“Satisfied customer - have ordered several times”

Received my order in a remote village in Mexico--dirt roads gets you to my house. Everything came as ordered. Loved the polo shirt and the socks are amazing. One size fits all and they stretch perfectly to fit. Will definitely keep ordering ion future.

“Don't waste your money”

Scott T.
10/18/24

Do not waste your money. Sizes and color do not match descriptions. Your options for returns are horrific. I chose the 30% refund and keep the garbage I received for sake of simplicity. To return is a nightmare. Expensive lesson learned. Date of experience: October 18,2024

I was pleasantly surprised at the clothing I received from Light in the Box for the money I paid. I have enjoyed wearing the items and have received compliments on most of the tops and dresses.

Paid for a pair of Cargo Shorts on May 30th. They said it was delivered on June 28th. Problem is, I never got it as it was delivered to the wrong address. PayPal refuses to refund my money. Stay away from LightInTheBox and PayPal.

I ordered two separate shipments from LightInTheBox as gifts for my wife. The combined orders totaled $3,276.67 pesos. They were given to her about 10 days after delivery and unfortunately for various reasons she did not like about 80 % of the clothes. They were unused and in their original shipping bags, so I tried to return them. I was surprised at the refusal to accept a return.

At first LightInTheBox refused to authorize the return because more that 14 days had past. I argued that 14 days is not enough time when giving a gift on a specific date and told them to cancel my account.

Only then did they relent and tell me that they do not offer return labels for merchandise sent back but I could sent the clothes back at my own expense. The other limitation besides me paying was that I must send them through the postal service but not an express carrier.

I had already taken pictures of everything and packed them ready to ship so took them to the main post office in Puebla, Mx. There I was told the least expensive cost to return the items to LightInTheBox was just over $2600.00 pesos! This was less than any expected credit I would receive from LightInTheBox so I would come out ahead just disposing the clothes locally.

Temu, AliExpress and Shein are much more customer service oriented and on the few items I have ever had to return, they were prompt in handling the return. I have deleted the LightInTheBox app from my phone and will never use or recommend them to anyone in the future. I would advise using a different merchandiser such as Temu, AliExpress ot Shein

The shirt arrived promptly after the order and fit properly. It is a bit longer and heavier than I expected, but still very useful.

All orders except pants were OK. Two out of three pants, that I ordered according to the size guide, were two sizes larger from the size I wear, and I even ordered one size smaller. Example, I ordered a size 40 for my 100cm waist and the one arrived is 107cm. Both are unusable. The pants size guide has nothing to do with the real size of what they sell. T-shirts are OK.

Wow customer service is outstanding. The product is top quality. The colors are beautiful, do not fade or bleed onto other cloths when laundered. The fabric is absolutely wonderful. From the dryer does not come out wrinkled. I have 8 shirts love them all. If you have a ladies senior tummy order up a size.

The colours are very pale and pattern unclear compared to marketing photographs.
The printing on the fabric is of poor quality.

STAY AWAY...I ordered two dresses from Light In The Box and sent them my measurements and was quite excited to receive the dresses however, when they arrived, they looked nothing like the pictures on the website and one of them had a zipper that was stuck, also the material was cheap and th dress was made of sequin and extremely poor quality. When I contacted the company they refused to take these $320 dresses back and offered me a 10% credit from the cost to buy something else from their company. Said they will not refund due to personal issues. This was my response to their return policy.
"As your email listed below states that you cannot accept the return for incorrect sizing not fit" or other Personal Reasons, the issue is not with the sizing nor is it personal. It's with the quality of the work that it is not the same dress and that the zipper on one of them that is also not the same dress is broken. This is not a personal issue. This is a design/quality Issue. I was sold something that you did not have. I am expecting a full refund due to this issue.

Please be reminded in this email we have also cleary stated that due to it is Made-to-Order item, we are unable to accept returns for reasons such as "incorrect Sizing, not fit" or other Personal Reasons.

DON'T BUY FROM THEM.

After my REAL review, they had the nerve to offer me 50% back on one dress. Are they for real. This is my response.
Thank you so much for your insulting response. I purchased two dresses from your company in good faith. I trusted your company to provide an excellent product not one that is NOTHING like what I agreed to purchase. I spent over $320 and I did so with great expectation of wearing a beautiful dress to my son's wedding. Instead I was sent a disaster. Not only are the dresses nothing like the picture one of them is defective with a bad zipper. As for the size, it was almost perfect and I am fine with the size however the craftsmanship is horrendous as well as the material and let's not forget the defective zipper. I believe that I have been scammed into buying something your company could not and did not produce. A full refund at this point is the only option.

Tip for consumers:
Save your money and stay away from Light In the Box.

Products used:
None. The Dresses are so cheap that they can not be worn.

Today I wore my white double breasted white blazer with the matching white shorts. All day long I was receiving compliments from different individuals both old and young. The material is comfortable and I felt good wearing my outfit. I want to thank you for the items ypu advertise and the prices are very reasonable.
