We monitor reviews for authenticity
I needed to return shirt. I ordered a small and it was too big. The return process was horrible. They only offered a partial refund. To send it back was going to be more than purchase.They would not help with shipping. They gave me $7 and I paid 38 total. Buyers beware, don't order from this company.
On the upside, I have now been reimbursed by Megha, so that is helpful. My reviews still are not on their site, though, so just be aware that even if an item has a 5 star rating, chances are good that any negative reviews have been removed by the business.
I ordered two tops from Light in the Box online, and both were very poor quality. One is so bad that the fabric is actually stamped with 3 large black B's in ink (2 in the front, one in the back), it's too big, and the fabric feels like the material they make parachutes out of. With that damage, I cannot even give this away. The other came with a modified collar of poor quality that they effectively have blurred on their website images so that you cannot see it. While the quality was poor on that one as well, I will try to give it to one of my neighbour's kids, but I certainly would not wear it. I left a review on their site, but as noted by someone else, they appear to remove any reviews that are not at least 3 stars, so mine is not there. I will reconsider my review if they provide a complete refund in a timely manner.
De bestelling laat lang op zich wachten, ondertussen worden er items geannuleerd en terugbetaald door het bedrijf wegens niet beschikbaar. Zeer hoge verzendkosten. Snelle reply van klantendienst.
They don't take returns! They lie in the product description. They said 100% cotton and it was 100% something else. They will not give me refund unless I return the merch back to Singapore at my own cost. Deplorable.

Product was not as pictured, the fabric was poor quality. Trying to return the product was a nightmare. With each email from me, I received an email offering a discount for a future purchase. After stating over and over that I wanted a refund, I was told that there is NO Return Label and it was up to me to return the product which would cost $10-$40. Here is part of the company's email. We're sorry that you want to return the product. Sorry that we don't have the return label, please return it to our Asia warehouse by the cheapest tracking service in the post office. Usually, it costs $10-$40, and it takes 2-4 weeks for delivery. The refund will be issued once we receive it and pass the quality check. Buyer beware.

La tienda tiene artículos muy importantes que no podrás encontrar en las tiendas físicas de tu ciudad. Los precios son increíblemente competitivos. El único problema es el estar tan lejos de los centros de distribución. Tenerife es un destino muy complicado para el comercio electrónico. Normalmente el tiempo de espera es de 20 días. Aún así vale la pena.
I have purchased three dresses, two shirts, and some blouses from Light in The Box. I have been very pleased with the clothing plus the service. Even though I have to wait a while for shipping, the items are worth the wait. I high recommend this company.
This is a scam company they took my money I order 2 items they only sent one and told me the address was wrong, so this is why I didn't the second. Is because the address was wrong. Question is why did receive the pants and not the shirt. It's the same address then they tried to act like it was my fault and only send me half my money back 33$ They will take your money.

Good deals, true to size. I brought 3 pairs of sandals all fit perfectly. Good packaging and came in short time frame. Such a great selection.
Amei as minhas compras! Chegaram rapido para mim. Comprei duas correntes e a qualidade é excelente! Provavelmente comprarei novamente!
Recomendo!
Loved my purchases! They arrived quickly for me. I bought two chains and the quality is excellent! Will probably buy again! I recommend!
I just received my new shorts and the pocket is ripped from top to bottom
$#*!ty Quality! 100%
Never again will I buy from them!
And the worst part is... there is no number for customer service. You have to download the app
This company is garbage
Do not order from them!
Products do have flaws. I understand that...but if you can't talk to a representative then what kind of company is it!

Det er sjovt og udfordrende (for økonomien) at surfe rundt i LightInTheBox.
Vi vil alle finde ting vi lige står og mangler og kan bruge til noget..
The dress I ordered was described as linen - it was gauze! Ugly & so cheap I would'nt wear it a a nighty! The reurn is so complicated that I refuse to spend another cent on mailing back to China! Why can't I return it to the NJ address from where it came? This is a deplorable company. Do not buy a thing from them.

Rendszeres vásárlója vagyok az oldalnak. Sokszor előfordul, hogy egy-egy termékkel probléma van de mindig sikerült ezt a megoldani az ügyfélszolgálat segítőkészségével. Többször lehetne leárazás és az ide érkezés is nagyon lassú.
Comprei um fone, aliás maravilhoso pena que veio com um fone apenas pegando,mas a entrega foi rápido e ambos atenciosos me enviando informações de onde o aperelho estava.
Bit slow on delivery and getting product after ordered. But so far pleased with purchase
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.
