Light In The Box product

I don't know where should I complaint about these cheaters. They haven't deliver my order.It's been more than 2 months and I didn't get my order. I have lodged several complaints in their site but they are giving me stupid excuses. Even I checked their tracker and it's showing me that the order returned back to their origin (China) but still they are making excuses. I don't know what to do.

Light In The Box dress

I seldom order anything from online, and now I know why. Ordered a dress from Light in the Box. DO NOT EVER USE THIS company!

The dress did arrive in a timely fashion, but, it wasn't the dress I ordered. It was advertised as cotton, but, it is, in actuality, some sort of really poor quality synthetic.

I ordered a 2X...I wear and 18 normally. I held the dress up when I opened the package and realized, although marked on the label as 2X, it was probably no more than a size 4. I couldn't even get it over my head.

Took the dress to one of my girlfriends who wears a size 12, and, she, too, was unable to pull the dress down past her neck.

So, I tried to find a phone number to deal with the problem...none available, except in China. I have followed their procedure per return policy via email, but, after reading all the reviews and complaints about this company...why don't we ever do that BEFORE ordering...I have come to the conclusion that I have lost my $25. Haven't received any response at all, even though they claim they respond within 24 hours...it's been two weeks.

So, lesson learned...do not deal with this company again...than goodness I only ordered one dress, or I'd be out a lot more money. Shameful.

Light In The Box failed refund & shipping

This is an incident involving a $543 package that I ordered online from Light in the box. This company appeared to have a variety of good products online, but the moment that I sent the purchase, I have come to regret the decision more and more. I ordered the package on the 30th of June. It is currently the 10th of August, and I still do not have my package! Throughout the entire waiting process, I've messaged Light in the box faculty countless times. Whenever I messaged them, the responder seemed agitated saying that I didn't understand their policy of how long things take to arrive and that "for my sake, they hope it arrives quickly." Even though they told me that it would be a 3-5 day shipping time and that processing takes a few days, it is literally more than 5 weeks later and I still do not have my product.

The package that I ordered is a road bike that I need to use to get to and from work. The fact that I don't have it has compromised my ability to work more hours, and on top of that I am short $543. I asked for a refund, and now they're telling to wait 60 days for my product without acknowledging my request of a refund. 60 DAYS. I want my money back, and this is so unprofessional.

Light In The Box nail art products

I placed an order (#[protected]) for 14 items and a total of $70.12, on July 24, 2017. I paid extra for expedited shipping which was 4-8 days delivery plus tracking information. It is now August 4, 2017, I don't get any specific tracking information when click the track option on their website. I have contacted them more than 4 times asking about this issue I get blanketed "sorry for inconvenience check the tracking information etc" basically nothing useful. The responses almost sound robotic and when I look at the status of my inquiries I see this message: August 03, 2017 05:36 PM [protected] Package Not Received Resolved [protected]. How can they say my issue is resolved when it is anything but resolved? I want my shipping money refunded and I want to know if I am actually going to receive this order and if I don't get satisfactory response I want my full order amount refunded to me.
I thank anyone who can help me regarding this issue in advance. I don't want to have to consult legal support but I will if pushed.

Light In The Box little girls evening party dress

To whom it may concern;

I ordered 8/9 year old dress, arrived for a 4/5 year old fit. Awful quality decided to put it on my younger daughter for our Christmas Day equivalent. She had it on for a few hours only. The results please see attached. I demand a full refund for this purchase and am well within my rights to do so. I have been trying to get in touch with you for nearly 2 months now. This torn dress is not even worth the return postage and I refuse to pay it. I WANT A FULL REFUND! Please reply as soon as possible before I take this further.

Light In The Box no item and no refund

I don't recommend purchasing from this site to anyone. Customer service is ridiculous and makes multiple excuses in goal of not refunding my item I purchased. Customer service originally told me to wait until the end of June to receive my item. After I informed them of my move (change of address), they told me to be patient and wait another 4 months and if I don't receive the item by then, to contact them. In the end, this is a online store for those who are "patient" enough to wait for half a year for the purchased item. Terrible customer service who isn't really reading your issues, but instead ranting about their "wonderful" business that has been running for 10 years.

Light In The Box shipping fraud

Lightinthebox.com is receiving orders, taking money for the order and then generating a fake shipping tracker. The item never ships. The tracker does not update over a 40 day period. All refunds are refused. Any attempts to establish a tracking number that works is met with lengthy correspondence that blames outside circumstances and begs for patience for extended delivery delay times. First, with 39 day extension, then 60 day extension, then 90 days, etc. They do not comply with International shipping standards and are not accountable for their defunct tracker link. As I've said, they do not give refunds. You have to sit and wait for 3 month's and never received the product. I've researched them on Twitter and other social media and many, many people have experienced this same situation. Do not order from lightinthebox.com the way they are. You are being scammed. If anyone else reading this has experienced the same thing, please let me know and we could go for class action maybe.

I made a big mistake of buying an electronic product of around Rs 1000/- from Lightinthebox. They said my product will be delivered in 10-20 days. After 30 days with no delivery, I contacted their customer care by raising a ticket. They said to wait for 40 days and closed the ticket. But after 40 days also the product was not delivered. I raised another ticket in which they mentioned please wait for 90 days as sometimes the package is stuck in ships due to bad weather etc. Since then I have been repeatedly chasing them for refund which they are not doing. Please read this funny response from Lightinthebox customer care "The reason why we can run successfully for more than 10 years is because we care about our customers’ bla bla. Unfortunately your package was delayed due to an extremely busy schedule of the courier.So you still have great possibilities to receive it within 90 days, before [2018-09-12]. If you do not receive it by that day, please open a new ticket to us and we'll file a case with post office to check."

They have no intension to deliver the product or refund the money. Absolute fraud company based out of Beijing, China. It is also listed in NYSE. Previous CEO Quji(Alan) Guo since 2016. Presently Mr. Zhi Yan, Co-Chairman and CEO of Zall Smart Commerce Group Ltd.(formerly known as Zall Group Ltd.)("Zall"), has been elected as Chairman of the Board for LITB. What a dirty little company with sneaky guys as CEO. All in all please avoid purchasing from LITB. They will simply walk away with your money like polished thieves.

Light In The Box trouble trying to contact company to return items to get a refund

I had placed an order for some dresses and a pair of shoes - upon receiving the items they did not fit. Items were not only ordered by their size chart but a size larger because of the price of the items and still they were to small. I have been trying to reach this company after following the return policy before my 30 days are up, and I have not been able to get in touch with the company to speak with anyone or to receive a RMA (return merchandise authorization) to return my packages. I would like to get a refund for the merchandise that I ordered which was over One Hundred |Dollars. The order was placed before June 23rd, my invoice is dated on the 23rd
