I purchased a jacket from LightIntheBox and it was grossly misrepresented - order #: *******. The materials were the lowest quality I have ever encountered, and the sizing was so inaccurate that I essentially felt ROBBED.
When I tried to return it or exchange it, the customer service rep "Abbey" played dumb, blamed ME, and left me hanging with no resolution or satisfaction.
LightIntheBox doesn't even deserve 1 star and is NOT LEGIT. I will NEVER order from them again.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for reaching out to our customer service.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Upon checking previous correspondence, I am afraid there could have been a major misunderstanding. A return request was made, on the base that the jacket didn't fit. There was no mentioning that the quality was bad. Your return request was accepted, several propositions were made, but unfortunately we didn't hear you any more since then.

Don't worry, we understand that you still wish to proceed with a return, and I'm more than happy to guide you with the procedure. Once the parcel reached us, it will be subjected by the quality checks of our warehouse staff. If they can find any quality problems, then we will also be able to cover your return expenses in full.

Please check your mailbox, you will find an email (ticket #24908027) with the return instructions. Feel free to reply if you have any questions or need further assistance with the return process.

It is always a joy to help you!
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

In het algemeen goed spul
January 4, 2026

In het algemeen goede kwaliteit, in 2 weken bezorgd (voor mij snel genoeg). Kleding blijft lastig. Vroeger zat er een tekeningetje bij de maattabel zodat je kon zien hoe je moet meten. Laatst een jas gekocht en de mouwlengte had wat langer gemogen, verder een goede jas dus wel gehouden. Ik koop niet veel kleding via internet want vaak is de pasvorm net niet wat ik wil en terugsturen is soms een gedoe, Maar verder prima spul.

Too long delivery time
December 31, 2025

My order was made on 05/12. With tracking system I saw that the product was arrived on the platform delivery on the 12/12 (top!) but I received my package on the 23/12! The Belgian organisation Caniano wrote that they came on the 13 and the 20/12 but it's not true because we were at home!

Grey plain pullover advertised as beautiful pale gray - arrived in quite sad, unattractive grey.
Another one in three wide parts: white/black, red and black - where it looked attractive red - arrived rusty/brown. In future, please make sure that colours correspond to the ones advertised in your catalogue.

Ben vaste klant van Ligthinthebox en ik heb tot nu toe nog nooit iets verkeerds of van slechte kwaliteit ontvangen. Je moet wel goed de omschrijvingen lezen en eventuele maattabellen raadplegen.
