Terrible customer service
November 23, 2018

I ordered a blazer along with some other items for the same size to check how this company works and if satisfied to continue shopping from them. Unfortunately the size guide in the website was wrong and I asked to replace it and then started all the fuss. They were asking continuously for proof with pictures about the size and I had to send twice the email with pictures to prove what I was saying. I have returned the item 1 month ago ( I had to pay for the cost of the delivery back although the mistake was not mine but was on lightinthebox who had wrong size guide) and still I have not received any refund and they are telling me that they still have not received the package that I had sent it tracked and I know that it has been delivered. Terrible customer service.
If you are lucky enough to find your size then fine otherwise It does not worth the trouble. It has been 2 months now since I made the order, the company still keeps my money that I could use to order sth else.
All these exist in messages

Doporučuji obchod
November 23, 2018

Obchod rychlý. Zboži přišlo za 2 týdny. Kvalita produktu souhlasí s popisem. Jsem velice spokojená. Zboží bylo kupováno v akci za málo peněz ale kvalita byla stejně dobra. Děkuji. Přište objednam opět, až se mi bude něco libit

Disappointed with product
November 22, 2018

I ordered a military themed T shirt, printed front and back with 3D graphics that popped off the page in the ad. Being used to Amazon, I ordered the shirt 12 days before an event I wanted it for; USMC birthday, Nov 10. It was shipped from China on the 10th. I received it on the 21st, opened it and dropped it in a trash can. Graphics were not 3D, they were dull and muted, about 90% less in quality from the advertisement photo. A fraud. I tossed it because I want this company out of my life ASAP

90 day shipping!
November 19, 2018

Been waiting for a product that they said would arrive in 30 days. When I said I didn't get it now they tell me I need to wait 90 days. I should have just gone to the store. I will never buy from them again

Compromisso com o cliente
November 18, 2018

A empresa tem compromisso com o cliente.
Adquiri um fone de ouvido bluetooth junto a LightInTheBox e o produto chegou perfeitamente, atendendo a oferta que me foi feita. Sempre que precisei obtive todo suporte da empresa, as respostas eram quase imediatas e isto é uma grande prova de compromisso com o cliente. A partir de agora indico a empresa aos meus amigo a pelo respeito e atendimento ao consumidor. O meu pedido é o **************.

Gosto muito desse site.
Pois ele tem os itens bem organizados e fáceis de encontrar, sempre respondem as dúvidas em menos de 24h. Ótimo prazo de entrega e bons descontos nas compras em grupo.
É o único site de compras que conheço que da opção de se taxado pela alfândega podemos ser "ressarcidos" de alguma forma.
Recomendo a todos. Meus amigos já começaram a fazer compras também.

Dear Sarah Malajian,

Thank you for shopping with us.

Please note because the shipping method you chose for this order was Postal Expedited. It usually takes 5-8 business days (7-12 calendar days) for the package to arrive. And we state it in the shipping method choosing part at the Check-Out page when you placed this order. So it's normal that you still haven't received the package because it's still in transit. We guess you might haven't noticed this so you're inquiring about your order.

Your order was shipped out via airmail on 2018-11-02 with the tracking number LY927066795CN. You may track it in the following link:

https://t.17track.net/en#nums=LY927066795CN&fc=03013

Note: The online tracking information will be updated later than the actual shipping situation, we appreciate that you can be patient while waiting for the updates.

So you shall receive the order before [2018-11-14], which is the 12th day of shipping. Please be kindly waiting for a few more days.

We really appreciate your support and understanding.
