Customer Service
July 30, 2018

This site takes care of its customers! I once had a problem of order gone missing so I wrote to their customer Service. Their response was prompt and my issue was resolved in GOOD TIME. All the while, our correspondence was polite and I didn't hint any annoyance or boredom on their part It was certainly a very good experience for me. I highly recommend this website to anyone.

I have bought a few goods (mobile phones, electronic gadgets and a few other stuff) at this website, and things have always been fine. Things went stellar when I had to use the tax and duty insurance, the response was prompt and it was quickier and easier than what I expected. I recommend it a lot if you are buying products of a higher value, be sure to add the insurance, it is worth it and their service is exceptional!

Scam Artists
July 26, 2018

Really 5 stars from who? Biggest load of crap ever! I ordered a childs present for a birthday l paid 80 euro for the thing shipping included then it was supposed to be delivered today by DHL and I had to pay a customs fee of 30 euro so I paid it online and do you know where my parcel is now? Its in freaking Morocco! This site is a total scam thats 110 euro I wont get back and have nothing to show for and DHL wont reimburse the customs fees either, I dont recommend this place to anyone unless they like throwing money away. Steer clear.

Recommended for those who can wait the delivery time and appreciate low-cost products with good quality.

If you know what you want and are able to evaluate the wide variety of products, you usually find what you are looking for. Note that ordering clothes might require more effort as you need to check the sizes correctly usually by taking measures.

Ayant acheté plusieurs caméras de surveillance IP à un prix très compétitif, je suis parvenue sans connaissances en informatique à les installer en wifi sur mon ordinateur
Et mon smartphone. Les notices de mise en service étaient simples et tout c est bien passé.
J' ai choisi des caméras VStarcam avec fonction photos et enregistrements.
Mes commandes se sont très bien déroulées, pas de frais de douane et 8 jours ouvrés d' attente maximum. Je suis très satisfaite de LightIn TheBox et j' en profite pour varier mes achats dans les domaines qui m' intéressent
