Not Happy.
April 11, 2023

You have a very poor return policy. I was not happy at all when the item was not made of material that is suitable and that the type of material was not explained in the product info section.

Looking for a pair of dance shoes was a great experience since LightInTheBox had so many style choices as well as various colors and sizes. I found just what I needed and the shoes arrived on time and in great condition.

Very nice dress and swimsuit
April 11, 2023

My order was made in February but I didn't see that the dress was taking a month to be prepared. Customer service was really nice to split my order, so I could be sure to have te rest before my trip.

Poor quality
April 11, 2023

The quality of the merchandise was not great. I would have returned it but the cost of return postage to somewhere in Asia isn't worth it. No future purchases from me!

The dress material was not as it was pictured and the fit is horrible I received the item days after it was promised and I want a refund and it's almost impossible because of how you cannot reach their customer service if you email it bounces right back so I consider this site a scam don't do it I will work with my credit card company to get this reversed

Good Fit
April 11, 2023

The clothes orders are true to size. You do need to review the sizing guidelines for each item before ordering. The linen items were a little wrinkled; but it is linen. Considering the price, I don't mind using the iron. How does the product look? Taken into account the pricing, the quality is good. I would order from this place again.

Just what I wanted!
April 11, 2023

I ordered several things. They arrived quickly (for overseas delivery), were better quality than from other suppliers, and fit as expected. LightInTheBox is a reliably good source - buy with confidence.
