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
Ótima loja recomendo a todos, ainda mais agora com o seguro de taxa da alfandega, que é essencial para quem compra celulares!
I did a order for a 64GB USB pen, it was delivered very fast, and works great. Nice and fast. Happy with the full service
Distribuidora que apresenta uma gama de produtos que venha a atender às necessidades dos clientes que procuram por produtos de qualidade, eu recomendo

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.

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
The gown and shoes were quite as described although i was surprised that i had to pay customs. The items arrived on time, i will probably order again
I discovered this site some time ago. Never have been disappointed so far.
I really like the discounts they offer and insurance for customs duties. I recommend it for everyone who wants to save money and buy great stuff online!
Molto semplice da ordinare, spedizione immediata, sicuramente ancora farò dei acquisti su sito LightInTheBox
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.
Tem bons preços, ótimo atendimento tanto no pré quanto no pós venda. Disponibiliza algumas opções de venda que a colocam a frente das demais lojas da categoria, oferecendo uma boa experiencia aos seus clientes sempre.
Impossible to get in touch with customer service.
I sent all kind of messages, on all channels. I only received automated replays.
I lost my money and what is worst this is ALSO second time! Light in the box is not TRUSTABLE, there is NOSERVICE. Just a DEADEND. Worst CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER Enough! Dont waste your money BUY IN EUROPE

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!
Recentemente comprei algumas roupas da loja e estou muito satisfeita! Os produtos sempre são de ótima qualidade!
I have already made several orders in this store, only once was a controversial case, in which I went to a meeting. Good prices, fast delivery.
Very good store.
I ordered a pair of sandals described by the company as leather product. Actually they are plastic material.

A lightinthebox é uma ds melhores lojas em que ja comprei, loja com diversas opções de produtos, ótimas formas de pagamento, e excelentes formas de envios sem contar as diversas promoções.
Answer: Hello, I bought a few things and the quality was not very good and the sizing was totally wrong. I also bought a cellular charger and the battery inside was not soldered correctly. Lightinthebox has great price, but you pay for what you get, which isn't much. I have stopped buying from them.
Answer: Same problem... All thru email
Answer: We didn't buy a dress but the sizes are very small and the returns policy is a joke. I ended up losing money.
Answer: Dear Customer, we do recommend to you to refer to the size chart on each of the clothes first and then pick a suitable size for you.
Answer: Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We're really sorry that our company made you feel nervous. Please kindly note that the total delivery time = processing time + shipping time. So for the arrival date of your package. It depends on the processing time of the product and the shipping method you choose. About the processing time, please kindly check the processing time on the product page. About the shipping time, you mentioned you paid extra fee for faster delivery. If the service you chose was expedited shipping, normally it takes 3-4 business days for shipping. If it's standard service, then 5-8 business days for shipping. If the order is delayed, we'll take full responsibility of that and you can contact us through tickets. You can refer to this guide to contact customer service: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html
Answer: Will you send us your order number so that we can check?
Answer: Dont buy anything from this site. The picture is good, the object quality is garbage. You will be cheated and loose you money.
Answer: You NEVER get your money back... dont use them. I am amazed this company is allowed to trade, I am sure we have law's against this kind of practise.
Answer: Suggest not to buy. Might end up not receiving the order or received the wrong size and would be returning and paying shipping or requesting a refund or not receiving a refund at all. There's more legit company like Amazon where I bought the same one I ordered from Lightinabox, which I did not received. Sorry, but I would not trust this Co for anything. It' up to you to take the risk.
Answer: Count yourself lucky and DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! You will be disappointed in the clothing and size from this company. All of the clothing I received was horrible quality and did not look at all like the photo they had online. They were just plain awful and the sizing was a joke. I received an XL shirt that would not fit a small person and a Med shirt (was supposed to be the same shirt as the XL) and the medium was literally larger than a 4x One was a terrible quality plain sweatshirt with a sticker posted on it and the other was a draping long gown like garment. I was appalled.would recommend finding a different company.
