Light In The Box product paid for and not received

I ordered a ceiling light from Light in The Box, total cost £167.00 paid for via PayPal and receipt acknowledged from Light in The Box on 13 February 18. I have had no correspondence regarding despatched since then, I cannot access my account with them despite requesting new password's, none of which has worked. I have emailed this company and spent hours trying to find a way to communicate with them, but to no avail. When I search 'customer service' on their website I am led to a sale of ladies shoes page. It seems that if one is unable to log into their account, then this company will not communicate with their customers. I am absolutely frustrated and disappointed that I have allowed myself to be cheated like this. I shall however, in a last attempt try and recover my money via PayPal. One can only hope!
Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing from this company. Buyers please be aware...

Light In The Box missing product. hijacked money.

Hijacked PayPal funds. After two months of non delivery I contacted this site for a refund. They have lied to me over and over. They kept telling me to wait a few days for the refund to my PayPal. I contacted PayPal and filed a complaint. Light in the Box sent me a notice stating they would instantly refund my money, ONLY if I withdrew my complaint to PayPal.

But regardless the measurements they state are not to size.

Resolution. I want my entire order refunded once received.

Light In The Box chandelier broken no refund despite paying insurance, misuse and misleading info on insurance and tax

I ordered two chandeliers and paid for insurance and tax so I would not have to pay any other fees as stated on their website... However I was charged an extra £61 by the courier! So be very wary on using this company as I am struggling to get any money back. Also one of them was damaged and they are expecting me to ship these back to hong kong when it originally stated it would be from europe. The customer service is awful and fraudulent practice, they do not respond or treat you like a proper customer and I will be looking at going to the national press and which magazine in the uk.

Light In The Box service/never received order

I ordered from these people well over a month ago. Haven't received anything. The tracking number they gave me never worked. I've contacted them three different times no one's gotten back to me but the order says issue resolved under the ticket so clearly they don't give a s*** clearly they're okay with stealing from people. At this point all I want is my money back I don't want their ship product I haven't wanted it for a couple weeks now and at this point all I want is my money back this is absolutely insane that they get away with this so often. Absolutely disgusting.

Light In The Box order [protected]

I was sent a faulty product of yours in the form of a broken ps4 controller and was advised to send it back to your Poland warehouse which i have done. it should have arrived there by now and i still haven't heard anything back from you and have no way to get hold of anyone in customer service. I'm sure you know you don't make this easy for consumers and have erased any orders on my account so i cannot create a ticket to chase up the money i have paid.
Please get in touch so this can finally be resolved.

My email is:

Light In The Box this is a scam

My worst online shopping experience!The dress they sent me was different than the photo I saw at the time of ordering.
It was also 2 size bigger, I'm talking about 6cm extra around my hip! I tried to contact them and exchange the dress with smaller size but the complain tickets I submitted were resolved automatically without even contacting me! So basically a SCAM! There is no Email address or phone number you can contact them.
All emails you receive from them is a no-reply kind of email, so there is no way you get in touch with them!
This is ridiculous!$200 in the bin!
I didn't like: Difficult to contact customer service, Takes too long to deliver, Length of time waiting for delivery and the packaging, No email.

Light In The Box fake fur coat

I ordered a fake fur coat from Light in the Box on Thursday, 28th December at around 7pm. I became suspicious when the company took the money, £30-97, from my Paypal account before they had even asked for my address! The company never sent me an email confirming my order - only one demanding I confirm the order with them - some cheek when they already had my money! I decided to cancel my order immediately, but to date the company has not refunded me my money or attempted to contact me. I later read some truly terrible reviews about this company online which have only further confirmed my suspicions about their nefarious practices. They do not appear to have a customer services telephone number on which to contact them.

Light In The Box parcel not received

I have placed my order on the 7th December 2017. Delivery was supposed to happen within 4/7 working days and I have still not received it (we are the 2nd January 2018).
It is impossible to speak to anyone on the phone and customer service online is absolutely not helpful. They lie and ask me to be patient. This website is a fraud, I will take legal actions.
