Light In The Box Agree I deserve a refund but will only give me 10% of the £49 I spent

Bought two bikinis they came up very small, I’m an 8uk I ordered a medium and a large neither fitted both very very small. Very difficult returns policy and eventually had my return validated, only to find they said I had to return the goods to China! The cost was more than the goods, so they said they would only give me 10% of my £49 back. I’m disgusted and will be reporting this to trading standards, and any other body or tv program I can. Stealing from honest people don’t buy. I’m sure they will reply with a smooth younger explaining this all away.LIES

Desired outcome: Refund my money

Light In The Box False Advertising - Company's Refusal to Undergo Refund Process

I ordered an expensive dress and the dress was completely different than advertised and off colored. I asked for the refund process as soon as I received the package and the online customer service response keeps offering me 15% back to "avoid any hassle for returning." WHAT? Its going on a week now and I haven't heard anything but this repeated failure to honor their own refund policy. The website states plainly that refunds must be processed within 7 days of receiving the package. What is going on here?

Desired outcome: FULL RefundTicket ID: [protected] Order Number: [protected]

Light In The Box Returns and Customer Service

I received two items of clothing from Light In The Box. One item was a completely different colour to that advertised and the other was approximately two sizes larger than the size advertised on the site. I have created a ticket on their website and have asked for a full refund on the basis that I will return the goods, unused, as new. They have offered a 15% refund on the basis that the goods are not returned, which is not acceptable to me, as I do not wish to keep the goods. Despite clearly stating my requirements several times, via the website ticket service, I have again today received an email offering a 15% refund. I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this problem, going forward. Thank you.

Desired outcome: I would like a full refund on the basis that I will return the items, as new.

Light In The Box Dress with jacket

Ordered a dress with a lace jacket which was expensive. Jacket was not in the package. Wrong size and poor quality. Went straight to their customer service for a refund. I'm getting know where with this company. Everyday I'm asking for return instructions. They keep on offering a discounted price to keep the dress instead of a full refund. After declining the offers they are now not getting back to me.

Desired outcome: Full refund

Light In The Box Unable to return clothes that do not fit

I received 3 dresses in one order (no, [protected])

I have tried to start the returns process, I have been issued with a ticket for one dress which is valid for only 7 days.

They have closed my case regarding the other 2 dresses. I have requested returns tickets multiple times but they are being ignored. I need to send each item back with its own returns number otherwise they wont refund. Obviously I want to send them all back in one package.

you will see in the photo that 1 dress is marked as resolved, This just means they have issued me a returns ticket for that ite, not a refund.

Desired outcome: refund

Light In The Box Lightinthebox

The products I ordered were of poor quality and the message I received from the company when I tried to obtain a refund was abrupt and suggested I was at fault in the size I ordered. Two of the four items fitted perfectly so the size was not an issue. Finding how to ask for a refund/return was very difficult and then you have to pay postage which is expensive. Not impressed.

Desired outcome: For the refund process to be easier and the fact you can't realistically return an item to be clearly stated on the website.

Light In The Box Slipcovers duty tax

I ordered some slipcovers for my sofa which i am pleased with, but before i could receive them, i had to pay £59.88 duty tax which i was not informed about and came as a shock. I could have refused the good but after paying nearly £200 i was concerned about getting a refund. The date i paid the duty tax was 28 January and i attach a copy of the invoice below. Having to pay this duty tax on top of the cost has made the item rather expensive and if i had known there would be extra cost involved i would not have bought them. I have tried to contact the company direct but have not heard anything, hence why i am now trying another route. All i want is the duty tax refunded to me as stated in the terms and conditions i have now found in the Company's correspondence. Please can you assist me. Thank you.

Desired outcome: To have the duty tax of £59.88 refunded to me.

Light In The Box Ticket [protected]

Purchased 5XL waistcoat which was a terribly thin material with threads coming off it from all areas. Buttons were of the poorest quality and measurements were not true too size.

Too return to China would be extremely expensive and cost half the price of the waistcoat.

In normal situations from a decent supplier a Returns Note should be issued.!

The quality of the waistcoat is not my fault, and the Supplier should recognise this and Refund

Thank you

Desired outcome: Full Refund

Light In The Box Company will not respond so I can send back address that did not fit my wife

Company will not respond so I can send back address that did not fit my wife. I have called them repeatedly without any response and I want to have a refund and send back the address with a return label sent by them. And the color is way too bright for my wife and it looks much more muted in the advertisement so there were several reasons for not liking the dress. Thank you so much for your help, Ross Fabregas/[protected]@hotmail.com
