I bought Xbox One controllers off the website for $12 each (plus shipping for like $10). My only regret is that I didn't purchase more.

Having been a regular customer of Lightinthebox for several years now, I am happy to provide them with a review of my purchases. During that time I have never had occasion to return an item as faulty. I have found their goods to be of excellent quality and cover a large range of items, all at reasonable prices. I always check through their stock when purchasing and usually end up buying more than I intended. I would recommend this store to anyone wanting quality goods, well made and at a reasonable cost. Their service is top class and any queries are dealt with promptly.

Funcionan bastante bien
October 19, 2018

He realizado varios pedidos a esta página y en general funcionan bien, es mas, si han tardado demasiado, les reclamas y te lo envían de nuevo, los 40 días del envío no te los quita nadie, pero esta bien para pedir gadgets y similares.

I ordered a Large. They didnt specify that if you ordered a large you were getting an Asian large. The jersey tag said As - L; US - S. Basically it was two sizes too small for me.

When I went to return it, the instructions didnt match the website and so I have not yet been able to return it. If I can return it without any more difficulty then Ill consider them a respectable business with a bad website and unclear sizing.: After going to a laptop I was finally able to access a ticket for return/refund on Monday. Somehow I accidentally created two Refund tickets. They closed both of them saying there was another one so they could close this one. They took action on NEITHER of them. - 1 star is too high for their return policy.

Order # **************

Hello Mariee,

This is supervisor from LightInTheBox.

I feel sorry for your experience. Please note the stuff did not close your tickets, they only merge them into one as you had opened multiple tickets for same reason and it would be impractical to be be served by different operators.

After checking, I can see that a UPS label was already provided on the ticket. I am afraid you did not check it out yet. For this reason, please follow up on your ticket and you'll find all instruction to call UPS and arrange your pick-up.

Thank you very much for your kind support.

I would like to help and I have raised this ticket for you, please will you follow up? https://www.lightinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=ticket_after_detail&id=18890690
Thank you very much.

No Refund
October 15, 2018

On June 22,2018 I placed a order with light in the box for some camping equipment in the amount of $153.08 that includes a charge of $35.35 for shipping and insurance. Then they charged my credit card for $4.59 for transaction fee. I knew then this was not going to be good. Then they said the outdoor picnic blanket was out of stock. Finally the stuff came and everything was of poor quality. I asked about my refund for my out of stock item. No respond. Finally someone gets back to me and apologizes and said it was processed. That never happened. Email again, no number to call. Just email. No refund. This is the kidder. The email says the refund has been processed. No... A check mailed to me. They have my address. No... They asked for a paypal account so they can refund me. No... that never happen. Numerous emails requesting a refund. All of these never happen. This company is such a crook. The only reason why I went to site is because it came up in my instagram

Otima loja
October 11, 2018

Otima loja, recomendo a todos principalmente comprando com o seguro alfandegario.
RECOMENDOOOO.
Comprei um moto g5s otimo preço paguei em torno de 530,00 reais sendo que aqui no meu pais Brasil
Sairia por 900,00 reais ou até mais.
Solicitei o seguro alfandegario e a alfandega me cobrou 592,00 mais caro que o aparelho rsrs.
A LightInTheBox me reembolsou o valor e fiz o pagamento na alfandega.

I want my money back!
October 9, 2018

Can someone from Lightinthebox help me get my money back? I returned a faulty phone on Aug 20th, it is now Oct 10th and I still haven't received my money back. The last message I received was "we will contact you as soon as possible", which according to other reviews is the proverbial kiss of death from this site! I have sent them proof of postage as requested. Order number is **************. If I do not receive my refund in a timely manner I will file a fraud and theft order with my credit card company, and also PayPAL services.
