Overall experience is great. Would love for shipping to be quicker but totally understandable
I love my Christmas/winter top with snowflakes on it and the beautiful fur collar.
The kids are playing with them. They were excited to get them.
I ordered a figure skating dress, which is quiet adventurous - you never know if it fits really according to the measures indicated. But everything is fine! The dress from Light in the Box looks exactly like on the photo, and it fits absolutely well, just as described! I'm really happy with it.
Every step of the delivery was acompanied by e-mail, so that I always knew where my dress was. It arrived as announced, and was in perfect condition. After I got it, Light in the Box asked again, if I have got it. I appreciated this sort of reliable delivery very much.
Only four stars, because it took more than a month until the dress arrived.
The delivery was fast (not fast enough for Christmas, but okay) and the items are really good. Better quality than expected...
En general bien, temas tengo una devolucion pendiente pero por lo demas bien
I have purchased from Light in The Box for a number of years. I choose carefully and have been most satisfied with the products. The sizing is still very confusing. If I choose US size, it does not work with the measurements. Some things come too big, others too small. But, I keep trying. Shipments are made quickly. Returns are more complicated.
The bag is exactly like I expected to be,the material is soft and the size perfect.
I did bye another one before that and I was very happy with.
I recently lost so much weight I had to rebuild a brand new wardrobe. I did not win the lottery, and so I didn't have an endless supply of money. Light in the Box allowed me to build a great wardrobe with interesting and wonderful new products and I saved a ton of money.
I've been very fortunate. I lost a lot of weight and I was forced to buy a whole new wardrobe. Light In the Box has allowed me to buy trendy new clothes at affordable prices. I feel very lucky I found light in the box.
I've made a handful of purchases from Lightinthebox and I must say, I've been mostly impressed. If you are looking for clothing and products that are unique and stylish that won't break the bank, you've come to the right place. You won't find better deals for quality products. You'll score even bigger if you happen to catch one of their "lightning deals". There are times where the product picture doesn't fully match the product and sometimes the shipping can take a bit long. However, the customer service is very responsive and fair! Overall, I recommend shopping here.
User friendly website. Great products and very good quality.
Terrific experience. My son loved his shirt.
They did a fabulous job.
Fast service and great products!
Thank you! The sound bar is awesome and works great
I have been trying to do an exchange and have had nothing but hoops to jump through!
I have not asked for a refund! I need a different size!
Next step is to call my credit card company! I am so frustrated!

Great deals and many products to choose from good luck on deciding
It was easy to order. It came in a timely manner. I am very happy with the product.
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.
