Don't buy from this company unless your order is one hundred (100%) correct as they don't do exchanges or refunds. They will give you a credit up to 25% of what you paid thus ripping you off the other 75%. This is a major ripoff if you make a mistake or the product isn't what you want. They do give you an option to return for a full refund but you are responsible for the international shipping back to China that cost more than the item so they are easy to get your money back hence the ripoff company if your order is wrong in anyway.

Update as 8/5/2022 - This is from the company as I have posted this review on several sites. As you can see, they want me to remove the review in order to get my refund. I will not remove my review in order to get the refund. I find this appalling as they are wanting to look good when they do wrong.
Company response - "Dear Customer

Thank you for your reply.

Will you please help me to remove the review on trustpilot so i can apply for a direct refund with no return for you.
As i will list on the application that the csm had removed the review, we may apply for a direct refund with no return as a special offer to the csm.
Thank you for your help.

Sincerely
Pinni "

Clothes never arrived
July 31, 2022

I ordered clothes on the 29th of May. Today is 31 July, clothes have not arrived. They had promised quick delivery within 2weeks. Now they blame a non existent pandemic. Other Chinese online shops are delivering efficiently so bad excuse.

Poor Quality
July 30, 2022

I ordered a mural which looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The resolution was terrible for the size and it was blue where it should have been grey. When I emailed them they tried to tell me it was a painting when it clearly was just a print and then tried to offer me 20% discount. I said that I wanted 100% refund but they said I had to return it to China at my own cost. Really unhappy.

Never got my merchandise-waiting close to August for sandals that were supposed to be shipped in April! Can't get a refund-just repeated misinformation emails that it was first received, then lost with coupons to waste more money on their subpar service. I had to do the work to share their incorrect tracking records and have to jump through hoops every time I communicate with them because they close my help ticket when they reply-not when the issue is resolved. Don't waste your time and money with Light In The Box!

Horrible
July 29, 2022

The items I've received are awful. They smell and look NOTHING like the pictures. I do NOT recommend. You also have to jump through hoops to complain or return something. Shouldn't be that complicated. Horrible
