Unexpectedly better than anticipated
February 3, 2024

I ordered a dress for a wedding and was hoping for an average experience. What I got was a superior quality garment for an incredibly low price. Consistently kept informed about shipping and delivery. Definitely will order again.

Nice dresses
February 3, 2024

I ordered 2 dresses and 1fit very well and is very nice. The other is a bit small and the material is very thin and the picture makes it look much better than it really is. I wanted to return it for a different size at least but they make it very, very difficult to do plus you have to pay exorbitant amounts for shipping, which they don't cover. Will not buy from them again.

Wrong color choice sent
February 3, 2024

Like some of the products but they sent me the wrong color choice and I couldn't get a response about the mixup. Wasn't worth packaging it up and sending it back.

I ordered 3 sweat shirts and 2 shirts, all in different sized. The 2 x sweatshirt I couldn't get over my head even though I'm a medium in US sizes. All shirts were extremely small and I could not give them as gifts.
When I tried to return them for larger sizes, I was told it would be too expensive to return and I should just live with them. Absolutely no customer service at all.
Be careful ordering from them.

Buying Women's Clothes.
February 2, 2024

I have been a customer of LightInTheBox for over one year. In that time, I have purchased a variety of clothes, summer dresses both long and short, jumpsuits, summer trousers, and long and short sleeved t-shirts. I am a UK size 8 and I order "small" which have always fitted me. I find the quality very good and the prices are very competitive. Each item is packed individually with tissue paper so they arrive less wrinkled and need little or no ironing. Delivery is always prompt. I will continue to shop with LightInTheBox for the foreseeable future. I consider myself a satisfied customer.

Stay away from this online business. It's just terrible. Their products are $#*!, and once you get them you're stuck. For a refund you have to ship the product back to China and pay for the whole thing - which doesn't make sense given the prices of what they're selling. Stick to Amazon.

I ordered two smart watches on two different occasions and both watches arrived before the estimated date. I and my wife love our watches and were really happy and surprised they arrived so quickly. They work great and look great.

Nice for LITB
February 1, 2024

An article came to me that was broken. Intried to get a rechange for the artikel and they gave me, after trying, a 70% discount on the artikel but only if I went for the $10 offer or $15 on an article. Not to my happiness.
