I've been a LightInTheBox customer for a couple of years but had only ordered t-shirts for people as gifts. I recently downloaded the app on my Android phone so I could take advantage of the additional discounts, sales and rewards that are not available when ordering online. I was thrilled with the discounts I received on my very first in-app order. (I also subscribed to their Gold Membership so I could take advantage of the MUCH lower shipping rates.)
Once I had the app installed, I found myself spending time scrolling through their Flash Sale items just for fun. Flash Sales are discounted items are marked down even lower for a limited time (usually 24 hours). Some of the bargains were too good to pass up so even though I expected lower quality on items costing between $2 and $5 (CAD), I decided to take a chance.
With a flat rate of $7.50 for shipping, I loaded up my cart and took a chance. The first order showed up with everything looking exactly as it did in the photos. The electronic gadgets were all in working order, the clothing items were well sewn and nothing was broken, defective or cheap looking! I was now completely confident about placing subsequent orders.
This particular order arrived ahead of schedule, well packaged, nothing damaged, nothing missing and everything looking and working exactly as promised. One of the items in particular left me absolutely thrilled. There was a custom-made t-shirt on the flash sale for only $8.51 (CAD). For that price I decided to take a chance and uploaded a photograph to be printed onto a t-shirt for my husband.
The price included a photo on the front AND the back. Since the photo I was using was of an abstract painting my husband made, I decided to put a mirror image of the painting on the back so the colours would line up at the shoulders and it would look like you were seeing the painting through the back of the canvas. I came out perfect! The colours are bright and look just like they did in the photo.
I haven't washed the t-shirt yet but it feels like a good quality and it's made from polyester so I'm sure it'll last. I'm honestly so happy with the end results that I can hardly wait for the custom t-shirts to go on sale again!
Thanks LightInTheBox!
