White and Black pants for men
January 16, 2024

Unfortunately I used the sizing chart that they provided and it was way off, like two sizes off. After waiting for a couple of weeks to receive the pants I was so disappointed that I cleared out the additional 20+ items I was going to order. If they can't get something as direct as to get the sizes correct, how can I trust them to get anything else right. Sorry I ever ordered from them.

Shirt for son for Christmas
January 15, 2024

The shirt I ordered was too small. I wanted to exchange it but when I got to the Return or Exchange button on the website, it only addressed Returns not how to Exchange something. Additionally, if something needed to be returned or exchanged it had to be done within two weeks of ordering it. For me this would have been Xmas day when the gift had just been unwrapped! Do not order anything from this site, the quality is not that good and the return or exchange policy is unreasonable.

No way to do business
January 14, 2024

An order was cancelled but I am still waiting for your company to refund my money. Your customer service is nonexistent. Follow your return direction to the letter only to have your submit button not work. Tried it multiple times. You do not provide a number or other way to contact you. Terrible customer service!

The internal packaging was destroyed but fortunately the outer plastic bag held everything together. Very lucky that there was no damage to the boots.

Deceiving material
January 13, 2024

The main material of the dress is like a piece of silky black handkerchief which is totally different from the picture. It would cling and hitch or tear very easily and looks very very cheap fabric. I couldn't find a way to return this because I'll never wear it and I showed my friends who order online often and they wouldn't wear it either.

J'ai eu une bonne expérience avec Lightinbox, j'ai acheté beaucoup de choses, vraiment beaucoup!
Certains articles étaient de bonne qualité et à des prix très resonnable mais d'autres n'étaient pas bons mais quand tu fais une réclamation,le service à la clientèle est la pour aider. Je ne regrette pas d'avoir connu Lightinbox

Une belle expérience avec Lightinbox
Parfois les articles sont de bonnes qualité et à des prix très compétitifs mais parfois les articles ne correspondent pas vraiment à ce qui est décrit sur le site.mais en général Lightinbox est un site très fiable et de confiance.

Great customer services!
January 12, 2024

I have been ordering various merchandise with Light in the Box. Occasionally, wrong or defective products are received. Nevertheless, when I contacted customer services after verifying the facts, they always handled it professionally and satisfactorily. I will continue to be a Light in the Box customer.

NO INSTRUCTIONS ON RETURNING ORDER
January 12, 2024

I need to return a blouse and although they have responded by offering me various deals in order for me to keep the product and have said if I need to return it that they will send me the instructions on how to do it. After many emails back to them, they have not sent me the instructions, therefore I am holding the blouse that I cannot wear.

As per my review I would have had to pay pretty much the cost of the product to send the items back! So only got 30% back. 🙁

Horrible purchase
January 12, 2024

Material is cheap and does not look at all like in the pictures. VERY disappointed. Can't return as it will cost too much and the credit given is just to buy more crap- not good!
