Very nice brooch, i am very satisfied, thanks for that... look same as a pictures
My experience with lightinthebox is overall good^_^
I have ordered personal items from Lightinthebox and i did not have any problems, with shipping and quality of the products. Their products are so mouth droping that i could not believe my eyes. Excellent service quality as well
Is been a good ride so far no doubt about it.
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!
I bought nail art brushes and I'm so happy with them - great quality brushes! They are very easy and comfortable to use even from beginners. Good range of shape and sizes for all kind of nail art. Definitely recommend!
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!
Ordered a dress for £59.00 at the checkout it was then £72.00 then received a text from UPS saying I had to pay another £66.00 in order to import it into the country from china. So in total paid £138.00 for a dress that was originally £59.00
Very fast, efficient service. Product absolutely perfect. Very happy. Heard about Lightin the Box through friends who have purchased from the site and who are very happy with their purchases.
Buying from Light in the box was a pleasure. The item was exactly as described and the communication with the site representatives was excellent. The ship really fast and the shipping method they offer is great. For sure i will buy again.
My experience with LightIntheBox has always been excellent! Their products and delivery service are impeccable! Thanks this website, it gives an opportunity to people with a low budget to finally give themselves something nice.
A beautiful necklace and very creative design and looks great on my wife
Excellent products and services. I live in Barbados and I am never disappointed. The Chinese need to be copied in how they treat customers and in their work ethics
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!
I have not had any bad experience with light in the box.
I absolutely love it! Looking forward to buying more stuff off them
Answer: Hello, I bought a few things and the quality was not very good and the sizing was totally wrong. I also bought a cellular charger and the battery inside was not soldered correctly. Lightinthebox has great price, but you pay for what you get, which isn't much. I have stopped buying from them.
Answer: Same problem... All thru email
Answer: We didn't buy a dress but the sizes are very small and the returns policy is a joke. I ended up losing money.
Answer: Dear Customer, we do recommend to you to refer to the size chart on each of the clothes first and then pick a suitable size for you.
Answer: Dear Customer, thank you for your inquiry. We're really sorry that our company made you feel nervous. Please kindly note that the total delivery time = processing time + shipping time. So for the arrival date of your package. It depends on the processing time of the product and the shipping method you choose. About the processing time, please kindly check the processing time on the product page. About the shipping time, you mentioned you paid extra fee for faster delivery. If the service you chose was expedited shipping, normally it takes 3-4 business days for shipping. If it's standard service, then 5-8 business days for shipping. If the order is delayed, we'll take full responsibility of that and you can contact us through tickets. You can refer to this guide to contact customer service: http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1192/a2974.html
Answer: Will you send us your order number so that we can check?
Answer: Dont buy anything from this site. The picture is good, the object quality is garbage. You will be cheated and loose you money.
Answer: You NEVER get your money back... dont use them. I am amazed this company is allowed to trade, I am sure we have law's against this kind of practise.
Answer: Suggest not to buy. Might end up not receiving the order or received the wrong size and would be returning and paying shipping or requesting a refund or not receiving a refund at all. There's more legit company like Amazon where I bought the same one I ordered from Lightinabox, which I did not received. Sorry, but I would not trust this Co for anything. It' up to you to take the risk.
Answer: Count yourself lucky and DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! You will be disappointed in the clothing and size from this company. All of the clothing I received was horrible quality and did not look at all like the photo they had online. They were just plain awful and the sizing was a joke. I received an XL shirt that would not fit a small person and a Med shirt (was supposed to be the same shirt as the XL) and the medium was literally larger than a 4x One was a terrible quality plain sweatshirt with a sticker posted on it and the other was a draping long gown like garment. I was appalled.would recommend finding a different company.
