Somewhat Disatisfied
December 27, 2023

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.

Light in the Box Overall Rating
December 27, 2023

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.

Sweater Dresses
December 26, 2023

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.

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.

Słowa uznania
December 26, 2023

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
