Disappointed
September 6, 2021

First time shopper. I ordered jumper in two sizes wanted to make sure one would fit. As im planning for my sons wedding. Received and neither one fit to my disappointment. Tried to contact customer service for ticket to return and received a reply made to order cannot receive refund. I'm the only working parent my husband is disabled and do not freely spend over $350 freely. Very disappointed with customer service policy and product.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I regret to hear about your problems.

Please be kindly noted both products are Made-To-Measure. It means we did not have any product in stock, no matter standard size or customized size. After you placed this order, we asked our suppliers to tailor 2 NEW jumpsuits for you specially. We clearly state the following information on the product page, under "Add to Cart" button:

【This is a Made-To-Measure item, which is produced one by one. All sizes and color choices, including all custom measurements, require additional tailoring time.】

We are sorry that you did not notice it before. Based on our policy, usually we are unable to accept return for any quality Made-To-Measure item. You can check the return policy statement in following link.
https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0

However, I truly value you as our customer and do really want to help you. So I had conducted new Ticket ID =24344631 in our ticket center and provide Special solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply and let us know your decision. Thank you for your cooperation.

Great quality for a competitive price
September 5, 2021

Received everything well packaged and in great condition. The time it took from order to delivery could be faster to my opinion. So that's why i don't give the full 5 stars. But other than that I'm very happy

Excellent service
September 5, 2021

Customer service is quick and friendly. They keep what they promise and they fx refund all customfees (if you have the insurance payed) as agreed. This is very nice system and you don't need to worry any unbleasend extra payments afterwards.
I have now ordered many times things from LTB and I have been pleasantly surprised all the toys and clothes from there. I recommend this company for everyone.

Then I get them, not what was pictured. What I recieved looked like a housecoat.
And are small. I was so disappointed. I contacted the company they wanted pictures. I sent them they wanted measurements. So they explained after a few emails I could send the stuff back to china at my own expense pay another 30 for shipping and get my dress money back. At this point I would be in the hole or they would give me a 13.79 refund. I have already paid 77.00 so be skeptical the clothes look beautiful but thats not what you get.
If you order order 2 sizes bigger than you wear. You can see it hangs flat not flowing and is made out of a Steen material. Not. Like the picture layered and flowing.
