Shipping Time
August 6, 2019

Warning: Don't waste your $$$ on Expedited Express. You will not receive it in 3-5 business days. It has been over a week, and still, haven't received the order. I do understand that the order is coming from China, so there is no way the order will be received in that amount of time. My bad! I didn't realize I was ordering something based out of China!

I can't say anything about the quality of the items yet will upon receipt. But, I will not order again from this company. I guess I am spoiled, and maybe impatient since I always order from Amazon Prime and receive my items literally at my doorstep in no more than 2-days from ordering. So, if you live in the states, order from Amazon Prime! They have pretty much everything this company sells!

Horrible!
April 17, 2024

I ordered some sandals last week and the next day I decided to cancel my order. I read that if I canceled my order within 24 hours I would get a full refund. I did just that but have not received a refund or a response. I have emailed them and submitted a request for my refund but have not heard back from them. Please do not order anything from this company. And please do your homework and read the reviews and return policy before ordering anything from anyone.

They state, "If you have ordered as your local size, it may not fit you." They "suggest keeping the item" as "returning ito China may not be the most economical option." Other "Customer Service" options include: Keep the item and receive a 20% coupon; Keep the item and receive a refund of 10%; Send the item back to China at your expense and receive a refund. They offer no phone number at their so-called customer service site. Never ordering again from them again. Also dress received had a different style of slieve than pictured.

Awful. I ordered an item on 08/06/17 with a shipping of time of 9 - 14 business days. The item never arrived they have since changed the expected delivery multiple times, '38-40 days'; 'up to 60 days' and now it's 'up to 180 days'. They will not give me a refund despite repeated requests and I now receive a 'cut & paste' stock reply to my requests. I would give this company no stars or minus stars if I could!

Bought some shoes that were far too wide. Trying to return, this is the response I got.

"We're sorry that you want to return the product. Sorry that we don't have the return label, please return it to our Asia warehouse by the cheapest tracking service in the post office. Usually, it costs $10-$40, and it takes 2-4 weeks for delivery. The refund GBP 51 will be issued once we receive it and pass the quality check."

I have had the worst experience dealing with this site. It's honestly so unprofessional. I was told I could get a full refund of my package (2 months late in delivery). When I tried to return it they all of a sudden said I would have to take care of the shipping and get no reimbursement. The item costs $40, the shipping was $33. One lady mentioned I could get a discount, when the next said no. They don't have a phone number to call either which is very unsettling, and the average response I get takes 2-3 days.

Hand's down never going to make a purchase to this online store ever... ever... again. Stay away!

UPDATE: Slava from customer service contacted me to tell me that my duty costs are covered by the insurance I paid for. He has promised a refund to my cc within a week. I'm very satisfied with this exceptional service. Thank you Slava!

I placed an order for $171.00 - shipping was $24.00 and duty was $67.00. I was unaware of the duty charge...probably my mistake!

I haven't gotten my delivery yet. I hope it's worth the money I spent!

Linen skull on arm shirt was a true hit at a recent event and fit great on my Man. Pullover shirts were a little small on him but kept for another family member due to happiness with the product. Women's pull on jean look pants with skull and flower are going to look fantastic on Halloween and beyond just for fun. Thanks Light in the Box.

I enjoy shopping on Light in the Box
September 9, 2014

I enjoy shopping on Light in the Box. Their prices are phenomenal and their styles are right up my alley. The shipping process takes quite long but when you're not paying for it then it's hard to complain too much. So far I would recommend Light in the Box to just about anyone.

Do not I repeat do not order from this company I know you're willing to be lied to repeatedly over when your item will arrive.
Dear customer don't worry your item is being shipped. We'd like to refund you shipping fee USD 9.55 as compensation to wait for this order.

2. Or if you can consider to help us change the rating on sitejabber to 4-5 stars or just remove the review firstly, I will apply for a Direct Full Refund of order price USD 43.16 to our financial manager for you as compensation. And when the package arrives later, you may keep it as a Free Gift from us. It is a Special offer for you. Would you like to accept it? I will process the full refund for you as soon as I see the review is removed or changed.

Please kindly consider it and tell us which solution you prefer to take. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Chinese firm disguised as western one. Clothing stuff is way off the sizing charts. Very complicated to return. Took 5 months to arrive to China. I inquire and they say case is closed. I lost my money and the merchandise plus what I paid to return it.

I had to click one star in order to write this review, but it doesn't deserve any stars. A nightmare to return and a no-refund policy that's not obvious until you try to return and get a refund. And total make believe explanations. Plus extremely poor quality of sewing and fabric. Stay away!

Don't order from them
March 17, 2022

Needed to return a dress that looked nothing like what I ordered. Gave me three options. Keep and they would give me a 20% reward. Keep and they would refund 10%. Last, return to China which would cost more than dress since they had closed their distribution center in US. Rip off.

I placed an order over 60 days ago and still have not yet received any of the items I ordered. I contacted customer service, which you can only do so through their website email, and requested to cancel the order and a refund, which they refused to do and Instead offered excuses. I typically do not post reviews but I feel that consumers should be aware of how their customer service handles issues before making a purchase.

I ordered a green velvet dress as a potential bridesmaid dress. It looked like a bathrobe on. When I went to return, they didn't want to because "it wasn't their fault". The color wasn't as rich, the material was cheap, and it took 2 weeks to arrive. I had no idea I was ordering from China or I would have shopped elsewhere. Don't make my mistake.

Linen shirts
August 28, 2023

If I could give a zero it would be to great for a scam company from China. Linen shirts were polyester not linen. Return policy is a joke. Beware of all companies from China as it seems if you want to be ripped off just buy something from that country. We as the United States should have something in place to protect the citizens against fraud.
