I want to give a zero star if I could! I ordered 5 dresses on 11/13, Total: 248.24, I received all item on 11/29, The color, size, style, and material nothing like the picture, I contact the customer service immediately and request return ticket ( I followed the return policy on their website), The response is offered me 30% off, and let me keep the item. I say no, They are junks, and none of them fit. No response after till now.

Dommage que les tailles ne correspondent pas et photo plus belle que l'article reçu.
J'aimerais plus de choix en sur mesure au moins je serais sûre de recevoir ma taille.
J'achèterais plus souvent si c'était sur mesure, j'ai robe de soirée et d'une combinaison où lycra de snorkelling malheureusement pas ma taille.

Ich habe mir einpaar Jeansstiefel gekauft und war erst etwas skeptisch, wegen der Passform. Die Lieferung war schnell und ich total überrascht. Die Stiefel sehen super aus und passen total.

The best value for money.
Is a shop where you can find many products at exceptional prices compared to other stores where you find them at a higher price.

I ordered 3 sweatshirt hoodies from light in the box for my grandkids for christmas. I was disgusted when they arrived. They are far from sweatshirt hoodies. The material is some type of silky material. Not sweatshirt material at all. No hoodie neck strings. No inner lining. The photos and the descriptions clearly state sweatshirt hoodies. Now I am afraid that if I return them I either will not receive them in time for Christmas or they will resend the crap they already sent to me. I wasted over $70 because what I received is not at all what they advertised. Customer service is no where to be found. Online customer support never has anyone online to talk to. I feel terrible. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and this company not only stole Christmas gifts from my grandkids but also ripped me off $70. Don't know what to do

I am forced to give this 1 star, else it won't allow me to write this review. I ordered a jacket on 5th Nov 2019, which never got delivered to me. When I informed Light in the Box customer service, they asked me to lodge a complaint with NZ post. NZ post asked me to lodge a complaint through Light in the box. When I submitted a ticket to Light in the Box, they marked my ticket as resolved without even bothering to get me my parcel. If you have money to burn, you can order at Light in the box and just forget about it. Neither will you get your parcel nor your money. The name should be changed to darkness everywhere as the customer is not given any update as to where their parcel is. It's the worst ever experience I have received while buying online. Neither do they have an email ID or phone number where one can contact.

Order No. **************

Do not buy from this company! They take your money and you never hear from them again. I bought cycling clothing from them which was far too small, sent it back and have never heard from them again, lost £120 to them.
LITBox send me an email via this site in December to make it look as if they were doing something. Tracking number advises me that the items I sent back were released from Chinese customs in October to them. Have given them the tracking number and have heard nothing since.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THEIR BANK!

I ordered a dress that I really liked. I ordered the size recommend by their chart. The dress came very fast. I was so disappointed when it didn't fit. The top portion was much smaller than the measurements given. The waist was too high for a person of average height. I tried to return it that same day. I thought I had 7 days to return an unworn item. They told me that it was considered custom made and I should try to sell it myself or give it away. The dress was Eighty dollars before shipping. Money completely wasted. I can't wear the dress.

This was my second experience with Lightinthebox and it was a second positive one. Both outfits were for family weddings. I doubted the second time was going to measure up, but LITB rushed my order and it was a perfect fit. I will recommend to everyone I know.

I ordered jewelry sets for the girls in my daughter sweet 15. They were perfect. I got a little nervous because the shipping carrier did not update status of my order. But i did arrive on time and was exactly what i wanted
