I had a very fast delivery and everything that I bought was top quality. I bought my wedding from this site last year and that was where my mind was made up on the quality fit. Thanks Lightinthebox
It took so much time and the freight charge were high
This was a great buy. Highly recommend this site. Premium product at a minimum price
I love this dress! Fits perfect and I love the material!
Got my shirts I ordered Didn't take long and like them all
Beware it's a scam site and do not buy any item from there! We bought a cheap stuff but a paid a huge amount and wanted to return. But they have made our life difficult to return the item by offering reward in terms of coupons. Scam!
Ordered dress July 7th. Still no delivery and cannot reach anyone. Email is useless. I NEED FOLLOW UP BEFORE I FILE COMPLAINT

Estou satisfeita com a minha compra. Chegou no tempo certo e bem embalado, parabéns aos desenvolvedores do app.
Gente o material é perfeito, qualidade única e sem igual, detalhes muito lindos, eu amei cada detalhe
I've ordered the same bags twice from the site. The first time, I ordered 4 bags and had to wait forever on the order because one of them was taking forever to process (back order possibly?), but they gave a discount due to the wait and once they shipped they arrived quickly. The second order I received the small bags when I ordered the large bags, and I am still waiting (and waiting and waiting…) on the correct bags to ship. The bags are super nice and the price was excellent, my only complaint is the shipping issues I've experienced.
I am a big guy. All items were ordered at 3 XL.I ordered some items for my daughter too. All came to small as well.
"Silky" tank tops are at least two sizes to small. One of the Hawaiian shirts didn't have a button eyelet so it's basically useless.The other one ( with the girls) is not 3XL which size I normally buy in the stores here.
Swimming pants don't go past my thies.
The summer shoes are fine though.
DHL delivery was to my expectations.
Unfortunately I didn't save my emails but, even if I did I wouldn't want to go to the GIANT HUSTLE of going through the process of returning anything.
I just won't buy anything ever again from LITB.
I do NOT recommend this merchant to anyone who is bigger than a person from Asia.

Melhor app gente pra comprar itens sem sair de casa, amo as promoções. Demora um pouco, mas chega.
Gostei muito do site. Tem uma imensa variedade de produtos e o pedido que fiz chegou muito rápido, bem embalado e funcionando perfeitamente.
The website was easy to use, the canvas painting I ordered is available in numerous sizes, and the ordering process was straightforward. The tracking data was accurate and kept me up to date with the forecast delivery date. The painting arrived within the advertised time frame. I'm very pleased with the painting, which is excellent quality and very competitively price. I highly recommend LightInThe Box.
Supplier came through as advertised on in the time specified. What more can you ask? Who do do do do do do go do do go to go to go do go go go go go go to go go to to go to full go to go to to yell to to to go go
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.
