Light in the box hmmmmmm

aliellen30, 23 April, 2012 at 07:52 Posted on Planning 0 8

Ok so call me sceptical but i have always thought if something seems to good to be true it usually is. Has anyone had any dealings with light in the box?

Found a gorgeous dress on there that is £1299 cheaper apparently lol not sure weather to think ooohhh yay or run away

HEEELLLPPP

    A girl i know had her wedding dress of light in the box and it was awful- it was all wonky at the bottom and you could see where it wasn't sitting properly

    My dress was a copy and £1000 less than original, the sites and even seamstresses they use do seem to be very hit and miss though.

    I weighed up the savings against the risk of £106 though and it paid off.

    I ordered faux fur shrugs from light in the box and had a fantastic experience. The shrugs were less than £10 each and delivery was around £10. The shrugs arrived within 4 days (i had to pay import tax to UPS on delivery of around £18.

    The shrugs were fantastic quality and each one was perfect, no problems.

    I have to admit that i was worried at first about ordering from China but i cant complain about the service. Smiley smile

    Here is the shrug:

    Ive not had any experience with lightinthebox but heard good and bad stories. My cousin recently got her dress from them and it was beautiful and you really couldnt tell! It all depends if you want to take the risk i suppose...

    I've not had an experience with them but have read a lot from people who have. Some people have had good experiences, others have had bad...I think it's luck of the draw...Personally I wouldn't risk ordering from them in case of disappointment =/

    I'll give you the same info/advice I gave on another thread tonight.

    I've heard mixed reviews, the bad ones do tend to be people who haven't done their research properly though. When you order from them you have to understand their process. They ship from china, this means you need to allow enough shipping time, and you also need to be aware you could be liaible for additional charges when items come through customs. They also have their own sizing chart, don't just go by what you are in the shops, measure up and check their chart for what size you need.

    Not got my actual dresses yet but I did order a sample. I made contact with their cust service before doing so and found them very helpful, the sample arrived within about 3 weeks and they had ticked the gift box on the customs declaration so I didn't get charged extra. The material sample was great colour and fabric.

    Hope that helps.
