Disaster!
4-7 business days mentioned on the website!
Already 15 days and no sign of my order, can not track it as well! Customer service doesn't care at all, there is no customer service at all!
Just stay away
Absolutely a waste of time, ordered two items of the same size, one fit, the other was no where
Near, the ‘company' blamed me for
Not being normal and wanted my measurements so that their ‘tailors' could check- oh really, against what?. Return process is diabolical, you pay to send it back to China and maybe you might get a refund for the goods and postage but only if they decide it was faulty to start with, would not trust this Mickey Mouse company if you want to receive decent customer service.

Order shipped but not received. Customer service is useless. They just send a tracking number that says label created but not received.

I ordered 2 dresses from this company. My first experience after paying for expedite shipping is the package did not arrive. I found out after 3 weeks they had not shipped yet. They said they would take care of that which they did,
When the package arrived the dresses did not fit. When I contacted the company to return the dresses They claim it said in my order the dresses were custom made and could not be returned. That was not the case. Please be careful when ordering from this website! I have never had an issue returning items in the US.
Read all the small print very carefully, because as I said to them, if I had known the items could not be returned, I would not have ordered in the first place.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I regret to hear both dresses did not fit and you need to return them.
Please be noted both of your dresses are Made-To-Measure items. It means we asked our suppliers to tailor 2 NEW dresses for you specially, after the order was placed. This was why your order could not be shipped as soon as it was placed. We state this information on the product page. We feel sorry that you did not notice it before.

Do not be tempted to purchase from this company.
Their 'returns' system is the most complicated and un customer friendly system I have ever come across. They will do anything to stop repayment. You think it is resolved and payment is being made back to you, but no, they pay it into your Light in the Box account for you to spend again (HA HA HA) or for you to credit your own Card. Complicated. If there were 5 negative Stars I would award them.

Not standard size and cheap material. Don't waste your money. Difficult to return and cost to much money to return.
I ordered a dress from here for my friends quince and it says it has shipped but sadly this is the only update I have gotten for it. I tried to email but y'all haven't reached out to me. I been waiting patiently. And the update that I do have says This number can't be found at this moment. It's not available in the carrier's system yet. Please check back later. I don't understand.
After submitting my review to Sitejabber, Lightin The Box was quick to respond to me directly. They offered to give me a full refund and I didn't have to return the unacceptable merchandise. I still stand by my original review but am very happy that if a product is unacceptable, they will provide a full refund (althougth you may need to do a Sitejabber review to get it!)

But we are afraid that you got a misunderstanding about them. The shirts were not made of cotton, but made of fabric "Polyster". We clearly state the following information on the product pages:
【Fabric: Polyster】
However, we also feel sorry that the stitching and the colors did not meet your satisfaction either.

Items were 20 days late arriving and were dreadful! Cheap nasty material, no labelling so not legal in the UK and the suit jacket was actually hard! Material really crushed so didn't even try them on!
I was offered free returns but now they are ignoring my emails and I'm £450 out of pocket!

Waiting 2 months for a refund and still haven't received it. Tracked the return so know they have received it.
Dear Pamela, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We do really want to help you, but "4569705" is not a complete order number. Our complete order number should includes 8 digits. Could you please advise us your correct Order ID so we can help you resolve the problem in a timely manner?
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in advance.
Ordered a shirt for a party which did arrive but is about 4 sizes to small with no labels or tags and cheap materials, when raising the issue with customer service I have basically been told that sizes are based on Chinese sizes and that it would be uneconomical for me to return the item as I would have to pay the cost so give the item to a family member, and I can have a 10% refund on my MONEY. KEEP WELL AWAY

Its a THIEF!
Bad product quality. They can ship to customer crap clothes and you're forced to keep them as the return shipment to China is higher than the clothes price. Basically you receive a plastic bag and your have to keep it.
Customer service response:
However, based on our experience, the costs for return might be the same or half the price of your parcel, even by using the cheapest tracking service in the post office. So, to return to China may not be the most economical option.
Instead, we suggest keeping the item, give it to a friend/family member. Sometimes, a new order for the correct size may be more cost-effective than a return.
We would like to propose the following offers which may be more beneficial and practical than a return:
A) Keep the item and receive a reward of 20% of the product's value.
B) Keep the item with a refund of 10% of the product's value.

Better filters for clothes and more frequent (and specific) delivery notifications might be for full stars
I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I got my parcel very quickly and the items are exactly as I expected them to be.
Thank you!
Arrivati nel tempo stabilito ed il prodotto era conforme a quanto scritto
It took a while for certain things to get shipped but overall it went by very quickly. I got a notice that it would be delivered that day and it did which is great. Everything is as said and the quality is good. One of my sweaters the picture is starting to fade tho which is sad.
I didn't like the product received so much and after several attempts with the supervisor, I was fairly reimbursed. This was honest

Bij elke bestelling betaal je iets om extra kosten te dekken
Onder anderen inklaring
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.
