I really enjoy so shopping on Light in the box
August 1, 2021

I use light in the box really often, because I can find nice pieces of clothes with low prices. True, shipping can take some time but it's worth waiting.

Products vs Price: I have ordered plenty of products via Light in the Box. At first, I was a bit confused because of the cheap price but, at the end, I was shocked that the quality is so good. The products were exactly what were described on the ads.

Customer service: I have been so happy that the customer service always shows willingness to give me the best solution for my problem and reply in relatively fast speed (with in a day). However, I would love to receice answer faster like contacting via phone but LITB has not developed the service yet. Hopefully, you will have it in the near future.

I love the discount and reward system. I am happy that I received great reward everytime I ordered.

So far, I have had 8 orders at LITB within 2 months. And all of the purchases made me so happy except one thing. It is the delivery time. It was estimated about 8-10 days. However, I never received my order before the 20th day after I ordered. :( It takes too long til I get my things!

Beautyful Clothes and shoes
August 1, 2021

We have ordered 2 dresses and 3 pair of shoes. The ordered items arrived about 2 weeks after ordering.
The shoes are so beautyful and excellent material. Our little girl loves them and don't want to take them off anymore. The 2 dresses are also very beautyful, good material, nice colours and good workmanship. We buy again

Revised review
July 31, 2021

In September of 2020, I ordered 2 couch covers, both brown. I received a BLUE one and a brown cover. I started the return process on 11/29/20. If you want to return something, you have to pay for shipping it back, with no guarantee that the Chinese postal system won't open your box and make the shipping label unreadable. They stated that once the item arrived in their warehouse they would process the exchange. I had recorded 2 months of tracking my packaged return from San Francisco, to Japan, to Bejing, back to China, and there it sat. I got the package returned to me in April of 2021. The shipping label had been ripped, the box had been opened, and my carefully packed box that I placed in another box was shredded. Now, granted, this part isn't Light In The Box fault, however, it is a part of the whole "customer experience". I should have received a refund for the part of the order that was wrong to begin with. They told me "Instead of a return, may we suggest you keep the item, to give it to a friend/family member or resell it at your local second-hand marketplace? We can provide the following solutions which are more beneficial and convenient for you than the return and it avoids you the return hassle". I wanted a brown cover, LIKE I ORDERED in the first place. I didn't want a store credit, because frankly, i am never shopping there again, and i don't suggest anyone else do the same. I paid $43.00 in shipping, this was never refunded either, because they never got the package. I feel their return policies are garbage. I followed their rules, even "returned" the item within 7 days. It's been 7 months, and I'm still mad enough to write this.

ETA: Light In the box responded very quickly to this complaint. I believe we have reached a mutual arrangement where I can state I am satisfied. Thank you, Rebecca for reaching out.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I sincerely apologize for what happened and all the inconveniences caused. I would like to help.

We are really sorry to hear your return package was finally returned back to you. We are afraid that your package did not pass the inspection at China Customs.

But I would like to help. I had conducted new Ticket ID =24139098 in our ticket center and provide a solution for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.
