Until this year i was never one to shop online, always sceptical of being scammed or so,
Then i decided to have a go and i was pleasantly surprised by light in the box merchandise.
The quality of the clothing i have purchased was well above my expectations, and i highly recommend
Light in the box to all my friends. Thank you
In the pictures, the T-shirts look good!
The delivery was absolutely 'on the button!'
So far, so good...
I wore the 'Innocent until proven guilty' T-shirt for TWO hours, including one hour's driving: the 'pilling' down the back was dreadful!
I am not sure how to remove it but as it is, the T-shirt looks unfit for wear.
What should I do next? Any ideas out there?
Cheers!
Parcels always arrive on time or before. Item as described. Very satisfied!
My experience with Lightinthebox has been mostly very good once I understood the sizing. Always delivered before time and as advertised.
Tres bon service produit de bonne qualité et prix O.K... Mais livraison quelque trop chere pour le prix de l'article...moins cher a domicile...Mais tres bon choix de produit et disponible...
I bought a pair of boots and they are tight in the ankle and when I do get my feet through they are too big in the foot part of the boot. They are very cheaply made the material inside the upper part is a black velvet so you can't even fold them down if you want to. The darker pieces on the back dig into my ankle and the description says they are platform but they are not platform they are flat and I need the platform that is the reason I bought them plus I love the style and how they look in the pictures. They were cheaply made and definitely not what I paid for

Good lether jacket lightweight and warm,only issue is that the 3X size runs a little smaller than other brands I have tried.
They should offer tall sizes also.
The company deliver the order on time and they produced is very good quality
Beautiful satin fabric and well made beautiful skirt. Talented seamstress. Shipping is slow so it took 2 weeks but it was high season for shipping due to Christmas. Recommend choosing expedited shipping.
Very easy to order, all discounts apply, everything fit and was precisely as described. The bathing suits fit perfectly and the abdominal sweat tee shirt works phenomenally. All the Christmas decorations are as exactly pictured in advertisements. I am more than satisfied and I think this is my third order. Every thing fits shirts, shoes, and shorts. I'm going to keep ordering because this company is so reliable and the prostate top notch.
I bought this item as a test for the accuracy of the company's sizing method, which I found confusing. I wanted to know, in case I wished to order other items in the future. I ordered "large", since that is my usual size for most shirts or sweaters. The T shirt was way too loose (granted, I'm 86 yrs old and have lost considerable muscle mass. My torso measurements for most of my adult life were: chest 44", waist 32", but presently are: chest 40", waist 32"). For proper T fit, I'd now need a "small", using LightintheBox sizing, however, the sleeves for "small" would be much too short. Please align with international standards.
I was also concerned about the lack of information regarding material. This really needs to be adressed. The material in this garment is delightfully fine and soft- much softer than cotton; great for an undershirt. Is it possibly bamboo? One cannot know, for lack of information: that is so for all advertised garments. Please improve by adding such information.
Sincerely,
Jack.
Slow shipping,and size description wrong from one item to another,returning items is unpleasant,or you have to jump through loops to do so,most of the items are cheaper than the other sites but more complicated to deal with if you receive the wrong size or item,in all not a good experience,

Quality of delivered cycling pants is excellent. Delivery was prompt and efficient with good tracking tool.
I find shopping interesting and receiving the item by post, secure & swift, through LightiTheBox policies.
If the item does not match the advertisement, it should not be sent. Otherwise, I am a very pleased customer.
I don't know how to rate my experience yet, as I'm still waiting to receive it after 22 days. Wanted to order more items but before I did I wanted to see the quality of the items I'm waiting on. Now they have gone off sale.
J'ai reçu des pantalons 5 ans j'avais commandé ex-large.

The products that people buy from this site are of poor quality and are not made well
We placed 3 separate orders in the same month and all went smooth
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.
