Fast shipment. Quality of the item was very poor. Comfort and size was perfect. But again, the quality was crappy at the best.
I understand the clothes are shipped from China and the return shipping is on me. However, the language used when trying to initiate a return is not appreciated. It is clear that this company tries diligently to discourage a customer from returning items. The wording included phrases such as the return could take 6 or more weeks to be received, company could not guarantee it wouldn't get lost in transit, and it could cost me $10-$40 to ship back. I was offered a small discount (5-10%) of the entire order (2 items) if I would keep the items. My total order was about $75 and doing the math it wasn't worth my time or effort to send back the items. I will donate them, and I will not shop this site again.
Tout était parfait. La qualité est belle, les prix sont bons, je viens de placer une autre commande. Merci
Received the shirts, all are polyester. My fault I thought they were cotton. And one shirt was not part of the order, received the wrong one. But loved it and gave it to a friend.
One of my order wasn't correct they gave me the wrong tracksuit. That didn't look like in the picture of the clothes product of the tracksuit. But the delivery came on time
Good transaction, received items order quicker than expected!
While it may have taken a few days to be delivered, it is a quality product with the sizes matching their online sizing chart. I paid $32 CAD for one of their shirts and I am very happy.
Second time ordering and second time happy.
Conforme à l image très beau un peu juste mais c est correct donne un bel effet associé à la robe
A couple of items were to small and it cost to much to ship back I had to donate them away.
Love the dresses I ordered for my trip to Egypt. They are perfect and fit well.
Great customer service and tracking provided
Reliable company
Everything was great! No complaints. Look forward to ordering again.
Received in good condition but delivery date was later than expected
Shirts were even more colorful that pictured unfortunately it took over 2 and 1/2 weeks to get product status of delivery was incorrect as well
I loved everything but the bra. The bra was too small.
Order two Steering Wheel Covers, They t[k a bit longer to get here as they are made to order from China.1 fit very tight, 2nd one was way too small and the stitches came apart, was never able to get it on. They state will fit15 to 15.5 inch. The 15 inch Steering wheel, the cover made it on but it was a struggle, not so good on the 15.5 inch Steering Wheel. They are working to replace it, but is is a tedious process.and I'm still working on that.They are heavy duty and look like they will last, once on.
Excellent quality tshirts and shipping right on time.
Sizes fit large.
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.
