The pictures on the website are rarely representative of the items you actually receive. I've ordered 5 dresses from this website and only 1 looks like the picture description really. The others are bad rip offs. I'm currently trying to get a refund for a particularly bad item that was quite expensive. My advice would be to use a more reputable provider. Don't waste your money on this website.

While the products are nice, the shipping costs double the prices by the time you're order is on it's way. Not recommended. I could have purchases the exact same items straight from Amazon for the price of the items with very little shipping. I will never buy from them again. The website does not have a contact email address and the tracking number is a phone number. I paid over $50 for shipping from the web store and the rest was charged while my order was in transit. A total of $145. For shipping and customs through DHL. That's just about double the price of my order. I can't help feeling that I got fooled. It won't happen again.

I noticed a missing part on my order and advised them a month ago. They still continue to ask me to wait 2-3 days.
They don't follow-up. They just wait your next message.
Totally unreliable and unprofessional.
The only solution they offered me during the month is to return the product (a 3D printer kit costing $245) at my own expense even worst, they don't reimburse the initial delivery fee which is more than $100!
So they want me to accept to pay $200 for nothing. And reading other reviews I could even not been reimbursed of $245, costing me $445.

It is almost impossible to return products to this company, which is why they make it so difficult. I will never order from them again and I suggest others beware of their misinformation about return policy. You have to pay for shipping to China. (also product was cheap and not made well at all).

LightInTheBox attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

I ordered a Xmas sweater and got one which didn't look like the picture! Asked to be paid back and they proposed half the price! Not a joke! I didn't give up and finally got a positive answer from Ana who promised by bank account would be credited with the total amount… and it is! So don't give up and send a message on FB if you can't find any contact, then you'll get an answer.
Once more, thank you Ana!

I ordered a gift for Christmas on 11/28, have yet to receive it and no tracking information. There is no customer service to call, all you can do it submit a ticket which is not a helpful resolution method for customers. After reading these reviews I am deeply regretting purchasing from the company. I have never written a review before but felt it my duty to warn other consumers. Stick with a customer friendly company like Amazon. I wish I had.

Difficult to Recommend
December 2, 2023

The workmanship and fabric quality of the clothing leaves much to be desired. I've ordered at least six shirts from them and will definitely not be ordering any more. Most of the clothing pictures seem to be computer generated because the actual products I received looked very different from what is shown on the website (which look very nice.) Pattern matching between parts of a shirt, for example, as shown in the pictures is poorly executed on actual products. Even the apparent texture of the fabric in the pictures is misleading.
They also select only the favorable reviews to publish - with one or two average ones to give the impression they publish all reviews. Out of the five or six product reviews I have written they published only one which I gave four stars. All other two and three star reviews remain unpublished. I complained about this to them but got nowhere.

Worst Company Ever!
June 27, 2023

The return process of this company is the most convoluted, non-intuitive, expensive, time consuming unforgiving policy I have ever encountered. If you like solving cryptic puzzles designed by Einstein, you might enjoy traversing this return process. It is like a never ending treasure hunt. I will never shop at this business again!

I ordered a wedding dress from Lightinthebox, the dress is exactly as the photos. It is beautiful and fit perfectly, I was afraid of buying my dress in internet because there are always bad comments about quality or design, and I actually post a comment before about that but I would say it is great value for money. The fabric is very nice, handmade and every detailed as in the photo.
When I bought the dress I was worry it wont be here on time, and it takes long because is custom made that is why you need to be aware of how long it takes for them to make it and posted, it was delay two days from what they told me but generally it was very accurate, I am very happy with this purchase
I absolutely recommend lightinthebox for wedding dresses, excellent design and quality for the price.

Lovely dresses at reasonable prices
June 14, 2022

I found this site after looking for ages online for dresses that fit my criteria long free flowing and stylish. I found lots on this site so ordered two to see what they were like. They arrived here in Portugal just over 2 weeks later. I tried the first one and it fit perfect and the fabric is lovely too so I tried the second and that was just as nice too so I was very pleased. I wore one at a family get together and now three of my relatives have ordered too. They really are gorgeous dresses cannot fault them.

Not useable!
May 11, 2016

Several items ordered were as pictured but the Midi rings from Love is You were not what I expected. The ring was bonded together so there was no allowance for sizing. It may have been for a baby's finger. Very disappointed. It took 7 weeks to get here and I could not use it!

Rip off company
June 15, 2023

Quality of products is extremely poor. Fabrics cheap, manufacture awful, they do not resemble the images portrayed on the site. They claim to have uk warehouses but you are expected to send back to Asia by tracked mail AND pay the return postage, then they refuse to refund the full amount you paid. Don't waste your money, you wouldn't want to keep this cheap rubbish anyway!

I am a size 14 and purchased a Large size after reading the measurements on their website and to to compensate that it's made in China.
I cannot get it past my shoulders, total total waste of money, even if I dropped 2 sizes it would never fit.
Dry disappointed as the top is very nice…
How do I return it and ask for a larger size.if they do an XXL.
As for proof of purchase no paperwork came with it..

I have placed several orders with these folks. Many of the items (especially clothing) are unique and ultra colorful. Shirts you just can't get anywhere else. The more you order from them, the more email 'deals' you get offered - many at ridiculously low prices. I highly recommend them. Shipping to the United States does take a few weeks so order well in advance of your need.

Nice

They have a good selection of items at a fair price. Items are shipped in a reasonable amount of time. The clothing graphics could be better on some, but you get what you pay for. It's fine if basic graphic, anything more complicated doesn't look good.

Horrible company
July 29, 2016

This is hands down the worst online company I have ever bought anything from. I ordered a dress which was too small so I requested for either a refund or an exchange. They said they do not do refunds and they thanked me for understanding. The dress was $62 and after taxes and shipping I paid them $105. If that isn't insult enough there is no way to contact them. No number just an email which doesn't always get a response. Horrible company don't buy!

Dear customer, could you please send an order number so we can help to check it? Please kindly note that usually your local Custom Office will charge you the tax fee for imported products. Being aware of this situation and we'd like to provide better service, so we started Tax Insurance service. As long as customers paid for the Tax Insurance, we'll fully refund the Tax fee to them. The Tax Insurance could be paid at the checkout page when you're placing the order: https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/3a39381c-3ae3-4376-8bde-800c4058d8f7
