My granddaughter absolutely loved the dress. She's 5 and told me Grandma it's so beautiful, I'm going to cry. Wore it for her Christmas program at school!
On 12/14 I purchase a linen suit & shirt for my husband dor $164.93. One sleeve was longer than the other. After emailing light in a box I was told I would be responsible for the return ( postal service fee$63.00 to ship to china) & once the item is received I will be refunded $121.98 although I paid $164. Please be careful with these site it's not what it appears to be.
LightlnTheBox ma bardzo szeroką ofertę. Moje zakupy były udane. Otrzymałam produkt dobrej jakości i w dobrej cenie. Zwłaszcza polecam oferty z ceną e-mail. Przesyłka dotarła szybko, dobrze zapakowana. Polecam wszystkim.
It was my first time purchasing so I was very apprehensive, but the items came in before Christmas, I had 1 issue with size and they were great addressing my issue.
I got this for my fiance and he absolutely loved it
Quando comecei a comprar, a experiência foi muito negativa, as entregas eram extremamente demoradas, muitas eram devolvidas e alguns dos produtos não eram os solicitados, era um péssimo serviço, a todos os níveis, hoje é diferente, tudo corre normalmente.
Obrigada.
Excellent response and clarity in product display. Service came with products as described and ordered
I have ordered several shirts from this site and they have all been good quality for the price. I was a bit disappointed with the sleeve "patches" on this particular shirt, as they don't cover the elbow area as shown, that's why it's not rated as a 5 star. Regardless, I have received several compliments on the appearance of this particular shirt, so much so that I will be ordering another one that's similar and also one for my father for his birthday. I was also skeptical on ordering a medium, as I always wear a large, but I took the advice of the countless online reviews stating that they run true to size(based off of the sizing chart) and they were right, it's a good fit, thank you.
Prodotto conforme alle foto sul sito, molto originale, consegnato nei tempi previsti dall'ordine (unica nota un po' così, il peso del tessuto è di mezza stagione, non propriamente invernale, o almeno non da inverno in Trentino)
I really like the Stuff they have, but it seems like shipping takes a long time compared to other sites such as Temu. The prices are relatively the same. Maybe a little higher on some a little lower on some. But the shipping is why I do not buy more. It takes too long and is higher price than a lot of other sites
Price is good n commensurate with quality. On 2 occasions, colors are out.- I ordered blue but recd dark purplish blue - awful color. I ordered abt 12 times this year n quite happy as long as color is correct.
Until this year i was never one to shop online, always sceptical of being scammed or so,
Then i decided to have a go and i was pleasantly surprised by light in the box merchandise.
The quality of the clothing i have purchased was well above my expectations, and i highly recommend
Light in the box to all my friends. Thank you
In the pictures, the T-shirts look good!
The delivery was absolutely 'on the button!'
So far, so good...
I wore the 'Innocent until proven guilty' T-shirt for TWO hours, including one hour's driving: the 'pilling' down the back was dreadful!
I am not sure how to remove it but as it is, the T-shirt looks unfit for wear.
What should I do next? Any ideas out there?
Cheers!

Parcels always arrive on time or before. Item as described. Very satisfied!
My experience with Lightinthebox has been mostly very good once I understood the sizing. Always delivered before time and as advertised.
Tres bon service produit de bonne qualité et prix O.K... Mais livraison quelque trop chere pour le prix de l'article...moins cher a domicile...Mais tres bon choix de produit et disponible...
I bought a pair of boots and they are tight in the ankle and when I do get my feet through they are too big in the foot part of the boot. They are very cheaply made the material inside the upper part is a black velvet so you can't even fold them down if you want to. The darker pieces on the back dig into my ankle and the description says they are platform but they are not platform they are flat and I need the platform that is the reason I bought them plus I love the style and how they look in the pictures. They were cheaply made and definitely not what I paid for

Good lether jacket lightweight and warm,only issue is that the 3X size runs a little smaller than other brands I have tried.
They should offer tall sizes also.
The company deliver the order on time and they produced is very good quality
Beautiful satin fabric and well made beautiful skirt. Talented seamstress. Shipping is slow so it took 2 weeks but it was high season for shipping due to Christmas. Recommend choosing expedited shipping.
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.
