to finish. When you send in your finished product, they send it back to you, always saying there is something wrong. I have even run into some people who say that the send in a “sample” of their work, as Tiny Details suggests to see if your product matches their standards before you complete the whole batch, and they almost always reject it, even if you were to send in the original “finished sample” they sent you in the first place. I know people want to believe they can make money at home this way, but it is a scam. Some would argue that it is not a scam, because if you manage to actually finish the products and get the company to accept them, then they may pay you and keep their promise. It is in fact a scam because they make most of their money off of the people who fail to complete the task up to their “standards”. Their whole business structure would fall apart if they didn’t continue to make money off of all of the people who fail to meet their standards. If you don’t believe me, check out some of the following links or google “Tiny Details scam” and see for yourself.

    Scam? Don’t know. But I what can you say for a company who can’t keep track of what they receive from their workers? Or the fact that they obviously lied to the BBB. See my story about Tiny Details at www.realworkrealpay.blogspot.com

    Hi Trica,

    Thanks for your comments. It’s real troubling to hear these stories.

    I have heard about this particular work at home opportunity on several occasions. I think it is really difficult to work for some of this “crafting” type opportunities because you may think your crafted item is done and looks perfect, and then you send it for approval and it is rejected.
    I always tend to do a search and see if these type of opportunities are scams or if there are alot of poor reviews before thinking about applying.
