Everything arrived in decent timely matter and in good condition!
Everything I have ordered from your company has been Excellent. No issues with any items I have purchased. Keep up with the Quality is been Great.
I ordered a size large for a green shirt dress and a medium size came. No solution to fix the problem. You should send me the right size without having to return the shirt dress.
Every piece of clothing I received fit and looks great. Material is silky soft & shipping was fast!
Delivery was received on time and everything was what I wanted
I have used this company's service in the past and have always been satisfied. They seem to have products which are hard to find or different but useful. I'm happy so far...
Always love getting packages from you, products are good and delivered quickly with a text that it is at my door.
I am very pleased with the items I received as well as the up to date processing and shipping info on the website.
I ordered a short sleeve shirt, supposed to have been Cotton, Button Down & patchwork.
What I received was blurred print polyester, not even the right colour.
The company is currently messing me about with the refund.
More & more of this sort of thing is happening when you buy online and these companies think it's funny to rip you off.
It's so much easier to go out and buy in person from a store. At least then you know what you're buying.
I will Not be using this company in the future.
On my first order, I was sent the wrong shirt... right size but wrong color. When I asked for a refund, I was offered a discount credit on a future order. I declined and asked again for a full refund. I was then offered a bigger discount on a future order. I declined and again asked for a full refund. Finally, I was told to keep the shirt and was issued a full "credit" that showed up in my account several days later. I have requested that credit be returned to my credit card.
So, customer service was polite, but tried very hard to keep my money. They finally confirmed they are issuing a full refund. I'll know for sure in 3-5 days.
My biggest concern is that my malware app (Malwarebytes) initially BLOCKED access to this website due to "a suspicious top level domain... and that it may contain malicious activity." They "strongly" advised me to NOT continue going to this site and that doing so may be putting my safety at risk. This is a serious issue. And it is the first website I have ever encountered that triggered this malware warning. SO, I am done with this company and I advise others to be very cautious about doing business on this website.

Good qulity,fast delivery, yoy can track your order at all time during the process.
Nice quality on the products for a rather low price
The quality and feel of the fabric is great, very soft and the stitching is well done and straight.
The sizing is on the small side but I will be ordering more.
Customer service very proactive in resolving complaints. Dresses advertised as Cotton/Linen. Dresses delivered are polyester.
Returns so difficult I took a voucher which you can only use if your order is double the value of the voucher and pay shipping fees again.

We are very happy with the fleece leggings ordered, good quality. The fit could have been a bit larger but we'll remember this for our next purchase. The leather bag was great, good quality at a can't be beat price. The cat bags were fun if a little small.
Ordered clothes that were "photo" gorgeous online from Light in the Box. When my 2 orders arrived (which took weeks to get and I mean several weeks) the clothes in the packages looked like they were purchased from goodwill and packed up and sent to me! Yucky! The clothes were nothing like the pictures that this company advertises online. Fake and fraudulent company. Buy from companies where you can actually talk to real people and return in a brick and mortar shop!

Products are excellent. Delivery was timely and error free.
Ordered an item for £87 from their website with an additional £20.00 plus an additional £4 for insurance.
The order was placed on 4th September with delivery expected within 1week.
Payment was confirmed on the website and taken from my debit card yet no email confirmation has been received.
Order not showing on my account either.
I emailed Lightinthebox and received an auto-reply suggesting i'd logged into the wrong account and offering troubleshooting tips to resolve, which incidently takes you around the loop with no resolve.
I raised a ticket afterwards through the account that I ordered the item on and still no reply from the company.
If I could have rated it a zero star belive me I would have.
I am a total of £111.19 out of pocket and now not sure if I can get that back.

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.
