Beautiful dress,fast shipping, very happy with my purchase Thank you very much!
The photos are certainly the origionals that are being knocked off. Again poor quality, bad fit, would not recommend.
I was satisfied with my order, with the exception of one item. It was nothing like the picture. It was the equivalent of a long t-shirt.
The dresses looked beautiful until I tried them on. Based on my normal size AND their size chart, they should have easily fit. Unfortunately, I could barely fit in them. They felt similar to any cheap apparel from China you get even though I thought I was buying from the USA... until I looked at the bags they came in, which appeared to have some kind of Asian scribbles written below the English name. I tried to return it. I was told it is a non-returnable item and they included a chart I never saw when I placed the order. Buyer beware. I don't know where the good reviews are coming from.

Die Ware die ich bekommen habe ist sehr gut verarbeitet und sie sieht sehr gut aus.Für diesen Preis habe ich eine so schöne Ware nicht erwartet.Durch Zufall habe ich Ihre Firma kennen gelernt ich bin begeistert.Ihre Barbara Wilhelm
I ordered a swimsuit and it's so beautiful and his quality. It was just a little too small so I wrote to exchange it and Alejandro was SO helpful and made the process really easy which I appreciate so much. I will order from this site again!
Good looking and nice fitting shirts
Good quality
I got many nice compliments
Sent me the wrong item. Not only that but the item was a shoddy, wrinkled badly-made baggy t-shirt that looked like it had just been picked up off the floor and was worth no
More than 20 pence. When I requested a refund (having sent photos TWICE as requested) they told me it had been sent from a third party seller so I'd have to pay the postage of $10-40! An utter con. Avoid these crooks like the plague!

The product quality was great same as the advertised pictures.
The parcel arrived early and in good condition.
Overall the experience was great.
Thank you.
Ordered a bathing suit that had a big gap on the side of breast area, definitely a quality issue. Tried to process a return to no avail. Then I looked online for tips to return, all negative comments, too much effort without returning successfully. I will cut my loss as time is money. I hope others will read the many negative reviews out there before supporting this business. They got me for $33, small value but it hurts to waste money.

Product was quality and came quickly I really like the material the shorts where made out of and they fit perfectly

Wszystkie produkty świetnie się sprawdzają. Urżądzenie do krojenia cebulki - brawo, sciereczki bardzo chłonne,w dłoni wyciska się prawie do sucha.,masażer,bardzo pobudzający.mini szczoteczka wymiata bród na klawiaturze.mogłaby być bardziej miękka
Of the 4 tops I have ordered so far, 2 were fabulous, fit true to size, look like the photos on the website and great prices! One of these was white and although it looks like solid fabric in the photos it's actually eyelet material, quite pretty and surprisingly not see-through. The other 2 were t-shirts and not like they appeared. The photos on the site looked like they had looser flared sleeves and bottom hem but they are actually straight and much narrower. Also the colors weren't quite true, especially the one which appeared more sky blue in the photo and is a dull greyish green. I don't want the hassle of trying to return them so I'm going to try convert them into tank tops because the fabric is actually quite nice and soft.
I ordered a dress for a wedding based on the sizes available to choose from AND WITHOUT sending my measurements for customization. I cancelled my order within 3 days after placing it and asked for a full refund. After waiting for a response for more than 48hours, customer service finally came back to tell me that my dress is considered made to order and if cancelled for more than 24 hours after placing the order, I am no longer eligible for a full refund. Cancellation fee is 50%. The dress was $125.
Since there is no way for customers to fit the dress before purchasing, this return policy for made to order dresses is something that you should be aware of and consider before placing an order.
After I had posted a review regarding my experience, Megha, customer service supervisor, promptly came back with another explanation and offered to refund most of the amount back to me. I apprecaite this.
This return policy will cost you quite a bit of money specially if you send it back after you receive it (shipping and insurance fees are not refundable). Just a tip for would be customers. Make sure that you are not purchasing a made to order item.

Bon rapport qualité prix. Délai de livraison raisonnable.je recommandé
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.
