First purchase
July 10, 2021

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

This is a trap, a scam..
July 9, 2021

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.

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

Please be advised firstly all our customers can contact our customer service department via "Tickets". It was found you had submitted two Tickets to us. We replied to both of your tickets within 24 hours. So we are not sure why you said you could not communicate with us.

Anyway, I had conducted new Ticket ID =24000268 in our ticket center and will help you resolve any of your problem. 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.

Stay away!
July 7, 2021

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.

Tracking page:
https://t.17track.net/en#nums=GV755837353GB

Don't worry, we understood that you prefer a refund. We invite you to check your mailbox (ticket #23982065) for more details. Please don't hesitate to reply if you have any questions or doubts.

It will be our pleasure to help you!

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.

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).

July 5, 2021

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.
