Arrivati nel tempo stabilito ed il prodotto era conforme a quanto scritto
It took a while for certain things to get shipped but overall it went by very quickly. I got a notice that it would be delivered that day and it did which is great. Everything is as said and the quality is good. One of my sweaters the picture is starting to fade tho which is sad.
I didn't like the product received so much and after several attempts with the supervisor, I was fairly reimbursed. This was honest
Bij elke bestelling betaal je iets om extra kosten te dekken

This Chinese site should be prohibited to do business in the USA. It is a TRAP. Send products way, way bigger than the specs. Small is the size of xxx Large. Quality is below poor and when you try to return here is what they tell you
"Based on our experience, the costs for return may be approximately the same or half the price of your parcel. This means that sending the item back to China may not be a viable option for you."
They suggest to give the products to family.
"Instead of a return, may we suggest that you keep the item, to give it to a friend/family member or resell it at your local second-hand marketplace?"
I hope people read this and stay away from this Chinese scam. As they like to copy everything from us, they should learn how amazon operates. Stay away from this site.

My order still hasn't arrived! They were happy to take my money but not happy to deliver my items or give me my money back!
Stay away from lightinthebox.
I have asked for my money back lots of times. It doesn't look like I'm going to get it back and yet still no items.
Hey Shaun,
Thank you for leaving a comment.
Apologies for having faced such an unhappy shopping experience. As mentioned by my colleague, your package was already sent out. Delivery will be likely scheduled today or tomorrow. You might have missed the fact that the shorts are not in stock in our warehouse. Under the 'add in cart' button you will find these require a processing time between 2-5 business before we can despatch the order.

I am very satisfied with the products I received. They were really cheap, the quality was great, and the shipping was quick.
The fabric is nice. Be careful with the size. Muly doughter is 6 and based on her measurements I bought one for 9-10 years old and it fits perfectly. I was also happy to the fact that it came with the courier and not via post office. I recommend this seller.
Absolutely loved the product. As described in the description
There is a variety of products, at an affordable price for the small and medium class, with a long delay of delivery time (there is an order that is pending for seven months).
I feel deliver was late, but quality is better.
As of quality, I bought 2 items, First is good, second was little bit different from my image.
The cloth material was so thin.
Estoy muy contenta con mi compra, la unica pega son los gastos de transporte me parce
Customer support, price, delivery and quality were excellent
Ho acquistato abito elegante da bambina, fatto bene e molto rifinito. TUTTO OK.
Changed my perception of LightinBox. The customer service helped and solved all the problems! Good job! Thanks!

Al encontrar este sitio en Internet y comprar en línea quede muy satisfecho porque aquí encontré justo lo que estaba buscando bikini para hombre en nailo. Quedé fascinado con el acabado y diseño en cuanto a la calidad no lo dudo y sus colores muy bonitos.
Bisher war ich mit der Lieferung und mit der Ware sehr zufrieden. Ich habe vor noch mehr bei Ihnen zu bestellen und ich wünsche mir das die Qualität der Ware und der Lieferservice so super bleibt. Liebe Grüsse Gabi
Answer: Hello, I bought a few things and the quality was not very good and the sizing was totally wrong. I also bought a cellular charger and the battery inside was not soldered correctly. Lightinthebox has great price, but you pay for what you get, which isn't much. I have stopped buying from them.
Answer: Same problem... All thru email
Answer: We didn't buy a dress but the sizes are very small and the returns policy is a joke. I ended up losing money.
Answer: Dear Customer, we do recommend to you to refer to the size chart on each of the clothes first and then pick a suitable size for you.
Answer: Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We're really sorry that our company made you feel nervous. Please kindly note that the total delivery time = processing time + shipping time. So for the arrival date of your package. It depends on the processing time of the product and the shipping method you choose. About the processing time, please kindly check the processing time on the product page. About the shipping time, you mentioned you paid extra fee for faster delivery. If the service you chose was expedited shipping, normally it takes 3-4 business days for shipping. If it's standard service, then 5-8 business days for shipping. If the order is delayed, we'll take full responsibility of that and you can contact us through tickets. You can refer to this guide to contact customer service: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html
Answer: Will you send us your order number so that we can check?
Answer: Dont buy anything from this site. The picture is good, the object quality is garbage. You will be cheated and loose you money.
Answer: You NEVER get your money back... dont use them. I am amazed this company is allowed to trade, I am sure we have law's against this kind of practise.
Answer: Suggest not to buy. Might end up not receiving the order or received the wrong size and would be returning and paying shipping or requesting a refund or not receiving a refund at all. There's more legit company like Amazon where I bought the same one I ordered from Lightinabox, which I did not received. Sorry, but I would not trust this Co for anything. It' up to you to take the risk.
Answer: Count yourself lucky and DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! You will be disappointed in the clothing and size from this company. All of the clothing I received was horrible quality and did not look at all like the photo they had online. They were just plain awful and the sizing was a joke. I received an XL shirt that would not fit a small person and a Med shirt (was supposed to be the same shirt as the XL) and the medium was literally larger than a 4x One was a terrible quality plain sweatshirt with a sticker posted on it and the other was a draping long gown like garment. I was appalled.would recommend finding a different company.
