Dear Sharon Stewart,

We are sorry to hear the shoes received didn't fit. Upon checking the ordered shoes have a Made-to-Measure sign-on product page which means we didn't have it ready-made in our stock but specifically tailored based on the size and heel type you chose. We have strong quality control in the warehouse so that customers could receive them as the order was submitted, hence it rarely happens product doesn't fit.

Could you please help us confirm if you have checked the size chart for shoes and submitted the order based on instructions?
Shoes measurement guide: https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/070f2325-8084-4ba8-956a-2912ddb26cbd

Could you please cooperate with us to provide the following information, it will be very helpful to confirm the issue and we will handle your case promptly.
1. Please tell us your foot length.
2. Please provide us with measurements and a picture using a tape measure to confirm the received shoe length. Please ensure the tape measurement is readable so we can confirm the details.

Once we confirm the issue, we will take full responsibility and help with the exchange or return process.
Meanwhile, if the product was received correctly, we are sorry Made-to-Measure products are non-refundable as advertised on our website since they were specifically made for your submitted order and can't be resold.
https://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/?page_key=Return-Policy-Warranty-PC&prm=1.34.146.0

We appreciate your kind understanding and looking forward to your soonest feedback. You can also reply me in the ticket 27040710.

Sincerely,
Customer Service

Disappointed
October 1, 2022

I purchased quite a bit... I order 3 pair of shoes 1 pair fit well enough to wear. Sneakers were so tackie nothing like the photo. Dress heels were very pretty did not fit plus cheaply made they wouldn't have held up someone over 100 lbs! The nightie I bought was a 4X. It should have came down to at mid thigh it barley covered my belly button. I have no way to return anything no number to call no email nothing! If I could return the stuff I was not able to wear pr atleast get a credit or my money back i would be able to deal with it... The only good thing I can say is everything I ordered was on time. Very disappointed! Won't be ordering again!

Button Fell Off After 3 Washings!
October 1, 2022

I bought this shirt because it looked cool in the pop-up ad, but that should have been my first clue, the pop-up ad. The shirt was a "Built in the 60s" meme henley shirt with a 3-button collar. After I wore and washed the shirt twice, it started to lose its shape at the bottom. The third washing resulted in the loss of a button. I would expect to get more than 3 uses from a $20 shirt.

Never again!
September 30, 2022

I received not only the wrong item but also the wrong size. It seems to be easier to join NASA that Light in the box for customer service so for me: this is it! NO MORE, NEVER AGAIN! If a company is ready to lose its name for 43.99$... so be it!

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:

AVOID SHOPPING WITH THESE SCAMMERS. They cancelled my order as soon as I'd entered my payment details. They still took the money for the order and there's no way to get ahold of anyone to get a refund or even to get them to process the order so it still ships the birthday presents to my nephew. Absolute time wasting site.

I am very happy with all the items I bought. Everything worked perfectly fine until the package arrived into Mexico. Customs charged a fee for the importation round US$80.00 pluse a servere delay for me to receive it from DHL. At the end everything worked out fine and I am still waiting to use the credit of US$40.- I am supposed to receive for my next purchase as a compensation for that Customs Fee

I'd rather give no stars
September 28, 2022

If I could put no stars I would
This is the worst company ever
I ordered two tops both the same size both arrived after a few weeks very poor quality one looked like it was photocopied material that was all blurry not at all like the photos the other was better quality though still poor but very small
When I tried to get a refund they came back with lots of deals - I didn't want a deal
They have a address is Walsall for undelivered items but according to them you cannot send back to there only China
When I eventually accepted 50% refund apparently
That was credit on their site of which I had already told them I would never be ordering from again
Then they have the audacity after several emails to send be a review there company
I will never go near this company again and I advise others not to aswell
