They got the order wrong. The size 5 shoes did not fit. They were too small. They gave me two tops the wrong colour. There is nothing worth keeping. I paid a tonne of money and also about £25 DHL tax fees that were not mentioned my end. It really was a complete waste of time and money and the quality of items poor. It is not worth me sending the items back.
The quality is not that high but you do receive your products within the promised time. NOTE if you buy clothes remeber that they are based on asian people so clothes might be too short

Compré dos ciclocomputadores para mi bicicleta y estoy muy feliz con ellos. Recibí mi paquete en la puerta de mi casa en Medellín Colombia 3 días después de los prometido; el paquete venía bien sellado asegurando que los productos no se dañaran en el envío.
La calidad de los productos ha sido óptima llevo usándolos ya 3 meses y no ha presentado ninguna falla.
La transacción fue segura no tuve ningún problema.
Recomiendo el sitio.
Great products and services. Quick response and on time delivery
Love their products, fast shipping, and always in great condition.
Here is your previous review on our site for reference: So happy with my product. Fast delivery. Good quality. Happy customer! :) 10/10, great quality products and massive selection of goods! A++++
Very good service, any questions are answered right away along whit problem solving ideas. Having some insight with plumbing I was able to figure out what to do. I found this site by accident and was happy with awesome variety of faucets. The color changing one and now own a couple of them when I am upgrading my two bathrooms, I would recommend this company highly.
I received the dress this morning, totally perfect. My dress arrived sooner than expected, and is exactly as shown on the picture and very comfortable. Totally recommend this site.
The dress was very beautiful shipping on time but the dress didn't fit so well and I was charged more shipping fees at signing off from ups.
"This dress came earlier than expected. It was a custom fit so I was kind of nervous. I've lost a bunch of weight and my upper arms did not shrink with the rest of me. I got in contact with customer service to convey the size of my arms. They were gracious and responded that it would be to my specifications. I have never been more surprised (pleasantly) than I was when I received this dress. It was very, very well made and fits perfectly. The material under the see-through material was almost double. I can't think of the way to describe it properly but it was beyond well done. I am thrilled with my purchase and highly recommend this website! "
Love this site! It has everything you could possibly need with quality and great price. The suggested delivery time has always been on point. I was able to buy some really nice gifts for friend without breaking my wallet. As for looking for that special dress for special occasion, this is the site. You can always find something really nice that you know everyone else does not have in their closet. I could not do without this site.
This is a web site where you can question a product before you buy. If you have a problem with a product there is always someone to assist you. I'm not only enjoying the product that I've received from lightinthebox but there tracking and on time service.
It was my first time purchase and the service is excellent, more than you except.
I recommend it to everyone.
Omg i m really happy ordered, free standin taps and shower kit, and towel warmer it would have cost me a small fortune only cost me a 1/3 happy happy happy
Just now i paid for a cell phone to light in the box. The product is the one i am looking. And i saved my time for shopping over streets and very easy to place an order too. This is the product i m looking for and dual sim i need very much. I know and i am sure that this phone gives me a good service as same as light in the box. I need say thank you a lot to light in the box to serving us in a good manner.
I am verysad with this site! I have never been so ignored in my life and my order never came i will probably file a refund with my paypal company. Please stay away from this site the products seldom arrive and dont care about the customer only the money. I never got my package :(( ((((((((
Ticket **************
Good variety of clothing. Not so good return policy. Fast shipping and replies.
This company/site... honestly, there isn't enough words that can express how disappointed and overall pissed off I am that I ever thought to use this place.
The customer service, unless you speak Chinese, don't bother.
The products, legitimate Chinese crap (I word it like that because this site is titled legitimate Chinese business).
There is NO warranty on anything, even though it says it comes with the manufacturer's one year, yeah, there is NO way to contact any of the MFG's. When you try to get lightinthebox.com customer support to help you, you have to jump through a bunch of automated hoops from the deepest, darkest levels of Hell that Dante never prepared me for. Since their HELP and CUSTOMER SERVICE system is completely automated, there is no solution or help.
The knock off android tablets I got for 5,6 and 7 year old, one was used and scratched horribly out of the book (their reply was, "You pay to send back and pay for us to ship to you new. Takes 10-45 days." Are you effing serious? It'd cost 3 times more to so that then to have a p*ssed off 7 year old with a scratched tablet.
Each tablet died less than 3 months after getting them. The wear from the users was always supervised so they died on their own accord.
Would NEVER shop here again.

I was so excited to receive my dress but I was so worried that the colour might not be perfect, but it is absolutely perfect! Glad to find this wbsite.
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.
