Jinak ale zkušenosti Ok bylo li třeba vždy se problém vyřeší
I use light in the box really often, because I can find nice pieces of clothes with low prices. True, shipping can take some time but it's worth waiting.
Produtos de boa qualidade, mas insatisfação com o tempo de entrega.
Very showy products, made of good material.
Comfortable to wear.
The customer service is informed about everything, politely and culturally.
Site très sérieux avec un shipping dans les délais et la plupart du temps plus rapide que prévu.

Soddisfatto, oltre al prodotto anche per l'efficienza immediata da parte di operatori x mail di tracciabilità pacco.

Products vs Price: I have ordered plenty of products via Light in the Box. At first, I was a bit confused because of the cheap price but, at the end, I was shocked that the quality is so good. The products were exactly what were described on the ads.
Customer service: I have been so happy that the customer service always shows willingness to give me the best solution for my problem and reply in relatively fast speed (with in a day). However, I would love to receice answer faster like contacting via phone but LITB has not developed the service yet. Hopefully, you will have it in the near future.
I love the discount and reward system. I am happy that I received great reward everytime I ordered.
So far, I have had 8 orders at LITB within 2 months. And all of the purchases made me so happy except one thing. It is the delivery time. It was estimated about 8-10 days. However, I never received my order before the 20th day after I ordered. :( It takes too long til I get my things!
Very positive experience on buying the stp lamp for my Honda. Price very good, delivery to Europe wirhin 10 days. Lamp fits well.:-)
We have ordered 2 dresses and 3 pair of shoes. The ordered items arrived about 2 weeks after ordering.
The shoes are so beautyful and excellent material. Our little girl loves them and don't want to take them off anymore. The 2 dresses are also very beautyful, good material, nice colours and good workmanship. We buy again
Die Qualität ist super keine Fehler und passt super so wie man die Groesse angibt so wird auch geliefert
In September of 2020, I ordered 2 couch covers, both brown. I received a BLUE one and a brown cover. I started the return process on 11/29/20. If you want to return something, you have to pay for shipping it back, with no guarantee that the Chinese postal system won't open your box and make the shipping label unreadable. They stated that once the item arrived in their warehouse they would process the exchange. I had recorded 2 months of tracking my packaged return from San Francisco, to Japan, to Bejing, back to China, and there it sat. I got the package returned to me in April of 2021. The shipping label had been ripped, the box had been opened, and my carefully packed box that I placed in another box was shredded. Now, granted, this part isn't Light In The Box fault, however, it is a part of the whole "customer experience". I should have received a refund for the part of the order that was wrong to begin with. They told me "Instead of a return, may we suggest you keep the item, to give it to a friend/family member or resell it at your local second-hand marketplace? We can provide the following solutions which are more beneficial and convenient for you than the return and it avoids you the return hassle". I wanted a brown cover, LIKE I ORDERED in the first place. I didn't want a store credit, because frankly, i am never shopping there again, and i don't suggest anyone else do the same. I paid $43.00 in shipping, this was never refunded either, because they never got the package. I feel their return policies are garbage. I followed their rules, even "returned" the item within 7 days. It's been 7 months, and I'm still mad enough to write this.
ETA: Light In the box responded very quickly to this complaint. I believe we have reached a mutual arrangement where I can state I am satisfied. Thank you, Rebecca for reaching out.
The most awful shopping experience to date. I ordered a pair of cargo shorts in good faith. They took a month to arrive and came up as a tight fit. When I tried to return the item they explained that they come straight form the factory in China and are based on Chinese sizes. What has that got to do with sizes? A 34" waist in the UK doesn't change in China! The returns policy is to give them to a friend or relative due to the return costs not being viable.
I will not use this company again and I highly recommend any readers to stay clear.
Dear Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. I am very sorry that your order wasn't satisfactory and will try my absolute best helping you solve this.
The problems you've raised will be considered as very grave. I saw that you've ordered several items. Are you unsatisfied with all the items? Can you please let me know which of those you wish to return? The package left our warehouse on the 16th of July, was available for collection merely 8 days later. According to Royal Mail it waited another 4 days to be picked up. In addition, a return ticket can be requested with just a few mouse clicks from within your account. There aren't any tickets to be found under your account. You would have received a confirmation and reply within 24h from a customer service representative to help you handle this.
We have sent you an email (ticket #24129915) to help you resolve this problem. I stand by that we can help you obtain a refund without too much effort!
Awaiting your details,
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team
I have a wedding too go to on August 8th. I found a beautiful dress too wear. I ordered the wrong size. So I still had time too order the right size. They sent the same size again. Then sent me the right size. When I tried too return my two dresses I was told no that won't give me a refund. Then they told me 9.00 for a 45.00 dress and two of them. I will never order here again. Ever. Im reporting them to the BBB. If they do this too all thier customers they have a monopoly going on. I never complain. They have ruined me wearing that dress too the wedding. Please beware.
Dear Lori, we regret to hear about your problem. Could you please advise us your Order Number, so we can investigate your case further? Please be advised "243874433330" is not a valid order number.
We will then try to find a better solution for you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in advance.
The garment was a good price and just what I needed with lots of pockets but although it said it was 4XL (what I ordered) in fact it was several sizes smaller (I measured it as just an XL, i. E. 4 sizes smaller so not even close). After much tussle with the vendor, I complained to paypal who refunded my money.
Slow and wrong size delivered (garment size label inaccurate - by 4 sizes). Refund process is disgusting - designed to wear you out with more and more requirements to 'prove' the complaint. 5 photos and 3 messages from me later (mostly repeating the first message), I am still waiting for my refund. Will resort to credit card for repayment next.
Happy with the product and price, but delivery was foresee to be 6/12 days, it was 1 month instead.
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.
