Don't do it! The pictures look nice, and the sizing looks like it will fit, but when it arrives, it's poorly constructed and half the size you thought you had bought.
The return policy is even worse. You have to pay to mail it back to China. In my case, returning a $50 dress will net me $10 back. They will send you a coupon to apply to a future purchase, but why would I go through this again. Worthless!
XL can fit a 8 yr old, you have to read a book and get authorization for any returns and my wife says they wouldn't even make good rags

I ordered 2 shirts. One was ready to ship within a couple of days, the other took 10 days to ship. The company emailed me and asked if I still wanted the order because of the delay. I decided to just wait for the order. It came in about 2 weeks, and the gave me a credit for the delay in receiving my shirts. The shirts look great and the emails from the company eased my concern about being scammed. I got 2 great shirts at a great price.
I absolutely love the graphics on both shirts I ordered. I wish I could wear them. I ordered 2xl. These are more like a medium to a large at best. Not adult 2xl by any means. Sadly I won't be ordering shirts from light in the box again. Not worth the disappointment of not being able to wear such a nice shirt.
UPDATE: After contacting customer service they diligently worked to rectify the problem. They honestly made every possible effort to create a pleasing customer service. This alone will make me willing to but from light in the box again. I must say this has been my only bad experience.

These arrived right when they said to expect them. They are more beautiful than the picture they were in. The fabric is lovely and the colors are brilliant. I got these for my daughter-in-law and she loves them. Thank you so much.
There is no customer service and I cannot cancel the account I set up. Thank God I never ordered from them.
The advertised prices are a scam.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS SITE!

I was completely satisfied with my order. The price was reasonable. The quality of the material was good. In fact the item even looked much better when I saw it and felt it in person. I couldn't ask for a better fit. Delivery time was as promised. Good job! I'll definitely continue to shop at LightInTheBox.
Too small sizes of the sandals
and yet I had taken the measurements of my feet before placing my order
Moreover I wanted to return them but I was told that the costs would be very expensive about 40$ to return them
No problems at all Always speedy delivery Satisfaction delivered
Todo llegó a tiempo y bien. Definitivamente volveré a comprar
Beware returns need to be tracked back to China. Never using this site again.
They should have a UK address to send the items back to you.
Also the sizes are very small fitting for women.

Total Frustration! My order was held at customs for 71.00, I thought it was a scam to pay DHL, my money did get refunded.
My next issue was the size of a suit I ordered, I wanted to return it, however there was a process for taking measurements to compare to their chart. There is only one real option, As follows take 50% in credit on your next order. NO CASH OR EXCHANGE which is all I wanted

Delivery was relatively fast considering where it came from. It is the second and third fan that I have ordered because it is a good deal
The service is amazingly prompt and I'm like a kid at Christmas opening up the packages as they come. The items I have ordered fit and look wonderful... now to find some special events to wear them at!
Thank you!
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.
