Some what satisfied
December 1, 2023

Updates were wonderful, but out of the three sweaters I ordered, I was pleased with only one,
One was very poorly made and was way to small, one was way way to wide I'm having to put darts in the side, the other was about right,

The price should be an indicator that you will get what you pay for! I ordered over $500 worth of dresses for an event intending to return the majority after trying them on. I went out of town and my order was delivered. When I was able to finally get to my order and select the items to return, I was told by customer service that it was past the 7 day return window and my items were non-refundable. Also, the quality of these items are of very poor. Most of them are nothing as pictured and fall between cheap and plastic material. I personally would recommend NEVER ordering from this website!

Shipping sucks!
December 1, 2023

I wasnt expecting the best quality, but all the t-shirts Ive purchased were very good and even soft, pleasantly surprised! However when buying clothes from China, its always best to go up 2-3 sizes, which I did and they fit perfectly. However the shipping is where you get screwed, the 5 items I purchased, all came in one bag but you are charged shipping and handling 9n every single item.so it's a good thing the merchandise has a cheap price because shipping will cost you more, in most cases. My items total came $32 but with shipping $55

The dress I sent for was not in proportion. Tiny on top and large lower down. I wanted to return it for a full refund to which I'm legally entitled. The company suggested that I accept some half price voucher instead, and return the dress at my expense to their warehouse abroad. After several messages to Megha, he finally secured me a full refund. It took a fight, and knowing my online retail rights, but thanks to Megha, it has now been resolved to my satisfaction. But, caveat emptor!

Os produtos são ótimos, de excelente qualidade, exatamente como aparecem nas fotos. O prazo de entrega é rápido, e o rastreamento feito pelo LighinTheBox só se encerra quando está nas mãos do comprador. Já comprei outras vezes e a qualidade é sempre a mesma. Recomendo.

I ordered two lamps, total cost 77 EUR. Since 6 months no answer where my order is, no info about the tracking number, no help at all. Only offer I received is to return 60% of the goods cost (without expensive delivery costs), which is less then half of what I have paid. Awful experience, awful customer support.

Rip-off of sorts!
November 29, 2023

It's a rip-off of sorts. First they tell you if you get the app, the prices are cheaper and they are. But shipping is expensive and per item, not calculated on total or by weight. Then they send an email telling you that you can add more items without additional shipping using website only and "Buy now" option. When you do that, the price will jump to triple and will be higher than the app price plus shipping. Also, the "free gift" for getting the app was put into the cart, and then all of the sudden not available anymore, but still for sale on the site. So you can make up your own mind about them being fraudulent.
