Light In The Box refund policy

I purchased shoes from the above company and the product I received was slightly small and not suitable for the outfit I required them for. Prior to purchasing I read the returns policy which states " In the case that you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we have made returning products FREE and EASY!"
In addition before proceeding to the checkout it states under the product 14 day FREE returns. (Please see attached photo).
When I lodged a ticket with them to return the product they advised that I am liable for shipping costs. I went to the post office and they quoted that it will cost around $30 to ship internationally.
I would like to make a complaint in regards to the false claims this company makes about their refund policy.

Light In The Box package not received, refused to give refund

I ordered 4 x GoPro harnesses (order #[protected]) on 14 October but I never received my package. The package should have arrived in 4-7 days but it has now been over a month now. After the first complaint, they said it could take up to 30 days. After the 30 days, they said it could take up to 40 days.

They are refusing to issue a refund. This company is a joke. I would not recommend buying anything from this company.

Light In The Box drone xk x500

I ordered a drone from light in the box. It arrived but with the wrong transmitter. They supplied a xk x6 transmitter which is for a helicopter. The one i need is xk x8 transmitter. I know this because i have another one bought from fasttrack and it works with their transmitter. I have tried to email customer service but tgey provide no eay to contact only for a return. I dont want to return the drone, i want the right transmitter sent which is their fault. According to Lightinthe box they go through a very thorough check list but Fasttch got it right. They said 3 working days to answer well thats been and gone. I will try paypal next. I wont be paying to return something sent wrong and really why make it so hard to explain oneself. They do not wven email you instead you have to kerp checking on their site. I will never deal with this company again! Tim Moore Australia. 10 years buying on Ebay and over 2000 different companies, be proud Lightinthe box for making it so hard for your customers

Light In The Box damaged item, poor packaging

Order of 2 Nov 2017
Order # [protected]
Women's Wool Crushable Black Fedora Sun Hat Jazz Hat
Tracking # LW158856298DE

I must take exception with the concept that this hat is 'crushable'. Yes, it's crushable (what hat isn't unless it's a metal military helmet) but in order for it's crushability to be of any use to anyone it would need to restore itself to it's proper shape. However, this hat is crushed beyond repair and looks like it has been run over by a car. It is unwearable. But then it is going to arrive crushed beyond anything reasonable when it is despatched in a plastic bag without a box! How is the hat supposed to retain its shape shipped like that? The hat is beyond disappointing, it's a joke and I want a full refund for the hat and the postage associated with this part of the split order. Please.

Light In The Box never received my refund (nor my actual item)

I ordered a wallet back in early Sept., the shipping date stated that it would be 5-8 business days. Come a few weeks later I find myself contacting the cust. service only for them to tell me it'd take longer due to transportation. I thought okay...Come a month later, still no item. Cust. service tells me to contact the postal service...turns out it was delivered to the wrong address! Went back and fourth will their cust. service for days...ridiculous. Finally a few weeks later they decide to offer a refund (that now was near a month ago). Last time I talked to their cust. service (11/03) they said it could take a few more days. Smh. I would never order from this travesty of a site again. You're better off using eBay or Amazon...at least you'll actually get the item you ordered.

Light In The Box pre order inquiry

I am interested in some of you ready made garments such as Jacket, cardigan etc,
When I check the size chart, I do not fit in sizes shown in the chart, I am 5' 6" in height Indian, my shoulder width is 18" 47cms, and sleeve length is 21" 54cms, on checking with your size chart I find I do not fit in the reference chart.
When ever I buy garments online from international sellers I give my collar size which is 41cms, I get garment delivered without any mismatch.
Please advice.
thank you

Light In The Box jbl charge 3 speaker

I have ordered a JBL Charge 3 speaker and when I opened it the charger hole was loose... therefore i can not charge it nor use it. I am very upset about this as when I went to the website to ‘return and replace' it was not available in my orders. In addition to this your customer service number is American which is difficult to use as i am based in the Uk. Could you please let me know the procedure to return AND replace my order.

Many thanks,
Soumaya LOTMANI.

Light In The Box delivery charge vs time

Afternoon,

I attend regular salsa classes and all the ladies say to order your shoes from your site, so I was very excited about my purchase until now.

I placed an order for a pair of shoes ( order number: [protected] ) and paid an additional fee for the faster delivery time. I completely the purchase on the 3rd of November, arranged to be close to home to receive them assuming they would arrive between 7th and 8th however they did not arrive til today 10th November. As far as the delivery man was concerned they could be delivered between Monday and Saturday which from my point of view pays no mind to the fact that I paid for the faster delivery.

Instead of a bad review on the sellers profile I'd rather first see how you'd resolve this issue .

Looking forward to hearing from you, this is my email: o.[protected]@gmail.com thank you

Light In The Box lies, scam and fraud

I ordered a dress for my military ball and was told I would have it by the day of the ball. I was later told it may not be here by the day of the ball, so I requested to cancel the order. The lady stated she would cancel my order but 2 days later she sent me another message stating she cancelled my cancellation because the dress was going to arrive by November 3rd guaranteed. I have a screen shot of the many times I asked for the order to be cancelled and also have the email of them confirming my dress would be here on time. Today is November 6th (3 days after my ball) and still no dress. I have been writing them with no response. All I want is my refund. This is the first time and the last time I would ever order from light in the box. My ticket ID is [protected]. My order number is [protected]. At this point I just want a full refund. According to the tracking information these items have not left China.

I have the order tracking number above for 2 items, neither of them have been delivered and I have been waiting at home for them. If they say they have delivered it isn't true as I am currently on maternity leave therefore have the time to wait in the house for them but nothing has been delivered.
Please can you help find and chase these items for me as it's for my wedding in January.
Kind regards

Light In The Box delivery of shirt and customer service response

In August I ordered a shirt. In September I contacted Light In a Box to ask where it was. I was told to be patient as deliveries can take 30 days. I contacted them in late October to be told "sorry, deliveries take up to 60 days". Each time since I am fobbed off. I have told them I want my money back or I will contact a solicitor. No reply yet. I am sue they have thousands of successful interactions every week. This doesn't compensate me or my bank account...

Light In The Box return delivery cost

Light in the box sent goods that did not match the website description (different colours)

They agreed to refund the goods if I returned them to Poland.
I got the cheapest price I could to send them back and reconfirmed they would reimburse me the return delivery cost before sending.
They agreed.
Having received the goods they now will not reimburse me £87 delivery cost- am shocked that they agreed, in writing and now refusing.

So I am significantly out of pocket despite doing exactly as they said

Shocked at the outright deceit of a corporate company
