Had been using the site for almost a year now: I buy clothes, gifts, accessories (miniinthebox version of the site) and I was happy with all of the products received.

Delivery - also great, with no rush I get most of the products by mail for no extra fee! When I had to pay - the item was delivered to my doorstep. Also, that was because of the taxes, I think, since they payed them for me.

Recomend!

Got everything I needed and I'm very satisfied with the experience of my first purchase. Fast shipping, pleasant customer service and really nice site with a huge variety of products.
I did however run into a problem which they should consider fixing: My 2nd and 3rd order were returned to them because of a customs security issue (I was, of course, refunded each time). The items were a battery and nail polish which don't seem to be allowed. I hope they fix this by putting some kind of label on the product's page to let you know the item may not be allowed to pass customs security resulting in a returned order.
Other than that issue, I'll continue to shop with them.

This dress is excellent. It fits perfectly. I am very pleased with the quality of the fabric and impressed with the high standard of workmanship. It only took a couple of weeks which was much quicker than I expected. I would recommend Light in the Box to all my friends! Thank you so much.

The dress I order was so beautiful and I felt so free in it. The materials flow good with my body type and I just fell in love with the bedding design all around the dress.

Prompt delivery of a very good product the P7 Cubot mobile phone.
UK buyers be advised that DHL will charge you a whopping £21.00 extra on top of the delivery charge you already paid, apparently for customs, VAT and their charge for doing this! The plug that helps charge the phone is a two pronged round one no good for UK but adapters can be found for a couple of quid or buy a Blackberry charger off EBay around three quid and it works a treat.

Received the package in The Netherlands after a week or so. Very happy with the way it was boxed and the package was complete. The customer service has been great too. I ordered a black IP Cam and immediately after ordering it I wanted to change it to white so I had a chat with someone from the after-sales team. They were very responsive and helpful. I made a ticket and was told that I could simply apply for a RMA and send the black camera back. After doing some thinking, I decided to keep the black camera. At the beginning I had some issues to view the camera. I followed all the steps from the manual, which is quite easy to read. However I got stuck on the P2P ID Finder software. The software recognized my internet settings but it didn't find the camera. This was very frustrating for me as I am quite tech savvy and couldn't figure out what the issue was. I decided to skip this software and try it on my Android phone. I downloaded the software and after clicking on search, it found my IP Cam. The IP that was shown in P2P ID Finder didn't correspond with the IP that the camera was on, that's why it didn't find anything. Having the correct IP in hands now via the Android app, I was able to reach the camera via my browser and set it up correctly. I have it now working on my browser (IE and Chrome), Android, iPad (iOS7) and even from outside my home network (from work) after doing some port forwarding. The image quality is not very sharp, but for 31 euros (total price) I am very happy with it. The only thing I can remark is that the audio from camera to other device is VERY low. From device to camera it's pretty decent. I guess we will be buying a separate audio baby monitor and just use the camera for the video. All in all, I surely recommend this camera and the services from Light in the box. Cheers, Albert

Loved the products that we bought, but I got a shipping bill from DHL and I wasn't aware that I would have to pay an extra $17.99 in shipping. Overall I'm happy with the things that I've purchase!
