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.
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!

After a small missunderstanding, with delivery or pick it up, everything went well, exactly what i wanted
Order was way behind date of expected arrival, and dispute of insurance i was not protected so would not gonna buy anymore...
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.
Maillot cycliste vintage. Finitions impeccables. Prévoir une taille en plus
Prodotto ideale x estate! Simpatico e pratico da indossare
Commande et payement facile a réaliser, un sites tres bien conçus et agréable a utilisé. Des produits de bonne qualité et a un bon prix, je suggère même votre application a mes amis
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.
It takes a long time to arrive at my place of destination.
Item just as described (even better in real life) and delivery service astonishingly fast (with tracking option and updated status). Will recommend to friends and family.
Bon accueil marchandises de qualité
Merci je n'hésiterai pas a recommander
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..
Very good, I wish if the photos are clearer than it's looking
Do not repeat, trust purchase system, all my family and friends we have expectations.

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.
