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!

Everything was beautiful

Everything was beautiful. From the dress to the invitations to the reception favors (cake topper, etc.). And at a price you can't beat. Will definitely be shopping again on this site.

Absolutely perfect, very easy to assemble, and the quality is fantastic - very pleased with the items and can't wait for my guests to see them! They're a tiny bit smaller than I thought they would be, but that is my fault for not checking measurements! They're still perfect for my favours, and I am so so pleased with them. Definitely worth the money!

I shop at LightInTheBox regularly
July 15, 2014

I shop at LightInTheBox regularly - mostly, electronics, parts, gadgets. Never had a real problem - once (many years ago) has some sort of an issue with the order and it was resolved easily and quickly.
Free shipping from China takes a while - that is to be expected, of course. If you want it faster, pay for the faster service instead of b*tching later.
Just bought a swimsuit for my daughter (my first clothing purchase from them, I think). She absolutely loves it. Fairly thin fabric but seems to be of good quality. She checked and it does not go transparent when wet. And a very unique design. Now my other daughters want one!

Love this company! The clothing and accessories are made to my expectations! I got my engagement dress from here, it is stunning! I will recommend this website to anyone and everyone. I got most of my wedding accessories from here: veil, tiara and shoes! Love them all! Their shipping is always on time or sooner, the clothes and accessories are always packed neatly! They're easy to work with and very understanding!
