BEWARE!

I bought some nba jerseys from lightinthebox.com(they have another site called Sellerkey.com), thinking they might be ligit because of the pictures. when i recieved them after a month i was very dissapointed. they dont look anyhting like hte picture. and they wont give me a refund but a coupon instead. thats ridiculous cuz im never using this site again.

The jerseys was sposed to be a swingman which means it should be stitched. the numbers looked like they were spray painted on the jersey. and there is no tags. its all mugged.

These guys just stick in nice pictures, bottom prices, once you pay, that`s it, you are ###ed, it is just a BIG BIG RIPOFF.

I had ordered a dress and paid under Light/Mini In The Box Duivendrecht NLD. I had made an order online form Light In The box company.

It is a blue dress.

I have not heard from the shop and want to know the outcome.

I ordered a coat from Light In The Box on the 3rd of October 2023. The coat arrived about 10 days later but was much too small.

The company advised to send the product back at our own cost which we did. To date no refund has been processed.

Two shirts arrived today; pink and blue. Pink packed well but blue thrown into bag with no packing. Looks bad - all screwed up and will have to be ironed a lot before wear. It's sloppy and careless. Not good. To me it looks as though someone has worn the shirt already

I purchased a Men's leather jacket as described on their website and received a cotton handmade jacket that is not made of leather. I feel it was a scam from the seller and Light in the box should make the seller provide the return shipping label and all my money should be refunded $48.34.

Light in the Box site came up. Products online looked attractive. Bought three items.

Delivery charge was approx. $15 and still took ten days to receive tops.

THEY WERE MADE WITH 100% POLYESTER.

Waited too long to return them. This post should serve as warning to others.

Hello

I returned a parcel back in February with the value of £87.00 and cost me £25.40. I never received the refund and today I received the parcel back to me as refused. It has taken 7 months with no outcome.

I ordered a dress from lightinthebox back in June. The dress didn’t fit me. I returned the dress since July the 17th. I never received my refund. I’m not able to reach a customer service agent. I ordered the dress for a wedding, I had to purchase another dress at Macy’s. I really need my money to be reimbursed to me.

Beware of the sizes. I typically wear a Men's 2XL in shorts, but theirs are more like a small in the waste. Tried 3XL and still way too small. Finally 4XL are wearable, but very snug. They're also poor quality. One style was trash after two washings. Will not be ordering there again for sure

Horrible company. Scammed my mum out of her cash and the order never arrived to the door. This is despite a report to paypal and despite evidence from our carrier that this order was never scanned nor sent although they had claimed it was already shipped and that we had supposedly received it. They ignored our countless emails with automated responses and our pleas for a refund were never met. They are fraudulent and i truly hope no one ever decides to buy here. It is better to find another company just to be safe from this one. Horrible company. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE.

I purchased 3 dresses for my daughters wedding, thinking I could return them if they didn't work out. You can return them... to China, otherwise they give a minimal amount of what you pay. Will never buy from this site again.

I was willing to place an online order but aborted it due to their exorbitant delivery charges, They then sent me an offer, by email, giving a £10 discount so I placed the order. However, LightinTheBox failed to apply the discount and charged full price (paypal). All a bit of a con?

I unsubscribed from emails twice following the instructions but for days now I still receive marketing messages.

I contacted them twice asking them to stop sending me messages and remove me from their system but have not had any response. They are not emails but messages that pop up on my phone. Last message was today Sat 17 June 2023.
