Clothes that don't fit
April 10, 2024

I made six orders from Light in the Box. Everything that I ordered for myself, in American Size 2xL came with a size that is apparently about a Medium. I think that the problem is that the clothes are made in China, and in China, at least as of 2007, a 4xL isn't big enough to fit an American 2x. I went to your site and spent over an hour and a half trying to get your return policy. Eventually, my wife and I managed to enter the information for 5 orders for return. However, we were directed to send this information, and await instructions on how and where to send the ordered clothing for return and either replacement with corect sized clothing, or refunds. We sent the information off, and have not, as yet, received anything for the next step. There are about 7-8 things I need to send back and would appreciate some timely further information before I die, start to rot away and shrink to the size the orders actually were.

Wrong size
April 10, 2024

After trying on the dress it did not fit and the company would not except the return. I purchased the same dress one size up. The dress was not a custom order.

False
April 10, 2024

Was very disappointed with the suits I received. I ordered 3 and none of these really worked. One the top was really small but bottoms were ok. The sizing was not true to fit. Will not be ordering again.

Cute sweatshirt
April 9, 2024
Updated review

The sale price couldn't be passed up when I saw it online. It's a cute kitty in a snowsuit with a mug in it's paw. I ordered the pink one since it would match with just about any color. It was easy to order and arrived in good time.

Nice Products
April 9, 2024

I have always liked the products that I have received from this site, even though it seems the shipping and processing fees are a bit excessive. In fact, they are almost as costly as the product itself.

Great pricing and communication
April 9, 2024

I ordered several clothing items from Light in the Box and am very pleased overall, especially with items other than 100% polyester. Some of these cotton or linen items have great styling and are offered at low prices. Communication is outstanding throughout the various stages of the shipping process.

Some items came defective
April 9, 2024

While LITB refunded those 3 items I had no time to replace them for a wedding event. I ordered them the end of Jan. It took til the end of Mar to deliver & there was no time left b4 we had to leave for the event. I feel I can't always count on the manufs for good quality control. I would have liked the option to replace 1 of those items but wasn't given that choice. Meghan from LITB did reach out after this review & offered the shipping to be refunded of just under $26. I will give them another try, when I'm looking for a special dressy item.

Great boots!
April 9, 2024

Although hard to get the size right as I have large calf's so usually need a size bigger for the side zippers. Love the mixture of colours on the boots and get lots of compliments on them. Love strolling through your online site as you can't get these colourful boots in the stores and the prices are reasonable,

Overall pleased
April 9, 2024

I bought my wedding dress and it was actually better than in picture. Fixes were quite simple and fast to do. I then bought several other clothing and other items for the house, Shipping was always on time and they refund the duty fees thanks to a very cheap insurance they offer. Sizing sometime a bit off, but expected. When very off- more than 1 inch/ cannot fit situation- they offered refund. Sometime colors or prints are a bit off/low res. Check for items with review photos for safety;-)
