Unreliable service and product
March 22, 2023

I'd give them no stars at all if that was an option. I've ordered clothes and a light fixture from LightInTheBox and both have been bad experiences. The clothes are of very poor quality and cheap materials. The light fixture didn't come with instructions. They only provide customer service via emails. When billed, the charges are coming from a US address, but it is very obvious their site and customer support are from China. After several attempts to get installation instructions, they sent a blurry one-page pdf with instructions that have horrible grammar and basically, illegible. Also, turns out the light fixture wiring does not meet U.S. wiring standards, nor do the wires have the correct "ground/hot" connections to connect properly. They have a no-return policy for any light fixtures. I'd suggest buyer beware; spend your money elsewhere.

Excellent Swim Shorts!
March 22, 2023

I gave the highest rating because I received the order ahead of schedule, there was good tracking control, and the size of the XL coincided with my size absolutely. The color and quality of swimming shorts are very good. I recommend for shopping.

I received the incorrect item in the post after waiting for an extended period of time already. After enquiring if it would be returned and exchanged for the correct shirt, the response I received back was unsatisfactory for the mistake they had made. Their response can be seen below.

"Considering the problem confirmation is quite time-consuming, we can go with a simple way that you can keep this item with a (a) REWARD (values 50% of item price, same as a coupon/voucher, can be used on next order for discount) or (b) a partial refund (30% of item price) as the discount on this order.

March 21, 2023

I like to buy online, so I try and is easy to follow and finish the process, what I don't like is that they take a lot of time to send, is confusing when you buy the item says 3 to 5 work days,,,,, then arrives after 12 work days at the end took a long time to arrive.

Excellent
March 21, 2023

Toutes mes commandes ont fini par arriver
Les envoies sont rapides mais par la suite suivant la destination, les transporteurs sont plutôt mal organisés exemple mon colis arrive a Sidney en Australie puis plus de nouvelle pendant plusieurs semaine pour la Polynésie française. 3 mois ce sont écoulé avant de recevoir mon colis 3 mois entre Australie et la Polynésie
Je pense que l'Australie au niveau transporteur devrait faire des efforts sur le délai
