Tiny Details, a Home Assembly Company

My Experience with This Work-At-Home Opportunity

If you have searched the Internet looking for home assembly opportunities, you have probably come across Tiny Details, a company in Groton, NY that makes dollhouse miniature accessories. Perhaps you also looked them up on sites like RipOffReport and Better Business Bureau, like I
 did, and wondered whether you should risk sending $55 as a deposit that Tiny Details requires from home assemblers in order to start. Well, I chose to give it a try.

When my mother moved in with us after dad's unexpected passing, she desperately needed something to occupy herself with to help her cope with the grief. However, she did not want to do something useless, like crafts that would end up packed away in a closet. Crafts supplies cost money, and mom is not the kind of a person who would waste money just because she needs something to do; she would much rather work and earn. Thus I embarked on a search of a legitimate work-at-home company (despite having unsuccessfully searched before and despite my husband's verdict that they were all scams).

I came across Tiny Details, and it sounded perfect. The items they gave out to home assemblers to work on - miniature books, magazines, playing cards, tea boxes, calendars - looked very cute and fun to make. They did not require any special skills, most of the work consisted of cutting, folding, and gluing. I figured that with patience and accuracy, which both mom and I have in good supply, making these should not be a problem. The company warned that the items were very small, 1/12 of the regular size, and therefore home assemblers needed to have good eyesight. Mom had a large magnifying glass, so we thought she was well prepared.

Interesting. I could never do it because I don't have the patience, attention span, focus, or drive to put my eyes through such a rigorous gauntlet of strain. I'm glad you stuck it out for the cause, and finished victorious in the end!

:) Yes, I know you can make your eyes green by wearing color changing contacts. I just don't think people should try to dye their eyes green.

Very good article. I tried the calenders one time from Tiny Details. I found it way to tedious for the little money you make.

Wow I'm going through the exact same experience now. I ordered and made my kit back in the summer of 2007. STILL NO MONEY!! After months and months of calling, they have never not once returned a phone call, no matter how many times I asked or left my phone number. They are also not answering their phones at this point, so I would warn off any prospectives looking into this company!! I think they might still come through for me, but what a horrid way to run a "business"

That's patience. I would have been extremely frustrated and would have probably called them daily.
