I horribly would advise you not to buy anything from this company! The quality, and design of the product looks like ugly children Halloween costumes. Then when you try to return the product, they give you a stupid choice of:
We have three options available for you to choose from. To choose one of these options, simply click on the relevant link, and our system will take care of the rest, and you don't need to reply to here.
A: 50% Reward (eg. If the item costs $100, you can get a $50 Reward, which is the same as a Coupon)
B: 30 % Refund (eg. If item costs $100, you can get a $30 Refund)
Or
C: Return the item back for a refund of item(s) price at a cost for return shipping. We will send you the return address in this ticket in 1 working day.
Note for return: We're sorry that we do not provide return label/slip service, you may send the order to our Asia warehouse via the cheapest tracking service in the post office. The postage might cost $10-$40 and it takes 2-4 weeks for delivery according to customers' feedback. To save your cost, we'll send you a reward that values 50% of the return postage, which you can use on the next order.
If you choose one of the above options, you can just do the quick click and wait for our reply in 1 working day.
However, if you have other requests or concerns, you may just reply to this ticket directly. Thanks a million for your kind cooperation.
Bonjour. Depuis que je commande j'ai toujours été satisfait mais la dernière fois j'ai été un peu déçu. Dans l'ensemble de tout,je suis très satisfait
Tout les articles commander depuis le debut très satisfais sauf un article. Et surtout la commande qu'il a fallu que je paye la douane, j'étais pas content et devait plus commander mais j'achève de commander. Ça augmente une commande. 63.00$ de douane
La camiseta bonita y llamativa, perfecta para su uso en bicicleta de enduro, nada mas un problema en la descricion pone " 21 gram jersei manga larga bicicleta camiseta con tres bolsillos traseros MTB... " y de los tres bolsillos traseros no estan, me la quedo porque me gusta, pero se tendria que revisar la descricion de la misma
I ordered just a few, to see what they would be like. I was so pleasantly surprised when I received them, The print came our really well and the quality is excellent.
Will buy more with different prints.
The website is very easy to use and I know the state of my order at all times.
I receive my dress Order No. *******.
When ordered I took a size up to make alternations if needed. So I fit in M, but I ordered L.
Guess what... I cannot push the zipper, because it's to small.
At firs I was frustrated, but... it pushed me for a diet and real commitment and I have already results.
The measurement should be more presided, because it shouldn't matter if you are from Europe, America or Asia, to get fit. Centimeters are the same all over the world!
The other side of the story - on the picture dress looks amazing! In reality, not that great. You got what you pay for! Not that bad, but picture is much better, for sure the girl on the picture has a model body, that makes a different, and the dress is not crumpled being taken from a small bag. It can be iron.
All in all - after my first shock and frustration - I give you 4 out of 5*, and think that's fair.

I have purchased from light in the box, several times totaling almost $600, and most of the items are a good deal. But, with every order comes 1-3 items that need to be returned or exchanged because they are not as advertised, or simply do not work at all.
In the past, I simply submit a return via their app. In my last two packages, I received two items that do not work at all and two more that are not the sizes advertised. But, the return process, on their app, DOES NOT FUNCTION!
I have tried using their return system, every day for the past week, and I am almost at the end of their seven day return period. I tried emailing them directly, but their emails come from a "no reply" address. I tried replying to previous emails, about previous returns. But, the customer service response always claims that they can only respond to the items in that one order of that one email chain.
This company is advertising a seven day return window, for all items that are not as described or arrive broken. But, in reality, they are not accepting returns from me anymore at all!
Light in the box offers surprisingly, high-quality goods and service… and, the prices get even better on the app! If something doesn't fit, or isn't working for you, their customer service is fast and fair as well. Lastly, somehow, they manage to ship everything, from china, in only 2 to 4 weeks!
Too many emails in a short time, even three per day!
That is too much.
Nagyon jó terméket kaptam, gyors szállítással.
Kiváló kupon akciók is vannak!
Towar jak już został wysłany to szybko do mnie dotarł. Przedmioty takie jak na zdjęciu, wszystko się zgadza.
Great! Amazing prices and good stuff too! Used site many many times all good! You will not be unhappy this is a gret company. Youll save alot of money and they ate reliable too!
Chaque fois que je commande chez vous, je ne suis jamais déçu
Easy order, detailed information while shipping, relative fast delivery, items in good quality, described sizes are correct
Heel veel dank voor de supermooie omslagdoek/shawl.
Het is een grote aanwinst in de garderobe van moeder van de bruid
Het staat schitterend bij jumpsuit(*******),kanten jurk(*******)
Heb veel complimenten gekregen
Er wordt door Light on the Box hard gewerkt om het de klanten naar de zin te maken en gelukkig te maken. Dank jullie wel.
Het is een aanrader omdat het zo heel erg mooi is :)
دائما أشتري من تطبيقكم بسبب خدماتكم ومنتجاتكم ممتازة الجودة وسهولة تعاملكم وتحفيزكم للمشترين بالتخفضيات المستمرة
Answer: Hello, I bought a few things and the quality was not very good and the sizing was totally wrong. I also bought a cellular charger and the battery inside was not soldered correctly. Lightinthebox has great price, but you pay for what you get, which isn't much. I have stopped buying from them.
Answer: Same problem... All thru email
Answer: We didn't buy a dress but the sizes are very small and the returns policy is a joke. I ended up losing money.
Answer: Dear Customer, we do recommend to you to refer to the size chart on each of the clothes first and then pick a suitable size for you.
Answer: Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We're really sorry that our company made you feel nervous. Please kindly note that the total delivery time = processing time + shipping time. So for the arrival date of your package. It depends on the processing time of the product and the shipping method you choose. About the processing time, please kindly check the processing time on the product page. About the shipping time, you mentioned you paid extra fee for faster delivery. If the service you chose was expedited shipping, normally it takes 3-4 business days for shipping. If it's standard service, then 5-8 business days for shipping. If the order is delayed, we'll take full responsibility of that and you can contact us through tickets. You can refer to this guide to contact customer service: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html
Answer: Will you send us your order number so that we can check?
Answer: Dont buy anything from this site. The picture is good, the object quality is garbage. You will be cheated and loose you money.
Answer: You NEVER get your money back... dont use them. I am amazed this company is allowed to trade, I am sure we have law's against this kind of practise.
Answer: Suggest not to buy. Might end up not receiving the order or received the wrong size and would be returning and paying shipping or requesting a refund or not receiving a refund at all. There's more legit company like Amazon where I bought the same one I ordered from Lightinabox, which I did not received. Sorry, but I would not trust this Co for anything. It' up to you to take the risk.
Answer: Count yourself lucky and DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! You will be disappointed in the clothing and size from this company. All of the clothing I received was horrible quality and did not look at all like the photo they had online. They were just plain awful and the sizing was a joke. I received an XL shirt that would not fit a small person and a Med shirt (was supposed to be the same shirt as the XL) and the medium was literally larger than a 4x One was a terrible quality plain sweatshirt with a sticker posted on it and the other was a draping long gown like garment. I was appalled.would recommend finding a different company.
