Dress Purchase
May 16, 2023

I ordered 2 dresses in size medium. One fit perfectly and I love it but the other one is too small. My only complaint is that it is not easy to send back. If it was I would order the same dress in another size.

Great values but slow delivery
May 16, 2023

LITB has EXCELLENT prices for quality products. Just BE SURE TO CHECK THE SIZE GUIDE before ordering each item. Some items run small while others run a little larger

Long Wait Time
May 16, 2023

I almost did not order from Light In the Box again because I thought wait time for delivery was way too long. Wait time for this order to ship I'm my opinion wa way too long.

Experience
May 16, 2023

The product had several places where it wasn't stitched well and the fabric was too hot for the Desert climate here. I paid extra for 3-5 day delivery, but it was longer than that. Given that the order was extensive, I shouldn't have had to pay shipping costs as well.
All in all, I will not be ordering from Lightinthebox again!

I WAS TRYING TO PLACE AN ORDER AND THE SHIPPING CHARGES WERE THE SAME AS THE PURCHASE PRICE. DID NOT BUY. CHAT BOX APPEARED AND GAVE ME ANOTHER CODE FOR FREE DELIVERY. IT DIDN'T ACCEPT THAT EITHER. TODAY THERE IS NO CHAT BOX. NOT A VERY CUSTOMER FRIENDLY COMPANY. I WILL FIND THE DRESSES ON ANOTHER SITE- OR NOT. SO DISGUSTED. ALSO, I NEVER RECEIVED MY LAST ORDER. NO CREDIT YET!

I wasn't happy with a purcase. They refunded my money after a few back and forth emails and reviews. I still lost the delivery fee I paid. My suggestion for them is to specify the material they use in their products.

Don't Order
May 14, 2023

The bathing suit I ordered in my size was about 4 sizes too small. Tried to return and was only offered a 10% credit to be used on my next purchase. I will not order from this site again.

LightInTheBox order
May 13, 2023

1) It's easy to use the site and the app. There are lots of great products. Every ordered item was as expected. Only the colour of the bangs was different from the picture. But as it is real hair I can colour it. And it is better than expected. Super easy to use. I like it.
2) I have to learn how to use the coupons, but I think that the next time it won't be a problem.
3) I would be happy, if there had been a CASH ON DELIVERY payment option. I have never liked to pay online. For online payments I need help from someone else. If there were a cash on delivery option, I would order more often. Thank you in advance!
