Lightinthebox website is the best shop, you can found anything that you need and the price every time is lower. The client service is faster to help in all things you imagine, promotions, prices, specification. Often my thing arrive on time, the problem is the bad Brazilian delivery service

Lying Scam Company!
August 2, 2018
Updated review

This is an updated review being written in response to a question asked by the light in the box representative.

The order number is Order number **************

Bought some clothes in a size large. What I got was size small. To exchange the clothes they told me to return them and they would ship new ones and pay the shipping fee's. So I did. And the shipping fee's ended up being very expensive because they are in china and I am on the other side of the world. So they ended up not paying them. And the new clothes do not even fit that well either!

They even go as far as to post lies below this review, saying things that are not true... and not only are they lying, they are lying about conversations that were done through email, where its all recorded in writing, and they know I can see that they are lying! These people are insane scammers! Avoid them at all costs!

Dear Brian K.,
This is supervisor from LightInTheBox.

I feel sorry for the situation.

I am afraid there must be some misunderstanding.

When we issued the return, we explained we could offer a refund of the postage as long as the shipping method chose was economy.

You return your parcel with DHL, which offers priority service only. They charged you 3 times the paid amount of your order.

As such, we explained we could cover only the economy tariff. For your country, we shoes that this amount is 250MXN

We'll consequently fully refund the agreed amount. Should you need any further help, please follow up on your ticket.

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=18591522
Thank you very much.

What a mistake...$100
August 2, 2018

Quality of material horrible
The workmanship of cut and fit, horrible
No continuity on reorder to previous product material
Sizes are seldom close to being accurate using their size guide
Never pay for expedited shipping, takes 10-20 days internally to gather product, then ship
Cuts Svc gives boiler plater answers, pkgs get lost and put it on the consumer to resolve, expedited shipping/insurance or NOT

I ordered at LightInTheBox because it offered the best price for my wanted product. But because the shippment did not arrive quickly, I was doubtful, if it is a reliable seller. If you think the same, then don't worry: shippment does just take some time, because it gets delivered form the other side of the world. And for just 20 cents of shipment costs, I am happy to wait a bit longer.

A Lightin Thebox foi descoberta por mim por um feliz acaso... procurava roupa e acessórios para usar no casamento do meu filho e descobri nesta loja tudo aquilo que procurava. Se as imagens eram apelativas a realidade foi muito melhor: artigos originais, de muito boa qualidade e acabamentos perfeitos. Fiquei muito satisfeita com a excelência e qualidade dos produtos, e com o elevado profissionalismo que os serviços de apoio demonstraram quando a eles recorri para esclarecimentos e até para ultrapassar problemas que a eles eram alheios! Continuarei certamente a ser cliente desta loja e recomendo-a veementemente a amigos e conhecidos!
