Light In The Box watch

I ordered a watch from this company on August 21 and paid in full. The order form said product would be delivered in 7-10 business days. It is now Sept. 29 and I have never received the watch.

I have contacted this company numerous times and when I open a "Ticket", the company closes it and marks it as "Resolved" the next day.

This company is a complete fraud and I am shocked they are allowed to do business in the U.S.

There are numerous complaints with this company and I'm not sure why they have not been prosecuted.

Light In The Box security cameras (dummy cameras)

I ordered 2 security cameras in July 2017 from a company called Light in the Box.The items were delivered to the Irish mail service (called An Post), then to Customs and back to An Post. An Post have verbally informed me that they lost my parcel. They told me to contact Light in the box for a refund or a replacement. I also took had insurance with light in the box in the event that my parcel didn't reach me. Light in the box keep fobbing me off with their own rubbish - emails that don’t make sense, incorrect information on the emails.

Light In The Box xiaomi mi band 2

I ordered 3 Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and paid for duties insurance. I was charged $30 duty fee and contacted Lightinthebox about it. They returned $10 to my credit card and added 20 in my credit (I dont know why!). I asked them to refund $20 dollars to my credit card and they said they did. I did not receive that amount in my account and opened a ticket with them. Now I am in a loop with them where they keep replying back to me with the same message since 2 weeks.

Light In The Box notebook

I ordered and paid for a new notebook over a week ago, on a shipped in 24 hours basis.

I have tracked my order, and it has not been shipped yet.

Either you contact me urgently, and advise what is happening, or I will go to social media and tell all concerned. And I will contact the legal team to discuss action

The fact that you make it almost impossible to contact you, leads me to believe that you are a very untrustworthy company.

Light In The Box wig

I order a wig from y'all a week ago and it kept saying I didn't do the payment and that my card was declined but you took the money out my account already. I tried it three times and it kept saying the same thing. I was wondering what is going on and why it kept saying that? I cancelled all three of the orders and hoping I can get my my money back for it.

Light In The Box order. no.: [protected]

Tracking number isLX437747361CN : 2x bouquet reallity fern leaf artificial . I hav tried constantly to inform light in the box company about the above named item... I have not yet received this item. Please do not ignore this complaint or you will leave me no alternative to contact ombudsman
Just to say this item was purchased at the beginning of the second week of August, and was due to be delivered at the end of the third week in August.
Light in the box declared that bulk orders would probably be sent in single items to enable the orders to be delivered more quickly than that of a bulk order.
Best regards. J. Ross

Light In The Box my account and order vanished or banished?

In early august 2018, i placed an order for a 'xiomi mi band 2' from lightinthbox.com ; payed through debit card and it displayed that my order will be shipped within next 2-3days, and that it'll reach me within next 15days. But it didn't happen so even after a month.
So I sent a ticket as recommended by the site and got a satisfactory answer stating that my order will be delivered within the completion of 60days that is before 8th September 2017 and if not, than i should write another ticket.
Guess what? I didn't get my order, so to write another ticket, I logged in to my account and it displayed 'wrong password '; I did all the necessary procedures to revive my password and when I finally logged in, all my order and ticket history was cleared... it was all vanished ... there was no order or ticket!
Please look into the matter and get me my order as soon as possible.

Regards
Mirza sultan

Light In The Box please, never order from them

My package never arrived. ordered several items in June, and now it's September. I think it's the right time for panicking.
According to the provided tracking number my package was on its way to the US, then it reached New York and all of a sudden was shipped to China again. Ok, I really have no desire to find out why it was sent back, I just want my money back. And it's not easy to do because their reps stopped answering me and since then I have no way to contact them again.

Light In The Box terms not clear

I am trying to purchase some products frin this website but as the items are shipped from china it may impose custom duty in destination country. It is mentioned in the shipping terms and conditions that customer can opt for duty and tax insurance to avoid duty expenses at the time of delivery but this option is not at all available at the time of any product purchase. Only normal shipping insurance check box is created at the time of check out while purchasing. This I think is a fraud with the customer s. Every time a customer buy anything from this website, there occursva problem of custom duty tax which increases the cost to double. moreover there is no conact number or email id mentioned any where in the website. They are making fools of the customer s to create bluddy tickets everytime after spending monry and then leavr the customer waiting for their revert.

Light In The Box account cannot be deleted

Hello,

I want to delete my account at LightInTheBox, but their website does not offer this option and even provides no customer service email address or phone number.

So I want LightInTheBox not just to deactivate, but to delete my account, especially my login name and password.

I can not find my client number, but I once had an order with the order number [protected].

I have got the same terrible experience, I wouldn’t suggest even register there. All items ARS in a very low quality, item colors doesn’t much those in their pictures. This company is stealing your money and not returning your payment.
Just stay away from them. They don’t have functionality “delete account “ so unethical company.

Don’t buy anything from them! You will never receive your order. Also, they will try to charge you again for reshipping or they will give you a partial refund if you don’t want your order to be reshipped. I had to escalate my claim to paypal to get a full refund. Now I want to delete my account with them but the website doesn’t have that option.

Light In The Box I did not receive my order $400

I have not received my order. I ordered online 8/4/17, they supposedly shipped 8/10/17. I notified them by email 9/2/17 that I had not received my package--they responded 9/2/17 stating it was still in transit and I would receive it by 9/17/17. I responded 9/7/17 by telling them the package was indeed late and I'd be in touch. They responsed 9/7/17 again telling me they delivered 8/24/17. This makes no sense. I emailed them 9/8/17 to tell them I have received NOTHING...no response! I just want the items I purchased or a refund. Why is that too much to ask?

Light In The Box adult unicorn onesie, color blue, price 22$ without tax and shipping

I ordered a unicorn onesie and payed for it on the spot when I finished my order, but it appears that 2 days later I get an email from your company telling me that my order is "pending" and that I need to finish my payment. I don't understand why I got that email since I payed on the spot, I got a message from the bank telling me that the money have been taken from my bank account so I'd like to know why my order is not being shipped already since I payed for it.
