Not the good produce
September 15, 2017

I get the wrong thinks, not that I ordered and no re shipping because I lost the wrap and the numbers of the item on it

Édit: They resend the good produce for free and no needed to give back the wrong item received so its ok for me

Good Quality, Nice Designs!
September 16, 2017

I purchased a dress, shawl, and wrap (shrug/bolero). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! The designs are simple and elegant, and the materials are nice. The pearl pink color is beautiful. The dress is one of the most beautiful dresses I've come across. For a 5'1", 122 lb, US 32B woman such as myself, the waist is a bit loose on the Girls' Size 16 dress, which is great if you're looking for a modest fit. They're exactly like in the photos!

Amazing experience
September 16, 2017

I have ordered 3 health bands from Light in the box and i must say that the entire experience has been good, apart from the fact that the deals were tempting and rightly priced on the site. I would highly recommend lightinthebox for good deals and good service for me based in the UK.

Quality and service
September 16, 2017

Out of all the sites that I have had dealings with, LightIn The Box has been the most professional with top quality products and handling and delivery of all purchases. I have never had to follow up on any of my purchases as they have arrived before the due date. They come highly recommended by myself.

Refund
September 11, 2017
Updated review

Finally got a refund after trying since beginning of August to work this out, now they want me to edit the review, somy experience with this company is not good, I do appreciate the refund finally but it should not be this complicated to fix an issue with an item that is damaged

Do not order from them
August 29, 2017
Previous review

It started with getting charged additional duty fees even when they were previously paid. I ordered 3 items 2 of them were great and working the 3 was broken. I contacted customer service and they responded 3 days later asking me to send pictures of whats not working. After sending pictures they asked me to send the object back with a number for the return that they will provide. They never sent me the number after asking 2 more times for the number i contacted paypal. Paypal told me to send it back with a tracking but to send the item back with tracking is over the price of my order so i sent my return with signature. Now i will not get a refund for an item that does not work and had to pay extra fees for a broken item because there is no way to track the item. I have copy of my receipt for the return but that is not enough. I would not order from this company
