I shop a lot in china stores. But light in the box is just horrible
The clothing i order are the wrong colors.
One time i order a clock and it looks nothing like in the description and the pictures on the website. Plasic not metal and way smaller
I made a comment about it on the website. 1 out 5 stars and it got removed (censorship)
It already says how sad.
Dont get fooled save yourself some problems and money.

Was not advised of custom charges, however I complained and light in the box paid half, when the dress arrived a hook was missing and there was some trailing threads, I was offered a ful refund to return, repair with a voucher to use on the site or to repair the dress myself and have a partial (substantial) refund. The dress is beautiful and fits perfectly, I paid a few pounds extra to have it made to measure and it was well worth it. I have to admit the customer service has been excellent, quick responses and quick resolutions, could not have been more helpful. The dress is fantastic, well made, gorgeous and good quality, I love it! I would definitely buy from them again!

O comunicare buna cu departamentul care se ocupa de dialogul cu clientii, micile ''atentii''[discounturi, mici darurti, reduceri de taxe, etc]sunt foarte incurajatoare.Imi place sa cumpar produse de la aceasta companie.

Here is one of great items I ordered from LightInTheBox:

New Pro 120 Full Colors Neutral Eye Shadow Eyeshadow Palette Makeup Cosmetics Set 5876

This item is absolutely gorgeous! A palette like this will make every woman to feel happy. A perfect blend of mattes and shimmers, so many wonderful colors to choose from.
It was well packaged and nothing was broken when the palette arrived. I am very satisfied!

I love my ring from Light In The Box. I purchased it for only 34 cents! It was a little small but I wear it comfortably as a pinky ring. I also love the retro look about it.
