BEWARE!

I bought some nba jerseys from lightinthebox.com(they have another site called Sellerkey.com), thinking they might be ligit because of the pictures. when i recieved them after a month i was very dissapointed. they dont look anyhting like hte picture. and they wont give me a refund but a coupon instead. thats ridiculous cuz im never using this site again.

The jerseys was sposed to be a swingman which means it should be stitched. the numbers looked like they were spray painted on the jersey. and there is no tags. its all mugged.

These guys just stick in nice pictures, bottom prices, once you pay, that`s it, you are ###ed, it is just a BIG BIG RIPOFF.

So this is their sorry not sorry response to customers.

i purchase some lovely looking products on their website only to find them faulty and super poor quality when they arrive. I immediately start the returns process. I have to send photos, then then contact me for more photos - which i send. They want the packaging images.

then they send this from Light in the box.

"Considering the problem confirmation is quite time-consuming, we can go with a simple way that you can keep this item with a (a) REWARD (values 50% of item price, same as a coupon/voucher, can be used on next order for discount) or (b) a partial refund (30% of item price) as the discount on this order . You may just reply "a" or "b" to this ticket if you prefer this solution. "

so yeah...they have my money.. i have some binable rubbish and the best i can hope for is $30 out of $100. (Which i seriously doubt i'll get.) Good times for me and hoping others can learn from my mistake.

see pic below of a dish caddy that is completely out of alignment. The other items are just as bad.

All 8 tee shirts and a dress for my granddaughter are cheap and look nothing like the photos.

I am angry, disappointed, and ripped off by this facade.

I am demanding a FULL CREDIT to my payment method and have filed a complaint with my bank disputing the charges for this trash.

I received an order with no return and no invoice. the quality was poor at best. I have tried every site to return and it wont let you get any where. When you talk to the site to get info to return it takes you to a site to put in your credit card for a return label. A huge scam!DO NOT BUY! Cheap endnote responsible for anything!

I bought two wedding dresses. Gave my measurements. 38 D on.top. 5' 1" tall

I received 2 size SMALL dresses. Obviously, couldn't get them on.

The middle panels weren't the same color as the main dress materials.

Lastly, both dresses are much too long.

Useless.

Another complaint about them just taking money and never sending order! Took me for almost 100 bucks!

Ordered 4 shirts and they took my money that second. Now weeks later and no response about shipping or delivery. Reached out to this company and got no response. Don't want anything now but my money back.
