Had one item wrong size shipped otherwise very happy
Delivery was good quality was good fits good bras sports and leggings
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.
They sent the wrong size. I asked for a 3x and I received 1x, on both items! The jacket and pants were the wrong size.

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.

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.
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!
I was very satisfied with the delivery and the prom dress that was ordered, however very disappointed with the top that was purchased. It was nothing like the picture displayed!
My experience with LightInTheBox has been great. I saw a pair a shoes that I liked and the reviews told me that I should take a chance on buying them. The shoes and the service were above my expectations. I am quite pleased with the quality of LightInTheBox.
I custom ordered a three piece dressy pant suit for my Grandson's wedding. It came with perfect measurements and the quality is very good.
I am all over satisfyed with Light in the box. Sometimes the fabrick is terrible and the the items do not fitt, Then the people at Light in the Box orgenize things to my satisfaction.
Easy transaction all the time, reasonable shipping and delivery time, products as advertised - no surprises. Thank you!
Easy ordering. Big variety of items to pick from. Shipping takes a long while.
The sizing of items and quality varies greatly. I've received great items and others are not good
I would like to express my appreciation for the courtesy and support from Light in the Box. The dress is beautiful and will make me feel so special.
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.
I ordered 4 items. All arrived in good time and are good quality items and sized correctly. BUT...two of the items do not match the photo/description even closely.

Would have given a 5 star, except for the postage fees are too high.
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.
