Delivery time is usually a little too long. Difficult to find the correct size for me, sometimes too small sometimes too big. I like the designs and fabric patterns but sometimes fabric is too thin.

I liked the first shirts I got but they were too small. The return process was very difficult and confusing. I gave up on trying to return them and just ordered new shirts. The new shirts fit well.

En general, todos los productos que he ido adquiriendo son de muy buena calidad y buen diseño. La excepción fue una mochila negra, que vino sin los herrajes para las correas, pero lo uso como bolso/valija de la laptop.
Si bien en mi país, los recargos de tasas adicionales por cambios de divisas son muy altos, no me desalientan en las compras, ya que encuentro productos originales y muy útiles que no están disponibles en otros sitios.
Ahora estoy esperando tres compras, cada una de ellas con regalos para amigos y otros productos para mí, estoy ansiosa para cuando lleguen. Muchas gracias!

Don't do it!

I don't believe this sites rating. If I could rate zero, I would. Light in the box orders take way too long (to any US state) and clothing quality is extremely poor.

Total rip off
May 29, 2023

I ordered several shirts from one of those popups adds and actually used their measurement chart to decide which size to buy. Now they want me to show them pictures of the measurements of all of the shirts to get a refund because their size chart led me to believe that I was ordering he correct size while their size chart clearly lied to me and I'm sure the rest of the public as well. Never buy anything from these animals.

The end of my saga with ordering from LightInTheBox has now ended when the company gave me a full refund to my credit card and also refunded the cost of postage to return the items. I spent a lot of time on this dispute. My real wish is that the items purchased and returned by me had been of good quality, but they were not!
