Ordered a men's shirt from Lightinthebox. My size is large and so I ordered extra large to be safe. When I tried the shirt on I could not do the buttons up. It was way too small for an extra large shirt. I tried to return it and received an email from Lisa Sandoval advising that I would have to return the shirt to China and the cost of postage to do this is very expensive. She offered a "partial refund" for the inconvenience and without having to return the shirt. We accepted this offer but no partial refund has been forthcoming and Lina has gone AWOL. She doesn't respond to several emails and I am very dissatisfied with this company. Very poor business practices and not trustworthy. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM OR TRUST LINA SANDOVAL'S PROMISES.

TERRIBLE!
April 20, 2022

Terrible the dress did not fit. I mean it was a horrible fit, lopsided and the sleeves were WAY too tight. I weigh 140 and I am 5'6". And they only offered a 15% refund... PLUS the order took about 4.5 weeks to arrive. Worse looking dress and fit ever. Plus I could not even zip it up.

I was willing to do 85% but no longer... I want to sue them for such bad service and return policy.

This package was just as expected, and the parts fit my GoPro Hero as though they were made by GoPro themselves. The tripod was a bit smaller than I thought, however that will just allow it to fit in smaller places. The clips are very strong and should hold through any jostling around. The head and body gear seem very good as well, however I haven't tried them on yet.

So in a nutshell, this is a good package for the money, especially if you don't have any GoPro mounts to work with, which I didn't.

After posting the review below, I was contacted by Customer Service who advised they can address my issue with the cycling top.
So I have adjusted my overall rating to reflect my thanks for their timely response.
********************************************************************************
I purchased a cycling top as a gift.
It turned out to be too small, because the sizing information was wrong.
The size chosen, (which normally fits my partner), has been used to purchase clothes from other clothing companies.
When I contacted the company, they told me it is too difficult to return as it has to be sent to China, at my cost.
Instead they suggested I buy another top in a larger size for a slightly cheaper cost.
NEVER AGAIN

Hi Susan,

Thank you for having written a review of our store.

I do really sorry that product did not fit properly. Please be noted our clothes are made based on our own size charts, which are different from your local standard. We state the specific measurements for each size on every product page, in order to help our customers select the best suitable size. If you have ordered without checking the measurements in the size chart, it may not fit you.

We also regret to hear that you felt difficult to return the order. I can fully understand you are disappointment. As a customer service, my task is to maintain your satisfaction. So I will apply for a Special solution for your consideration.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24453766) with further details. Should you have any questions or doubts, then we'd like to hear from you.

You've got to be $#*!ing kidding me. Absolute scam. Wasted $50, waited three months for delivery to get the led lights here after their trip around the world for them to be broken. Look out LightInTheBox I'm filing a lawsuit against you.

My experience
June 21, 2016

Their products are of good quality (The most that I bought). The LightInTheBox conveys confidence, because if the request does not come, they return the money. I was never at a loss. In addition, there is a very helpful staff that keeps me waiting for answers.

When items were delivered they were faulty, as the picture shows the bulbs were hanging out of the frame. New batteries used but lights did not work. Lightinthebox are ignoring my request to return the items and get a refund.

My products were very good. Take note on the sizes because they are smaller than the standards in America. The problem was that it took seven weeks to arrive. I hope that the company could work on their shipping and delivery area

No return policy
June 14, 2023

I purchased 2 shirts size 5X. They are too small. Beware of sizing. They want me to pay $10 to $40 postage to send to Asian Warehouse or refund 10%. Look out no returns or refunds just coupons. Not a US company

It was my first and last order on this website.
December 8, 2022

Check pictures. Don't waste your time and money. They will not issue a full refund. I even was not able to open a case in the order. The website glitches in China and does not have phone or email support.

Graphic T-shirts and Shorts

Placed two orders, first order shipped as two-part order. Second part of order one and order # 2 arrived at same time. Everything was great except for some slight defects to the left sleeve stitching. Other than that issue, everything was good.

Took long and cheap
October 16, 2020

They took a lot longer shipping out then they said and shipping is expensive. Not true to the size chart they provide. Feels thin and cheap. They will not accept returns. In my opinion this was a horrible deal. I bout two different items from them on one order and both are bad.

Worst company ever
January 30, 2022

Do not order from this company! Missing an item from my order. No way possible to contact them. Their customer service leads you to no where! The item I did receive is nothing like the picture. The dress looked so pretty & bright colors in their picture. I didn't even recognize it when I received it. So faded out. So disappointed!

I ordered men's medium size but they are not European size - trousers match description apart from sizing very small - not same as European.
Company have refunded in full ( following negative comments on site) so issue resolved fairly by them and as agreed.
Trousers were fine, delivered as expected but SIZING is an issue beware of this when ordering

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I will follow up your case.

We regret to hear the pants don't fit. But please be advised we are a company serving customers all over the world. So we can't sell the pants in EU sizes only.

In order to help customers pick the correct sizes clothes, we sell our clothes with specific measurements. You need to measure yourself first and then pick the correct size by checking the specific measurements stated in the size chart on each product page. If you just pick normal size without refer to the measurements, the clothes are always go small. We appreciate your kind understanding in advance.

After checking, the pants' measurements you ordered are as follows:

Size M- Waist: 28¼-34¾ inch, Hips: 38½ inch, Length: 39¼ inch

If you did not check the measurements when ordering and realized that you picked wrong size for the pants, we apologize for that. While we'd like to help you resolve the problem with our greatest effort.

I had conducted new Ticket ID =22647816 in our ticket center and provide new solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply and let us know your decision. Thank you for your cooperation.

I had ordered two dresses, to choose one for a wedding. They arrived very quickly, I opened them and saw that one outfit had a wrap that wasn't quite the right color, which I offered to send back. I received a message telling me to keep the dress, and my money was returned.
The other dress and wrap are perfect, I am very pleased. Thank you for your timely response and I will look forward to shopping again with LightInTheBox!

I will never buy anything from them again. Choose for yourself but read on!
A beautiful and fast website to order everything
--> the customer is king!
Very long delivery time
--> customer becomes a prince
Delivery incomplete
--> customer is no longer a nobleman
Returning delivery
--> very unclear which routing and after 3 emails finally clear
They actually do not want to deliver
--> many discount proposals
Return and then your money back actually total discouragement so now everything except customer
--> costs nl 50.00! Just about more than the value.
All in all, treated like anything but a customer at the door and at the end of the journey!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
November 13, 2020

Two sets of outdoor lights arrived quite quickly and were put up in the summer months but not used. One set of lights has now given up after only a few days use. Wrote to ask for a replacement and its only a 30 day window. Will not be buying from them again.

Dear Helen L,

We regret to read about this bad experience. We are truly sorry for what has happened and would like to make things up with.

Can you please tell me the order number? The warranty for most of our products is 30 days, which cover manufacturing defects or damage during transport. Once this delay passed our supplier will not accept to refund or replace the products

However we always try to help our customers case by case. Please tell me you order number. As you you've only used the lights for a few days, we will try our best to accomodate you. Please reply us here or through your account.

We wish you a nice weekend!
