Very good stuff, fast shipping any time again,wonderfull things in the shop that i cant get in germany
I bought a bomber jacket and a black sweater. The garments are well cut and are identical to the images on the website. The shipment has been correct. I am satisfied with the purchase.
As said last time, I am happy with most of the ordered articles but, e.g. if I need a T-shirt or articles like this is it needed to order the next bigger size like usually a - L - in those cases it´s better to order size - XL - my experience. In my case I live in the country side and have a mailbox but the delivery to the postoffice is not possible and I ask myself why not, instead I receive a telcall from a person that they have a parcel for me and we need to meet eachother at a supermarket entrance or a gasolinastation in the town I mentioned to deliver. This is - so far - the only negative point to tell.
Kind regards
Peter
Since I ordered form LITB have been always happy after I found out that the size of the items e.g. shirts need a number bigger than normal e.g. Iusually us the size X but, in those cases is needed XL also for shoes instaed of 44 use 45 and they fit. Will continue order for my Novia and myself.
Kind regards
I purchased Christmas decorations from Lightinthebox. I was given a range for the date to arrive. It took 3 weeks and the products were crushed into a box. The decorations were nothing like the pictures. They were cheap, trashy looking and were made poorly. Since they were crushed into a box, I spent 15 min trying to make one of 8 of them look decent. Honestly, there was nothing you could do to make cheap, trashy items look good. I decided to return and found out I had to pay for them to be returned to China! They quoted $10-40 to return. It cost me $90. After filling out the international forms, paying this amount, I had to spend 30 min trying to figure out how to provide Lightinthebox with the receipt and shipping tracking number (a requirement by them). I am not sure it was wise for me to spend more money to get my refund but I was curious if I would receive my $235 refund.
I placed an order in good faith, one of several. I received order confirmation. I received payment confirmation (from LitB AND my Cdn bank. I received status information. All reasonable. THEN I received an e-mail that made/makes absolutely no sense. It was notice that my order was cancelled due to "lack of payment verification". Now they claim they cannot retrieve the order and have already initiated the "refund" process. After 3 attempts to find out what happened, only to receive repeated reassurances that my "refund" was in process. Good. Because once/if I receive the refund I will not attempt to order again. LitB cannot be trusted. They received payment. They confirmed that. They are refunding me (supposedly), within the next 45 days. They cancelled the order, claiming lack of payment verification. But they are refunding me... BUYER BEWARE. No order in progress. Sale item opportunities gone. Money withdrawn from my account same day. Good way to get a 45-day loan (or gift) of your money and do nothing. I won't risk ordering again. If this happened to me, it will happen to you, when you least expect it. Untrustworthy. Dishonourable.

Happy customer! It's a versatile dress i can wear anytime Day/ Night. The fabric is elegant and Strong. I like the size ( not too long, not too short) It's fit well on me!
P.S. I talk on behalf my girlfriend
Die Zustellung war Spitze. Die Ware ist vollkommen in Ordnung.
Kann ich nur weiter Empfehlen.
Excellent product. Love the styles. Boots are amazing. Delivered on time.
All positive experiences at LITB. Great prices, great customer service, and they have the most badass men's shirts to be found!
It has taken a bit of time to figure out on line shopping, but now that I have it pretty much figured out Light In the Box has been a wonderful source for shopping
Been great. Some things take a little longer to arrive. Everything I ever got. I've really liked alot
No problems - fast delivery - all is good. Keep the faith.
This company has NO phone contact at all. You have to go through A LOT OF HOOPS just to contact them.
My package was stated to be delivered already, and has not arrived. I had to contact the delivery agent, then, found out the package is still in CHINA!

Good quality tunic. It is not too short nor too long and I feel dressed up in it. Worn with leggings or pants, it fits the bill perfectly.
I will never buy anything from your company again since your return policy is erroneous. You failed to say that if you return something you have to mail in cack to China in 7 days to get a return. I bought a sweater for $49 and it will cost me $30 postage to send it back. In addition, it is impossible to communicate with anyone to find the address to send it to. I plan on telling all my friends and family what a sham this company is. Too bad because you go have some nice clothes. You shot yourself in the foot.

My Grandson just loves these. The directions didn't show up until Day 3 and are for all of the figures, which he mostly knew how to put together, he's 7. He is really having a lot of fun with them!
They have a lot of products, the service is great and fast
I needed a theme for Santa's gifts to my family, and LightInTheBox had the perfect selections, so no one got the same gift, but the design was related. And the shipping was really fast. Got everything I needed and wanted way before Christmas. Thank you so very much! I highly recommend LightInTheBox!
I found out about LightInTheBox by looking for pictures on Pinterest, and one of their items caught my eye. Went to their website, ordered the item, and it was shipped and received quickly. Yes, the materials are rather thin, but for summer wear this was perfect. I will be shopping some of their departments too. Highly recommend!
Bardzo fajne rzeczy w super cenach. Szybka realizacja zamówienia.
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.
