Light In The Box
reviews and complaints

recently spent alot of money with this company. when i returned the parcel for the dresses that didnt fit i paid £30 to return to then not receive my refund. i contacted the company and they said that the money would be retuned to my online account with them for me to then decide what i wished to do with the funds. i made them aware that i wanted to withdraw the funds into my bank however this couldnt be onto the card used to pay as the account ad bene closed, and also asked what my options were. to this they responded that the money had been withdrawn to the account that had made the purchase even though i had ust explained the situation. months later conversations with the bank who say they have no record of the transaction and this company who say the bank have the money, £400 lost and will never use nor recommend this company to anyone!

Hello

I would like help with this issue please.

I ordered (3) wedding dresses from Light in the Box on 2/21/23.

Order #[protected]

Ticket ID: [protected]

Name: Jennifer Lee

E-mail: [protected]@gmail.com

The next day I realized they would not arrive in time for my wedding.

On 2/23/23 (two days later) I canceled my order explaining that the shipping would arrive too late.

On 2/23/23 They responded that it was a "Made to Order product. A certain handling fee will be charge if proceeding with a cancellation"

Light in the Box claimed that work had already begun on my dresses. I disagree with this - it had only been two days and there was nothing CUSTOM about my order.

They are only agreeing to return half of my payment of $606.89.

To date, I have not received any refund.

The dresses still show on the order as being prepared to ship in mid March even though I cancelled the order on 2/23.

Acceptable resolution:

1. Refund the full $606.89 to my Paypal account

2. Refund the $87.88 for an item I did not order.

3. Cancel the order and do NOT send the dresses to me.

Thank you for your attention to resolving this matter promptly,

Jennifer Lee

I ordered a tactical jacket for our dad which was described on the site as a poly/cotton blend, and looks to be a matt dark brown colour. (Order No.[protected])

The item we received is an awful light brown/yellow sheen coat, that is very light reflective and resembles satin (100% polyester).

Not what was described at all.

Please see photos attached for evidence,

As the both the lightinthebox website and app, will not allow me to process a refund, I am complaining here in the hopes you can help me do so.

My name is Diane Schulz and I ordered 2 items (1 t-shirt and 1 pair of cotton linen pants.

I received the parcel today and was very disappointed with the cotton/linen pants. They are not linen at all but some sort of synthetic fabric. Also, there is no care instructions or labelling in the garment. This is a requirement under Australian law. I will be contacting productsafety.gov.au and lodging a complaint.

The t-shirt is as described and my husband is happy.

I am very upset about the misleading advertising with descriptions/online pictures of your dresses.

YOUR DESCRIPTION/PICTURE ONLINE: Women‘s Swing Dress Midi Dress Black Blue Purple 3/4 Length Sleeve Color Block Print Winter Fall Autumn V Neck Mature 2023 S M L XL XXL 3XL 4XL 5XL

This is the description of what I received: Your package with Pleated Dresses

This dress you advertised looks nothing like the one I received! The description of this dress is not same description as the dress you sent me! This dress, I received states: pleated dress

This looks like an OLD LADY house dress that you sent me!

I want a full refund for all three dresses I ordered! Deceptive Advertising!

I will never use this site again and I will tell people not to as well!

Do NOT ORDER from LIGHTINTHEBOX!

Please advise sending this back for a full refund! Color: BlueSize: L

US $32.99 x1

FROM A VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER!

I selected the "refund/exchange" option from the drop down menu. I filled in the appropriate information as requested and then clicked the "submit" button. (Apparently, this is the only way to contact this company as there is no address or phone number associated with it.)

I clicked the "submit button" several hours ago and the little circle that continuously spins to let you know that your request has not gone through has been spinning for several hours now. I made my first attempt yesterday with the same result and thought there may have been an online service interruption so I made another. So I am now thinking that there is nothing set up to handle returns or exchanges. Totally unacceptable.

Received a ballet top that fitted badly. No details of returns included in package. When I followed the instructions sent in email I received a message to say that no returns labels are available and I would have to return it to 'our Asia depot' (no address) at a cost of $10-$40.

There is no way of contacting customer service directly with a message.

This is totally unacceptable customer service from what I thought was a reputable company.

I placed an order via Klarna on the 13th of February. I’ve got screenshots of the email that Klarna has sent me, it states I would be receiving another email confirmation From your website but I haven’t received anything yet and it’s been 9 days. I was wondering where my order is, I did not create an account with light in the box I made the order as a guest. I just need an update to see where my order is, I can’t even speak via the app because I didn’t make the order with an account. I need help please.

