This company is a scam.
September 6, 2022

Materials are so poorly made and far different from the original image of the site. Also, customer service info is fake. (No working addresses) I'll dispute this payment.

Me gustó la mochila, buen tamaño, muchos compartimentos, lo cual me resulta muy práctico. Unico inconveniente durante el embalaje y envío, que llegó con marcas que no se han ido. En general conforme con la compra.

I had ordered a dress as a gift. When the dress arrived, it wasn't the same as in the picture. The colors were "muddy" compared to the vibrant colors in the picture. Also, the dress was of poor-quality material and ill-fitting.
I requested returning the dress and asked for a full refund. LightInTheBox insisted to get any refund, I would have to ship the dress to China at my own expense, not the US address the dress came from. That means I would be spending more money on shipping than I would be getting as a refund. There is no legal reason I should not be returning the dress to the address it was shipped from. LightInTheBox has refused to give a full refund unless I do this. They have only offered a partial refund of the value of the item only.
LightInTheBox has displayed on its website that it has a policy of "Satisfaction Guaranteed", but they don't keep their word.
I STRONGLY discourage anyone from doing business with this company due to the unusable product and their unaccpetable business practices.

Dear dallas w.,

This is Chloe, supervisor of customer service, Lightinthebox. Thank you for leaving a comment with us. Your advice is very essential for us to improve quality issue and service level.

We deeply regret that our products don' t meet your expectation. We fully understand your frustration.

Please believe us that our company is in China and our warehouse as well. The address on package, the US address, is only USPS's warehouse. We are global trade company so we have to use the internatiaonl logistics to send the package to you.

From previous communication with other customer service, i found that Rose has refunded the money to your store credit to avoid the hassel of returning the product. If you want to withdraw them, i can help you. Is there anything else that i can help you to solve?

Feel free to contact us. Waiting for your kind response.

Sincerely,
Chloe

Send to China?
August 31, 2022

UPDATE: I wanted to add to my review that the product was a quality product. After hearing from the company that they actually had a sizing chart, which if I had read it I would have discovered their sizing was significantly smaller than American sizing. I've learned my lesson and will check next time.

The 3XL pants I received for my 6'4" husband are way too short and way too small for his frame. I am told I need to send them back to China? Won't this cost as much as the pants that I purchased? It was my mistake to order from them. I should have read the reviews.

My pants was the same as picture but with delivery cost it became so expensive. It wasn't worth it. Regarding this reason I would prefer to not use this website anymore.
