I purchased two headbands and was told it would take a week to ship but it took a month. When it arrived it was not what I expected it was cheaply made. I tried to return it and was told that it wouldn't be worth it for me to return because the shipping to China is very costly. Meanwhile they shipped it to me from a town three towns over. Their entire company is a joke and the way they spoke to me was rude.

Ottima esperienza
May 24, 2022

Come prima volta su questo sito ho acquistato due maglie da ciclismo scelte per il disegno simpatico ed il prezzo molto contenuto. Seppure mi aspettassi qualcosa di qualità modesta ed invece sono rimasto colpito dall'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Quindi esperienza positiva

Return policy is terrible!
May 24, 2022

I ordered things and most were cheaply made and looked terrible. The return policy is 7 days (items I wanted for vacation arrived late after I left, and even if I had received them timely they could only be returned within 7 days to China at my expense).

I am extremely unhappy with my order. The quality of the dress was very poor and the style was completely different from the images provided. I have now tried to return the dress back, but the company keeps stringing me along with various excuses. After several messages, I finally got a return address which turned out to be invalid. All in all, they do not have a method for you to return the faulty goods. Please, do keep away from this company if you can. You would think that companies offering on-line shopping possibilities would take more pride in their work. Light in the box does not understand, that this level of customer service will eventually only hurt them. Poorly done Light in the box!

Don't Order from this website
May 23, 2022

I placed an order with this website for a few shorts for the summer. I ordered six items and only one of them was somewhat okay I could make due with it. The other 5 items were the worst quality! Not made well cheap material and definitely nothing like they were shown in the pictures. I can't wear any of them they are useless items. I message customer service. Which takes forever to get a response. They offer me 15 percent back and I don't have to return them. So now I have wasted my money and I have garbage to get rid of.
They send me a ticket to return but you have to pay for the shipping back. Which is not right. If I ordered wrong sizes I can understand that. But to pay for the shipping back after I already paid for them to ship me these garbage items. Would NEVER Shop at this site again complete waste of your money. I would give less then 1 star if I could

Do not waste your money and time. Poor quality merchandise and slow shipping. To get a refund you need to ship back to China AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE. So basically you can't get a refund because it costs more to ship to China than the original price you paid. Absolutely terrible policy.

STOP STOP STOP
May 22, 2022

The merchandise is junk. The pictures displayed are not what they send you. The size charts are a disaster. I ordered two pairs of shorts that are supposed to fit a 38 waist. They fit my son who is a 29-30. I have a shirt that I never wore, I washed it on delicate cycle and it came apart at the seems. They won't refund you money for anything. It doesn't matter if you send them pictures, they will shuffle representatives so you never get a straight answer. I should have tried hem out first but I trusted the site and put in a large order. It's all junk.

I ordered 2 dresses. One was cheaply made, the colour was off, stitching was loose, the other was too big. When I tried to return them, I was given the run around. Never ever buy from them!

Mi compra tardó en llegar mucho más de lo que te dicen en la página
Compré de acuerdo a la tabla de tallas que recomiendan y los vestidos me quedaron enormes y los monos apretados.
Trate de regresar la compra y no me lo han permito.
