Bon produit, bonne taille et bonne grandeur...
The deliveries can be a little slow. But the prices and the quality of the clothing is very good.
Worst company ever. You can not return or contact anyone from Lightinthebox.Idid order leather jacket and received some fake stuff.Do not order anything from them!
Bien reçu rapidement. Gilet de qualité et de la bonne grandeur
Ein Teil der Ware war OK.
Für defekte Ware (Uhr) wurde Ersatz geschickt.
Sowohl die defekt gelieferte Uhr und auch die als Ersatz gelieferte Uhr war nicht in dem Design wie bestellt.
Die Versandkosten waren sehr hoch.
Da gibt es noch eine Reihe an Dingen die unbedingt verbessert werden müssen:
Auf meine zweite Nachricht kam überhaupt keine Antwort zurück.
Auch sind einige Funktionen nur durch installieren der App möglich.
So etwas geht in meinen Augen gar nicht.
Das können andere Versender aus China besser.
Wenn die beanstandeten Mängel behoben werden und der Versand bei mehreren Artikeln nicht teurer wird, kann man LightInTheBox weiterempfehlen.
The jackets to Short in the sleeves and the back is to short.I ordered according to the size chart.
I bought a dinosaur liter from Light in the box when I received it, it was wrapped in two boxes. The outer box was in perfect condition when I opened it for the inside box. It was the original box of the toy, and it had three intentions in it, so I contacted the light in the box and asked them if that was going to affect it, and they replied " We assure you that there will be no problem". The problem with that is this is Christmas time and at my business we have created a theme for needy children and I have taken on a 2 1/2 year-old that I will not get to see or hear how they enjoy their present so I will be available to make sure that it works now I have to give the toy to someone that I can be around to make sure that their toy works or get them another toy so that's why I was hoping that would respond with telling me they would exchange it, but they did not they just want me to take the defected box and possibly defected toy to a child that I don't know and don't get to see how their Christmas ends up so I am not happy with the response nor happy with the product Security

Received my order. Clothes I ordered were of poor fabric quality. I requested a return and after several back and forth emails I received an okay to return. I was told it would cost $40.00. The post office said it was going to cost $100.00. They do not offer return labels. Now I am out over $200.00 for some junk. Never again what a rip off. Back to MADE IN AMERICA!

The workmanship and fabric quality of the clothing leaves much to be desired. I've ordered at least six shirts from them and will definitely not be ordering any more. Most of the clothing pictures seem to be computer generated because the actual products I received looked very different from what is shown on the website (which look very nice.) Pattern matching between parts of a shirt, for example, as shown in the pictures is poorly executed on actual products. Even the apparent texture of the fabric in the pictures is misleading.
They also select only the favorable reviews to publish - with one or two average ones to give the impression they publish all reviews. Out of the five or six product reviews I have written they published only one which I gave four stars. All other two and three star reviews remain unpublished. I complained about this to them but got nowhere.

I have ordered multiple times from Light In the Box. Products range from good quality to poor quality. I would order from them again. I paid for the Gold Membership so the low shipping costs for the orders make up for the amount of money I lost for poor quality products. Return shipping to China is cost prohibitive.
I have ordered over 20 items from Light in the Box and satisfied with everything. Colors match the picture. Cook stuff.
Cool things to select from, easy to order, orders are always correct, Comes USPS so I don't have to mess with Fed Ex or UPS trying to find us in the mountains.
I submitted a request last week to return two of the three items. And have not been given a return label
My dress came quickly, looks just like it does online, and it came at a great price!
Web site is super and easy to use,
Prices are super and even drop lower.
Item arrived early and are of great quality.
I purchased a camera bulb and I cannot get it to work ltried 4 times and gave up who would l contact to
Get it working?
At first I was apprehensive when l made my first order but everything turned out great l will not hesitate to place other orders and refer your company to others thank you
I get so many compliments on my super cute sweatshirt! I did size up 1 or 2 sizes and it fit perfectly! Love it!
Updates were wonderful, but out of the three sweaters I ordered, I was pleased with only one,
One was very poorly made and was way to small, one was way way to wide I'm having to put darts in the side, the other was about right,

The price should be an indicator that you will get what you pay for! I ordered over $500 worth of dresses for an event intending to return the majority after trying them on. I went out of town and my order was delivered. When I was able to finally get to my order and select the items to return, I was told by customer service that it was past the 7 day return window and my items were non-refundable. Also, the quality of these items are of very poor. Most of them are nothing as pictured and fall between cheap and plastic material. I personally would recommend NEVER ordering from this website!

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.
