Site says "Free Returns". NO. We received 3 dressing that were 3 sizes to small, and was told we had to pay shipping to Asia to exchange sizes. No way to talk to anyone. Zero stars for Customer Service. We were robbed.

I love this website
December 13, 2023
Updated review

I've been back so many times!
I bought so much stuff
Shipping is quick
I must say things run small order the next size larger
I was disappointed with a shirt as is was a heat press and not a screen print so when it arrived the artwork was already cracked and had peeled up a bit in one section
Disappointing because I really loved it. It was hilarious and I was looking forward to it as a Great gag gift…
All in all I'm happy with these guys
Site is so cool
Shipping is quick
Price is right
Check em out
The T shirt material is definitely not like normal T-shirt, cotton material it's definitely different and not an everyday T-shirt just a once in a while deal for sure
Just an honest opinion honest review

I love this website!
Everything on here is so creative and so fun I love it.
The app is so easy
Shipping was pretty quick
And I earned credits on each purchase after my small membership fee, which I've definitely used
So far, I love it
The quality of everything I've ordered is great
If I have anything to say, I would say the stuff runs just a bit small…. Order one size larger
Other than that everything is fantastic so far I love it

Return issue
December 13, 2023

Products are OK given pricing, but impossible to return, even when simply seeking exchange for a different size. Emailed them to ask for requisite form and never had a response. Sizing is all over the map in spite of chart on website. Too bad, because some of their products caught my eye and I would have considered future purchases. Just too much trouble to deal with them.

Be careful with the sizes
December 13, 2023

I ordered a dress and went by the sizing and it was way off. The dress was beautiful but I had to have it altered to wear it. Use the measurements as a guide, not the sizing.

Good and bad
December 12, 2023

I like the variety of items and the prices are very good. However, once you add taxes, shipping, handling and insurance, the deals are maybe only somewhat good. Items are generally fairly good quality. Sometimes the delivery gets a little slower than one might wish as it doesn't leave the warehouse as quickly as some other orders. And of course, coming from
China to the U.S. isn't a short distance.

Comfortable and fun on-line shopping experience
December 12, 2023
Updated review

I first was attracted to Light In The Box by an e-mail special event. The prices werre extremely good and the products offered seemed to match. While most on-line shopping experiences turn out to be disastrous and have warnings all over the internet, this one did not seem to fit in that category. I went ahead and placed an order and was comfortably surprised. The items I ordered were of a decent quality and met my expectations more that adequately.
One sweater in particular pleased me so much that I ordered a second in (I thought) a different colour, turned out I hit the wrong button so to speak and now have two the same. I keep hoping to find it advertised to be able to order it again in the different colour, but no luck.
The clothing I ordered, for Christmas gifts, was ideal; quality and style and size all worked well and the recipients were well pleased.
Thank you and I shall keep shopping.

Once again my order with LightInTheBox has been a successful adventure. My greatest fear is that shopping here is becoming an addiction. I have completedalmost all of my Christmas shipping without setting foot outside the house, at the same time adding to my sweater collection. Such fun./

Christmas shopping made easy
December 6, 2023
Previous review

I discovered Light in the Box unexpectedly, not sure where or how, but it was an e-mail special and shopping was a delight. Oh, the money I saved.
I have returned to their sites several times, finding it easy (too easy? Lol) to get around the sites and easy to shop. Prices are good and sale prices even better.
For the most part the quality, style, and available colors are exceptional. I have found only one item that I shall have to return as it does not work, a clothing vacuum that I thought would change my life as it is supposed to remove pet hair from clothing. On another occasion an item of clothing did not look as
Good in reality as it did in the ad on-line. Otherwise, in multiple purchases, I have been quite happy with the purchases. Quite a statement to be able to make.
I have done almost all of my Christmas shopping here, from clothing to household items to pet items and the lot. Just two gifts to go - and no stress but a lot of fun...

So far, I have purchased several items from light in the box. I like the clothing. With such a variety and good quality material, it's easy to find just the perfect items. The price is very reasonable. Also, I am very pleased with the illuminates. They are dainty yet perfect to put into little groups to shed just the perfect amount of light. I've already decorated with these, and am pleased how it turned out.
