It cost way too much to return items
January 7, 2023

Considering you are buying clothing sight unseen, it's ridiculous for them to require you to pay to return unsatisfactory items. I used thier measurment guide, and measured myself, to order pants. One styre in medium fit fine. The other fit was way too tight and too short. Beside they didn't look anything like the picture. Description said linen pants, they were some sort of cheap, stretchy material, not at all like linen. Did not have wide bell bottoms as pictured. But I probably would have cost more than they were worth to send them back. They offered me a whole.88 credit to just keep them. I won't buy any more if I can't expect a full guarantee of fit or quality.

As per my experience last year I ordered one dress which was very nice. This year I placed bigger orders and none of the products met my expectations. The products do not match the pictures at all. The products are of very poor quality and there is too much delay in delivery. Totally disappointed.

Resolved query

Although the item I ordered was not to my liking, when I contacted Lightinthebox they sorted out my query to my satisfaction. It's good to know customers can get a personal reply in such situations.

Admittedly; I ordered not realising this was just another Chinese webshop. Sizes were much smaller than expected and returns suddenly were costly.
So. Enough reason to avoid lighthinginthebox for future sales.

CALIDAD Y TIEMPO DE ENTREGA
January 6, 2023

HE COMPRADO TRES VECES YA EN ESTA PLATAFORMA, TENIA TEMOR POR LA ENTREGA YA QUE TUVE UNA EXPERIENCIA CON OTRA PLATAFORMA DONDE NO ME LLEGARON LOS PRODUCTOS Y NO ME DEVOLVIERON MI DINERO.

SIN EMBARGO, AUNQUE SOY DE MÉXICO EN LIGHTIN THE BOX TODO HA SIDO ENTREGADO A TIEMPO Y DE LA CALIDAD QUE CIERTAMENTE DICEN. SEGUIRÉ COMPRANDO AHÍ.
