CHEATED AND DISAPPOINTED
February 23, 2021

I do not recommend buying products from "Lightinthebox" I found to men's winter coats and paid for them. When they finally arrived, the large size would not fit as they were more like a childs large vs a mans large. I am 5' 6" 170. Their website is not user friendly probably so you cannot return or get a refund. When I reached out to them they suggested that I keep them and find someone that can wear them vs. sending them back to china warehouse due to the prohibitive costs involved. So i have two winter coats that I cannot use and no children to donate them to. I truly feel cheated by this company

The delivery was on time, and the items were of good quality. I got a short winter jacket, two shirts and a winter hat. None of them had any defects, which I was pleasantly surprised.
My friend had her order delayed and she had to wait another 15 days, but the items were fine for her as well. Coming from China, the customs were also problematic in this delay.
Overall I am satisfied, the zippers, linings and quality of material are good, and after wearing it for a while everyday last winter, I was happy there was no wear and tear.

Great Company
March 1, 2021

I have ordered a number of different items and have generally been very pleased. It would be nice if the items descriptions provided information on what materials/fabrics are used. Also the delays from the time of order to when an item will be shipped should be provided. Currently all that is shown for status is "Processing" and you don't know if that means it will take one day, one week or one month.

But I think the variety of items and their quality have been excellent

Sent wrong items Now Resolved
January 25, 2021

Sent non dimmable globes. Cost us a fortune to install. Wanted us to deinstall and send back which would have cost 4 times the value of the item. After mediation they agreed to refund in exchange for an updated review.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I would like to help.

We are really sorry that the bulbs don’t meet your satisfaction. Please be noted the reason we need your cooperation to return the bulbs back to our Chinese warehouse is we need to use the unqualified products to seek full compensation from the supplier. We promise to cover 100% return postage for you.

However, I can fully understand your disappointment and concern. As I truly value you as our customer, I had conducted new Ticket ID =22721255 in our ticket center and provide a Special solution for your case.

This is very good company to deal with
October 2, 2014

This is very good company to deal with. Initially I was not comfortable to spend over 1000/= dollars on international online site. Therefore I split into two and tried one order; all worked ok. Then tried next order, now I am very comfortable with this website.

They all came as described and very easy to contact the customer service and resolved any issue. Only issue is shipping time; some times it takes up to two weeks to ship.

Let's start from the order
July 21, 2014

Let's start from the order. Everything in time as described! When I received the product I was impressed of the detail of packing. As it's not an expensive saxophone I was ready for acceptable packing but that was beyond my expectations. Even small pieces of foam between the pads for safe transportation. My daughter, the saxophone was her birthday present, says that it sounds great and it is far more than what she needs for her studies. I'm really happy I decided to purchase this item! Definitely I would recommend it to people who would like a saxophone for learning or spend some time with.

Don't waste your time
February 13, 2022

My order has been processing for the past month. They keep telling me I've been made a priority shipment... But 8 days later, still processing... I would ask for a refund but apparently you wait even longer... I've always had better service with Shein... I made an order at the same time with shein, my order came within 2 weeks. And it was a large order... So I will choose Shein over light in the box any day.

I ordered two items that arrived. Thickness of fabric, colour and quality of print and best of all the sizes.
I have contacted them to gain a return and refund but continue to get automated question on product.
Absolutely the worst ever so please bin the app.

I have had a partial refund that almost covered the full cost but the experience was frustrating as seen in my review. I think vetting of product quality is required if they want to maintain the platform

Although it was a bit big, basically what you see is what you get. I love it! I would definitely order from this site again. Even the shipment date came a little early than expected. So pleased with my products.

Paid for items and expedite shipping. Items never arrived to US. Customer service provided a tracking number that did not show anything. Would not refund--"wait another week" then "wait another month"

The sizing is wrong
October 26, 2021

I followed the chart the posted on their site and I even went one size up. The two cardigans were so small my arms did not go in. I left a review and I was contacted to jump all these hoops so they can help me. The photos they asked for did not even download on their site. The whole process is a nightmare. I would stay away from this site if yiu are not sure about their sizes. 75 dollars down the drain.

Hi Carlos C.,

Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.

We are very sorry that you've received 2 cardigans that didn't fit. As mentioned, all our clothing is made according to exact measurements, as indicated on the size chart. Because you considered the size chart my colleague requested to send us photos as evidence. This problem could have been easily proven with measuring tape, and allow a refund without the need of returning the product back! I feel sorry that this procedure gave you the wrong impression. Please don't worry, the souring manager is on this case and will be reviewing the size chart together with the supplier. The products don't need to be sent back.

We invite you to check your mailbox (ticket #24643080) for more details concerning your refund. Please don't hesitate to reply if you have any questions or doubts.

It will be our pleasure to help you!

NO WAY TO GET A REFUND
September 16, 2021

Bought a pair of earbuds that didn't work. They never helped me with an exchange or refund. They offered me to keep them and a $1.50 credit. I tried everything but got no help. NEVER AGAIN. I sent 3 videos

I recently purchased a few items from this website and I am beyond impressed with the quality and service. The clothes arrived quickly and were exactly as pictured on the website. The fabrics are soft and comfortable, and the stitching is well done. I love the attention to detail in each piece, from the buttons to the pockets. The sizing was also accurate, which is always a concern when shopping online. Overall, I am very happy with my purchases and would definitely recommend this site to anyone looking for high-quality, stylish clothing. I will definitely be shopping here again in the future.

Still too slow
June 15, 2017

It took 1 day to take my money, 10 days before it was dispatched and 38-40 days to arrive (if it actually does). Still very poor. Will not use again and warn anyone against your company who wants prompt service.

I ordered a custom mother of the bride dress for my mother who is petite (4'10") and has had a shoulder replacement, so very hard to fit. The dress was fabulous, well made and looked just like the picture. Only minor tailoring was needed, which would be expected from a dress made sight unseen! My seamstress was awed at the price. Would definitely order dresses from them again. Mom almost stole the show for me at the wedding!

Very nice experience
March 10, 2022

I'm very happy with these bands. I haven't had them long so there is no way to tell their durability. However, in regards to comfort, I'm very happy. The last time I purchased new bands for my fitbit they were very stiff (like when I original bought it) which is always a bit uncomfortable, but these are perfect. The price is also very good. A great purchase!
