I bought 2 shirts and I had 1 shirt to return. Light in the Box makes it very difficult to return your product. I will never do business with you again!! I will definitely spread the word to others!!

Wedding Guest Dress
I just received my dress as a wedding guest for my neice's upcoming wedding. It was a perfect fit, true to size! The craftmanship was totally amazing as I sew myself and the work was perfect! The tea length was perfect with no alterations needed. I highly recommend Light In The Box!! They had my dress ready and shipped quickly, receiving within a few weeks time.
Never Again
First order was just a pair of pants and everything was ok. Still slower than any other similar service, still no communication regarding the actual shipping terms, but it took about two weeks from order to delivery. With the second order, things went South. Four items ordered and paid for on August 13th. Still no shipment till today, multiple AI agents offering coupons and lame excuses and promises nobody seems to respect. I just hope they are actually still operating because I truly want the purchased items, but I will never order or recommend anyone to again.

Ist and last order
Ist and last order, product quality control is non existent as is their customer service, if your product is faulty they try & deny you a refund, force you to go to consumer affairs or offer you part refund, leaving customers out of pocket. I strongly recommend never purchasing anything from this company Temu is way better & easier to deal with, plus they're products,prices, returns & free shipping top notch, compared to costume box, more like con box
This has been my experience dealing with your horrid, customer service department trying to get a refund on your falsely advertised defective product, causing me to go to consumer affairs for you to return my money, you really don't want me to copy & paste what options I was offered leaving me out of pocket $ wise and without an outfit.
NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY
You will receive defective product, lose money & your time, trying to get them to abide by consumer law

Very Poor
One star given because there wasn’t a no star option to give.
Dreadful service and communication ….do not use the fast delivery option, as it clearly doesn’t work.
Item arrived poorly packed with no paperwork, or returns info.
Will definitely not be using them again.

Absolutely awful tops
Absolutely awful tops! Tight fit with no stretch in the cheapest thin cotton. Nothing like the photos. Should have cost $5 from Temu but charged $20 per shirt plus postage. Colours completely wrong. The picture showed Rusty colour but arrived Christmas Red ... straight to Vinnies!

Beware the taxes not included
I buy from Brazil.
With most sites, you assume the prices displayed on the cart include all customs taxes and fees.
Here's the catch: not with this site. It's not said explicitly, that taxes are either included or not. You assume, because of the show price, that taxes are included for items in this price range.
When you get the items in Brazil, you still have a huge amount of taxes to pay on top of an item whose price was not competitive in the first place, so the item becomes totally overpriced compared to good local brands.
And with the very long delivery times you risk not finding out the unadvertised fees and missing the deadline, thus losing your purchase.
So pricewise it wasn't an acceptable deal. I have learned from experience.

T shirt oversize XL. Policy return is an awful handicap that becomes imposible. Terrible experience
Insist: policy return is a fraud in European Union
It must know so much from TEMU and SHEIN

Absolutely dreadful material and quality of stitching . I asked for refund which they try and get you to accept a percentage refund and keep the items , they make it so difficult to return that you give up and accept it .

Buyer Beware
The clothes I received by this company are too big even though they are my size and their return policy is ridiculous. They are in China so unless you are ready to accept a refund for less than half the amount you paid, you have to mail the packages to China and then (if they get there at all) they inspect the merchandise and decide whether to give you a refund.
The response below is no help whatsoever. It's basically their showing me how to report my shipment to China.

I ordered 2 dresses from Lightinthebox
I ordered 2 dresses from Lightinthebox. They arrived not as described. The fabrics were terrible quality and inappropriate for the style of dress. The quality of the workmanship was also just bad. I elected to return the dresses for a refund within their stated terms at a cost of £23, to Chine, although they were sent from a UK address. They have not responded to my requests for reimbursement. The next thing I know they have been sent back to me as I posted them, just months later. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY they are 1 big fraud from begining to end. According to their records this case is closed already. I would leave 0 stars if I could.
I have received what sounds like a co-operative response, however as of this morning my a/c no longer shows any orders, and therfore have no means of contacting your service dept for a full refund. So another deception. However, my service record is extensive because the problems.

