Do Not Use
August 16, 2021

This company sells very cheaply made items at very expensive prices. They will either not let you post a bad review, or if you can get a bad review past them, they do not include the low review rating against the product. I am currently one of two reviews on a product. The product page shows "Reviews (1)". And the star rating I left, one star, did not bring the five star rating down from five stars to two/three but remained at five. This company is purposely dishonest and should not be able to do business.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I will follow up your case.

We regret to hear both dresses did not meet your expectation. But please be advised that your dresses are Made-To-Measure items. It means that we did not have any dress in stock. After you placed this order, we asked the suppliers to tailor 2 NEW dresses for you specially. We clearly state this information on the product pages. We are really sorry that you did not notice it before.

From your previous message, we are unable to confirm if our dresses have any quality issue. Based on our policy, we are unable to accept return for any non-quality Made-To-Measure items. You can check the return policy statement in following link.
https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0

But I truly value you as our customer and do really want to help you. So I had conducted new Ticket ID =24232274 in our ticket center and provide new Special solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Please keep in touching with us by replying the ticket as all the information will be recorded in system. Thank you for your cooperation.

I ordered several watch bands for my son not realizing that the order was being delivered from China. I have to say the experience was very smooth. The tracking for my order was excellent so I always knew where it was and it arrived in a surprisingly short time. Plus the price was unbeatable. I would recommend this website.

Sito affidabile, non veloce consegna
August 14, 2021

I prodotti sono validi, con molta attenzione alla grafica, il che mi fa molto piacere. Le taglie sono rispettate, il che è molto importante. Unica pecca la spedizione un po' lenta. Il sito è un po' disordinato/disorganizzato, si dovrebbe rendere più facile per il consumatore, che ci si perde abbastanza facilmente. Questa è un'esigenza ed un consiglio per arrivare a 5 stelle.

I received in a reasonable time the faucets I ordered. I am impressed that is a high quality product at a good price. It works perfectly and as an engineer I appreciate the effort of LightinThebox team to technically check the products before having them on the market. Great job guys!

Diálogo difícil
August 13, 2021

Quería devolver dos piezas de una compra de 4. Me contestaban solo al correo de una de las piezas. Finalmente me comunicaron que anulaba la devolución de la otra pieza porque era una petición duplicada. No les he contestado porque han acabado con mi paciencia. Tampoco creo que les compre muchas más cosas...

Evviva i gatti!
August 13, 2021

Questo sito è un must per chi ama i gatti. Ci sono delle bellissime magliette e degli speciali vestitini a t-shirt con raffigurazioni di gatti. Io ho fatto molti acquisti su questo sito, che è cinese, e ho trovato prodotti che in Italia non ci sono. Il servizio clienti è ottimo. Peccato che ci siano difficoltà di spedizione; perché bisogna pagare il dazio e mi sembra anche l'assicurazione. I tempi di consegna sono lunghissimi. Io sono italiana, e dall'Italia alla Cina il percorso è lungo. Io questo lo immaginavo; ma i prodotti erano talmente belli che mi sono disposta ad aspettare. Danno la possibilità di reso; ma con tutto quello che bisogna pagare, forse è meglio accettare il rimborso parziale spese che danno. Danno anche dei buoni sconto Ci sono stati dei problemi; ma sono stati risolti. In definitiva, io do cinque stellette. Riguardo al mio ordine ******* devo dire che la mia maglietta bianca e nera con raffigurazione di gatto è stata molto apprezzata.
