I received my order and the sizes were TOO BIG, GOOD "luck" in trying to be able to return for a credit.Then, I was able to request a credit and have yet to hear from them within the 7 DAYS...and
They just sent me another package with the EXACT items that were in the FIRST order and the "missing" watch! NOT worth the price paid for my items and the shipping is EXPEN$IVE! Beware, just shop with another site. HEADACHE and a pain! Money wasted!
Sent my measurements in to Light and received my garment in the time allotted. The pantsuit fit perfectly in length and width. I'm very happy with Light in the Box.
I'v gotting some orders that were the wrong size and other orders that i wasn't totally satisified with and i wish there were larger sizes to choose from but overall i'm okay with proceeding to still order.
Unfortunately, as I am very tall, old and fussy, everything was very neat and prompt…
Two pairs pants were too small at the waist, sweaters too short and too tight in the waist... The bracelet was perfect. Unfortunatly, by now, too many things should be exchanged and returned.I can't afford to lose my money like this…
A bit slow to ship,but correct.All good.Will try to use it as soon as I can.
The sale prices of the shirts I bought was leaving me the question of what kind of quality I would be receiving but I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of the products I received. They fit great and people have commented on how nice they look on me. The colors are true and they have washed well. Good bang for the buck in my opinion.
There were no problems. Items came when expected. They are very comfortable. Sizing was correct.
I ordered a t-shirt with a front pocket, received one with a line simulating a pocket. Very obvious on the pictures.
They responded quickly for a return, however, the choices are:
-keep it and we will give you a coupon worth 80% of the value of the t-shirt,
-keep it and we will give you 60% of the value of the t-shirt - picked this option and received 60% of the price, no refund on taxes... no way to know if they will pay the taxes to the government or keep it for themselves (in my case, this meant an extra 15 %),
-send it back for full refund.
They did refund within 48 hrs.
OTHERWISE: good quality material, and good looking product.
Des achats divers et a bon prix, livraison rapide, tous les articles sont de bonnes qualités et plus.
Very satisfied with the delivery and the product and would recommend it to anyone
To my surprise the two items I ordered were custom made and therefore non-refundable. If you are looking for something you might return, make sure your item is not "Made to Order". Customer service worked with me to find an adequate solution, but I wish I knew this information before ordering.

Most all items are of quality when dealing with clothing.
Electronics are not very stable and charging cords are very poor quality
Shirt 2xl would not even fit over my head to put on. Customer service. No such thing. Stay away. Not helpful. Disputed the purchase with my card company

2 orders, 7 items. First order: Both items wrong. Second order 2 items were the wrong size, 2 other items color was way off from picture. Company does not care. And they make returns almost impossible.
Contacted by Megha. Very accommodating. She offered a solution. I accepted. Customer service is responsive and very fair. I have since made another purchase.
Customer service gets 5 stars.

I first experience at LightInTheBox was shopping for bicycle part and accessories. They had wide and diverse selection of these. I was very satisfied with my purchases. As I explored the site I found more and more unique products to buy. I now shop for everything from clothes to household products and electronics at LightInTheBox.
Very well made and durable. Item is better than I expected.
Good service, lovely products, and fine quality Materials fine items I will buy your products again.
I love these socks. I always order extra and give them away. I want everyone to enjoy these socks.
They say when offers are too good to be true they usually are. In my experience the unbelievable prices on some items are in fact true. The shirts and shorts I ordered are of excellent quality and as described. I will buy from here again.
I'm very pleased with light in the box products! Everything I've ordered has been top quality. I plan on ordering my Christmas presents this year from light in the box! I have always been a store shopper but light in the box has changed my mind with the quality of their product I will product I can shop from home and know that light in the box will send great quality products, arrive in a timely manner!
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.
