Excellent purchase
July 26, 2023

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

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!

Not bad.
July 25, 2023

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.

Excellent Product and Service
July 25, 2023

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.
