Stay away from this Website
September 13, 2019

I was simply disgusted by the cheap quality of the items I ordered. I ordered handbags and they were very poor, badly stitched, one with tears on it and all badly creased and dinged after being crammed into the box that it was delivered in. And charge unexpected custom tax on top of it all. I feel so conned and hope that someone reads this and doesn't fall into the same trap

No matter the stuff I have bought so far, I have found it in an easy way. Regarding the price and quality, everything is value for money. So far, I have never needed an after market service. Thnk u Lightinthebox.com

I ordered 3 shoes. Two were advertised to ship within 24 hours. I tried to cancel one of these within 2 hours of ordering it but was told it could not be cancelled because it had already shipped. That was 3 days ago. There still is no tracking number for it. I paid for expedited shipping on all 3 shoes because I need one for a wedding and hoped that one of the 3 would fit and work for me. Now the estimated shipping date has been pushed back on the other 2 shoes so far that neither of them will get here before I leave town for 5 weeks. I am trying to cancel them, but have not been able to.

Shipping SLOW as MOLASSES
September 4, 2019

I ordered my dress 3 months in advance... still haven't seen it. They send many emails with "tracking" information. Hahaha. You can't track anything. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING from these guys.

Big Ripiff
September 2, 2019

The wrong size men's shoes arrived. They said send them back by ordinary mail and it was my fault for ordering the wrong size. I wear size 10 and a half but I ordered size 8 and a half according to them. Yeah right. No refund. They said they didn't get them and I had to provide tracking info. But of course there is no tracking info with ordinary mail. Eventually they admitted they got them and refunded two thirds of the price. But I''m also out $22 for postage so I've lost more than half my money. Never again.

Less than a month ago I bought two clothes, to be honest I was afraid they wouldn't arrive.
However, I bought them from Mexico and they sent them to Venezuela for a loved one and they arrived at the destination, perhaps with a little delay, however the product arrived safely, completely and in good condition.
Simply the people who received the gifts loved them. Thank you very much for helping me send you a great gift

We have bought a dress for a wedding on the 8th of the month, with priority line shipping ("4-7business days"). We still have not recieved it after the wedding at the end of the month. Despite I paid an extra sum of money, for the """"faster""" delivery.
You also can't file a normal complaint. The do the turn to a different division trick. So you cant get to someone whom could actually help you with your problems or claims.

I've bought a number of items from LightInTheBox - jewellery, men's shirts, women's clothing, & handbags. All of which have been good quality. They are a little slow for delivery, but not too bad. I can recommend this company to anyone.

They should not be allowed to advertise in the US. The cut of their clothes is not for the American woman. I even ordered three sizes up and it still didn't fit. Very small arms. Cut for the Oriental woman. They will not refund your money! Want to give you 20% instead. Totally corrupt
