Their items are poor quality. They make it impossible to get your money back. Returns must be sent to China and you pay the shipping. It's a scam. Good luck trying to talk to customer service.

Very disappointing
June 3, 2021

I needed to return some items to them which just the postage costed me £18. They have received the items now weeks ago, every time I email them and ask where is my refund they email me back 1-2 days later with one line saying would get it back in 1-2 business days and I'm still waiting weeks later. I even asked them to let me know how and where I can send a formal complaint but they keep ignoring this, and just this I believe is breaking the rules, customers must be able to complaint!

Gute Qualität und Verarbeitung
June 2, 2021

Habe überwiegend Jungen Kleidung bestellt. Die Hosen sind vom Schnitt schön leger und sehen lässig aus. Auch die Farbpalette is großartig Auch die T-shirts gibt's mit vielen tollen Aufdrücken. Kommt alles sehr stylisch rüber!

Globalement je suis toujours satisfait de LightIn TheBox. Les articles vendus sont toujours au juste prix avec une qualité et une finition très convenable.
Les délais de livraison sont également acceptables compte tenu du volume de commandes que LightIn TheBox doit traiter.
La communication avec le site marchand est bonne et au moindre problème, une réponse est toujours donnée dans l' intérêt du client.
J' encourage les consommateurs à faire confiance à ce site.

I bought from 4 online stores at the same time with the same delivery mode. But LightInTheBox was the only one that did not meet and last to deliver. Still, I am giving a 5-star review because the product was received well and I was happy and satisfied, It was worth the wait.

Podia ainda ter corrido melhor, caso não tivesse demorado tanto tempo a chegar, de resto, ficamos satisfeitos com o produto, bem como com as condições em que chegou, ou seja, sem apresentar qualquer danos.

I had ordered two T-shirts for my nephew and niece on 29th March and I received the order on May 25th. Though it took almost 2 months for the delivery, it was worth the wait. The kids loved it very much. The quality was also good..
