J'ai toujours été satisfait des produits que j'ai commandés, petit bémol pourriez vous améliorer le délai se livraison, ce serai parfait.
Ich habe mich in diese Uhr verliebt. Ganz besonders in das rote Armband. Sieht richtig gut aus. Dazu kommt noch der sagenhafte Preis. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt.
The items received did not match the photos (were too short -- unless the models are under 4 feet tall), and the fabric was cheap polyester and not the promised cotton. I asked for a return which is supposed to be responded to in 1 to 2 business days. Over 2 weeks later they said I could return the shirts to China at my expense and that they would give me 50% of the price in store credit? Store credit is no good to me because I doubt anything from their store is any good. I want my money refunded, not store credit. UPDATE: I complained again and now they are offering to refund 60% of the purchase price back to the credit card, and I don't have to return the shirts to China.
Would give this company a zero if possible. Dress styles & descriptions are stylish and on trend so I took a chance, thinking this company was a more stylish alternative to JJ'sHouse and Azazie. Ordered a standard size dress on July 26th for an out of town wedding on August 22. After payment processed, find out the dress must be customized, even though selected a std size. Email responses from LITB arrive only once within 24 hours so the order is delayed over 4+ days. No actual customer svc or phone support to correct their measurements. Gave up due to the slow back & forth wait for email reply. Requested to cancel & refund as their delays means dress now unlikely to arrive in time for event. Told nope, no can do. Requested an expedited shipping option, willing to pay for it except no such option exists, only US Post Office regular shipping. So, dress that doesn't fit arrives on August 21st, too late to be pressed or tailored for event. Useless. Week long customer service email with an unhelpful company agent to no avail. Won't refund dress & won't send shipping label to return unopened jewelry. Lesson learned... saw the same dress available through Amazon with legitimate return policy. Protect yourself from this scam company.

A tous moment, je pouvais suivre l'évolution à tous niveaux. Tracking parfait. Livraison sans reproche, comme prévu pour la date de livraison
The t-shirts are exactly as described and really fine quality, the print is fine as well. For me, ordering from Germany delivery time was longer than I am used from other textile providers - but overall I would buy again!
Very satisfied with timely dispatch of products, detailed tracking system and on time delivery of orders. Keep it up Lightinthebox
BEWARE! This site is ONLY a SCAM. Products are VERY VERY late, and there is NO customer service if you have a problem.

The dress is as shown in the picture. The fabric seems to be good and the size quite in accordance with the size guide and thus a perfect fit. I am satisfied with the quality and the price of the dress and have already placed an order for another one!
Materiale arrivato ragionevolmente nei tempi previsti. Informazione giornaliera delle fasi di spedizione. La qualità del prodotto ha superato le aspettative. ECCELLENTE il rapporto qualità prezzo!
I've been delighted with all the night dresses that I've got.
The cost of the dresses x benefits were excellent
Ich habe 2 Leinenhosen bestellt und die Lieferung auch zeitnah erhalten. Alle stimmte, die Farben, die Maße, die Länge nur waren z. B. die Nähte der Taschen innen nicht komplett und wurden vor Ort nachgenäht. Es war nicht sichtbar daher kein Problem für mich aber ich pflege ehrliche Antworten zu geben.
Products are good quality, buying through the app was easy, lots of choices. I would definitely buy again.
When i buy lamps or machines, most times there is no user guide. That makes it difficult to use them.
It feels good and the print is fantastic
Low price! And it is wearable andi the site is very clearing in information
Photos prises très attirantes mais à la réception de la commande, la qualité des tissus est décevante.
A l'essai déçue du rendu.

Super easy to find all i needed and quick shiped.
Product was even extendable with more of its kind but no extracharge for de needed parts you could grow it without know it.
Bin Überrasche wie gut diese Artikel sind! Und was den Preis Angeht nur gut im Angebot.
Werde weiter auf Angebote achten und mit Sicherheit wieder Einkaufen.
Šaty jsou moc krásně ale nesedí mi Chtěla jsem vrátit ale nelze.porad nabízejí jen slevu na další nákup ale na co mi budou šaty které mi nejsou přes prsa. Takze když koupit tak bez možnosti vrácení nebo výměny Ja asi nakupovala naposled
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.
