I started checking on items here, LIGHT IN THE BOX, a while back, I ordered a few to see what kind of quality, etc they had, I am very pleasantly surprised to find high quality items at very low prices, and the items arrive fairly quickly at very low shipping charges, I will continue to purchase from lightinthebox, I think you will really like shopping with them also.

Really impressed with the service and dresses from lightinthebox.com.
I've bought my bridesmaids from them and they have all arrived in good time.
The fabric is beautiful and the quality of the dress and sewing is brilliant.

I bought a MOCREO MOSOUND Bar Waterproof Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker from LightInTheBox recently.
It was bought to be taken on holiday to play in the room and by a private pool. It's been tested up until now around the house including the bathroom. It is light enough for you to take it anywhere and the sound you get for such a small device is good. Don't expect booming bass, but the sound quality is excellent. Crisp, clear and true. It is also great when I paired it to my iPhone. I can take calls on it too! I would recommend for anyone else looking for a small, light, water resistant bluetooth speaker.

The delivery was quick too. The postage was from China but was tracked and it arrived within a few days. Awesome service.

Absolutely awful
July 28, 2014

Absolutely awful. I ordered a quadcopter with camera. I gave up on it after 8 weeks of getting in contact with amazon And cancelled it. Truly PISSED OFF! Do NOT order from this company.

Hi,
We apologize for all the inconvenience.
If you choose free super saver shipping, it may take 10-20 BUSINESS days which means it can take up to 40 days to deliver. Please note that the delivery time includes processing time and shipping time. And the delivery of the packages is influenced by many factors – especially countries’ customs. If the customer clearance takes a long time, it may cause the delay of package. Super saver shipping company doesn’t update shipping status on their website so the packages can be tracked hardly. Any questions concerning about your order, you can log in and submit a ticket to contact our customer service people for help. Here is the way how you can contact them: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html

Thanks!
