Most of the time I like what I purchased. I don't like when they substitute items for another or same color.

The two T-shirts have great images/memes. The material feels very soft and comfortable, too.

Unfortunately, one shirt was so small that my son had to give it to his (pre-teen) son. Fortunately, it fits him, and he likes both the design and the material.

PARA EMPEZAR, NO DEBEN COBRAR ANTES DE ENVIAR EL PEDIDO, TAL COMO HACE AMAZON, QUE TE APARECE EL CARGO AL MISMO TIEMPO QUE TE NOTIFICAN QUE EL PEDIDO HA SIDO ENVIADO. RATAS ALMIZCLERAS.

Terrible customer service. When other sites even sites like wish answers questions better than they do. When I first found them I immediately ordered six shirts and loved them. But the return policy and having to pay the shipment myself to send them back for a mistake that they have made in size is ridiculous
Especially when they won't even help you pick out the size when you send them your measurements. I like the stuff that I bought and had great deals but because of customer service I will not be purchasing from them anymore

I bought three dresses. Two of which I needed to return as they ran very small. They are listed as a company in New York. If you want to do a return, you have to pay for shipping to China. I struggled for days trying to get an address. I was suppose to get an email with that info and never got one. Part of the return procedure on the site did not work. Chatting left the issue unresolved. What a waste of money.

Earphones were ok, and work smart. The cable is ok. But the watch appears to have a lunette that is not engraphed but a sticker that easily (directly) got damaged. This is not visible from the pictures. Transport was ok and fast. Would not buy that watch for around 20 dollars again. It runs ok but the lunette is not properly designed and functions barely.

Very Pleased
January 18, 2023

I had an old shirt tear and googled the brand name. It connected me with LightITheBox. I bought what I thought was a similar shirt and while the material was different I was pleased as I was with both the pricing and delivery times. Most sites I've purchased form take months to deliver. LightinTheBox is usually here within2 - 3 weeks. I've made several more purchases. I like the styles offered for men. As soon as my relationship status changes I plan on using LightinTheBox to purchase for the woman in my life.
