They must get away with scamming customers and not responding as they hide behind a foreign Chinese company. They sent wrong size clothes. Charged me $45 to return them next day October 2022. Just received the package back in the mail May 2023 with a stamp on outside envelope saying refused. Never opened the package. They will not refund my $250 purchases. What a scam.

The delivery service did not advise me that the package was here when they brought it to my apartment building. They just left it in the lobby.

My shopping
May 11, 2023

I have ordered a wide range of products from light in the box. I would highly recommend this app.easy to use,secure payments,good communication, quality products speedy delivery. One time I needed a refund the payment was back in my bank within a couple of days. Refund was due to a flash sale product selling out.

I love these STUNNING heels! Gorgeous just like the photos and durable. Just pay close attention to the size charts and measure your feet. I usually size down a half size for heels but found no need to with their sizes. The shoes might come with a factory smell but they air out with a day or two. In my opinion, worth saving hundreds :) I feel like a queeeen when I wear these shoes and I've held off buying them for so long because I didn't realize there was this affordable option.

Super cute clothes
May 11, 2023

I received regular correspondence about the progress of my order, it arrived in the time frame expected. Out of the 5 items I ordered only 2 of them fit 2 items were too small and 1 item was too big. The company was easy to deal with as far as my returns, however they basically prefer to have you keep the items and get a 60% refund. Seems like it will be a hassle to actually return the items and get a full refund. This makes me wonder if this is a regular money-making pattern for them? At any rate I took the 60% which was promptly made available to me to use within 3 months. I have not used it yet, but wonder if my replacement items will then be too large/ small and go through the same process where I lose out on my refund?

Bad return possibility
May 11, 2023

I bought 3 items for a total of NOK 900. They didn't fit at all so I wanted to return them. It was an almost impossible task to get the return document filled out. The shipment was then to be returned to China. It cost NOK 266 without insurance. With insurance it would cost much more. I am not sure if I will get my original outlay back.
Previously I have had good experience with the company.

Not all as expected
May 10, 2023

Nice tiles, but you have to keep everything which isn't fitting or convenient as sending goods back is in your own - high - costs.
