Light In The Box Undelivered orders

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I would like to this complaint regarding my order which I did not receive and after getting no help from the customer service centre by writing to me to contact the courier when I do not have any direct obligation with them. I felt so embarrassed and angry for customer service to tell me that I should contact the courier in case I did not receive my order. Yet, I do not have any logistic arrangement with the courier.

My address is
Michael Omwony
Nijenoord Allee, Hoevestein, 239-16A8, Wageningen, Netherlands.

Date: 2022-01-05 Order [protected] Order total: € 38.37.

When I tracked the order, the courier indicates it is delivered and lied by making a remark "Recipient moved or unknown, please contact the sender". The above indicated is my current address and I have been at home the whole day from 2022-01-12 to date without moving out of my residence.

If the claim made by the courier was the truth "Recipient moved or unknown" then I would HAVE NOT received my order number order: [protected]. The courier came and delivered my order to the same address used above, for the order: [protected].

Thirdly, the customer service tells me the package is in transit but contradicts the remark.

Please, I kindly request your assistance or in event that it cannot be addressed then I request for refund for the same.

I will be grateful for your assistance.

Thank you,
Michael Omwony

Desired outcome: Deliver or refund

Light In The Box Poor quality items - want a refund

I ordered two items from light in the box on January 1. A garter set for my wedding and 10 x mini warm white fairy lights.

The garter set has absolutely shocking quality. The sequins look cheap. The tulle looks cheap. The elastic has exposed threads and seams. I can't believe I paid $30 for this. What a waste of money. It's not even worth $5. There's absolutely no way I can use this.

The fairy lights have poor quality wire - it looks like it is going to break. It's really flimsy and thin. It just won't work at all with the centrepieces I'm doing for my wedding.

Seeking a refund. Company offered me a 10% refund. No. You sold the products to someone in Australia. Australian Consumer Law states that for a major fault they must offer a full refund.

Desired outcome: I want a 100% refund for the poor quality items.

Light In The Box Returns

The Wonguns have yet again found a way to be the cheap fks that they are. Permanently display ‘in transit' so you can't open a return.

I kick myself everytime when I go to a Wong website. Must try harder: only ourselves to blame.

Desired outcome: Never using a Wong Website.

Light In The Box Cost me $135.88 to return item and they won't refund

I had ordered 2 3-in-1 jackets. One for myself (normally a medium) and 1 for my mother (normally a large).

The jackets I ordered were a large for myself and an extra large for my mother. I ordered a size larger just in case. When they arrived, they were so small that the extra large was way too small for me.

The company used DHL Express to deliver it to me but emailed me that i could not use DHL Express, Fedex or any other cheaper express means of shipping. I had to use regular postal service.

First of all, it cost me $135.60CAD to ship to China and it could take up to 3 months.

When I emailed a copy of the receipt and the tracking number, I was informed that I would have to in a sense EAT my $135.60.

First of all, I went to Light in the Box Canada website and it is not written that the items were coming from China. The price tags are in US dollars.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE CROOKS!

Desired outcome: Full refund of purchase and return cost=$346.48

Light In The Box Refund policy not honored.

I ordered a Mermaid Trumpet dress from Lightinthe box web site on November 12, 2021 and received on December 2, 2021 USA date which would be December 3, 2021 overseas. Order number [protected]. Order total, US $186.16 dollars. LITB Customer Service ticket # [protected].

The company Size Chart for the dress measurements displayed on the web site was incorrect which was used to order the dress. The dress ordered was not custom made as indicated by Min, Customer Service Executive, per email received on Saturday, December 4. I had mentioned in my email to Customer Service that there is an extra charge if the dress was customer made as noted on the web site for $20.99, which did not apply to my order. I emphasized that the measurements used where according to the Size Guide posted on the Lighinthe box web site. The dress does not meet my expectations. I wanted a refund for the dress purchase.
I also mentioned that according to the Lightinthe box Return Policy, there is a, "7 day No Reason Return, " Section.
The product is brand new which I had just received in the postage on December 2, 2021 USA time. On December 3, 2021, I sent an email to Lighinthe box web site to Customer Service requesting a refund along with a photo of the dress which was required to proceed, after submitting the information, to receive a refund ticket from Customer Service. I received an automatic email response on December 3, 2021, from Lightinthe box website that Customer Service would respond to my ticket within 1 working day.
On December 4, 2021, I sent another email to Mia, Customer Service Executive and received the response, "Kindly note that whether you choose the standard size OR customized size, they are still considered as Made-To-Measure on our website." "As an appreciation for your support for your support in shopping with us, may we offer you a REWARD of 10% of your item's value of ($15.75)? … For your non-refundable item, you may consider giving away to a friend/family member if you do not wish to keep the item."
Lighinthe box Return Policy states false claims for return refunds.

Desired outcome: A credit refund to my credit card for the purchase price of $157.49 which is, minus the shipping cost and shipping insurance automatically applied to my order.

Light In The Box Light in the box won't refund me

I ordered a $40 dress from this company. I ordered it on November 5, 2021.
This is my information through the company:
Ticket ID: [protected]
Order Number: [protected]
The item finally arrived around three weeks later. It was horribly made and the size was extremely wrong. I tried to give the item back but because it costs more to mail the item back, they will not accept refunds. Furthermore, they won't even refund me and said they could only give me $8 in store credit. Of course it would be ridiculous to give them any more of my money. A very dishonest company!

Desired outcome: refund my $40

I ordered a shirt from LightInTheBox before and my delivery came in time, now I have another package from LightInTheBox coming in and it's very late. The package was marked as received, but when I checked the tracking it says it's still in transit. I hope I receive my package soon so I know that I didn't get ripped off. I trusted this site because like I said, my first order arrived on time, now my other package is already 2 weeks late.

Light In The Box The product came with damage. It is impossible to create a refund ticket

I ordered a sofa cover in the lightinthebox.com with DHL expediate shipment. The order was sent and received on time. However, I was so disappointed when I opened the package and saw there is a big hole damage in the product. It is so damaged and should never pass the quality control. So I log in the system and tried to contact the customer service and request the return-refund. After many times trials, the system never created a return ticket. I looked through the whole website and tried to find the customer service email or phone number to contact without success. So disappointed and never to buy from this website again.

Light In The Box Sizes are too small

I truly don't think that they stitch the correct size labels to any clothing. They probably have some underpaid person who does not know what they are doing.
******* this is the most crooked company that i've ever dealt with.*******
they ship from their us warehouse but i had to return the sizes that were wrong, to china. It cost me 150% more than the cost of goods to ship to china. That was 3 months ago, still don't have my refund.

Light In The Box Jacket purchased from them

I purchased a jacket on 15th September, and when I received it it was not the same colour as the picture and was very small.
I started a return and they came back to me to offer me a discount of 10 % if I kept the item and did not return it. As it cost me £80, and did not fit at all I refused this offer.
They then came back to me to say I could then have 30% off the cost if I kept it. I refused again. They then came back with return details to return to China. They made out this would take 30 days and there would be no refund until the item was received in excellent condition. They also said that customs may not clear the item .
I am really upset it was a lot of money to pay and now looks like I may lose the £80 with no jacket to show for it. How can they do this? The package came from a Birmingham address, not from [protected]@ Have I been scammed? Are you able to advise me please?
