Never Again
May 14, 2024

I've been trying to return/exchange a swimsuit for over a week. They keep sending me the same email over and over. The swim suit torso is way small - obviously made for someone 5' tall. They refuse to send me a return label. Never again will I fall for cheap prices and doctored photos.

Flexible supplier.
May 11, 2024

It's easy to place an order on this site, but, more importantly, safe and rewarding; I had a case where, for whatever reasons, the delivery was delayed. LightinTheBox was quick to make amends granting not only a refund but also a discount for future purchases. Love it.

Always a surprise...
May 11, 2024

So many of the items I've purchased fit and look quite different than the picture of said item. Tops are usually cut quite wide...not shapely like the advertised version. Pants are either too big or too small and I have ended up giving away SO many items...tops and bottoms. And yes, I check each and every items size guide. Sleeves are wider than pictured, v necks are not as low cut...I have a LOT of items that need adjusting with my sewing machine. Yes the prices are great but you never really know if the item is going to fit YOU properly or at all. Even when you're supposed to allow 1-2 cm mistakes. I've decided not to bother ordering anymore clothes.

Return policy bad
May 10, 2024

I did not clearly read return policy found other amazing sites all of which give you at least 14 days for a full return. Light in the box only gives yo 30% of what you paid. My mistake for not reading 😞 just know buyers there are some wonderful sites out there that will and they have faster shipping beautiful clothes and returns.

Crooked website
May 9, 2024

I had two dresses that I purchased that turned out to be too small. I wanted to return them and purchase one again in a larger size. That was not possible because customer service said I could not return them just because they were too small. And that was their policy

Great Site, Low Prices
May 7, 2024

I've ordered 25-30 items from LightIntheBox in the past 2 years alone. Even though they've been mostly polo shirts, everything has come as shown and described. The quality is as good if not better than any online shopping company with the exception of the "luxury companies" like Tommy Bahamas but at 1/10th the prices. I love their "flash sales" even though you can't use the membership shipping option with them but the prices are so low that it still is a great deal ($10-15/shirt incl. Shipping). The only thing that I've told them I'd like to see added is a view of the backside of the shirts, especially the different prints and patterns, not so much the solids. Shipping time is normal for where I live (HI) and they provide tracking information with each package.
