Моя оценка
January 5, 2024

Мне нравится, что LightInTheBox довольно быстро отправляет заказы, и не очень нравится, что
LightInTheBox слишком часто дублирует в рассылках одни и те же товары - так, что я не успеваю их просматривать...
Извините...

L'article *******: "Femme Legging Toute la longueur Polyuréthane Micro-élastique Taille médiale... Fin de semaine Noir Taille unique...",
Avait un petit trou dans la dentelle juste sous le niveau de la ceinture. J'ai donc dû le porter chez un couturier pour résoudre le problème avant d'offrir ce cadeau à ma femme.
Mais ce collant est très joli et très sexy, à porter avec quelque chose en-dessous si à l'extérieur vu la transparence à l'avant.
L'article ******* "Robe en jean Femme Mini robe Jean Mode... Col V Zippé Ceinture à nouer Manche Courte Eté Printemps 2022 Mince Noir S,
Est très joli et de bonne qualité.
L'article *******: Homme Chemise boutonnée Chemise décontractée... d'été Rouge manche longue Abstrait Revers...
Est très joli et le tissus semble de bonne qualité. La chemise taille M est cependant trop ample, surtout à la taille, et j'ai dû la porter chez le couturier pour la faire reprendre sur au moins 5 à 7 cm de chaque côté des aisselles à la taille, ainsi que sur toute la longueur des manches qui étaient trop larges.
Cela fait (25 €), elle est magnifique et tombe maintenant très bien car beaucoup plus près du corps.

There were so many issues with delivery! Product wasn't as it is portrayed to be. Dresses were supposed to be full of glitter/sparkles and there was absolutely none ( pretend star like images instead).

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. The item was beige not white & the item was substandard quality. It was mailed in an envelope with the name "Jane" with an incomplete N.J. Address. No U.S. address to make a return. Many many emails to customer service were useless. I wanted to return it for a full refund as I was adhering to the return policy including actually measuring the garment, and sending them pictures of any tags on it, & the plastic bag it arrived in! They delay and delay any way possible so you will give up and let them have your money. They refused to refund me & told me to put it towards another order, NO! They jerked me around so long I finally wrote it off which it what they want, to keep our money. The cheap clothes are from China there is no place in the U.S. to return items. Light in the Box is a sham Chinese business with shoddy merchandise. There is not enough room here to detail all the communication between myself and Light in the Box. Save your money time and sanity, don't buy from them.

Paying shipping twice.
January 3, 2024

I purchased two items separately. Both items came to me postage due. One for 11.00 dollars. The other for 8.00 postage due. I think this money should be refunded or given a credit.
