I bought a mother of the bride dress. It came and it was too short, even though I had given the right measurements. I sent it back with all the paperwork in April 2016. It is now June 2016 and they keep replying that they haven't got it. So I spent £100 on a made to measure dress, plus £29 extra I had to pay on the door to cover import duty to the UK, and I have nothing.

Don't use
June 14, 2016

I ordered a couple of iPhone cases. They took ages to arrive and when they did one of them had scratches all over and had clearly been used. It felt very cheap and plastic too.

I will not be using them again. A really poor service all in all!

I order 6 personalized mirrors to give as favors to my bridal party over a month before my wedding. The items came about 6 weeks prior to my wedding and 4 had cracks from shipping/printing defects. I told them and they said I had to ship them back using the prepaid mailing label. They said they would not send new items until these were received despite me BEGGING since my wedding was a month away. I waited 5 weeks for them to CLOSE my ticket once the items were received. THEY DID NOT SEND REPLACEMENTS LIKE THEY SAID and NOW I AM 4 DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING with NO GIFTS FOR 2 OFF MY PARTY MEMBERS. SUPER DISGUSTED BY THE SERVICE OF THIS COMPANY AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE USING THEM FOR ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY NOTHING IMPORTANT.

I bought a fly fishing reel from Light in the Box. The reel is solid and feels good quality considering the price. I will buy again from them!

Recomendo vivamente
June 13, 2016

Tal como o Miniinthebox, o Lightinthebox é para mim um dos melhores sites de comprar on-line da China.
Os produtos são bons, com bons preços e o serviço de apoio ao cliente e pós-venda são do mais eficiente que já vi.
Recomendo e irei continuar a comprar nestes sites.
Muito profissionais.

Ho ricevuto il vestito ancora prima della data prevista ed è bellissimo! La misura era perfetta e l'abito cade perfettamente. Era solo troppo lungo, ma va benissimo, così ho potuto fare l'orlo per le mie esigenze. Sono molto contenta e tutti i miei amici e parenti mi hanno fatto i complimenti perché il vestito sembra veramente un capo d'alta moda, è comodo ma allo stesso tempo molto elegante. Sono veramente soddisfatta e sono sicura che continuerò a comprare da voi! Al ricevimento del pacco ho dovuto pagare 43,02 per le spese doganali, ma avevo sottoscritto l'assicurazione (solo 1,95!) e quindi ho chiesto e ottenuto immediatamente il rimborso, quindi sono ancora più contenta.

This site has tons to choose from and it's all quite affordable. The sizes are/were a little tricky but theit size guide helps. Shipping was quick but processing my order took a few days. Items I got were just as described and pictured.

Le taglie sono un po' piccole, ho dovuto prendere una L, ma alla fine se si controllano le misure sul sito non si può sbagliare. L'unico difetto è che avendo una sola spallina il costume mi cade dall'altra parte pur avendo preso le coppe del reggiseno giuste, più piccole non volevo osare, ma per il resto è bellissimo! Cercherò in qualche modo di restringerlo, non c'è problema! P.S. La consegna è arrivata dopo quasi un mese, non male come sito cinese.
