Zero stars really
March 18, 2022

Not a safe place to shop! They are one of those sites that has a lot to offer, but it's of really poor quality. From personal experience they sent the wrong sized item & then would not exchange it. After weeks of emails & photos of the item the only resolution they offered was A small percentage of rewards to go towards another purchase. I highly suggest you shop elsewhere.

I was going to order solar lights from this website, but I've never seen such poor, unsatisfied reviews. I feel bad for all the customers who gave this company a chance. Sadly most of the decent reviews are about refunds and returns. I think I'll pass.

Sizes and Returns
March 17, 2022

Sizes are not even close to accurate. Buy 2 sizes up. Returns are impossible. "Must be returned to China" with a LONG wait for credit (when item was clearly shipped out of New York).

Don't order from them
March 17, 2022

Needed to return a dress that looked nothing like what I ordered. Gave me three options. Keep and they would give me a 20% reward. Keep and they would refund 10%. Last, return to China which would cost more than dress since they had closed their distribution center in US. Rip off.

Ho acquistato 3 articoli e sono rimasta soddisfatta soltanto su 1. I sandali sono carini ma troppo grandi. Il vestito è risultato molto scarso. Niente a che vedere con la foto: certo il prezzo molto basso non lasciava intendere che fosse di alta qualità ma ho voluto provare. Il tankini è carino e di taglia corretta. Devo dire che in precedenza avevo acquistato un abito su misura e a parte un malinteso sul colore la stoffa e la fattura sono molto curati.

Poor product
March 16, 2022

The sizing is not based on US standards. The colored buttons bleed onto the fabric around the button hole. I was offered 10% refund. To return it will be very expensive. It has to go to China! Don't bother with anything this company sells!

Awful and a total scam.
March 16, 2022

I am so disappointed with every item I ordered. Please people don't buy things from this site, it is at your own risk if you do. The quality of every item I bought including trainer is the lowest of quality. What you see is not what you will get. This is so heartbreaking as I ordered five items and not even one is useable. Their size guide also is wrong, you end up with over size clothes. So painful for the amount of money spend.
Stay away please please please.

Schön bunter Hoody
March 16, 2022

Schönes Teil, hat nicht jeder, mal etwas besonderes. Empfehle ich auf jeden fall weiter. Auch das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt. Werde auf jeden Fall wieder bei LightInThe Box bestellen, wenn ich was schönes sehe, habe auch an Freunde und Bekannte weiter empfohlen.

Quality costumes
March 16, 2022

I ordered 2 Harry Potter robes and a unicorn princess dress as costumes for my grandchildren. The items were a much higher quality than I expected and came in a reasonable amount of time.
