Received orders in good condition. I'm very pleased with the fit and fabric. My only complaint is the expensive shipping cost.

Alright overall
September 26, 2023

Other than most clothes coming in a bit smaller than expected and being offered a 10% reward NOT to send them back things have been alright I suppose.

Can't get enough of their products
September 26, 2023

I have been ordering clothes from this site since the beginning of summer and now continuing into fall. Love everything I've ordered. The pricing allows me to order more items than I could buying them local or from some other sites I've seen. Try it out!

Good pricing
September 26, 2023

I like most the items I've bought so far, but the shipping cost is what has me bothered.
TEMU has free shipping and the prices are the same.

First, it is very difficult to return items.
Second, the fit is totally unrelated to posted dimensions. My bust is 36". The posted dimension for Large is 41 3/4". But the vest does not reach all the way around me.
Also, posted colors are not very accurate.

Ordered a blouse from this company. I was leery based on the price. Beautiful blouse for the price. Looked at Trustpilot and here at Sitejabber and based on reviews, thought it OK to roll the dice. Within a day of ordering, there was a fraudulent charge on our credit card. Could have been a coincidence, but had to cancel that card and get a new one, changing the information on all accounts associated with the former card. The blouse arrived a few weeks after ordering it, and instead of the gauzy, organic-looking fabric with pearlescent buttons shown the online photo, the blouse I received was a shiny polyester, lighter in color with bright, solid white, cheap-looking buttons. In trying to get permission from the company for a return and refund, I was told I could keep the item for a 50% of purchase price coupon towards another item or keep the item with a 30% refund. If I wanted to return for a full refund of the purchase price, I was told I would have to pay for shipping to Asia which would exceed the purchase price and that it would take 30 days for that to occur. First photo is of the online photo. Second is what I received. Ugly old-lady blouse. Would never wear even as an old lady!

The worse online shopping
September 25, 2023

I received the cell phone holder in at least 30 small pieces without any instructions on how to put it together. I also order iPhone charger and received something else. It was so difficult to communicate with them regarding the mistake, and waisted som much time doing so without any results. I will never buy anything from them again.

Lured in by the excellent prices, I accumulated $116.00+ worth of merch in my cart. When I logged into PayPal, it showed a total of $198 and some change. Upon review of the order, I saw USPS shipping charges of $70.00+. I changed it to DHL, which was still a lot, but less than USPS, and also deleted the $4.99 shipping insurance. Even with those changes, I could not get their total to match my math. It was probably still a good deal, but the subterfuge made me angry, so I bought nothing. I don't trust companies that assume customers are stupid and won't pay attention to details.

Love it!
September 24, 2023

I was able to find what I needed, the items arrived well before my event. I should have bought a large instead of an extra large. I was complimented on my outfit.

The Worst Choice Ever
September 22, 2023

The dress I bought was horrible. It was such a heavy material and the picture of it was deceiving. The broach was not even sewn on correctly.

Fast nur gute Erfahrungen
September 22, 2023

Ich habe bereits viele erstaunliche, schöne Dinge bei Light in the Box gekauft. Besonders bei Kleidung in Übergrößen für meinen Mann fand ich tolle Sachen, die ich in Deutschland nicht bekomme. Nur die Damenmode hat bisher fast jedes Mal qualitativ enttäuscht. Selten sah der erhaltene Artikel tatsächlich so aus wie auf den Fotos, so dass ich von weiteren Käufen, was Mode für mich betrifft, absehen werde. Alles andere werde ich gerne weiter wie bisher bei Light in the Box kaufen, denn in Auswahl und Preisen sind sie kaum zu schlagen! Top!

Satisfied with purchase
September 22, 2023

I was notified that the purchase would be delayed and if I would like to cancel or wait for my item. I chose to wait and recieved it promptly with no problems. To be given the option to instead of just canceling my order was great. Very pleased with how light in the box kept me in the loop.
