Shirts are completely different than advertised. Cheap material. Smaller size than advertised. Thumbs down.
I have ordered many products and some were good but the clothing sizes were not. My last order was a disaster the sizes were all too small. I don't think I will be ordering much in clothing anymore. The sizes should be for Canadian sizes since the products are sold in Canada.
Apart from the shoes, the two dresses didn't look at all like the description photo on website!
I was quite excited to receive the packet… When I opened then saw those two dresses I could not trust my eyes they looked disgusting and terrible material to give a present to my grandchildren. I had to buy them some other dresses from High street shop and less price than I had purchased those two dresses!
I can never advise it a friend! Kindly, keep your offers I don't need anything from you online shop again!. Unfortunately! I always have bad experiences in ordering stuff from China.

Whenever I purchased something at lightinthebox.com I was very satisfied with the products I received and the customer service. When I had a problem, they were very friendly and helped me immediately. I can recommend this shop!

Me gusto la camisa muy bonita llego a tiempo para mi evento graciasl
I have purchased many things from light in the box. I have enjoyed shopping with them. Their items a good quality and the delivery is within a good time frame. I will definitely continue to shop with them
Shirts are comfortable to wear. A lot of nice reactions on the different text on the shirts. Specially the shorts with the retirement text on it. Easy to wash.
I always found something interesting to buy at Lightin the box. Service is fast the tricking of my purchases, accurate step by step,my objection is that less ads per day will be less overwhelming.control your notifications one per day will be great.
I have purchased a variety of different items from kitchen to costumes. Each time I have had a great experience. Once l had an issue and it was immediately resolved. I have found some amazing items at Light in a box and will continue to shop.
Light in the Box has the best products from Christmas novelties to winter clothing. It's is very easy to place an order & shipment is very fast. The product itself is good but it needs some improvement. The picture of the item for clothing is very misleading as the actual item isn't the same. Light in the Box are very good at taking an item back & returns are very easy to do but they to work on the actual item & picture that is shown for it.
Products are great, customer service is great, the prices are great!
I ordered two sweater dresses from LightInTheBox. I ordered sizes based on the measurements given on the website. The one dress is absolutely beautiful. It fit perfectly and looks just as pictured online. The other dress did not fit and the quality was not at all like pictured online.
The shirt was well made and came in a reasonable amount of time.
Easy to deal with good quality items and delivery is quick
Nice sweatshirt bought from LightInTheBox.
The product arrived on time and is good quality.
An interesting product and a pleasant experience!
That was my first contact with LightInTheBox.
I purchased a fur coat and I was worried about the appropriate size, so I requested the support of an operator--Alena-- who, with solicitude, advised me what size to order! Upon receiving the package, I had a pleasant surprise. The material, although synthetic, has a pleasant and durable texture, and the size was perfect! I was also pleased with the value for money and overall it was a good purchase and I'm sure I'll happily return to LightInTheBox.
When i received my package for the hoodie.i was really impressed the the colours... it something i will wear on a daily bases.this is my four hoodie and i hope to buy more, Showed people that i work with all loved it.in the new year will be makeing another hoodie order.keep up the great designs
My experience with LITB has been excellent. The blue velvet party dress I bought recently is superb, elegant and comfortable, fits perfectly. I will buy from them again!
Jestem bardzo zadowolona z otrzymywanych od Was towarów. Szczególnie odzieży damskiej i akcesoriów - są to rzeczy piękne, często unikalne - widać, że zaprojektowane i wykonane ze smakiem - trafiają w mój gust. Np kolorowa sukienka. Podziwiam zmysł artystyczny przy doborze kolorów i rozmieszczeniu malowanych na niej kwiatów. Koronkowa sukienka jest zjawiskowa. Uwielbiam styl romantyczny, a ona spełnia moje oczekiwania. Dostałam tez piękne gałązki sztucznej piwonii. Sa tak zrobione, że tylko uważne oko odrózni je od żywych kwiatów. Ostatnio zamówiłam torebki damskie - mam nadzieję, że będą takie jak w Waszej ofercie - śliczny wyrób z tłoczonej we wzory, kolorowanej skóry. Nie mogę się doczekać kuriera.
Liczę na dalsze udane zakupy - Dziekuję i pozdrawiam Anna
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.
