This was absolutely the ugliest dress I have ever seen in my life! Came MONTHS after the event I ordered it for- reused a refund- wanted to give me in store credit
I bought a couple of items and used the size chart to base the correct size to order. Nothing fit! You have to enter your return for a ticket, of which there is no label for your return. All returns must be shipped to their warehouse in Asia which cost $30-$80 via ground. The shipping cost more than the items themself. Then, there is an offer for a 50% coupon of your shipping to purchase another item. All return requests must be authorized by their customer service team before shipping to the return address. They send you an email, of which you must reply within 24hrs or they close your ticket and you have to start all over again. Definintely not worth the hassle. Stay away from ordering their products.

Items look nothing like the descriptions or photos. Quality of products are cheap. Fabric very thin/cheap. Times are hard now for consumers and this company is misleading consumers to make money. STAY AWAY! Purchase from more reliable businesses.

Rispetto a quello che si vede è un po' più leggero
Molto bella... misura esatta... magnifica. Bellissima, originale.
Sunt foarte mulțumită de produse cumpărate de la voi.nota 10
Muy buena tela y a mi novio le quedo muy bien. Le gustó, definitivamente volveríamos a comprar
I was satisfied with the product as well as service, Thank you.
" in my order i known one difference. Im order Red stones line for the air line, in the shop says its 10pcs, but i got only 2pcs. Im really sad for this. Anything else is good."
The product I am not satisfied with came broken. Suspecting it was sent as a defective product because we didn't find proof of broken pieces in the package. At first I was furious about it and wanted to give 2 stars, however customer service saved it. And the rest of the products in the order was quite all right, especially the sweater and the tapestry with Halloween theme was surprisingly good. Shipment speed was fast and arrived early, which made me happy. To be fair, I will give 4 stars. Hope this site will improve and ensure that something similar won't happen in the future.

Très bon achat. Bonne qualité. Je recommande cette commande aux personnes intéressées
Unfortunately there were inappropriate and incorrect things. I opened a refund request and did not receive a reply
Ich habe das erste mal auf dieser Seite bestellt bin zufrieden nur bei den Größen angaben der Kleidung ist das unterschiedlich sie fallen nicht gleich aus eine 4xxl oder 5xl ist oft kleiner alsgedacht bei Oberteilen das ist schade
אוהבת להזמין דרך האתר. מחירים נוחים מאד וגם המוצרים איכותיים
I want to replace the shaver I ordered, it is not working
The dress I ordered fits me perfectly. I used the sizes offered in the site, and they proved to be correct. And the dress is as beautiful as it appeared in the photo.
Answer: Hello, I bought a few things and the quality was not very good and the sizing was totally wrong. I also bought a cellular charger and the battery inside was not soldered correctly. Lightinthebox has great price, but you pay for what you get, which isn't much. I have stopped buying from them.
Answer: Same problem... All thru email
Answer: We didn't buy a dress but the sizes are very small and the returns policy is a joke. I ended up losing money.
Answer: Dear Customer, we do recommend to you to refer to the size chart on each of the clothes first and then pick a suitable size for you.
Answer: Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We're really sorry that our company made you feel nervous. Please kindly note that the total delivery time = processing time + shipping time. So for the arrival date of your package. It depends on the processing time of the product and the shipping method you choose. About the processing time, please kindly check the processing time on the product page. About the shipping time, you mentioned you paid extra fee for faster delivery. If the service you chose was expedited shipping, normally it takes 3-4 business days for shipping. If it's standard service, then 5-8 business days for shipping. If the order is delayed, we'll take full responsibility of that and you can contact us through tickets. You can refer to this guide to contact customer service: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html
Answer: Will you send us your order number so that we can check?
Answer: Dont buy anything from this site. The picture is good, the object quality is garbage. You will be cheated and loose you money.
Answer: You NEVER get your money back... dont use them. I am amazed this company is allowed to trade, I am sure we have law's against this kind of practise.
Answer: Suggest not to buy. Might end up not receiving the order or received the wrong size and would be returning and paying shipping or requesting a refund or not receiving a refund at all. There's more legit company like Amazon where I bought the same one I ordered from Lightinabox, which I did not received. Sorry, but I would not trust this Co for anything. It' up to you to take the risk.
Answer: Count yourself lucky and DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! You will be disappointed in the clothing and size from this company. All of the clothing I received was horrible quality and did not look at all like the photo they had online. They were just plain awful and the sizing was a joke. I received an XL shirt that would not fit a small person and a Med shirt (was supposed to be the same shirt as the XL) and the medium was literally larger than a 4x One was a terrible quality plain sweatshirt with a sticker posted on it and the other was a draping long gown like garment. I was appalled.would recommend finding a different company.
