Lightinthebox - know it?

Take a look at the reviews on Trust Pilot !

Ooh, good idea. I will.

i have never ordered from this company but i did look it up on trustpilot as i do with every online company i buy from. have a look at the reviews, the prices look good but the shipping seems to be an issue with some people and the return address is in asia.

I ordered a dress last year - it arrived after a couple of weeks - was too small for my size - the fabric crumpled and was so cheap I threw it away. A few months later my email address appeared on a compromised list and I changed my password. Nothing else I ordered was from outside this country so I assume the email address was sold on - I paid for the dress on a Mastercard and so far no amounts stolen - - I am just suspicious of all these Far Eastern companies online / Facebook etc. selling cheap clothes.

Don’t order from this company, they also have another company called eechic. The goods come from China and there is no return address.

Many people have asked for return address by email with no response, so you are stuck with poor quality goods

Avoid at all costs

I agree, avoid this company. During lockdown I ordered two Summer dresses, which were poorly made in cheap material and I couldn’t return them.

Just flush your money down the toilet, it’s quicker than the grief you will go through.
I was part of a campaign on FB to get these companies banned from advertising on there.
I was banned twice.

Did it not cross your minds that you never see the models faces? They are all copied.

I did have a list of all these Chinese companies, all owned by the same man. I think there were about 250.
He’s the richest man in China.

Please don’t trust TrustPilot. Companies pay for the good reviews.

The swimsuits (with legs and sleeves, sometimes called rash guard dive skin suits) I bought from lightinthebox are great. Although I'm actually quite small I need a large in their sizing but that was easy to suss out because they do the sizing for these swimsuits in height and weight.

MerylStreep - yes, I did notice all the dresses are displayed on the same faceless model. Tbh I did not read anything into that.

Thanks for the advice, all. You have confirmed what I thought - not a good idea to order. I do wish companies with better reputations could come up with equally good designs though.

Why not try EShakti? Similar idea. Cusomised clothes. I've bought from them and the quality is excellent. They're not cheap though.

Just looked at this retailer on Facebook - the most commonly used words in posts by customers appear to be “rip off”, with “do not use” coming in a close second!

This is a good point. Cheap clothes are cheap for a reason, or several reasons, come to that.

My swimsuits were not cheap.
