Don't take the risk
July 21, 2022

I ordered ( after consulting the web site size guide) a size larger than my usual size. The item they sent me was so small I can't even get it over my head/ shoulders. Never mind the crappy crunchy-feeling fabric. Customer service did reply promptly but their only solution was that I must send it to China ( even tho shipped to me from Chatham) and I'm must pay for tracking. That will cost as much as the item did! Oh- or I can keep the crappy tunic and get 25% off my next purchase. Ha! There will never be a next purchase.
Live and learn.

When I received my order, there was not an invoice in the package. There was also no mention of the return policy anywhere on my online receipt. The items I ordered did not fit. I notified LightInTheBox 11 days after I received them and was told that I could not exchange the clothing or get a refund. The reason I was given was that the return policy was within 7 days! I have never done business with a company that has such a narrow time period for returning/exchanging items. BEWARE - don't wait too long to return/exchange any items. I will never shop there again!

It what it seems
July 21, 2022

I ordered a potential mother of the bride outfit in a standard size. When it arrived it was not the colour I expected and it was poorly made. When I requested a refund I was told this was not possible as it was a "made to order" item. I deliberately did not order the item as made to measure, this is an option, as I thought it may be difficult to return. Never did I think a standard size order would be unreturnable. I am now left with an expensive outfit that I will never wear so I advise anyone to not touch this company.

Dress made strangely! Some parts too large & some too small. Color & style not what was pictured. Will not wear it. Don't order no matter how cheap. If you want to return you have to pay shipping to CHINA!

The size was way larger than a size 8 as advertised, and the quality of the material is really, really cheap. On trying to make a return they insist on a return to china at customer expense (must be tracked) and also do not refund the full fee. So of my £57.25 purchase they only offer a refund of £50.25, and the cost of return is £12.50, so in effect £37.75 is my actual refund amount. They also tried to say I only have 7 days rather than the statutory 14 days stipulated by UK law, and it took 3 emails over 4 days just to get a return address. This is a thoroughly disreputable company, avoid at all costs.

Horrible company!
July 19, 2022

I returned a dress that was too small. It's been several months and they are just now telling me it was not returnable. I was NEVER told this up front, nor was the return policy listed anywhere until about the fifth communication between me and the company. Now I'm out $ approximately $100 for the dress, $25 for original shipping and $40 for return shipping! I HATE LightInTheBox!

Pésimo servicio post-venta
August 18, 2022

La soluciones que me dan con respecto a la petición de cambio de talla de la prenda que compré por ser excesivamente grande es, bien mandar dicha prenda de vuelta a sus almacenes, cuyo coste deberá ser a mi cargo y supera el precio de su compra, o bien quedarme la prenda (inservible para mí por ser mucho mayor a mi talla) y resarcirse con un "vale ridículo" por el 10% de lo q me costó.
