Site is ok
January 23, 2024

Shipping fees are very high and have to make sure you're not going to want to return anything. Returns are a rip off

Very good site
January 23, 2024

In the main, everything I have ordered has met or exceeded expectations. The customer service & shipping (with an updated tracking report) is one of the best in the industry.

Delivery & quality
January 23, 2024

The quality of items and sizing is inconsistent. The delivery time is regularly later than the estimated timeframe stated at checkout. I am often dissatisfied & hesitant to place future orders.

Dress was cheaper looking than the picture ordered from. Asked for a 14 I'm a 12 totally sized wrong could have been a 10 or smaller the way it was cut. Customer service refused to give a credit or return till I went to my credit card company then wanted to give 50% back and make me pay for return because it was going back to china. Never again.

The over all experience was not bad, shipping could have been fast and the t shirt fits a bit smaller that most other 3XL shirts.

They realized the smartest thing

After I advertised with evidence the negative experience of the local package delivery company, they found another company that works without any problems, and they are very kind. Here is an example that the world can be made beautiful. Thank you

For my online clothing experience, LITB cannot be beat. Selections are stylish, and prices are very competitive, especially during their sale events. Transactions are pretty straightforward, and shipping times are very reasonable.
This purchase was a great experience, and I will revisit LITB for future purchases.

I ordered this for my bf for XMAS. I ordered it so I would have it before xmas per their website. IT TOOK 28 DAYS TO GET TO ME WHEN I ORDERED IT HAD SAID 7-10 DAYS! My bf's bday is 4 days after xmas. I help onto it for a few more days as his bday is shortly after xmas. When we opened it, it was WAY TO SMALL and not the quality I had expected. Now because I received the order more than 14 days ago I cannot even exchange it! Or return it! Buyer beware! I wouldn't buy from this company... Ill say I understand not allowing to return it(even though it took you 3times longer to get it to me than you had originally quoted when i ordered. So that's ok of course), but I cannot even exchange it? That's bad business! So now I am stuck with a $100 heated outfit that doesn't fit. This is the 1st and LAST time I will shop on lightinthebox. STAY AWAY!

Two Tops
January 19, 2024

One of the tops had missing buttons and the other was not the material I thought it would be and both did not fit even though I ordered the size that should have fit. Hoping that I will be compensated before I will make another order.

So long LightintheBox.
January 19, 2024

The garment did not fit. I asked how to return it for one that does fit, and I am told you do not have any reverse shipping. I would have to pay to return the garment back to Asia, out of my own pocket. Not doing anymore business with you.
