New customer return
March 26, 2024

Purchased tops that measured smaller than advertised by two inches. Requested a refund.
Received the refund without any problems. I was impressed although it was the manufactures error on sizing. Hopefully any other issues are handled in the same manner.
It would be helpful if the sizing was more accurate it would eliminate a lot of returns and frustration from customers. The items purchased never look like the model or pictures. Actual pictures would be very helpful before making a purchase.

Beautiful dress
March 26, 2024
Updated review

Very nice thick material but fresh. Ideal for summer. I bought the blue one and the color is beautiful just as it appears on the web site. I bought size L which was supposed to be an US 8, but it is big for me, I could have sized down. It goes down to the ankle I am 1.72m, so not a midi dress.

Very nice and fresh material, ideal for summer.
It is only for small people, as for me the breast line sits above the breast I am 1.72 tall.

Colorful sliding door curtains
March 26, 2024

Use the wall hangings to cover a sliding glass patio door, like the way light passes through the wall hanging and brightens up the room

Over the last two years, I have attempted to order unique shirts from online companies that never arrived, so I was skeptical. Light In The Box is not that kind of site, Not only has every order been quickly expedited but every item is as it is described and illustrated.
I was hesitant on some items that were listed as "polyester" and thought, not for me. Until I ordered one. Their polyester is not the meltable fabric we remember. It is soft, subtle and looks extremely high end.
Do your self a favor and sign up for their mailing list. The flash sales are incredible.

Good Experience
March 26, 2024

I had several shipment delays to be honest. But, the customer service was very responsive. You wont feel hanging. They always make sure they respond to your queries. They surprisingly initiated to offer several compensatory adjustments in forms of huge discounts and vouchers for any inconvenience and delays from their part.

Only one item in an order with several shirts and pants i'm keeping, trying to return it and they don't want to refund me. The prices are high, i found the exact same on TEMU and AMAZOM for much lower. Delivery charges are also too excessive.

Will no longer deal with them as nothing was as described.

No Returns
March 25, 2024

The return policy for Light in the Box is shady at best. I ordered a dress - it was too long. I wanted to return it, but would receive 30% of the price back plus I would have to pay shipping back to China which means I would essentially receive $0 back. It was a lovely dress, but their return policies are so deceptively worded that a standard size and color became a "custom" dress although that was not indicated on the website. If you are certain of the size and color, you're probably ok. If not, stay clear. You will lose your money.
