Light In The Box led light strip is wrong.

I have ordered, paid for and received an LED light strip with controller, and it is not what was advertised. although the remote displays a white option, there is no white colour on the strip.

To add to the annoyance, your 'my orders' section is showing the order has not even been placed so I cant use any of the returns, replacements or cancellations etc. links.

My email address is [protected]@gmail.com

I expect an email with your plan of action for resolution,

I would like a replacement of the led strip to include white LEDS like the picture shows in the item description.

I have tried to look for a phone number which for obvious reasons you don't provide

I look forward to hearing back from you

Light In The Box fraud

My order had arrived after one month since I placed it instead of 3-day shipping. Moreover, 2 items were broken. According to their policies, I had a right to open a dispute after 45 days and I have to wait for that long to do it. But they didn't help me at all. All I want is to get a refund and do not understand what exactly takes you so long to make this decision.

Light In The Box probably my own fault

It's probably my own stupidity, but, I didn't create an account when I was buying from your site/store. I paid extra for the express delivery but still haven't received anything on my end. If someone could get in contact with me so we can find out what has happened, that'd be lovely.

Unsure how you'd automatically know how to get in contact with me so, my e-mail address is [protected]@hotmail.com

Regards.

Light In The Box projector ch-85

I have purchased projector through lighting he box.com and received my item on 17th August 2017. When opened the packing, no packing list in that box, but received projector, short TV cable, socket and paper without full information about installation guidance, on that paper no projector name/ number. Finally I checked up with YouTube and other sources, I could not get any information about that projector. I spent more than ₹8500 on that projector but used less. I feel there is no power adaptor and proper manual for installation and maintenance. Please provide me the missing
items/ information in full, projector manufactured company name and address with mail id for future clarifications if any. Please guide me in all respects. If possible please send installation process video and booklets full for my mail id. [protected]@yahoo.com.

Light In The Box lace synthetic hair wigs

I ordered two Lace synthetic hair wigs paid extra for 2-3 day shipping and they took my money out right away from the bank. I'm suppose to be getting my order today and now they email me saying it has not been sent out yet bc they want a copy of a bill like fpl or water which makes no sence. I paid for my products and extra and it still has yet to be even shipped. Wtf ? And no contact number for them really ? A lot of nicely priced products on site but doesn't seem like a reliable company. If my product isn't here by tomorrow I will do All I can to discredit this company.

Light In The Box product

I don't know where should I complaint about these cheaters. They haven't deliver my order.It's been more than 2 months and I didn't get my order. I have lodged several complaints in their site but they are giving me stupid excuses. Even I checked their tracker and it's showing me that the order returned back to their origin (China) but still they are making excuses. I don't know what to do.

Light In The Box dress

I seldom order anything from online, and now I know why. Ordered a dress from Light in the Box. DO NOT EVER USE THIS company!

The dress did arrive in a timely fashion, but, it wasn't the dress I ordered. It was advertised as cotton, but, it is, in actuality, some sort of really poor quality synthetic.

I ordered a 2X...I wear and 18 normally. I held the dress up when I opened the package and realized, although marked on the label as 2X, it was probably no more than a size 4. I couldn't even get it over my head.

Took the dress to one of my girlfriends who wears a size 12, and, she, too, was unable to pull the dress down past her neck.

So, I tried to find a phone number to deal with the problem...none available, except in China. I have followed their procedure per return policy via email, but, after reading all the reviews and complaints about this company...why don't we ever do that BEFORE ordering...I have come to the conclusion that I have lost my $25. Haven't received any response at all, even though they claim they respond within 24 hours...it's been two weeks.

So, lesson learned...do not deal with this company again...than goodness I only ordered one dress, or I'd be out a lot more money. Shameful.

Light In The Box failed refund & shipping

This is an incident involving a $543 package that I ordered online from Light in the box. This company appeared to have a variety of good products online, but the moment that I sent the purchase, I have come to regret the decision more and more. I ordered the package on the 30th of June. It is currently the 10th of August, and I still do not have my package! Throughout the entire waiting process, I've messaged Light in the box faculty countless times. Whenever I messaged them, the responder seemed agitated saying that I didn't understand their policy of how long things take to arrive and that "for my sake, they hope it arrives quickly." Even though they told me that it would be a 3-5 day shipping time and that processing takes a few days, it is literally more than 5 weeks later and I still do not have my product.

The package that I ordered is a road bike that I need to use to get to and from work. The fact that I don't have it has compromised my ability to work more hours, and on top of that I am short $543. I asked for a refund, and now they're telling to wait 60 days for my product without acknowledging my request of a refund. 60 DAYS. I want my money back, and this is so unprofessional.

Light In The Box nail art products

I placed an order (#[protected]) for 14 items and a total of $70.12, on July 24, 2017. I paid extra for expedited shipping which was 4-8 days delivery plus tracking information. It is now August 4, 2017, I don't get any specific tracking information when click the track option on their website. I have contacted them more than 4 times asking about this issue I get blanketed "sorry for inconvenience check the tracking information etc" basically nothing useful. The responses almost sound robotic and when I look at the status of my inquiries I see this message: August 03, 2017 05:36 PM [protected] Package Not Received Resolved [protected]. How can they say my issue is resolved when it is anything but resolved? I want my shipping money refunded and I want to know if I am actually going to receive this order and if I don't get satisfactory response I want my full order amount refunded to me.
I thank anyone who can help me regarding this issue in advance. I don't want to have to consult legal support but I will if pushed.
