Do not buy from this company. I ordered a dress for a wedding. The dress got to my house one day before the wedding. No time for cleaning or steaming. The shoulders were droopy. It was a teal green instead of a wheatgrass green. I would have looked like a clown in that color. The tags are still on the dress. I ordered a standard size 8. When asked if I could return for a refund, they said it was a "tailored" dress and they could not accept it back. Since when is a size 8 tailored?
There is no one person to speak with - all communication is done through chat and email. Very frustrating.

Not okay
March 25, 2022

The item I bought took too long + I ordered a medium size and it's as an extra large. Too difficult for me to go out to a post office and pay to get it back to China.

I am so very upset with this company. Clothes are terrible and of very poor quality. Hard to get return info so I can return items. Took forever to get it. Order on March 3 got them March 24.
I want all my money back and return mailing fees. It cost $50 to get them. Ugly material, thin and too small, too long, weird fit!

The quality of the product wasnt good. Then they made the return process impossible. Wanted pictures, measurements, and answered slowly to stretch out the process. When they finally agreed, they only gave us option to return to their warehouse in China at our expense with tracking, a $70 cost. We reversed charges on card instead. I'll return if you give me a label to return or a US address. Policy obviously designed so they can discourage people from returning.

Terrible return policy
March 23, 2022

Ordered my wedding shoes, paid $130, followed their size guide, they delivered it so fast I was impressed but when I got my shoes, it wouldn't fit. I submitted a ticket for refund but they don't provide free shipping TO CHINA! Shipping fee to China from Canada would be the same amount as my shoes! Terrible refund policy light in the box!

Męskie Kurtka Sport Codzienny
March 22, 2022

Męskie Kurtka Sport Codzienny Jesień Regularny Płaszcz Kołnierz stawiany Luźna Keep Warm Oddychający Sportowy Elegancja Kurtki Długi rękaw Jednokolorowe Haft Niebieski Khaki Zieleń wojskowa #*******
Co do czasu przesyłki żadnych zastrzeżeń
Jakość wykonania bez zarzutu
Kurtka raczej na cieplejsze dni
Ogólne wrażenie pozytywne
Minus to rozmiar, brałem i tak z lekką tolerancją ale to za mało, rękawy o dwa centymetry przykrótkie

Ogólnie POLECAM tylko uważnie z numeracją, radzę brać dwa rozmiary większe /no chyba że ja miałem pecha/.

Deceptive practices
March 22, 2022

I ordered a dress. The dress was not true to size. It was tight in the back, and extremely large in the bust area. The material of the jacket was cheaply made. When I asked about the return policy, they gave me the run around, from sending them pictures and ending with they cannot return made to order items. In my order, there was never a mention that I ordered a made for order dress.

Stiefelbewertung
March 22, 2022

Das sind wirklich sehr auffällig schicke Sommerstiefel.
Preis/leistungsverhätnis stimmt.
Für die Preise bei lihgtinthebox muss man eben in Kauf nehmen, dass
Der Versand etwas länger dauert.
