My experience witht his company was awesome, I got my product and had no issues whatsoever.
Toujours un bon service! Et réception dans les temps. Et vous emballez de façon efficace! Tout arrive en bon état. Merci!
I received my package all individually sealed in their own plastic bag and everything fit perfectly. I was really pleased.
Dress ordered was ok. Very long but easy to hem.Sizing accurate.
Black linen pants wat too small. XxL more like a medium.
Swimsuit nice but busy sizing did not match swimsuit size. Way too small.
Would not order from this company again,
US women, do NOT purchase shorts from this venue. A size women medium, clearly is not correct! Unless you would like to use these for a doll or infant, maybe the size would be correct. Tried to return and it will cost $267.61 for UPS to send international. Awful company, now disputing the charge with my credit card company.
Don't order from them, unless you want to spend $30. To ship to China, and you will never get your refund. BEWARE!

This is my first experience with Lightinthebox, I'm very satisfied with it! Will purchase more!
Some items do not match with the picture and some has wrong size. If you want to make a return, you must pay for it yourself. The costumer service are a bit late to response but they solved my issue.

We received the items fast after the purchase. The items were as per the pictures on the website.A nice quality for the price paid.
I am very happy with your talent to organize, you do all this in a pleasant way.
I ordered a dress from the website. The picture LightIn The Box had on the website was very beautiful. Once I got the dress it was of very poor quality, nothing like the picture and the fit was off. Because this was what they considered a made to order dress, which is not custom made, they would not issue me a refund. How can you not issue a refund on an item that doesn't meet expectations?Stay away from this company. I will never order from them again and I will be sure to tell my family and friends to stay away. This company is a rip-off.

Awful and untrustworthy. Their returns policy is so ridiculous and difficult it is obviously designed this way to put you off doing the return. It's is also expensive and with no reimbursement of the return postage. You have been warned. They sell cheap crap!

First time Buyer from this company and the shirts literally do not match with what is shown on their website. Colors and fabric do not match to the pictures online. I tried to return my items and I have to ship them back to Jiaxing,China to a person/company named TianGuiChuan. I received the Order from New Jersey. This is a rip off. Why can't I just send this pack to their Warehouse in New Jersey? Buyer Beware!

I have been trying to get the company to give me my refund for months. They wouldn't send me a return shipping label and found them mailed it back myself. Sent them pictures of the measurements. I normally wear a large so I ordered in XL it fitted like a medium I sent pictures of me wearing them.

Thank you for making these hair pieces to clip in to cover my thinning areas. I'm no longer embarrassed to go out in public. Quality and color are perfect.
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.
