I ordered sine sports clothing according to their size guide. What arrived was the equivalent of an XXLor larger size instead of a medium size. Also the material was cheap and not well constructed. Notcreally suitable for exercise clothing. I tried to return it fir refund but got nowhere. Lost 200$ +. Will never order from them again.
Very unhappy.

Slow in delivery time
March 29, 2024

After 26 days received 3 of 4 items, after 29 days was told the last item is still being processed. The 3 items that was delivered were ok, 1 shirt fit ok, 1 shirt fit was not so good, and the sport cost fit well but sleeves about 2 inches too long, costing $39 to get altered. Slow delivery times unacceptable and quality of merchandise a bit on the low side in my opinion. One and done with these guys.

Summer shirts
March 28, 2024

I ordered 3 shirts for summer and I'm really happy with the products. All lightweight materials and true to size. I asked for the shipment 2 days early because one of the shirts is an Easter themed shirt and it was scheduled for delivery a day after Easter. I made the request and received the order a week before Easter! Yay!

Polar Bear duvet
March 27, 2024

Overall I had a good experience. I like the image, the quality, the bright colors. I just think with all the company's out there shipping charges were a bit steep. It has held me back from ordering other things from the site.

Your things run small. I ordered a bigger size than I would do and still small. I have contacted you for a return label. Im not going to keep items that don't fit. I want a refund of my purchases.

Light in the box customer service is exceptional. They update you on every step of your transaction including shipping to receipt of the product. The merchandise, for the price, is pretty good quality. I have already suggested to friends and family that they should check it out.

Unique styles
March 26, 2024

I love that I am the only one at a party wearing these cool styles! Several people have asked me where I got them. Sometimes the sizes are way off and the shipping can take 2 months.

So I when I discovered lightning in the box clothes online I absolutely loved the designs and looks. So I proceeded to order two shirts, casual pants and a pair of joggers pants. When I received the items they were exactly as advertised. The shirts were a perfect fit and the casual pants were as well. The joggers were my favorite. In fact, I ordered two more pair immediately after receiving the first pair. And I was just as happy with them as well.The prices were incredibly affordable and shipping was great. Thank you lightning in the box! I look forward to shopping with you again. Sincerely
