They do not actually offer returns. They made me ship my order back to China, and I had to pay for my own shipping costs, which was $40. Then they wouldn't refund me the entire order price, only a portion of it. In the end it wasn't financially worth going through the refund process at all.
Everiting is good
Alles is altijd prima in orde
Een heel leuk site met leuke kleding enzo
One of the items I received is the completely wrong style and size, and still haven't heard back about getting it replaced
I received my Package last night in good condition. I received automated text update on the DHL status. Very helpful!
Items were as described and then some! Very happy with my purchases
I was pleased with the service and the quality of the items I received.
I ordered a top and a pair of baggy pants. Both fit well, but the top was cheaply made. The pants were cute and as I expected.
Could you please let me know if you have received my return item? I have not gotten an email saying so yet? It's been a week. Otherwise the experience was fine.
I have contacted customer service on what I would like to do with the shirt I'm not happy with. Waiting for a reply at this time.
Service après-vente au top très aimable et réactif. Je suis très contente de mon achat
Great value for product, arrived earlier than expected.
I bought this watch to measure my blood sugar it's fairly close to what my blood stick is so it's good enough where I don't have to do the bloodstick everyday I do it every 3 days The other two days I deal with my watch
The outfit was not advertised correctly. I ordered from size guide, regular US sizes. They did not fit and I could not get a return full price because they said it was a special order ( US 10) and too costly to return. So they told me (that supposedly they would make an exception and refund $ 30 some dollars from some $166.00 paid.
I would not recommend them, because of their unclear return policy. It does not benefit the buyer. And sizing is not accurately stated.

Arrived pretty quickly and all worked great. Acknowledgments were sent for tracking purposes.
Bought a men's medium, fits great. Arrived on time.
My order came quickly and it was exactly as described. Very pleased with all my items. Will definitely order more!
Had no problems and my item got delivered. I have purchased from light in the box before and had no issues then either
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.
