Terrible
February 11, 2014

Terrible - I ordered a dress that was supposed to be ready to wear (i. E. not made to measure). Eventually they came back and said it would be dispatched 1 month after I had paid - too late for my event. When I tried to cancel they claimed that all there dresses were made on demand and charged me 50% of the total bill to to cancel. Don't trust them with your money.

One of the best online shops which is providing products on discounted price and also giving lots of option to choose from, delivery was very fast and free. I will buy more products from them in the future, they are a great company!

I paid for a men's cycling top, payment was via PayPal. They wrote to me weeks later to see the product was finally being shipped, it is now a month after that, no sign of it. And no one at the company seems to be able or willing to respond to me. This is a scam. And what's worse, is they keep advertising on Instagram which is where I saw the products in the first place. I'm sure other people are going to lose out too.

Great boots!
April 9, 2024

Although hard to get the size right as I have large calf's so usually need a size bigger for the side zippers. Love the mixture of colours on the boots and get lots of compliments on them. Love strolling through your online site as you can't get these colourful boots in the stores and the prices are reasonable,

Ordered yoga socks
November 21, 2016

I ordered three pairs of yoga socks, one bright pink pair finally arrived. The two black pairs I ordered have not. Written to company several times with no response. Now about 5/6 weeks. Do not recommend this company at all.

Dec 10,2016

The company has contacted me to rectify this order. They were out of stock and offered me the choice of another product or a refund. I was happy with the end result.

Thank You

I cannot recommend Light in the Box at all.

Their delivery times are the longest I have experienced for any online retailer: 20 working days (though promised between 10 and 20). When product arrived, it was not as advertised.

Two months after receiving the order, my bank tells me an online retailer has compromised my details. As Light In The Box is one of only three online retailers I have shopped from in the last several months, I asked their customer service team to remove my details as a precaution. I asked this of them nearly three weeks ago and they have yet to do so.

Their customer service is extremely slow to respond and impolite. I will certainly not be using this retailer ever again.

It delivers pretty quick and usually had quality items but the one I got. Well. The gem fell off...
Updating review... they returned my money quickly and told me to keep it. Not to shabby, I will still shop on this website though.

Ordered 2 shirts for myself and 2 for gifts as they looked great on the site. Beware, pictures can be misleading on quality and sizing. I received today and would send back if shipping wasn't so incredibly high! Am extremely disappointed that while I thought they would be decent quality, they are made out of very thin material that I believe will last till the first wash only! Would never buy from here again!

Don't recommend - poor quality/can't return
April 12, 2022

I bought 3 dresses. All very poor quality - however they didn't cost a lot. I am trying to return them and it's very difficult. I have not yet been successful. They just keep replying with the same response that I can either take a 30% credit for a future order or a 15% refund. I just want to send the dresses back for a full refund...

Fantastic service and deals
December 26, 2023

Very easy to order, all discounts apply, everything fit and was precisely as described. The bathing suits fit perfectly and the abdominal sweat tee shirt works phenomenally. All the Christmas decorations are as exactly pictured in advertisements. I am more than satisfied and I think this is my third order. Every thing fits shirts, shoes, and shorts. I'm going to keep ordering because this company is so reliable and the prostate top notch.

Great website, you can find anything you need, from small treats to gorgeous dresses.
Prices are really competitive, shipping is free, and there are tons of goods to choose from.
The customer service is kind and they usually answer questions within a day.
I highly recommend LightInTheBox.

Sent me the wrong item. Not only that but the item was a shoddy, wrinkled badly-made baggy t-shirt that looked like it had just been picked up off the floor and was worth no
More than 20 pence. When I requested a refund (having sent photos TWICE as requested) they told me it had been sent from a third party seller so I'd have to pay the postage of $10-40! An utter con. Avoid these crooks like the plague!

I ordered several dresses. I didn't like them as they did not look good on me. I've been trying to return them for three months. I was given an address and posted them off at my expense. DPD keep emailing me that the address and phone number is wrong.
No one from lightinthebox is responding to any of my emails.
I am still waiting for a refund of £350!

It was my first order at this site, and I'm overall happy with it. I learned that when buying clothes it is completely necessary to check the size equivalence chart to compare it with the American standard size, that we are more familiar with. The delivery took a little longer than expected -almost five weeks- but I will certainly continue shopping at light in the Box. Great service! Thanks

Iitems change and/or withdraw impossibles!
July 4, 2021

My dissatisfaction, not only with you, but with any seller who adopts the same logistics (stores for exchange items and/ or withdrawal far and not specified in clear) lies in the fact that orders (even those with "free shipping") are shipped from collection points and / or warehouses around the world so as to shorten the delivery time (with convenient shipping costs, for the seller); while the return, for exchange and/ or withdrawal, can only take place in the only main store of each of you!
This, in fact, forces consumers to desist from their own right and avoids logging complications. In addition to not constituting, in any case, an economic loss for you.
From an ethical point of view, however, it is so unfair as to produce the no longer turn to you for other purchases.
The big e-commerce sites charge slightly higher prices; but, at least, they allow you to change an article and / or withdraw from a purchase much more easily than sites like yours!
Best regards.

I've been shopping on this website for months now, and I haven't had any problems so far. They've got a super caring staff, and whenever I have a doubt or a complaint about a product, they get in touch as fast as they can, offering help and/or a refund. I've never seen a company like this. I'd definitely come back to buy more items and I highly recommend it!

Customer Service
December 14, 2022

Received my order of 4 3XL tee shirts. The shirts were labeled 3XL but were large or maybe XL at best. Plus were not as pictured on order site. ABSOLUTELY no way to contact this company's customer service department, I guess because they don't have one. Tried to follow their app to obtain a return shipping label which was not possible to do. LightintheBox doesn't deserve even a half star. I have read a number of other reviews with the same experience. Steer away from doing business with this company.

Sizing is confusing
January 2, 2024

I have purchased from Light in The Box for a number of years. I choose carefully and have been most satisfied with the products. The sizing is still very confusing. If I choose US size, it does not work with the measurements. Some things come too big, others too small. But, I keep trying. Shipments are made quickly. Returns are more complicated.
