Light In The Box Ordered a blazer got incorrect size - garment was incorrectly labelled

Hello All, My Light in The Box ticket number for the above screw up is [protected]

I have had multiple contacts with this company and I still do not have a refund. The blazer as ordered was XL when it arrived it was a L and did not fit even though it was labelled as XL. It was mislabled. After multple photos of the garmit plus pictures showing how it did not fit I still did not get any satifaction. No one has followed up and I do not know if got my refund as promised. The ticket is now closed on their website. There is no spot on the website to check my refund or to reconnect with the company to find out what is going on. If there is any one that can help I would appreciate it.

This is by far the absolute worst company that I have dealt with regarding ordering things on line. They do not have a return autoratzation form or a structured return process. I am really unhappy with the entire experience, I will give them a 1 star rating for the poor customer service and lack of website use as it related to refunds and tracking of same. my email address is [protected]@gmail.com My name is Bart Van Cromvoirt

Desired outcome: I just want my refund and or tell what the status if.

Light In The Box Unable to make a return or contact customer services without downloading the app

I ordered and received a garment from this company. The quality of the item is very poor and the fabric is revolting and is unsatisfactory. I cannot progress the return procedure without downloading their app and a web browser to support it. I do not have room on my phone to do so and I do not have a laptop. I am out of pocket and feel conned. They have clearly tried to make the returns procedure so difficult that people will give up. Every single option that I click tells me to download their app. It is underhand and unethical. I can't even find an email that I can respond to, just more marketing.

Desired outcome: I would like to have a phone number to call, or to be emailed by a human being from customer services or the returns department so that I can return this item.

Light In The Box Evening Dress Received

I purchased an evening dress to wear to a formal year of end black tie event. Unfortunately the dress received was nothing like the dress advertised. it was not elegantly sleek and sexy; it was tailored poorly and very inexpensive fabric was utilized.

They refused to refund me. I paid a total of R 1334.24 and was partially refunded R 485.45. They argued that they do not have a return policy in place and if I wanted a full refund, I would need to pay for the dress to be shipped back to China for assessing for them to agree that there was poor workmanship.

I was not willing to pay another cent towards assisting this company continue to rip me off and take no accountability for goods provided.

Light In The Box Shirt size

Hi

I have ordered a 3XL polo shirt from light in the box, when it arrived it was that small, I nearly couldn’t put it on, I then checked to make sure it wasn’t Asian size and nothing on the add refers to Asian sizes, all my other shirts are 3 XL and fit fine why do you sell sizers that are not correct? The shipping and cost of the shirt prohibits me from sending it back, so it’s gone in the bin. Sorry but I won’t be buying any more cloths from Light in The box and will tell my friends the same, it’s just a waste of money.
