I am happy with the products I've received so far … they seem to match their description and are of good quality. The only thing that I'm not satisfied with is the lengthly shipping times. To be a big competitor you must get your products to the consumer much quicker if you expect to compete with the likes of Amazon.

Merchandise never received. Received notice the USPS couldn't deliver due to "incomplete address. Never have this issue with any other company. Address was correct. No way of resolving matter by phone. Chat on website useless. Alerted credit card company to investigate. Beware. I was told by my credit card company customer service dept that they get 3-6 calls a week about Lightin the box...similar issue.

April 4, 2023

Understanding the shipping process and time to receive is vital to a pleasant and satisfactory order. My experience was great, received my orders on time. Received communication as to when my order was shipped, arrived, and out for delivery. That's more than most companies that are out there. Thank you LightInTheBox.

Excellent service
April 4, 2023

My experience is based on multiply orders that I've made and received until now. I've ordered mostly clothes for women and men, plus couple of handy staff for my garden. All the orders were delivered on time, all the products were of a good quality and the prices are amazing. The only you need to be careful about is sometimes the sizes. In overall, I'm very happy customer and I can only recomend this portal. Thank you Light in the box!

Great products for your money
April 4, 2023

I have bought a lot of clothes through Light in the box. Most of the items are true to size. Some you have to size up or down. Just make sure you read the comments.
I have been very pleased with my purchases. I do have a complaint with the slow shipping.
I also have had them send me a wrong item which was supposed to be a gift and the item they sent was not able to be used by anyone. That ended up being a total waste of money.
For the most part I do love everything I have ordered.
