ABSOLUTE TRASH
September 22, 2022

DO NOT BOTHER! I ordered 2 stranger things t shirts and a stranger things bag - all rubbish - severely bad quality, sizing and print! They are a total waste of your time and money! I am still waiting for a resolution! Telling me to send photos which I cant! Fobbing me off with discounts and small % refund! Or return and pay extortionate postage! I'm a totally honest person and will continue to slate LightintheBox at every possible opportunity if it saves and helps others from making same mistake as me! Buyers beware - yet another Chinese fraudsite!

Do not trust this seller - product doesn't look like the pictures posted. They use some very poor quality low resolution images for their products. I bought a Tiger print that looked like an 8 year old printed it using a home printer and a 1mb photo. The reviews at 5 stars are all fake - with bots posting over 2000 reviews to fight the popular opinion. This is a scam and it must be stopped.

I could literally put my finger through it.
It was supposed to have native North American art on it but what it actually had was lines of swastikas on it.
I pointed out it was highly offensive but the answer was you must be a whining jew?
Is that relevant?

Please find a different website. The products and customer service are awful.
I tried this because I thought it was Spanish site and I live in Spain. I made three orders within a few weeks of each other which included 5 dresses. 1 of which cost 64pounds. Only one of these dresses resembled the product description. The fabric, shape, size and design are inaccurate. The most expensive dress I contested and had to send photographic proof showing how the design was not as advertised. They tried to fob me off with vouchers, that I didn't want. After 12 back and forth messages, they finally agreed that if I return the dress they'll refund. It cost 23quid to mail back to China. They DID NOT refund the cost of mail. Absolutely disgusting. I will never use this website again. Neither should you. Find a better quality than these utter rip-off merchants.

Honteux, j'ai le droit de rétractation mais vous ne donner aucun formulaire de renvoi et de remboursement malgré l'assurance expédition et douane. Je suis toujours dans l'attente du retour avec biensûr le remboursement total de mes articles.
