Very good jacket. Brilliant colours. As to describe in the web. Very confortable and warm. Standard delivery time. Recommended!
Satisfait de mon achat mais je trouve que les semelles ne sont pas assez epaisses
The item was exactly as described, the material good, the pants looks good, the only disturbing is the measures are not the same, size 38 is not the same at the 2 pants
Sowohl die Qualität wie auch die Verarbeitung der bestellten waren war in Ordnung Lieferung ebenfalls, bei Bedarf immer wieder gerne.
Ik bestel het meeste Truien en Tshirts.
Prachtige prints. En blijven mooi na vele malen wassen.
Ook de wandkleden zijn heel mooi.
Voor elk seizoen wel wat. TOP.
Buenas tardes, el paquete llego en tiempo y forma pero lo que no sabía es dónde llegó; quién, aquí en España me lo traía a casa porque en ningún momento la agencia de transportes que supuestamente debería haberme entregado el paquete se puso en contacto conmigo. Tuve que indagar hasta que la propia compañía, light in the box, me dijo cuál era la agencia, porque ésta no aparece en el historial de seguimiento del paquete y, entonces me pude poner en contacto con la agencia de transporte, que supuestamente decía que me habían llamado dos veces, lo cual no es cierto ya que en mi teléfono yo no tengo ninguna llamada perdida, tampoco me enviaron ningún SMS, ni ningún correo electrónico cómo hacen otras compañías de transporte. Al final me pude poner en contacto con ellos y yo misma fui a recoger el paquete a un pueblo que está a unos cuantos kilómetros del mío.
Fast and cheap, good quality products!
I've bought lenovo bluetooth earplugs. Seemed too cheap to be true but it"s safe! Buy confident
Placed a order on the 13th of October with a 5-9 day shipping time. Payment and order processed on the 13th, but did not get packaged to ship until 4 am on the 22nd of October. Completely ruined my plans and experience. All my co-workers, friends, and family agree we will never order from them again.
Total scammers. Would not provide return address for more than a month. It is October. This has been going on since July. $#*!ty product was sent back and they keep playing games. DO NOT BUY
Hi AjD,
Thank you for leaving a review for our store. Please accept our apologies for having faced this very unhappy shopping experience.
I was informed by our financial department, that following a dispute your credit card provider made a chargeback and reversed the transaction. By now the full amount should already been received. Can you please verify your last month's bank statements? It isn't necessary to return the package back, since you were already reimburse.
We have sent you an email (ticket #24605282) with further details. Should you have any questions or doubts, then we'd like to hear from you.
Happy to be at your service!

Just got dress yesterday it does not fit. It was the largest size they had to offer. I ask for ticket within 20 minutes of receiving the dress. So I could not exchange and they WILL NOT refund my money! I am very upset and will not recommend this site to anyone
Hi Laura,
Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.
The majority of items can be returned, except for 'Made-To-Measure' items such as the dress. As told by my colleague told we can't accept it back, as we don't keep stock for these products. Be aware this dress was made specially for you, it took a tailor 12 days to make it from scratch. Also the standard sizes need to be made exclusively on demand. There is also a 'Made-To-Measure' logo on this item's webpage, directly under the 'add to cart button' to indicate this.
We have send you an email (ticket #24598122) to further handle this problem.
With kind regards,
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team
I just contacted Lightinthebox regarding a dress I ordered on their website. The positive is that the item shipped relatively quickly, the problem is that I ordered a small and the dress swallowed me whole. The waste on this item is about 40", that is not a small! This was like getting an XL. The tag inside says small, so I know I got the right size. Unfortunately, when I reached out to customer service they gave me a choice to 'return' for 10% of the value, a 20% credit, or pay to return to China, which will cost more than the dress itself... not very good options. I don't mind eating the shipping, but just is unfortunate to not be able to return an item. Especially when the sizing was terrible.
I want to note that I did receive a refund, which I appreciate. However, I still would not order from this company again. Sizing was way off, and I can't make returns in the future. I do want to recognize that the company did at least try to make it right... going form 2 stars to 3.
Hi Angela,
Thank you for writing this review and reaching out to us.
I am sorry that you feel been let down by our company. We firmly believe returning an item should be easy. Allow me to mention that we sell our clothing with their exact measurements indicated in both centimeters and inches. This is the reason why we usually won't consider a sizing issue as a quality problem. Given the dress value wasn't high, my colleague tried persuading you keeping the product with a small discount. I am sorry if you found this to be inappropriate, while in fact this was well-meant. This allows you to reevaluate which options are most beneficial. At the same time, I can understand you are not eager having to bear financial loss on this. On another note you should be able to send back a parcel from the US to China for the amount of 14.25$ (First-Class Package International Service). The list with the tariffs can be found on the link below:

I'm happy with these tweezers as they make feeding my tarantulas safer (for all of us) and it's easier to grab hold of prey items without turning them to pre-killed mush. Just a tiny bit less sturdy than expected, but hey, they do their intended job just fine.
When the lamps arrived they were great! Right size so they fitted perfect.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Exta-Qualität Und ich werde dich gerne wieder ausbügeln.
Fast shipment, excellent quality. Woul definitely recommend to anyone
Purtroppo troppo grandi anche se belli un tipo un po' troppo corto
Am always happy of the items I ordered, because it always looks exactly the way it is in the picture
I used it to dress a bench, it's original and the colors are very beautiful.
I had an amazing experience shopping at LightInTheBox. I'm happy and I recommend this store.
Thanks

Hi Lance,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are aware of the importance of your order. Unfortunately the ordered product reached the warehouse a few days later than planned. Rest assured we'll take full responsibility for this problem. But I must point out this particular product came from an external supplier, hence we advertised it with a processing time of 2-5 businesses days. I invite you to verify on the website, directly under the product's 'add to cart' button:
----------------------
Processing Time: 2-5 business days
Shipping Time: Expedited Express 5-9 business days

----------------------
The review didn't mention on what day the party takes place, but we sincerely hope it could reach you in time. In case the order will be too late, then you may refuse the parcel upon delivery. We will process your refund once you were able to do this. You can follow the progress of your package on the link below:
