I bought a tablet and after I open it, can not find the charger. Tried to power on but nothing happened so I had a PC technician check it out and says that tablet is defective. Then I called TMART phone no. In New Jersey at *******266 but I hear always a busy signal sometimes just noise. So I called my credit card customer service to cancel my order but they told me to wait around 60 days for they will contact TMART. I was waiting where to ship back the merchandise but I'm not. Getting any responds even in my email
This package came directly from China and returning this will cost a fortune. Reference no. Is LF*******514 $84.95 wish they will give me a refund with this defective product.

We've bought several items so far, & have not been disappointed with any. They have all arrived within the specified time limits, & usually before the expected delivery date. No need for returns or exchanges to this point. Will continue to shop with them.

The dress I ordered is amazing (I ordered Ocean Blue) and even better than it looks in the photo. It is beautifully made and fits like a glove! Thank you to each person who was involved in its creation. My experience from the start to the finish was superb. I am in the customer service industry and I am impressed!

I was worried that buying shoes without trying them on wasn't a very good idea, but I have to say these shoes fit well and are comfortable and hold the foot well. I bought 4 pairs of dancing shoes in all and I am very pleased, also I have to say that LightInTheBox have been excellent, great communications via messages and I can't fault them. Thank you, I look forward to dancing with my new shoes and I will be buying from you again!

I absolutely love the traditional Jacquard floral cut velvet table runner. It looks so pretty on my cherry wood dinette. Excellent product!

I was very pleased with every step of the process. They allow you to put in your own measurements and have a detailed guide to show you how to measure. The dress fit perfectly and was extremely well made. I will definitely be buying more from LITB!

I couldn't believe the prices!
July 18, 2014

I couldn't believe the prices! I got 2 watches, 2 bracelets and 1 set of Professional Makeup Brushes for less than 35.00 USD & FREE Shipping! I didn't pay extra for fastest delivery and was expecting my package to arrive one month after my purchase since it says on the webpage that it takes 10-20 business days, but surprise!... It only took 10! So if you're in no hurry to get your items free shipping might work for you. The quality of the products is excellent! I'm recommending this site to all my friends and family.

I have always found the products that I have purchased to be as they are shown on this site.

I can dance with beautiful products now, and I can't wait for my next shipment to arrive!

You can dance with rainbows too!