I received my package today. 02/18/2023 at about 2pm.But I need a light sneakers for adult. You guys sent kiddies size 35 to me . I use size 42...please revert and let me know your return policy. The shipping no and tracking number are below my complaint

I paid $19.99 for a year subscription to get a fixed rate shipping charge of 4.99 per order. This never happens and I cannot get customer service to respond to me. I don't want to order anything more because I am charged way to much for shipping. I feel I wasted $20 for nothing. Get it together lightinthebox. Horrible customer service, or shall I say, no customer service.

The 4 tops I purchased are terrible. The 3x are to small and the 4 xlarge is way to big. They are not what the picture of them looks like. Very basic tops not nice at all. I also purchased a dress from you, its too long and the sleeves are too tight. Terrible quality. I would request a refund but it would cost me again to send them back. all rubbish. I will never buy anything from you again. I do not want you to send me any more emails about your products.

One of the main reasons I finally purchased was due to your "commitment" to customer satisfaction. I ordered a men's large size. Upon receipt it does not represent what I usually see as a large size. After receiving the product, I go on line and your return policy basically says it'll cost too much to send back through Asian customs. Why not take 10% for your order. That is terrible. That is not about a company who is aligned to customer satisfaction. I will never order again!

These shirts were ordered on 24/01/23 Ordered three shirts $119.99. Two came last week. One still not here. Shirts that came poor quality, stitching is terrible, lots of flaws. No labels with fabric or instructions. Suppose to be a knit polo shirt, not same as picture. Knitted cuffs and waistband were ordered. One has a white thread sewed in shelve mark on sleeve where dye did not take
Very disappointed. Still never got third shirt, but it would be no better than the first two
I ordered January 24, 2023. Order #[protected]
Payment by Visa.

I received the item damaged. I contacted customer support and they wanted me to pay for the shipping back. It could be a lot and I contacted them again and told them that. They said they were going to refund me. Then a couple of days after when I didn't see it in my account I contacted them again. They said that it was damaged during installation that is what their supplier said. We never took it out of the box. It hasn't been installed or anything. I sent several pictures and they haven't replied back. They closed my support ticket. Scam is what they are.

This is the only way send yourselves an email as everything else I’ve tried is coming up unavailable. I ordered address on the 3rd of February. My address is eight Eastwood Park close Leigh On Sea, England, SS9 5RS. The total amount of £151.28 has been taken from my bank account, but I have had no confirmation of the order. It is a black dress size 20. My email address is Judyburrells [protected]@gmail.com to no avail. Can I seem to make any contact with LightInTheBox if somebody could email me as soon as possible to let me know what is going on. Kind regards, Mrs Judith Burrells My telephone number is [protected].

I ordered 2 shirts and received 1 not as described, I told them I wanted to return it, never heard back and they canceled the 2nd shirt and kept my money for both shirts. I have tried to contact several times and no response. This company should not be shut down. After reading all the reviews I don't understand how they can continue doing this to people.

On January 6 I placed an order for three dresses because I read the fine print refund policy which said if orders are returned within two weeks we’re good to go. I ordered three dresses off the rack to try on, amounting to over $500 in total.

They arrived too late for the event and I wanted to return all of them unopened. Went online and started the return process. It was cumbersome, but I did it.

I was told to wait for an email “approving my return”. My return was not approved. Their reason (they pulled this out of a hat) was that my dresses were “customized.”

I am still out $500, the big bag of dresses taking up space in my apartment and no return address or their assurance that they’ll take it back.

Wed 21/12/2022 I purchased 3 dresses from Light in the box.
Order Number [protected].
All dresses ordered were the same style and I deliberately ordered larger sizes than I require, ensuring a loose fit.

- all three dresses were sized way too small to even get on
- one dress was not even the style ordered.
- none of the dresses had the sleeve style advertised
- none of the dresses had the same soft fall fabric as they pictured.

I complained and asked for a full refund with a return of the dresses but have not had any success with them - only silence.

As they failed to provide what I ordered, I expect a full refund of what they charged me, including the delivery fee.

I ordered a man's jacket, but received a woman's jacket. I want to know how to exchange but there is no telephone number to call and when I try to respond to texts about my order I receive a non-deliverable message. My Order Number is [protected].
I want to exchange for the right jacket. I can also be reached at [protected] or my personal email, which is [protected]@gmail.com.
I would appreciate a response.
Thanks-Jim Siepler
