Disappointed
August 26, 2022

I ordered four items, 2 medium dresses and 2 large bathing suits. I got one dress and one bathing suit delivered first. Neither fit properly with the dress being too big and the bathing suit too small. I wanted to return both for a refund but after a few requests the best they would offer was a credit of 16.61. These two items cost 33.20 plus shipping. The other dress and bathing suit came and fit perfectly so this implies their clothes were not sized properly. Since I am out half the money I paid for these 2 items this makes the two items that fit very expensive. Due to this refund policy (or lack of) I will not order again.

I ordered a pair of red low heel shoes size 8, when I got them they were too small and fit my sister size 7 foot. So I ordered another pair of RED shoes, size bigger, they send me a black pair. I was disappointed. So after a few emails back and forth, them kept their word and the money for both pair of shoes was put back to my PayPal account. Thank You Light in the box.

Dissapointed
December 12, 2015

I ordered a novelty mug that took over 30 days to arrive and it was in pieces. The return policy online suggested that I take pictures with the delivery person handing it to me to 'prove' that it had arrived that way, it seemed like such a hassle, I was hoping there was an easier way to get in contact for assistance and actual customer service.

When my bike was finally delivered, a month late (bearing in mind they advertise a 3 to four day delivery) I had to pay an additional import tax of £108.00. Three weeks later I receive another dumping tax of £156.00. So the bike that was supposed to cost me £218.00 has intact cost me £482.00. What a rip off. There is no way that I would have purchased the bike if I had known there would be an additional import tax charge of over more than 100% of the bike.

You can find items here that are so hard to find elsewhere. Great place to shop. I recommend LightInTheBox for children's clothes. Wish they had smaller sizes, but beautiful items.
Good job LightInTheBox
Thank You

September 28, 2014

For a stunningly low price these are excellent. Plain silver 'blades' are easily upgraded to be more accurate to the manga and anime. The sheer quality is that of the £30 a pop swords sold at most cons. A must for any Zoro fan or cosplayer

Quick response but no real solution
April 12, 2022

I was contacted by the customer service of Light in the Box following my post about a product I bought that had nothing to do with the description and the pictures on the ad. I was invited to open a formal complaint to the customer service but no matter how many times I try, I always get an error message. So it is just useless!

A bunch of crap
August 24, 2015

I ordered a laptop case on August 9th and have received no further information on it. The website says 6-8 days shipping but maybe it meant months? My package is still "processing" and I am very unhappy, very. If I ever do get my package that will be the last time I order from them.

I ordered an octopus tripod which took way too long to arrive. In the picture it looked much bigger and was too small for my camera when I got it. I contacted customer service to return it and they basically said it was my fault and if I returned it I would have to pay the shipping fees so I'm better off keeping it. They were so rude and not helpful at all.

Customer service is non-existent. I have been trying to return a damaged item since January 28th.

Their guarantee page doesn't actually guarantee anything - it talks about their QA.

No phone number to call anyone. No one replies in a timely fashion to request through their site.

I purchased a 2X dress and it is more like about a size 14. I could not believe how wrongly midsized this was. And not possibility of return? What kind of an online store works this way? I have sold online for years and treat my customers with the utmost respect and customer service.

My son (in canada) ordered a smart wristband bp monitor for me. It was to be shipped here in the philippines. After the site received my son's payment, there was a verification process done to ensure security of the transaction. We were asked to send details of a billing statement in my name to ensure (again) that i am truly the recipient of the item. A few days later, the transaction status posted a positive one only to find out in the end that it was cancelled because the payment was made in canada and the recipient is from another country! What a foolish idea to cancel a transaction?

I was looking for some sportswear for my biking trip this Easter. I stumbled on this site where I saw a lot of great products for a fraction of the price I would pay here. Although they are based in China, they offered a DHL express service within 3-5 days. At first I was a little worried, but within 2 days after my purchase I received a DHL trackingnumber and to my surprise it arrived at my doorstep 3 days later. Great quality! This is my best internet purchase ever! No complaints from my side. Great experience.

Only one item in an order with several shirts and pants i'm keeping, trying to return it and they don't want to refund me. The prices are high, i found the exact same on TEMU and AMAZOM for much lower. Delivery charges are also too excessive.

Will no longer deal with them as nothing was as described.
