Love this site, liked every thing I have ordered, especially for Christmas presents
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 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

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
Still have not gotten the products I bought even though this is what I was told: 2023-12-01 ~ 2023-12-07 Bought them back around Thanksgiving and needed for an event this week but still not received. Very disappointed!
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.

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.
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.
Les chandails son de qualité supérieur tres belle couleur et tres confortable.
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./
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...
Tot ce am comandat a ajuns bine. Îmi plac lucrurile, sunt de calitate. Noi suntem prieteni vechi. Sa nu va schimbați!
Am cumpărat de la dumneavoastră lucruri frumoase și de calitate. Revin de fiecare data cu placere și încredere.
I really love Your store but I can not afford a $12 service charge on every purchase other have quit buying form you for that reason.I can go to any online site and they only charge normally $3.50 or $5.50m for shoes or other larger items.Not $12.
I have bought several items from these folks and never had any problem.Love there products,good quality.
Every article I got from you fits well. Very nice and comfortable clothes. Good quality!
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.
I was pleased with my purchases. I found affordable was great e items and del was great.
Absolutely perfection I have no complaints sometimes you have to take the bitter with the sweet to do with the bad the surprise with the not so surprised Etc in this world and every time something wasn't what it was supposed to be and I brought it to your attention you and your company's always tried your best to make it right I appreciate you and that effort completely see you in 2024 If God willing I'll be able..
Wonderful! Great arrived on schedule. Will place some more orders latter!
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.
