Shipping fees are very high and have to make sure you're not going to want to return anything. Returns are a rip off
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.
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.
Produit conforme à la photo de plus date de livraison parfaitement respectée. Merci
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.

Interesting products,acceptable prices. Witty remarks on T shirts.
While not everything is great, about 90% if what I purchase is perfect.
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
Very easy to use and i am very satisfied. The quality of the product are very good and time of dilivery is adequate
Grate variety at low prices. Chipping is relatively fast. No complaint. I am verysatisfied
Great products for reasonable price.
I have purchased several items with success.
Very good options!
Easy app to use. Love the emails with deals and flash sales
Unique array of products, not often found on other sites, especially at the prices quoted. Relatively simple transaction process, shipping services and time was reasonable, fit and finish of purchased items was great.
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.
Prices cannot be beat, shipping costs are reasonable, shipment time is more-than-acceptable, fit of products spot-on. 2 thumbs up
Good quality clothes at a great price! One is for a gift - I cannot wait to see how it looks on her. I wore mine yesterday and was impressed with the good workmanship. It was lovely to wear.
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!

Decent time for products to arrive, I am happy with the results
I have purchased unique items from light in the box - and have been generally very pleased with the results - I am always reviewing their sales for items
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.
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.

Happy with Light in The Box products and service. What I purchased was exactly as show on the website
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.
