I ordered a formal dress for my sons wedding. The dress arrived without consideration or space for the neck. It was cut almost straight across from center of shoulders and the fabric had no give so when you put it on it cut into the throat and bunched the rest of the top area. When I contacted them the best they would do was me paying for shipping back, only with USPS, and with a refund of 64%. Shipping was around $40 so it ended up being less than 50% of the cost.
Update: After posting my review the company reached out and offered me a refund. I wish it wasn't so difficult to get decent customer service but I am glad that they decided to help me in the end.
I ordered some stickers - their value was less than £4. I have just received an invoice for £21.39 for customs and duty. I would recommend you read the small print (if there is any) I certainly didn't see anything about this on the purchase page. My item was a few pages of stickers, the costs must be huge for larger items. Also, the customs value is not based on their cost but the value.
The sizing is not based on US standards. The colored buttons bleed onto the fabric around the button hole. I was offered 10% refund. To return it will be very expensive. It has to go to China! Don't bother with anything this company sells!

Ordered a blue jacket, received a product that was two sizes too small, material was color faded in some spots. Requested refund but was informed I would have to refund to China, which expense was more than the jackets value. Paypal complaint is pending.

I bought a union jack duvet set from them, which ironically came from overseas. I was charged £23 duty on top of the £65 I had paid for the item and Light in the box didn't warn me of this payment or refund it.
It is hard to describe what purchases and how much goods I have from you. There is not a single thing that I or my friends do not like. I do advertising for you both at work and in my town and every time I hear positive things when it comes to shopping with you. No matter where I am, whether at home or in the store, I attract many people's attention because the goods from you are "UNIQUE". Attention because if I want something, I buy it. Thank you very much, but it does not mean that I am saying goodbye to you - your shop is a miracle of the 21st century. Regards
I ordered items for a baby shower, but my order arrived 2 weeks too late and was not able to use them. I would recommend ordering these boxes and organza bays, but place your order 2 months before your event. They are very cute.
I ordered 3 pieces of clothing. None of them fit-way too big. I tried to return them but they wanted me to ship them back to China. It was going to cost me $45.00 to send them back. I spent over $90 on the merchandise and they would return only $40. So I am out the money and stuck with cloths way to big! I will never order from them again

I was wrong about this Company who have offered excellent customer service, good communication and a practical resolution with a full refund for a quality garment that is slightly different in colour to that of photograph. I would now have renewed confidence in them.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in advance.
I would have left it 0 stars if I could. Have never ordered from a company who would not consider refunding and returning items that I didn't like or that didn't fit. The material on these dresses is cheap. 2 of the sizes were too big. 2 of the items didn't fit well. I spent $146 and I will not get any of it back. All they gave me was 15% or 30% off. I even offered to ship them back with my own money. Nobody would respond to that. I would never recommend these people to anyone. Their customer service is horrible.

DO NOT order from this company if you live in the US! Product ships from China! Paying for expedited shipping makes no difference either! I ordered something for a party and it won't be in as promised on the shipping order! There isn't an actual phone contact # for this company and all communication is done via email. They are slow to communicate and this has become a total hassle! I DO NOT recommend this company!
Hello there. We are sorry for that. Please provide a valid order number so that we can help. Thank you
Took forever for the item to arrive - this cost me £33 and I have been charged £27 tax on top which i'm unable to dispute. When I queried this with light in the box I was told this was my country's problem, not there's.
I said I do not want the item and they are refusing to refund.
Will never ever use again and I would urge anyone else to think twice also, the prices have hidden charges so are not as good as they look.
This site should not be allowed to sell. I ordered and payed for two dresses and also for the delivery. They said the items will arrive in 5-8 days. They took the money and after 7 days they said one of the items is out of stock. They put it's value on the credit. It took me some time to figure out how to transfer this credit back to my account. I payed on 26.02.2017. Now it's 21.03.2017 and nothing. The second item never arrived. Please take care and don't buy from them. Utterly rubbish!
Dear Customer,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please don't be worried cause we'll take full responsibility of that.

I do not recommend buying products from "Lightinthebox" I found to men's winter coats and paid for them. When they finally arrived, the large size would not fit as they were more like a childs large vs a mans large. I am 5' 6" 170. Their website is not user friendly probably so you cannot return or get a refund. When I reached out to them they suggested that I keep them and find someone that can wear them vs. sending them back to china warehouse due to the prohibitive costs involved. So i have two winter coats that I cannot use and no children to donate them to. I truly feel cheated by this company

The delivery was on time, and the items were of good quality. I got a short winter jacket, two shirts and a winter hat. None of them had any defects, which I was pleasantly surprised.
My friend had her order delayed and she had to wait another 15 days, but the items were fine for her as well. Coming from China, the customs were also problematic in this delay.
Overall I am satisfied, the zippers, linings and quality of material are good, and after wearing it for a while everyday last winter, I was happy there was no wear and tear.
I have ordered a number of different items and have generally been very pleased. It would be nice if the items descriptions provided information on what materials/fabrics are used. Also the delays from the time of order to when an item will be shipped should be provided. Currently all that is shown for status is "Processing" and you don't know if that means it will take one day, one week or one month.
But I think the variety of items and their quality have been excellent
Sent non dimmable globes. Cost us a fortune to install. Wanted us to deinstall and send back which would have cost 4 times the value of the item. After mediation they agreed to refund in exchange for an updated review.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I would like to help.
We are really sorry that the bulbs don’t meet your satisfaction. Please be noted the reason we need your cooperation to return the bulbs back to our Chinese warehouse is we need to use the unqualified products to seek full compensation from the supplier. We promise to cover 100% return postage for you.
However, I can fully understand your disappointment and concern. As I truly value you as our customer, I had conducted new Ticket ID =22721255 in our ticket center and provide a Special solution for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.
This is very good company to deal with. Initially I was not comfortable to spend over 1000/= dollars on international online site. Therefore I split into two and tried one order; all worked ok. Then tried next order, now I am very comfortable with this website.
They all came as described and very easy to contact the customer service and resolved any issue. Only issue is shipping time; some times it takes up to two weeks to ship.
My wife purchased items from this company. When they arrived they were the wrong size and did not match the images online. They were returned as per their specific instructions 6 weeks ago. Still no refund. This is a scam

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.
