I recently ordered what I believed to be a genuine Lego set from theblockzone.com. The website is heavily marketed toward Lego fans, offering popular sets at prices slightly below market value (approx. 10 CHF cheaper). However, the entire experience has been highly questionable.
The Product:
After a 4-week wait, the package arrived from China. It was hand-packed and completely wrapped in plastic. Upon opening, there was no original retail packaging—just loose, heat-sealed bags of bricks. This is clearly not an original Lego product but a knock-off.
The Return Process (A Hidden Trap):
Attempting to return the item revealed a very shady process:
No Prepaid Labels: You must pay for return shipping yourself.
Private Addresses: After filling out a contact form, I was emailed a private residential address in Europe for the return, rather than a professional warehouse.
Hidden Costs: Their FAQ states that any customs duties incurred during the return will be deducted from your refund.
High Risk: Shipping an international parcel to a private individual is expensive and offers zero protection for the buyer.
Verdict:
Between the long delivery times, the counterfeit nature of the goods, and the intentionally difficult/expensive return policy, I cannot recommend this shop. If you are looking for authentic Lego, stay away. This site trades on brand confusion and makes it nearly impossible to get your money back without losing a significant amount on shipping fees.
