This the second time I ordered and the dress quality is very good and only thing is that the shipping took longer then what they say.
My mother who is 80 went on line to order £80 for two items. She did not make an account with Lightbox as she doesn't know how to. We are week 4 from her buying her items when mum said 2 weeks she should receive them. Still not arrived. Now mum will never order anything on line ever again. I wouldn't bother ordering from this company. I emailed them and they have not come back to me. It's a scam! Mum used my email address and I never got confirmation of her order.
Shipping time is my only complaint thus far. Only one order was received of several.
A few items were strange fitting to baggy, very low in the crotch.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try them on right away and missed the window for returning them. Otherwise my experience was good
Although I had a concern about this watch when delivered, Light in the Box satisfied my concern very quickly. The watch is sturdy, well-made and has amazing features. After playing around with the various controls for only a few minutes I found it simple to pair with my phone for making/receiving calls. The app was also easy to download and understand. I personally did not like the rubber strap, so ordered a leather replacement. Several of my friends are impressed and tell me they plan to purchase this watch.
Thank you for my order. Everything was perfect. I will order again.
I have been very happy with my orders from Light in the Box. Everything I have ordered is made from quality materials. I had one item that was damaged. I notified them through Customer Support. Their response was almost immediate and they took care of the problem within a couple of days. That is very important to me.
Le colis était conforme à la description, j'ai aimé. Cependant, le délai de livraison était long.

Thank you so much you guys are doing a great job love the prices and love the items cheers
Their shipping can take awhile to arrive, being as how their shipped from China, however, the products have been really nice. I have quite a few of their shirts now, and really like the look of them. They seem to be nicely made, and look pretty sharp.
I will not be doing business with you again because of the quality of your products and false advertisement

It was nice coat and leggings,like them very much but both was to small. Will order more things in future
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.
