No delay in the delivery. Great quality. Their products are really good.
In the begging my friend told me, don't buy from china because there products are very sheap and bad quality but i try to buy and i shocked with the quality
I'm currently in Kuwait, so ordering online isn't as easy as it is in Europe, but this website deliveres here no problem, so I have no issue in recommending in to those living in MENA.
Très bien reçu et elle est très confortable, j'aime la couleur et la grandeur est exacte
Delivered products super, missing products cash back
I order often. Im satisfied about 90% of the time. Large inventory of products and great low prices. Photos are not always true to the product. Size accuracy varies from one item to another. Have received damaged items. I continue to order because so many unique items and low prices. If it doesn't fit I just pass it on.
Have a great experience. My friends liked the colors.
I'm used to buying things on Wish, AliExpress, and Shein because they're more well-known. However, this store has a good assortment of stuff at decent prices and arguably the same or better quality than the other places I mentioned. They also have some really great T-shirts! I most recently got a T-shirt and a phone wallet. I was amazed at the quality of the shirt because it felt nicer than at other stores. The wallet and phone case inside was also better quality in the sense of the material and the strength of the magnet inside. The only thing that seemed cheap was the optional straps. Other things I've gotten from here been gifts to other people. There's a unique variety of product that's not seen in many places. I wish this website was more well-known! My only critic is when I see products like dresses or shirts that have glitter on them. It looks like it would come pixelated and printed on rather than have genuine glitter in the fabric. I'm not sure how it would come out, but that's what those specific product photos tell me. Other than that, this is a great place!
First time ordering and wasn't sure about product. Very pleased with sizing, fabric, and color.
Lieferzeit ist etwas länger aber kein Problem.
Das Zurücksenden ist nicht so einfach die Korrospondens in englisch ist für mich nicht so schnell verständlich..
It has been easy to shop. The delivery at home is also something I like. I an sutisfied with everything I have orded.
Different fabric that I thought, but light and sewn great! Schouder means hips and luckily I bought the right size. The print is a bit blurry, but I actually love it like that!
Loved the dresses I ordered but they are not true to size… one fit well, the other was made for a Barbie doll sized person… it was a xxl, I gave it to someone who wears xs, oh well, I blessed someone
Although one of the shirts I ordered was a little larger than expected and the men's shirt had a tapered bottom that I didn't expect, the material was nice and we enjoy them.
Not received my items tracking number want pull up send me emails trying get me to order never never would I do bussiness again if I knew it was china no way. I ordered seat cover from China 3 years ago still not received them
I received two of my items as expected and was very pleased. I ordered a pair of thigh high socks and I only received one sock in the package.
It took to long to get my order I wasn't informed that you where out stock till days later
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.

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.
