I bought the dress through the app. The dress looked just like the photos online, but it was a little small. I suggest ordering a size up.
Je parles Français...j'ai pls commandes qui n arrive jamais chez moi
As a repeat customer of LightInTheBox, our latest purchases continued to satisfy my wife, myself and, it seems, all the people who gave us compliments on what we were wearing. We understand the clothes are coming from far away so we're patient with the delivery time but we do wish the delivery charges weren't so high.
I've bought a wall tapestry. The item was perfect, as detailed in the description, the expedition times were good, faster than indicated. I will buy again on that site.
Hi,
This dress was perfect in the fit and feel of the fabric. It's loose and comfy. The service from this company rivals any other online order program such as Amazon, Walmart, major retail outlets in fact I would say their customer service out performs some of them. Easy to deal with and arrives within a timely manner….given the fact it ships from overseas, it's not out of expectation to be 10-14 business days. Well done on the quality of the workmanship of the clothing. I will continue to use this company for future purchasing.
All the hoodies came in on time, most of them were bright colors which was great
I did find some of the hoodies looked like they were faded out especially for the older
Kids.
I ordered a size 9 blue with kittens, this one looked faded, i ordered a boys size 14 in blue as well
And again looked pretty faded.
I have not given them to my grandkids yet but I am sure they will like, the only one that will not fit is for our 1 year old grandson, bought a 3 pc set, pants and shirt will fit but hoody will not, no stretch in fabric. Well buy a hoody somewhere else for him.
I recently found LightInTheBox while looking for some music themed men's shirts. I was pleased find shirts like this and more at great value. I was pleased with the quality and fit of what I purchased and returned to the website two more times in a couple of weeks to buy more. There are a nice variety of colors in good materials.
I recommend everyone not to use this company for business, they are a bunch of thieves. I ordered a dress that didn't fit me, I sent the dress back over a month ago, I never received my refund, I can't speak with no one at the customer service; they steal my money

In general the site works excellently. The prices are low, the quality is attractive and the service is fast and efficient
Lightinthebox sells quality products at affordable prices. The colors don't fade when washing, nor does the shirt shrink. I like the styles and the fact the shirts only go down just past your waistline. Other Polo brands are very long and hang down to your knees. Their delivery was quick, with no issues. A great company to deal with.
I have ordered several different items under all different categories and for the most part have been surprised at the quality for the price. I would definitely continue shopping with light in the box.
So far I have placed two different orders and the products have been wonderful so far. To me they are unique in their class.
The only suggestion I would make is to adjust the shipping and shipping insurance costs; these are way too much inflated which defeats the purpose of whatever money you were supposed to save in the products ordered. It seems like they push you to buy the yearly shipping and handling membership. If they can fix that then the company will beat Amazon.
I wear so many of these shirts to church. We have a modern service and I've found so many articles of clothing that are church approved with a cool look and attitude. Keep up the great work LITB!
I have made 5 purchases, over a 3 month period. I noticed your site improving in providing data ( especially in explaining sizes and material). This is helpful and smart on your part. Keep it up!
I ordered blouses for myself and shirts for my husband and was delighted with all. Great fit and great look!
It was fast and people are serious in business. They are compromised with customers. I really like the way and keep purchasing orders from your company.
My experience has been very favorable. That is why I continue to use them and use them often. If a product is not to my liking or expectations they have been very accommodating.
Easy to order and good quality. Enjoy ordering from this company. Always a good experience.
I contacted the company and explained the large coat didn't fit and like to exchange it for an extra large and they were agreeable. At present, I returned the coat that I received and have been assured when the package I returned is received they will ship me another. Sadly because of Canada Post high price in sending packages abroad, it cost me 88.00. But nevertheless, I believe the exchange is worth it.
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.
