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!

Disappointed
February 22, 2023

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.

AVOID!
February 21, 2023

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.

February 21, 2023

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.
