I was wrong about this Company who have offered excellent customer service, good communication and a practical resolution with a full refund for a quality garment that is slightly different in colour to that of photograph. I would now have renewed confidence in them.

Ordered 4 items of tracksuit cost me £59.68 including postage. End result - refunded £21.97 and got to keep the cheap tat. Lessons learnt – check location of orders, returns policy before order item
Items were faulty, loose stitching and poor quality and below standard
I did check location quickly and saw a London address and assumed that where items were coming from and also noted delivery postage cost was £10.80.
When I realised they were coming from China I had my fingers crossed.
On receiving and checking items felt scammed, on attempting to return items found out it was my responsible and postage to china was almost twice as much as initially postage cost.
I noted the return to on the package was a London address if the package was unable to be delivered. Yet I had to return it to China.
The below where the options given to me:
We would like to propose the following offers which may be more beneficial and practical than a return:
A) Keep the item and receive a reward of 30% of the product's value.
B) Keep the item with a refund of 10% of the product's value.
I refused and so was offered:
A) Keep the item and receive a reward of 60% of the product's value.
B) Keep the item with a refund of 50% of the product's value.
I choose the refund 50% less hassle.
Customer service was really good in dealing with this matter, looks like they're done this before.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I sincerely apologize for what happened and all the inconveniences caused.

I am afraid that you misunderstood us. We'd like to help you return all unqualified products back for the full refund, at our expense. But we think it will take a long time for the package to be returned. So we suggested you to keep the order with a discount. But if you still prefer to return, we are willing to handle your request. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

In order to meet your satisfaction, I had conducted new Ticket ID =23397185 in our ticket center to follow up your case and provide you new solutions for consideration. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.

Delayed delivery
April 18, 2021

I waited for almost 3 months to receive the order, yet I suppose this had to do with the unfavourable conditions related to the pandemic, plus the Christmas period which is traditionally furious in terms of traffic.
Nevertheless, the staff was very soothing and suggested patience. At least the item I ordered was worth it!

Black Skirt
April 17, 2021

I looked everywhere for a black skirt for my mother. It had to be black, pretty and just the right "midi" length. The one I found here was a pretty, light material with a full skirt and tiny pleats. It fitted her perfectly and she loved it.

Very happy and relieved
April 17, 2021

I would like to say I was very happy with my experience with Lightin the box. Goods exactly as pictured in ads. Delivery times was 6 weeks not 3, but due to Covid19 I wasn't surprised. Shipping cost a bit high though.

I ordered 5 times on this site. I received 3 orders with quality products. I had to ask for a change in the measure, which I did. For the products that were no longer in stock, my money was returned very promptly. I will continue to choose products from this site.

Fantastic designs
April 17, 2021

On the whole, I rate my experience very good, except that i did not receive the last 3 t-shirts which I suspect somebody else is wearing now, courtesy of me. Oh well, you win sometimes, you lose sometimes. But on the other hand, they just might turn up unexpectedly. Who knows?
Thankyou very much for the service. I am well satisfied with what I did receive. Kind regards Barb
