Terrible
January 1, 2023

Their products are ok. My complaint is this: can't see my order! So I can't change anything. They charged me for 2 pr. Boots. I only ordered 1 a pair of GREY boots. Don't think I will use them anymore. Difficult to get any help.

Wat haastwerk...
January 1, 2023

Bestelling mooi op tijd ontvangen, echter nergens een label te vinden m.b.t. De gebruikte stof(f)en en ook geen waslabel. De naden zijn soms erg krap genaaid waardoor scheuring makkelijk plaats kan vinden...

Bought a toy for my child. It arrived faulty. Told Lightinthebox they asked for photos and videos all sent showing clearly the item it is faulty. They have told me they're speaking with their suppliers! Disgusting response when they owe me a full refund. Had a disappointed child at Christmas and now due to their lack of care am out of pocket. I expect a full refund and all they are doing is wasting my time. Horrific!

Perfect size. Perfect Service
January 1, 2023

Sometimes it's difficult to trust that I'll get the right size when ordering from certain sites. However, these beautiful and well made jackets were sized perfectly. Communication during transport was excellent and I received them very quickly. Thank you very much for such excellent servicej

Disappointed
January 1, 2023

I had issues with all the clothes I ordered: the sizes were never the same on the 3X or the Small sizes clothes. Some were too large, others too small. Also, the quality of the fabrics was unacceptable. I will never use LightinTheBox again for my purchases.

Cardigan (4XL label) for Christmas. Doubt it even XL. Would have to pay to send back to China before refund of just the product. Really? Beware of sizing and consider no option for refund.

Great customer service
December 30, 2022

I ordered 5 shirts for my husband for Christmas, but was not quite happy with how they fit, so I immediately contacted their customer support team. They offered several options, including coupons for future purchases through them, but eventually I opted for a full refund. Since this product comes all the way from China, I would have had to pay for shipping but they waived that for me and not only said I can keep the shirts, but also refunded me all my money. This is very unusual for a company to do, but I noticed on their website that they sell many different products, and I will consider buying other things from them since they were so reasonable and helpful, despite the fact that they are on the other side of the world (I am in the US). Also, they are very prompt at responding, giving very clear and specific information and trying to help to make the customer happy in the end.

Don't believe the shipping dates
December 30, 2022

The shipping dates said December when I placed the order. I am going to Mexico Dec 31st. After I paid, the shipping dates changed to Jan 2,2023 and then changed again to Jan 4,2023. So first, I won't have the clothes for my trips Second, the delivery will be made when I'm not home to get it. Very poor customer service. No way to contact them,
