Garbage Products
February 15, 2023

Lightinthebox corporate knows that they sell garbage and make it intentionally difficult to return the items back. Most of us already overpaid for shipping in the first place and, when trying to return this junk, we have to pay exorbitant shipping costs again. So if you spent $100 on a few shirts, the return shipping costs will be another $100. You won't see that money back. I was hoping to get my funds back first and if they want, they can send me a prepaid label and I would be glad to send the shirts back to them.

The shirt was very poor quality.
February 15, 2023

That pic was after wearing it once and then hand washing it. That's just from my arms rubbing on my side in an afternoon.
Very poor. Shirt was pretty. But pretty useless really.

Delivery

So, if you order a lot it takes 2 months to get your stuff. But when you order just a couple thing you get it in about a month.

Product packs very well and I use some coupon codes to get a pretty low price. Shipping speed is not that fast but for that price, I can't complain more.

Total fraud!
February 14, 2023

Upset and disappointed at the poor quality of sewing of the blouse I ordered. Sizing wrong, design not as depicted in the picture. A real scam! Why are such sites allowed to operate such a disgracefully deceptive operation! DO NOT ORDER FROM LIGHTINTHEBOX!

Slow but good stuff
February 14, 2023

We are happy with both items. Excellent products, but it always takes a little while to get stuff from you. But I guess it is a long way from China to the USA. Beautiful top for my wife! Loves it!

Cute clothes!
February 15, 2023
Updated review

I bought 3 really cute women's tunic tops that I really like, and on these particular shirts, the measurements were correct. Their customer service is excellent. All representatives that I spoke with were extremely professional and pleasant, and they will work with you on any issues you have with your order.

Never buying from this company again
February 9, 2023
Previous review

This company is a typical China retailer. I bought 5 shirts and only halfway liked two of them. They were all made of cheap polyester. One of the items I bought was not the measurements shown on the site at all and another item I bought clearly showed the item in a cotton blend fabric, but as my pictures show, it was nothing like it looked on the website. Thank goodness all of the shirts were on sale! AND...if you want to actually return an item, you will be told this:
"If you want to return for a replacement for another size, you only need to cover the return postage, we'll pay for the reshipment shipping fee for you. For this solution, please check the size chart on the product page and reply to us here with which size you want, we'll send the return instruction to you later. For the return postage, our tailors/suppliers are willing to cover it if they made the product in the wrong size.So we need your cooperation to provide us with some photos to confirm the size issue, please reply to this ticket with the following information.
1. Please check this file first: http://litb.cc/l/tA1a. Then please provide us the measurements of the item you received.
2. Please take measurements of each component with a tape measure, photograph the results, and clearly show us the precise measurements.

If you don't want to go through the "size confirmation procedure" and want to solve the problem quickly, please have a look at the following options. You just need to do a "easy click" on the related link and our system will do all the follow-up. No need to reply to this ticket/email or the system will miss your choice. Quick Solution: No need to return, keep the item with a partial refund or a Reward. Just click on the option link you want, we'll send it to you in 1 business day.

A: 50% Reward (eg. If the item costs $100, you can get a $50 Reward, which is the same as a Coupon)
B: 30 % Refund (eg. If item costs $100, you can get a $30 Refund)
Or
C: Return the item back for a refund of item(s) price at a cost for return shipping. We will send you the return address in this ticket in 1 working day.
Note for return: We're sorry that we do not provide return label/slip service, you may send the order to our Asia warehouse via the cheapest tracking service in the post office. The postage might cost $10-$40 and it takes 2-4 weeks for delivery according to customers' feedback. To save your cost, we'll send you a reward that values 50% of the return postage, which you can use on the next order."
Considering my items only totaled 3 at $7.99 each, it was ludicrous to go through the hassle. I mean...do the math!

Yea...I'll never buy from this company again.
