Not Light's fault
March 13, 2024
Updated review

My housing complex has an outdoor mailbox complex that had a history of mail and packages being stolen. That has been fixed, and my package was found and given to me.

LightIn The Box came through!
January 9, 2024
Previous review

The package was delivered to the wrong box at my son's condominium complex (not the first time this happened--a delivery person issue, not Light's problem). Light followed up with my inquiry and took my detailed concern. Fortunately, the party to whom the package was delivered brought it by my son's place, so all is well. I'm always pleased with the designs, colors, quality.

First time buyer

Shipping is terrible but it's coming from across the world so can't expect miracles. One shirt was definitely not like the picture and the other stuff was OK. Not sure I will buy again but won't say never.

Updated review

A concordância entre avaliar algo, esta sempre atrelado a experiência de uma boa compra, seja pelo site ou presencial se existir loja, mas a experiência é fundamental para todos sem exceção. Para tanto uma justificativa de boa ou má compra, depende muito da forma pela qual o comprador escolha para ter sucesso na realização da mesma.

Boa compra

Muito bom comprar nesta empresa, pois deixando a alfândega que atrapalha muito o processo de transporte, ainda continua sendo muito bom comprar por este meio, hoje o quanto mais rápido esta o processo de compra e entrega das encomendas, esse meio ainda continua sendo viável a compra de qualquer produto nesta empresa.

My wife bought an off-the-shelf dress Made in India and sold by lighting the Box. It did not match the picture and the size was incredibly off. You cannot contact them. You cannot return anything because they say that all dresses are TaylorMade. This is not a true statement. She has purchased other things in the past and been fairly satisfied with the last two dresses she was unable to speak with anyone or return them. Because they claim that every dress and piece of clothing is TaylorMade they do not offer a refund. What a rip off. Stay away from this company.

Very dissapointed!
March 7, 2024

HI,

This was the 1st time I ordered clothes from LightInThe box and am very disappointed with the quality and service. The products were of very bad quality and not my size and I initiated the return request immediately. My order number is **************. It's been a week now and I haven't heard back.

Would appreciate if someone can look into this and REPLY!

Fast delivery
March 6, 2024
Updated review

I received my order in 5 days. This was my second order for the same shoes but one size up. They are a bit wider than the smaller shoe, but the length is perfect. So even thought they are a bit loose fitting, they are comfortable. A half size up would've still hurt my toes. It is definitely not something you want to wear if you plan a lot of walking, at least not me. There is no arch support. But they are very cute and perfect for a little party where you'll be doing a lot of sitting. I love them. They are as pictured.

Cute shoe runs a bit small
February 8, 2024
Previous review

I received these shoes on February 2. They projected the delivery to be between February 1 and February 9, so it arrived quite early. The package was damaged pretty badly, but the shoes were in fine condition. The box was made of very thin cardboard and wasn't really even what you'd call a box, but it was in a plastic bag so no harm. The shoes are really cute, but I have to say that they do run a tad small. So maybe a half a size up might've fit me perfectly. The shipping charges are high, so I'm going to just see if I can stretch the shoes out a little bit. They fit perfectly except for the toe. The shoe is just a little too short. Or I might give away and just order another 1/2 a size up. I want to add that the workmanship is not the best, i.e., the trim around the bottom of the shoes are not evenly applied, but who is going to notice? The strap is one long lace with loose beads. They are really cute and are not uncomfortable at all, but I had to put knots in the lace to keep the beads from falling off the lace. A small inconvenience, but I just wanted to include that. They are more for looks and are not going to do anything to support your feet, your arches, etc. I don't think I'd go for long walks in them. But I like them enough not to return them. I also am relieved that this is a legitimate company. So many scams out there. I will probably order from them again. They picture is exactly what it looks like.
