Better than I thought!
April 23, 2024

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,

Amazing
April 23, 2024

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.

Playhouse decor!

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.

Great Shirt
April 23, 2024

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.

Dresses I ordered.
April 23, 2024

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.

Very Disappointed
April 21, 2024

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

Awful return party - go somewhere else
April 18, 2024

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.

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!

Horrible!
April 17, 2024

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.
