Fraudulent
December 3, 2022

This company claims to take returns being unsatisfied. I have been attempting to return two items in less than 3 days of receipt due to miss sizing (conveniently there is no sizing in the items).They are claiming the items are made to order when they are not made to order items and will not allow you to return them

What a rip off!
December 3, 2022

Stay far away from this company and their plastic clothes. Bought a casual blazer ( several) shiny nylon. Pics in ads dont even close to the reality. You've been warned.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY
December 2, 2022

I bought some LED strip lights for my daughter's bedroom. Total cost was $30.86. The lights did not work properly so I contacted them for a refund. They made me take a video of the lights not working properly then offered me a 30% discount to buy them again. After emeailing back and forth for about 3 weeks they finally agreed to refund my purchase. They want me to send the lights back to China at a cost of $10-40, according to them. Then they will refund me $18. Bottom line - crappy product, horrible customer service and very slow relplies to my request for refund. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

Opened an account at lightinthebox.com and bought two hoodies there:

Photos are nice and reviews are fantastic, but I received garbage instead --- it sticks to whatever it touches and you get static electricity shock for every tiny movement wearing it.

Contacted customer service and got no response. Disputed from my credit card and lightinthebox lawyer claimed NO RETURN and NO REFUND policy that I overlooked opening my account on their site.

Money wasted and lessons learned —— Except Amazon.com and ebay.com, I haven't found other safe online shopping site to buy Chinese products.

Be aware.

Es ist alles Betrug.
Man lässt sich leicht von den schönen Bildern im Shop blenden, aber dann...
Es stimmen zum größten Teil weder die Größen noch die Farben.
Man bezahlt Zoll, Versicherung und Versand.
Obwohl alles aus Deutschland, *******-Friedrichsdorf, verschickt wird, soll man die Waren kostenintensiv nach China zurück schicken. Es werden keine Retouren Etiketten angeboten. Erstattet bekommt man 30 Prozent.
So verkauft diese Firma ihren billigen Müll in Deutschland und das ist sogar noch legal, was sich die Chinesen ausgedacht haben.
Fazit: Nie wieder bestelle ich etwas aus einem China Shop.

The order arrived very fast and in good packaging. The jacket is warm and comfortable, good quality for the price. I missed having side pockets but this is a personal preference.

I ordered two items that arrived. Thickness of fabric, colour and quality of print and best of all the sizes.
I have contacted them to gain a return and refund but continue to get automated question on product.
Absolutely the worst ever so please bin the app.

I have had a partial refund that almost covered the full cost but the experience was frustrating as seen in my review. I think vetting of product quality is required if they want to maintain the platform
