Der går aldrig lang tid før man får sine vare.
Og det er i pæn stand. Ku godt være i bedre kvalitet men det ok til den pris
Delivery on time and good variety of products. Tracking on deliveries helps. Products are of good quality.
I have ordered multiple times with Lightinthebox. Initially it was a little difficult to reach customer service. However, once I reached them I was able to resolve my issue quickly with the last order and was satisfied with the service. Overall I like the products for the cheap prices.
Despite saying you can return for any reason within 7 days, that has not been my experience.
No return at all has been my experience.
Unfortunate.
True to size, beautiful color and very good material. I am really happy with this purchase.
My purchase with Light in the Box is one of the worst Internet shopping experiences that I have ever had, and I have been making purchases on the Internet for decades.
My terrible experience with this company started in June of 2023 when I ordered a pair of sandals from them. I diligently followed the instructions on their site to measure my feet. After a long delay, the sandals arrived and they were too large. Either the instructions on the web site were incorrect or the sandals were not made according to their prescribed sizing.
I immediately contacted the company about the problem. They were truly uncooperative and initially resisted any attempt to exchange the sandals. They offered me partial credits for future purchases instead. Finally, after a lot of back and forth, they agreed to make an exchange if I would return the sandals in their original packing with tracking delivery but not using DHL or FedEx. I also had to send a photo of my feet with a ruler indicating my foot size. They agreed that they would send me a pair one size smaller and refund the shipping costs to me upon their receipt of the sandals in the required condition.
I sent the sandals utilizing Canada post with tracking at a significant cost. Canada post shipping charges are significantly higher than DHL or FedEx. They arrived in Chinese customs awaiting pickup by Light in the Box. Finally after weeks of waiting, Light in the Box agreed to send me sandals a size smaller. BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE the shipping costs as they had previously agreed. Instead they offered me a credit for half of the shipping costs with a short expiry date, as if I would ever purchase anything from them again.
I received the new sandals and one shoe is slightly smaller than the other. I assume that they were rejects. I have never had problems with my feet sizes previously.
The treatment that I received from this company is a sharp contrast to companies like Amazon and other north american retailers. This process took approximately 5 months! Not only is Light in the Box uncooperative in making exchanges but they do not follow through on their promises. They definitely cannot be trusted.

I ordered high heels and boots. Both were exactly as described.
Easy to buy like lightinthebox a lot recommended it
My orders are always processed and delivered in a timely manner. The quality of the products I have ordered is very high, and I have never had the need to return anything. I find the selection wide and sometimes it is hard to decide what to buy. Keep up the good work!
Extremely a poor and unsatisfactory Return Policy…Despite paying for the "Gold" membership… when I needed to do a simple return, I had multiple back and forth with a rep that was EXTREMELY both confusing & convoluted… not to mention I had to pay OVER $50 out of pocket to do what should've been a simple return within the US.
And I don't Not wish to do business with Light In The Box ever again I'll be canceling my membership as soon as my refund is issued and will be advising my 8000 YouTube and Podcast followers not to use this service. When there are much better ones that offer free shipping AND free return's. (Amazon, TEMU, SHEIN)

Beautiful jacket, good deal. BUT...be prepared to receive advertising emails forever.
Jeg er meget tilfreds med, mine handler hos LightInTheBox, Jeg kunne ønske mig, at de mail jeg får fra dem er på dansk, så jeg ikke skal have hjælp, når jeg skal henvende mig med reklamationer. De få gange det er sket, har ellers være gode oplevelser.
The goods was high quality as expected however the deliver took long time, I like the price and the quality in general.
I've been very pleased with every aspect of my interaction with Light In The Box. Items are as described, and delivery has been prompt, and right to my door.
Good prices that no one can beat, good products in every categorie, top Services, from shipping to deliveries globally.
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.
