Ordering was easy. Prices were great! I ask them a question and they responded immediately. I ordered 3X Hawaiian shirts, then reordered in 5X, as the 3X did not fit. I am 6'3", and my weight varies from 230-315lbs, so I am keeping both orders. The colors are fantastic and the quality seems really good, so I'm very happy with that. It takes about 3 weeks for delivery.
I have had some issues with sizing but have also bought many, many items such as winter pikle-lined sweatshirts and casual shoes that were high quality and very well priced. Fasy shgipping with full tracking is amazing,
Almost everything is right size, as in the pictures, bright colors, easy to maintain and secured delivery
My experience with the service by Lightinthebox was one of the best! I had wanted to return an item and usually returns are down by getting your money back but i wanted to ask for a different thing, an exchange. I was so lucky to have such amazing people to help me out. They comprimised with me! Were quick with replies, listened to my requests, and left me outstandingly satisfied. I was able to receive an exchange and got exactly what i wanted. I am eternally grateful.
Very good service! Everything very transparent and reliable! Delivery also as promised. Returns very quickly and without any problems! Great products at very attractive prices! I am very positively surprised and now order again and again!
The colors were explosive and very vibrant.
Size was true.
The "Mushroom" solar lights were the best thing to place by the playhouse! It looks great! It was so easy to place the order and didn't take too long to receive it.
I ordered two shirts for my husband. The one we received was a perfect fit and he really liked it; however, we were disappointed that the second shirt order was cancelled due to a supply issue.
The fabric and fit of the items I ordered did not live up to the description or my expectation. Returning the items is not possible, as far as I can tell. There are no return labels enclosed in the package. I will never buy from you again.
I ordered 3 pieces of clothing. None of them fit-way too big. I tried to return them but they wanted me to ship them back to China. It was going to cost me $45.00 to send them back. I spent over $90 on the merchandise and they would return only $40. So I am out the money and stuck with cloths way to big! I will never order from them again

My tee shirt is great.
Great Quaity.
Fast delivery.
Exactly what I wanted.
Thank You.
This company claims to be custom fit so there are no returns accepted. There was no request for custom size information when purchasing. This is a clear case of bait and switch. I would look elsewhere for your business.

Worst return experience ever. Can't return item and most likely never my refund!

Best site I've ever dealt with! They responded quickly and did not hesitate when I had a problem with one of about 6 or 7 items I ordered. I will definitely order from them again. I always thought reviews were fake until I did this one because I'm a real customer!
I ordered some sandals last week and the next day I decided to cancel my order. I read that if I canceled my order within 24 hours I would get a full refund. I did just that but have not received a refund or a response. I have emailed them and submitted a request for my refund but have not heard back from them. Please do not order anything from this company. And please do your homework and read the reviews and return policy before ordering anything from anyone.

I ordered the shirt for my son-in-law, David. He loves it!
I was very happy with the service I received.
The last items I received from you, the package was opened then re tapped shut. Luckily there was nothing missing or damaged.
My order took 3 weeks before I goy it. I have no complaints about all the items, I received it without damage. I'm happy with it.
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.
