Thanks for commenting us and bringing this matter to our attention.

I have looked into your order and found that the cosply suit of Harley Quinn you purchased only had one glove. It clearly states in our prodcut page, please check it carefully.Our costumes are made exactly according to the prototypes in the film. If you'd like to have one more glove, we can check with our supplier whether they can reship a new one to you.

Look forward to your message.

Refunds

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I ordered women's jazz shoes size 40
I ordered women's jazz shoes size 40, I'm usually a size 39 and these were far too small. I wanted to send them back but Customer service is non existent. Can't even get their address or return label. No contact telephone no either.
Since writing this review, I have received a partial refund which I find it acceptable as to return the item I would have to pay return postage to China which is costly. Thank you Light in the box.

AWFUL
November 7, 2022

This company makes it expensive and difficult to return items that don't fit right. My package was sent from their warehouse in Queens, NEW YORK, USA however they want me to return items to CHINA. They offer a discount to keep the items which is useless ~ they don't fit! I do not reccommend the clothing. They may be inexpensive, but the quality of fabrics used is marginal. Sorry Light In The Box, never again.

I have tried over and over following their directions to contact support and return an item. The site just takes me in circles and there is no one available to help. Be warned. DO NOT buy anything from this company!

Tallaje grande. Portes muy caros
November 3, 2022

Es un riesgo comprar con vosotros. Si el tallaje es grande te lo tienes que quedar y no te lo puedes poner. La otra opción, el cambio o devolución no merece la preñan porque es muy caro.

After reading reviews and return policy, i thought id take my chances on ordering a couple dresses thinking the worse case would be, i had to pay for the shipping to return them. Well once i received them and tried them on, i found that they were very cheaply made, did not fit correctly in the armpit area and i was just overall very disappointed. I requested to return them. This is when i was informed they were "made to order" and not returnable. BEWARE! This is a scam for your money! My barbie doll dresses were made with better quality than these were. I couldnt be any more dissatisfied and wish i would have seen a review like this prior to my purchase! I hope this company gets everything they deserve... SCAMMERS! If i could give it a negative star rating i would...

Good Customer Service
November 4, 2022

Their Customer Service is good thus far. I'm returning two dresses and the people helping me have been very communicative and professional. I just hope the refund process is equally professional. The dress that I ordered was actually beautiful, and lively quality, just need to elaborate on the product descriptions in the website a little better.
