Not able to get money back on return
March 30, 2022

This review is to let everyone know that, it is not a wise idea to purchase from this website for its base is in China, and they have no guarantees when it comes to items being purchased or returned. I caution you!

I placed an order in error so I immediately tried to cancel. The cancel process they have outlined DOES NOT EXIST!
Submitted 5 tickets during the 4 days my order was in "processing" status. They only responded to 1 ticket requesting additional info which I submitted but still received no answer. Customer service is non-existent & they requests tickets for EVERYTHING but will not respond to tickets either.

I purchased 2 dresses, took a snap shot of my orders, they got one size order wrong. They refused to give me a refund, even though I was willing to pay for shipping to return item, and I was willing to purchase another size. I read their policy, which I complied with. Customer service takes 2 days each time to return a message on their web site. WILL NEVER buy from them again!

Not worth the cheap price

Dresses are like a costume from the 70's. Thin cheap fabric. Colors are not true to description. Bought 2 dresses and both are total trash!

Warning! I never received my goods
March 29, 2022

After 4 months I have not received my goods - and they will not give me my money back. An experience many others in this thread have had. Lightinthebox are stunningly indifferent no matter how much you turn to their customer service (By the way, count on one (!) answer every 24 hours - they love to exhaust you). They will not refund my money as they claim they have not received the package returned, which they have never sent. It's pure peasantry. Stay away! There are so many good companies that are better and cheaper, that you can trust Ligthinthebox is NOT one of them.

I order a size that is US size an the item did not fit. When I saw how many hoops you have to go through just to make a return (that you have to pay for) I realized this is so scammy. They give you the option to keep it and give you a small percentage back but what am I going to do with a dress that does not fit? Also, they tell you the cost of shipping to them back in China with tracking will be high so they prefer you go with the other options. This sucks. I spent over $125 that I will not be seeing back. DO NOT SHOP HERE!

Shoddy product.
March 29, 2022

Light in the Box are great, and I have made many successful purchases with them. Probably my own fault this time: the product was inexpensive, admittedly, but it really was cheap and nasty. I have kept it, as it would cost time and money to return it, but it will be going to charity. So, somebody might get something out of it…

Un excéllebt produit chez Light In the Box: relation qualité - prix. Un pyjama de tossu très doux, de style excéllent.
J'y reviendrai pourd'autres articles.
Je vous suggère d'ouvrir une section spécialisée en vêtement sport: football. De clubs et sélections nationales. Je crois que pourriez le faire aussi bien.

Merci.

Good site
March 29, 2022

The products seem of good quality given the lower price. They are like described and shown in pictures. Sizes can be somewhat confusing sometimes for some particular items, but generally they match the regular size, it is important to check this because the devolution process might be not worth it.
Shipping is usually the downside, because it can take some time around 2-4 weeks depending on your country. In my case I understood that and had no problem waiting.
