BAD SERVICE
January 2, 2024

Before a purchase was to be mailed I requested address change and cancel an order. Your company afterward said their associate was in the wrong, I requested cancel order(NOT DONE) change address! I see today I am getting like 49.00. It cost me $85.00. You admitted YOU CAUSED PROBLEM? I WAS BUYING FROM YOUR COMPANY! I will go on line and give the reviews your company deserves! I am again requesting full $85.00 refund you owe me.

I had complained in an earlier review of the poor customer service and the fact the company did not offer a 100% refund on a return. Well, I'm here to say that the company has responded to my complaints and has given me my full refund for a sweatshirt that I was not happy with. They were apologetic and conveyed to me that they were very concerned about customer satisfaction. So I now recommend buying products from this company if you so choose

Exclusive prices
December 31, 2023

I will only shop at exclusive prices from now on at LightInTheBox
Chinese goods are of poor quality.
They don't match the prices you show in your catalog.
They could match 2x the cheapest offer.

Amazing affordable items
December 30, 2023

When I received my 1st order I was not expecting to be fully satisfied but I was. I loved how everything was packaged, everything fit. I literally have ordered numerous times because they always have something new and I have loved everything. The shipping wait is not that long. I have to say I love this store.

Fake company fake reviews
December 30, 2023

I was duped again by another Chinese company all these reviews are fake this company does not exist only to take your money they have no products. EBay and Amazon have always delivered their products as promised. I ordered four shirts and they said they have been delivered I am home all day cuz I am retired and I actually received an order from eBay and again they're always here when they say they're going to be here, I'll bet all these reviews saying how satisfied people are are fake. I bet my bottom dollar and I'll bet you you'll say this order number does not exist

Disaster
December 30, 2023

I purchased some merchandise in March 2023. I received the items in May, and they were of poor quality. I wanted to return the products and was told to the company would give me some of my money back. I had to pay for postage and once they received the package, I would also be reimbursed for my postage. After 5 additional months, I received the package back saying I did not pay enough postage. They are truly a sham and I rip off. Please do not buy anything from them. You will regret it.

I tried 4 items and like them all.
December 29, 2023

These are excellent for the price. The shipping is pretty intimidating, but considering the complete cost per item, it's a decent buy. Love the softness of the sweaters. I would advise people pay attention to the size chart for every item, and if you don't want a fitted garment, size up one size. Overall a good place to buy and I would buy again. Colors were true on the pictures to what I received.
