Terrible company with terrible business practices and terrible customer service. I ordered several products larger than I thought necessary to be sure it would fit. But when they arrived, they were all far too small. When I reached out to request an exchange for a different size, they rudely refused. Horrible company, terrible customer service, terrible business practices. Run, don't walk, away from this company as fast as you can. You've been warned.

Would not recommend. Still have not shipped my item and it’s been 10 days. I realize there’s a processing time of 1-4 days but it’s been over 10. Upon trying to contact, I have not been contacted back. Have made two tickets which take “1-2 days” to be responded to and I have not been contacted. Very disappointed as it was a gift and it will not be received on time.

extremely poor quality goods, and very difficult to return. Very little returns information took days to get info on how to return, very complicated and requires sending goods back to an address in China at your own expense. Decided to cut my losses and not throw good money after bad by the cost of return was almost the value of the goods! Put frock in kids dressing up box, all it was good for!! wish I could have given it 0 stars.

Beware of size. Quality is fine, but I always wear a medium and these were so small I could not even pull over my legs. When I tried to return, they would not provide provide a return label or credit and their response was "may we suggest that you keep the item, to give it to a friend/family member". After pushing for a refund/credit, they offered a 30% refund on the product, not total cost or I could arrange and pay to ship it back to China. So understand SIZE DOES NOT match American typical sizes and their is no returns.

AVIOD - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - they ship the wrong size shirt and then contrary to what their own website says (READ their own return policy), they say you must submit all kinds of photos and then you have to pay for the return shipping, which is the OPPOSITE what their own website says WHEN the problem is that the WRONG SIZE WAS SHIPPED.

Hello Dennis, Thank you for writing this review and reaching out to us. We took note that 1 of the shirts was delivered in the wrong size. We are very sorry for the inconveniences this may have caused. Usually if there are problems customers will send us photos to proof their claims are correct. This allows us to process a refund without the items having to be send back. Sizing issues are in general preventable, as all our clothing is sold with a detailed size chart. It's was therefore perfectly logic we asked for photos so we could confirm the measurements of your shirt are different compared to those indicated on our size chart. As we didn't receive your photos we were unable to judge your case. We believe that you did check our size chart but the shirt size you received are incorrect. Therefore we have begun to process the full refund, you don't need to return it back. We invite you to check your mailbox (ticket #21876113) 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! LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

Charged an extra £21.32 from DHL for VAT and extra charges. I purchased a play tent, I was happy with the price on screen and saw nothing to imply there would be extra charges in addition to this. Nor did it mention it was being shipped from China. Once the parcel arrived I received an invoice from DHL wanting to charge me an extra £21.32 on top of the £35 I'd already paid. This is very expensive for an item that wasn't even very good quality. The play tent came in a zip up bag and the bag had come away at the seams from the zip, so was half open. I went to check the item on their website today and it no longer exists, also you can't access any of the items on their site to read the descriptions. The only plus side is no one can buy anything from them at the moment so hopefully save others from being ripped off.

Still waiting for an order that was placed 12 days ago, which had guaranteed delivery 5-9 days. My order confirmation is not for the item I ordered and customer service is not responding. I wish I had read these reviews before placing my order. And no, I am not fooled by the many positive reviews written in poor english with dreadful grammar and atrocious spelling. Dont waste your money people.
