I have ordered over 20 items from Light in the Box and satisfied with everything. Colors match the picture. Cook stuff.
Cool things to select from, easy to order, orders are always correct, Comes USPS so I don't have to mess with Fed Ex or UPS trying to find us in the mountains.
I submitted a request last week to return two of the three items. And have not been given a return label
My dress came quickly, looks just like it does online, and it came at a great price!
Web site is super and easy to use,
Prices are super and even drop lower.
Item arrived early and are of great quality.
I purchased a camera bulb and I cannot get it to work ltried 4 times and gave up who would l contact to
Get it working?
At first I was apprehensive when l made my first order but everything turned out great l will not hesitate to place other orders and refer your company to others thank you
I get so many compliments on my super cute sweatshirt! I did size up 1 or 2 sizes and it fit perfectly! Love it!
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!

Such different merchandise from typical retail stores. Usually receive deliveries within 2 weeks.
Always great prices, fast shipping, great quality merchandise
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.

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.
Dear customer,
This is Megha, supervisor of customer service, Lightinthebox.
We sincerely apologize for what happened. We honor you as our valued customer, and we honestly hope you can have an outstanding shopping experience here.
In order to solve your problem, would you please provide your e-mail address used in purchase and order number, so that we can target to arrange a solution as soon as possible?

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.
