I have been shopping at LightInTheBox.com for several years now, and I have only positive and happy experiences for the entire time. Goods arrive promptly, well packaged and exactly as expected. I purchase for friends and family, and they are always satisfied and pleased with the extremely low prices for such excellent quality.
Will always return for more.

No Light in the Box
August 20, 2018

When you order, the say (7 - 13 business days). After 20 days, I call. They say wait 30 days, then call again. I wait 30 days and call again, they now say wait 60 days. WHAT HAPPENED to 7-13 days. What happens in 60 days, they will tell me to wait 90 days. This is another scam, they take your money and poof... gone.

Scammers and Thieves
August 14, 2018

DO NOT BUY HERE.

They sent me a horrible product. When I complaint about the quality, they told me that they didn't accept refunds.

After lots of complaints, they told me to send it back and they would refund me the money and the money of the delivery back.

After more than one month waiting, I haven't received the money back.

They are THIEVES.

The quality of their products is real $#*!.

The customer service is even worse.

Do not buy there, they are just THIEVES

Poor quality items, have purchased off them before. However this time I returned some items that weren't as described and did not fit. Never received my refund or got credited. Extremely disappointed with the customer service! Will never be shopping from the site again and I advise everyone to stay away!

Crappy dishonest company BEWARE

Previous review

I ordered a hand pained picture - my 2 yr old could have done better. Requested a refund and paid another $30 to send back the picture with promise of full refund. They keep stating the product has not been received. Obviously no refund has been processed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE RIP OFF MERCHANTS