Get it? The last contacts are more recent.
You say a refund is on offer. This is what is required is NOT a credit not to buy more from you. Why would I want to do that? Again I'd suggest DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!

Repeatedly I tried to order something and on Checkout I'm told they don't deliver to my Zip code.At one time a guy from Customer service told me it was reset. NO IT WAS NEVER RESET after 4 attempts to purchase items I'm giving up.
I don't need the frustration.
SIMPLY PUT, IF YOU LIKE HASSLES AND HEADACHES STAY WITH This ungrateful company . I can just imagine what they are like if you need an exchange or refund.
UPDATE: I RECEIVED A REPLY, but just as I figured I'm just talking to the wall. They want me to go to my account then go to "MY ORDERS" 🤔🤔 that is pretty hard to do since I can't order anything. So really my review at this time would be zero Stars If I could.

Junk
Everything I got was junk and it was expensive junk. I actually filed fraud with my bank. They took the orders off my account so I cannot return them. Highly recommend going elsewhere

I ordered a tshirt with personalized printing and when it arrived the printing had been duplicated. You couldn't read the bottom word at all. I contacted customer service to ask about returning the tshirt and ordering a replacement. They offered me a discount of 60 % on my next order but said that a return would not be in.my best interest. So that would mean the new tshirt would cost me another £6 plus shipping. The first tshirt isn't wearable but I was happy to send it back if they would provide me with a returns label. It appears that's not an option. Definitely won't be using this company again. They have asked for photographic proof that the tshirt isn't printed correctly which I have provided but it would appear that somehow I have to foot the bill for their mistake.

Please save your money and don't order…
Please save your money and don't order from this page if you don't want to feel like you been scamed. First at all they false advertising. I bought t-shirt advertised as 100% cotton, but in the reality is made of 63% of plastic plastic. I was waiting over a month to get the order, but on the website are complete different information about delivery times.
So I decided for return and refund.
NOT POSSIBLE as this company is from Asia and telling me i will have to pay 20$ of shipping cost etc etc and wait for refund months.
Firts they started with 30% refund ,after 40% in the end I agreed with 60% refund and what coming next? yes they give you refund in the form of credit to buy something else from their store.
Just unbelievable scammer's please avoid and safe your money

slow delivery, bad quality products, difficult returns proceedure
Items took forever to arrive and were really poor quality fabric and print, when they eventually did get here.
Even though the website says they offer returns, when I tried to return my items I couldn't do it through the site, but instead I had to contact customer service and request the return.
I received an email response asking me whether I wanted to keep the item and get 50% store credit, or a 30% refund, and if I didn't want that to please request a return.
I emailed back saying I did not want store credit because the items are low quality and I had no intention of purchasing anything else from this website ever again so please inform me of the returns proceedure as I wish to return my items for a refund, as previously stated.
I received another email stating that they would offer me 60% store credit or a 40% refund, if I was willing to keep the items, and if I didn't want that to please request a return.
I wrote back for the third time stating AGAIN that all I want was to return my items for a refund.
I finally received an email with instructions, basically telling me that LitB did not offer a returns label service and to please take my items to the post office and send them the cheapest way possible and to not use a courier or anything, that it would take 2-4 to arrive with them, would cost between $10-$40, refund would be processed after inspection (who knows how long that was going to take), and all responsibility lay with me... but if that was in any way inconvenient, I could rethink their other offer.
It's basically temu under another name. Don't buy from them!

Do not order from these people
Do not order from these people! Their sizes are way off and their return policy is obnoxious. I ordered a 2X which is my size - the item was so small I could hardly get my arms in. For the return policy they wanted me to take pictures with a measuring tape to make sure it was the right size and several more steps and still not a full refund. I gave the sweaters to my neighbor who wears XL and if fit well. Do not order from them you'll be sorry.

Returns policy is very difficult
I placed a fairly large order for clothes. When they finally arrived, more than half either didn't fit (mainly because of strange design / dimensions, or because the product really didn't look like the picture. I requested to make a return, and after waiting several days was offered 30% off my order instead of returning. I still wanted to return, and finally got the information I need to make the return, to China of course, and at my cost, i will still evaluate the cost of sending and may just take the 30% discount and throw the clothes away. I will not ever order clothes from them again.
