Other than slow shipping, everything has been of good. The items have been of good quality at great prices.
Estoy muy satisfecha y agradecida con tan buena atención. Si bien el Correo Uruguayo tiende a complicar las entregas, los envíos por DHL son rápidos y seguros, y Light siempre me han solucionado los inconvenientes. Estoy contenta con las compras realizadas, muchas gracias!
It came sooner than expected. The clothes were correctly sized. Everything wonderful.
I paid to have my ordered expedited thinking that you know, the order would be expedited. I had a major event and I was excited to receive the items for the event. Unfortunately, even though I paid for the express shipping option, and during check out the date of arrival given was prior to the event, I was informed today, the 25th, that actually my items would not be shipped until this Friday, which is late, and would be too late for my event. The customer service agent, Abby, that responded to my inquiry said I could "wear the items for the next event." Excuse me?! Like thanks but no thanks, this is a major moment in my career and I needed these items for this event specifically. So basically this company took my money just to not ship my items in the time I paid for them to be here. They are a SCAM. Do NOT order from here!
I know I've gotten the orders I've made but don't know which order it was.
It's my second time *******@LITB and the purchase arrived as described even faster than stated. Would definitely recommend it to friends and buy things again in the future.
Ma commande de était très bien et j apprécie beaucoup votre service
One dress was very see through.
One dress was very hard to get into.
The last dess design looked horrible on my body.
I have sent these dresses back to China, and was astounded that is cost over $92.00 to send via canada post using the most cheapest track way possible.

THE ITEMS ARE GOOD, BUT THE WAITING ON PREPARATION AND SHIPPING IS HORRIBLE. ACCORDING TO THEM I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MY ITEMS BETWEEN 3/27 AND 4/8. I RECEIVED MY ITEMS ON 4/20. IF THEY CAN GET BETTER AT THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT SITE. IT'S STILL A GOOD SITE THOUGH. JUST BE PREPARED TO WAIT AT LEAST A MONTH.
Shopping with light in the box was an excellent experience.
I really like the deep colours. My cushion covers did really met my expectations and more.
My friends liked them and asked me to share with them the light in the box website.
La livraison fut fort longue, la chemise annoncé en lin avec les motifs n'est pas en lin et les motifs ne correspondent pas à la photo de présentation.! Après un contacte rapide de l'interlocuteur du service après vente Megha une solution financière à été proposée à mon problème. Ceci me redonne confiance en ce site de vente.

Found the whole shopping experiance very easy and stress free. Products were well described and the sizes fitted the description accurately/correctly. Delivery was faster than expected and it was great to have everything delivered home when it suited me.
Très beau je vais recommander. Pour l'es retour je ne suis pas certaine
I loved the ease of finding everything I want in one call and in good quality
The best flash sale online! A great place for low cost fashion. I didn't have to wait two months to receive my order. I am addicted.
I was skeptical at first but I received my purchase and was very satisfied. I've already made my 2nd purchase
Great price for the quality of the product watch your sizing it's all over the place.
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.
