I will never ever purchase clothing from this company again! Do not explain terms at all. I ordered a medium size and I was told I could not return because it was custom made! Will not return the cost but will give you a 40% Coupon to purchase again or 20% refund. I chose the 20% but then said offer expired!

Order Okay
November 11, 2023

Like the sweater I received, but coloring was off. Top looks blue, not the gray I thought I ordered. Planned to wear with gray pants and jacket, but only makes top look more blue than gray. Disappointed.

Good shipping time. Ordered size large which ran a little big. But, overall I'm satisfied. Unfortunately, even though I like the men's clothes that's carried I won't be ordering anything else from them. Temu carries nice clothing also, but they always have free shipping. This company does not

Jackets, shrits,
November 11, 2023

I bought several items from lightning in a box, two jackets I bought one has cowboy on the front the other has designs on it. Nice jackets but they run small. Also the red jacket with cowboy on the front came to me with stains on the shoulders. The shirt I ordered black shirt round neck low cut. That's not the shirt I got it seems that you order something and you do not get what you order. Lightning in the Box to check with their production because they're not sending out the items as ordered!. More than likely I will not order anything else from lightning in a box. Because either is too small not true the size you order or you don't get what you order and it takes forever to receive it. So imagine your order something you wait forever to get it and it's not what you ordered or it has stains on it which you cannot get out because the material is so thin that if you rub it too hard it's going to tear that's literally how this is gone for me. I'm not a complainer I just wanted to let people know that if it's dealing with similar situations that I'm dealing with with lightning in a box please write a review and let them know because the production company that sends items out to customers they're not paying attention to what they're sending and they're sending the wrong items I've gotten two things that I did not order from them. So I will not be using lightning in the Box again cuz I'm not happy with the stain jacket and the orders that I did not receive that I asked for instead they sent me something that I didn't want. Sending it back well try your luck with that.

WARM FOR THE WINTER
November 10, 2023

The delivery was so quick. I ordered a long robe with a zipper, which is hard to find these days. It was exactly what I wanted, love the color, and it's so thick. So happy & now I will be cozy and warm for the winter.

5XL is too small
November 10, 2023

So, I really need pants, yes? I guess I could have asked the stores out here to size me but I bus a lot and often can't afford the clothes they offer me, so I tried online. The 4XL and 5XL pants fit me like a large and (maybe) X-Large, which is 3-4 sizes too small for me. Guess I really can't trust them. Most of the shirts in the same size fit, but two are a little tight.

My husband (a physician) was sent 2 women's dresses from LightInTheBox which were never ordered by us - especially as he does not wear dresses and they were not a size he nor I would wear. The company told us the steps to return the items which we followed to the detail. They have refused to refund the money (just under $300) and with a return postage of $80. We have the proof of return but very difficult to deal with a backstreet warehouse in China with both a language barrier and sub-standard technology. We want everyone thinking of using this company to reconsider before ordering. You will be extremely disappointed with the quality and especially any post-care issues should you need to return or exchange.

Gosto da variedade dos produtos
November 10, 2023

Já adquiri alguns produtos e de uma forma geral fiquem satisfeita com eles.
Não entendi até agora porque deixaram de enviar factura/Recibo com as encomendas, tendo em conta que também alteraram a política das devoluções, que infelizmente descobri na minha encomenda de 30/08/2023, com o Nº do Pedido **************, em que houve um artigo que pretendia devolver porque o tamanho não correspondia ao nº que habitualmente peço e só foi possível fazer troca?...Até hoje não entendi como posso fazer a troca.
