DON'T BUY!
February 9, 2021

These people are rip off artists. They take money with on intention of delivering anything. We got off cheap but there are many who didn't. Any positive reviews are posted by someone paid to do so. Lesson learned and paid for. They said for 2 weeks the package was on its way then, I would have to go pick it up and less than 12 hours later a email says the package was shipped back to the company, and we will only get it if we re-pay for the postage, which is twice the cost of the original order.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am glad to help.

Please be kindly advised that we can only process the refund after we receive the return package. After checking, we have not received the return parcel yet. This was why we could not issue you any refund now.

In order to help you, I had conducted new Ticket ID =22850738 in our ticket center to follow up your case. Could you please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to contact us via this ticket and send us tracking information of your return package? I will then help you investigate the package status with our logistics department. Thank you for your cooperation.

Los productos me llegaron en buenas condiciones, todos funcionales, pero tardó poco más de 2 meses en llegar, si bien el servicio de migración de México tardó un mes, el otro mes fue solo en el traslado desde que realicé el pedido.
Ojalá y mejoren su sistema de entregas

Very Satisfied!
February 7, 2021

I was a bit sceptical to order a swimsuit online, but I have to admit I was surprised to have received such good quality, perfect size, and in only 2 weeks! I ordered M I'm 62kg, 169cm, small chest. Would definitely recommend a bigger size if you're a C! Also, in my country you wouldn't find something like this for such an affordable price! Happy shopping!

Trustable, quick and reliable
February 3, 2021

At first I was afraid of never receive anything, since this was my fist purchase on the site. The fact they accept paypal increase my confidence.

The shipping time was given to be 5 to 9 working days. Since it comes from China, i was expecting much more time, but they fulfilled.
