The order and item were fine. Until you are left to pay a large custom bill which is not clearly explained when you order. Customer service is at best very rude. Please shop else where and dont give your business to these guys.

To be fair to them after a bit of nagging they have issued a 50% refund on the custom duties

Reliable service
April 7, 2017

This is my first time ordering from China and I was a bit worried. But I loved all the clothes that I've ordered. The quality was really nice indeed. Shipping via DHL took just a few days. And the store even refunded my customs fee, that was very considerate of them I must say. Overall, I'm delighted. Will definitely purchase from LightInTheBox again.

First time, great experience!
May 30, 2023

I'd seen many ads before when surfing online. I was not sure LightinTheBox was a trusted website. I finally took a chance and made my first purchase: all products came carefully wrapped in no time to my address. I was more than pleased and stunned that all went so well. I will definitely come back for more! Very nice quality of the products!

A mixed bag
July 18, 2023

Some good-looking clothes, but the sizes are generally too large, and the quality is very shifting. Have apparently not published my reviews for individual items when they were negative. The low prices allow for a few bad items in an order (wear them at home) when you can get a few great items in this mixed bag.

I bought a jeans dress hoping it would be a real denim.It's not even close.It looks like a cheap blue curtains fabric.My grandma can make denim dress better. A complete throw away of my hard earned money.No quality, no style just cheap cheap cheap. There is even no label or tag.Don't buy anything from this fraudulent website

Hello Agnes,

Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.

I am very sorry that the denim dress was a complete disappointment. Would you please send us a few pictures, so we can see the fabric isn't denim? This as evidence will help us obtain full reimbursement from the supplier. In addition, we encourage all customers to contact our aftersales customer service through the website. You won't find any difficulties in obtaining a refund. It will also help us by taking measures against certain suppliers.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24817324) to help you resolve this problem. I stand by that we can help you obtain a refund without too much effort!

Awaiting your details,

This is the only source I know for rare earth spherical magnets. These are a toy which can be sculpted. I have ordered more and more. My office is very happy. Guests come again just to play with the magnets.
Items are packed well. Items ship within a few days of ordering. My orders take a month to arrive. Yes, waiting is tough. It's not slow shipping, it's just a vast distance to cover. Compare the shipping time to picking the item up in person!

Hello,

Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.

We truly apologise for the delay of your package. This problem could not be foreseen at the time that this order was made. The packages shipped through economical shipping need to go transit trough several different post offices and countries, which is the reason why it is still in transit. According to our logistic department the package will likely be delivered during the next 2 weeks.

Tracking Information:
https://t.17track.net/en#nums=LV255965521CN&fc=03013

Please check your mailbox (ticket #24491708) should you have any further questions or doubts.

Happy to be at your service!

The "directions" for returning an item are as clear as mud. Basically, if you want to return an item, or in my case two items that just did not fit, you have no real choice but to keep them and donate them to a good cause. NEVER will I order from Light in the Box ever again and I would recommend that anyone reading this would heed the warning. Always learn from the mistakes of others!

On size matter, please understand that our suppliers are from different areas so that their size are different, therefore, we provide a Size Guide in our product page which provide measurement and a clear size table. I hope it will help you. I prepared a sample picture for your reference:

Terrible experience
January 10, 2022

If you live in the US don't order from them. They are unreasonable & the intent is to keep your money $$. They email nonsense. I was told they closed one of thier distribution center ( has nothing to do with me). They sent me a return label after they said I couldn't send it back to China or where ever than had the nerve to respond & say I sent it to the wrong place. Excuse me but it's your label. Ridiculous. They only want your $$$$. Don't shop here if you value your hard working dollars.

Hi Sheree,

Thank you for reaching out to our customer service.

I am very sorry for what's happened and will try my absolute best helping you quickly resolve this. After reading through previous correspondence I learn that you've returned the package back on your own initiative. Please be aware the return address will only be shared after 1 of the aftersales customer service agents gave the approval to return. Have you returned the package back to the address that is indicated on the shipping label? If the case, then this will be the USPS warehouse, with who we don't cooperate with. In fact we put a yellow sticker on the outside of our parcels, especially to warn customers not return the package to the address that is printed on the shipping label. Despite our warning we we wont get the dress back. Considering this it's not evident to justify a full refund.

We have send you an email (ticket #25134859) to further help you resolve this.

We are looking forward hearing from you,
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

Unbelievably cheesy.
September 7, 2015

I ordered five items from Light in the Box. Each item was shipped from a different location. I received a flat metal dish rack with silicone ends, and the silicone color was faded, as if it was either very old or had been in excessive heat. I received "chiffon" women's clothing, which was cheaply sewn out of very thin fabric, in addition to which I should have apparently ordered THREE sizes up from my American size (instead of two). I threw these items in the trash, as they were too cheesy to donate.

After I advertised with evidence the negative experience of the local package delivery company, they found another company that works without any problems, and they are very kind. Here is an example that the world can be made beautiful. Thank you

I bought a dress on this site, I needed a royal blue dress for my sister in laws wedding. I chose the custom made option as I am a bigger girl and needed a good fit right out of the box. Overall I paid $140 CAD for my dress, that is the custom made option, the expedited shipping and the duties, yes, there are duties for dresses into canada. I advise reading everything about your purchase prior to ordering. The site has all the info should you look. My dress came right on time, taking 4 weeks and customer service contacted me after I had a measurement wrong-the same day I ordered! Everyone loved my dress, as did I. Yes, I was apprehensive ordering online but the quality I received for the price was mind blowing. I ws so impressed I will be purchasing my own wedding dress from here. The one I want in the shop costs $3000 and they have a replica for $130! If anyone wishes to see, I've posted a pic on "light in the box wedding" on Facebook.

Received all items without damage. Shipping takes longer than I am use to. Took a little over a month to receive the larger part of my order. Received in two different orders. Happy with what I bought. Will order again. Giving only 4 stars because of shipping costs and delivery.

WARNING - AVOID!
March 11, 2023

Absolutely horrendous experience. Complete bunch of sharks that will do anything to avoid taking goods back for refund. The goods that I received were incredibly poor quality with no labels and sized about 4-5 sizes too small. They are based in Asia and expect you to send their absolute rubbish garments back to them at your expense (which they know that you probably won't bother with) so then proceed to make your ridiculous offers like.keep the rubbish that they sent to you and they will give you half of your money back. PLEASE do not do business with them as you will almost certainly regret it and doing business with them keeps these sharks in business.

Beware - item that says "linen cotton" in description is 100% POLYESTER! Ycch!
Super cheap fabric and poor quality used on items I received.
You get what you pay for - buy less, buy quality - somewhere else, not available here.

Not truly returnable from USA.
Returns cost $20-30 and take so long the return window closes!

The dress I received did not look like the dress in the picture. Colors were different. I usually wear a small or medium in most clothing so I ordered a small according to their chart. It was huge. There are no size tags in it. They make the return process difficult and they know it because they offer a 30% discount on another item or a 20% refund to avoid the return process. Never again!

Never again
December 26, 2023

On 12/14 I purchase a linen suit & shirt for my husband dor $164.93. One sleeve was longer than the other. After emailing light in a box I was told I would be responsible for the return ( postal service fee$63.00 to ship to china) & once the item is received I will be refunded $121.98 although I paid $164. Please be careful with these site it's not what it appears to be.
