I purchased a 2X dress and it is more like about a size 14. I could not believe how wrongly midsized this was. And not possibility of return? What kind of an online store works this way? I have sold online for years and treat my customers with the utmost respect and customer service.

I purchased a dress a larger size than i would buy at the store based on there chart. When I received the dress it is the size of a child that maybe 8 years old. I'm only 4'11' tall and average at 100lbs. So I did a return slip and they said it has to be sent to china because of the pandemic they were forced to close there where houses in the U.S. So to receive a refund on the $40 dress it will cost my $60 to return to china with tracking and using there carrier. There customer service rep was horrible and sent a letter saying basically keep it and they will give me a 10% refund on my card. What a scam! Buyer beware of the return policy and what it will cost if you have to return anything.

Changing from one star to three stars since they refunded me after reading my review here.
Be aware:
The product I received did not match the picture at all on the website.
They were initially not willing to give the full refund and no more answer from customer (email), no number to call. After reading my review here, they refunded me.

I believe it is a scam company. Quality of product is very poor. Contacted them and they said cost of return to high and I was advised to keep the product. What for? I can't use it. I will never ever buy from them again.

Complete and utter garbage. Don't waste your money. If you want to return you have to pay shipping to China which is usually far more than the garbage is worth. VERY disappointed.

I ordered a dress for my daughter's ice competition. They failed to tell me it was out of stock. I ordered the dress March 6th. Processing is supposed to take only 5-7 days at the most. I waited over two weeks and kept messaging them and of course it's an automated message. Customer service is absolutely horrific. My daughter is going to be traumatized when she finds out she doesn't have a dress for this competition season. If I knew they were out of stock I would have ordered from a different company. They never once said they were out of stock and I messaged them back and fourth over 10 times. I'm pretty upset. Please for the elove of God, never, EVER, EVER order from this POS company. Don't make the same mistake I did. Now we have to scramble in hopes to find a dress for my daughter in less than a month.

Poor quality expensive products, terrible return policy. You have to pay expensive international shipping to return items to China or they will only give you 10% refund or 20% coupon to use for buying other things which is nothing for the high price they charge for the products. I will never buy from them again. When they first started the pricing was good and quality of products were much better. Now you pay high price for bad products.

I was very happy to get my parcel, as a present from my husband. We were away for the weekend when it was first delivered, a bit too late on Friday, but I was very pleased to get it the following week. The items were exactly what I ordered. Thanks
I liked the t-shirts, the only one I disliked was the blouse, the qualty is not so good.
It took too long from the shopping to the delivery.
Do not buy from this company. I ordered a dress for a wedding. The dress got to my house one day before the wedding. No time for cleaning or steaming. The shoulders were droopy. It was a teal green instead of a wheatgrass green. I would have looked like a clown in that color. The tags are still on the dress. I ordered a standard size 8. When asked if I could return for a refund, they said it was a "tailored" dress and they could not accept it back. Since when is a size 8 tailored?
There is no one person to speak with - all communication is done through chat and email. Very frustrating.
Dear customer
This is Bloo, supervisor of customer service. I noticed that you are not satisfied because you need to return the item because it does not meet your expectation.
Would you please provide me your order number and email? I will help you.

The item I bought took too long + I ordered a medium size and it's as an extra large. Too difficult for me to go out to a post office and pay to get it back to China.

Sono molto soddisfatta di LightInTheBox. Il negozio offre molti prodotti diversi ed economici, alcuni dei quali davvero belli e creativi. La merce viene spedita anche in tempi relativamente brevi.
Ho avuto modo di acquistare diversi capi di abbigliamento e sono rimasta contenta arrivano nei giusti tempi e si presentano come in foto le misure corrispondono, direi che sono soddisfatta lo consiglio e sicuramente io continuerò ad acquistare
Nagyon örülök amiket kaptam. Megvagyok elégedve a termékkel és a szállitással.
Rasche Lieferung gute preise wie immer bin ich zufrieden werde gerne wieder etwas bestellen
Very nice product and fast delivery. I will buy again for sure.
Articles with perfect fit, received in time and in perfect condition. What to expect more?
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.
