Turn around time
October 24, 2022

First of all I could not find any way to actually send a message directly to this company but mostly I'm disappointed in these companies that will take your order and not even for fill it for a full week I think if a company can't turn around and order and ship it within a reasonable period of time they shouldn't be selling online it's a disservice

On size matter, please understand that our suppliers are from different areas so that their size are different, therefore, we provide a Size Guide in our product page which provide measurement and a clear size table. I hope it will help you. I prepared a sample picture for your reference:

I ordered a coat and chose the size based on the sizing chart on the website. The coat arrived quickly but was at least 2 sizes too small so wanted to return it. The cost to return the coat to China from Canada was $30+ meaning I'd recoup less than 50% of the purchase price. The other option was to keep it and get a 20% credit, which I chose to do but the credit is not applied to the card I used to purchase the coat instead it is applied as a credit to their store and then I have to go through another process to transfer the credit from them back to my card. Ridiculous to say the least. I will certainly never buy anything from them ever again and shame on me for not reading thevreturn policy more thoroughly before ordering.

Traje dos piezas para estar en casa.
October 20, 2022

Un "dos piezas" de bonito diseño. Cómodo y elegante para estar en casa...
Sugerencia: si el tejido fuera un poco mas denso, sería super-perfecto. Es un modelo muy bonito. Con un collar largo: excepcional...

I ordered a couple of T-shirts from this site. One arrived and the printing on it is so blurry I thought I needed to get my eyeglass prescription updated. No customer service contact, no phone number, and their chat line just stopped responding. 40 minutes and nothing. Do not buy from this company and spread the word that they are slimeballs.

I have been using LightInTheBox for about two years now and I have to say that I have never been disappointed. Their customer service is on top. I had a package delivered but I wasn't home and it has been returned to the shipper. I explained the situation to customer service and, although it wasn't in their policy, Amira Mostafa, got out of her way to help resolve my problem and made sure that the package would be re-shipped to me, with 0 costs added. I am so grateful for her and for her help! Thank you, again!

We measured the size of the waste and no matter what you buy, they are all the same size and made for a malnourished Chinese teenager. My fiancée is 28 or 29 inch waist, 100lbs lighter than me and they barely fit her.

I ordered an item 20 days before I needed it for an event, but it was still processing after 18 days. I cancelled the order without any problems and was given a full refund. I may order from Light in the Box again in the future, but not if I need the item within the same month.

Quick delivery
October 18, 2022

The delivery of my ordered goods was quick enough. The quality of the goods was mainly low. The cheaper the price the lower the quality to expect, according to what I received.
