Love this place. Highly recommend. I always have gotten great customer service and quality products
After waiting and waiting and waiting, we did not received the ordered items and once we requested a refund we were only able to get a partial refund!? Why? I paid full price and getting back 40%? This is obviously scam and it's all setup! Be smart, close the browser, don't buy from them, unless you want to be scammed. It's up to you!
I ordered an item based on the picture and description, realizing that it might not be exactly what I wanted; It wasn't. The return requirements seemed too onerous and costly to make returning the item a realistic option. I gave them a reasonable rating but not an excellent or outstanding one. But Lightning in a Box reached out to try to satisfy me. They refunded half the price while allowing me to keep the item. I think this reflects a strong desire to satisfy customers.

I ordered a top for my wife. It arrived earlier that promised. She loved it and great price.
They have really cute clothes, the sizing is usually on-point.
My orders come on time, and I'm always excited when I have a bit of extra $$$, I head to the lightningInABox App first!
Xo- from Canada
The material is very comfortable. The delivery was fast. I am very satisfied. I wish there was an XS size option and then it would be perfect

I ordered a mother of the bride dress. It was advertised as a light champagne coloured dress, it's actually a deep gold colour. The material is cheap had threads hanging all over it. The returns processes is disgusting they decide if they will accept it as a return and I have been advised it can't be returned for this reason. Never have I experienced an online shop with this returns procedure. They state its "made to order" never once did I give my bust and waist size I simply ordered a size 14. If it was made to order I would of requested it to be shorter as this is what I would require. Terrible lengthy returns process absolutely AVOID! Absolute waste of money! Had I had been aware they do not accept returns and how difficult the process is I would have never of bought from here.

Great product love the material, style, and comfort very pleased.
Fast shipping, great communication from the app, awesome quality of the wig!
J ai bien reçu mes articles en bonne condition dans un délais très raisonnable je vous recommande ce vendeur
Chaque fois que j'ai acheté de votre compagnie j'ai été satisfaite. Le seul problème est que c'est très long avant de recevoir notre commande.
With this order I found the turn around time between order and delivery to be great.
The delivery have arrive on time and is in my hand. Thank you.
The delivery time was as expected,the jacket was not as ordered but I decided to keep the one sent,did not want to wait another 2 - 4 weeks on return and delivery of original order.Jacket fits fine but is not a canadian x large,great doing business with LITB
I love it.the zipper came off,but i was able to place it back on.I hope you all have a blessed day.
I ordered a swimsuit which is always iffy, but I followed the measurements and the fit is great. The quality is good for the price and it arrived in the delivery window I was given when I ordered. First time customer and will order again.
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.
