Light In The Box Charged twice for same order

Ordered 2 ladies cardigans on4-6-22 the order didn't seem to go through so I placed the order again not knowing that the order had gone through.i received my cardigans about 2-3weeks later great so I thought only to find out they had changed me twice so instead of £45.00 English Pounds they had taken £90.10 English Pounds from my building society Account

I tried to get in touch with customer service but all I got was something about a Ticket? All I want is the £45.00 putting back in to my account.i lost the order number I'm afraid it was Light in the box from Amsterdam who took it out

Light In The Box My refund

I ordered a few dresses from Light IN The Box. Shortly afterward I changed my mind and had UPS ship the package back to them. I never received nor picked up the package from UPS. I then notified Light In The Box that this package is being returned back to them for a full refund. They then informed me that they do not refund money back on purchased orders. That was never stated in their policy agreement. After arguing going back and forth with them, their customer service then apologized for any inconveniences they may have caused me and agreed to refund me back my money. It's been a couple of months now and I still have not been refunded. They have their products and my money. I want my money back. Ticket Id: [protected]

Desired outcome: Still haven't been refunded. I want my money back.

Light In The Box Linen womens dress

Dress purchased in size small. Was so big, I could fit 3 of me in dress.

When I tried to return, was told it may cost me more for return postage to China than the cost of the dress. Something like $30 to return for USPS. I was told to keep dress (that I can't wear) for a very small discount on next order. This "store" feels like a scam and I would never order from them again.

Buyer beware.

Total waste of hard earned money.

Desired outcome: Refund with small return charge. Dress was mailed from somewhere in USA

Light In The Box Order Number [protected]

I ordered the following items

2 dresses - Not fit for purpose (Very inferior quality)

3 Necklaces - 1 has just broken

I have complained the first thing I am offered is 30% discount on the dresses, then when I say but the dresses cannot be worn as they are rags I get offered 50%. These items of clothing are only fit for the bin and now one of the necklaces are broken to.

I want full refund for the dresses and a replacement necklace as I do like it but its clearly poorly made.

regards

Suzi Thomas

Desired outcome: Refund for dresses

Light In The Box Dresses

I ordered a MOB dress -- two different ones. They offer a "7 day return with no reason" policy. The dresses were stock sizes not custom. They are telling me no return because all dresses are made to order. Basically I'm out $300 with 2 ugly poor quality dresses. NEVER NEVER NEVER ORDER FROM HERE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE.

Light In The Box I can not get to return my order!

I ordered 2 t shirts, which took weeks to get to me, and they are too small. I have tried for 2 days to try and get a return form and address and they make it impossible to do so.

Also, they want me to take a video of me wearing the t shirts to show they are too small. Ridiculous. if you can not do this you can not go any further for a form!

Also, the time I have spent on the computer trying to chat to someone, or thinking I have got it all wrong, is absolute madness. They obviously do not want any returns.

Desired outcome: To send my items back and get refunded for them.

Light In The Box Ordered camera of 126 euros & they sent a cheap product, ask to send it back paying for transport costs/no return docs

The company seems to operate fraudulently

I ordered a camera for 126 euros and light in the box / mini in the box sent a cheap product, per attached picture

On their website they then ask to document with pictures the proof but their website does not work properly to upload pictures. So you can’t do it. You then ask them where to send an email

You send them an email with proof attached

that person does not reply on the email.

They continue to answer online but ask you to resend the wrong product without a specific courier service nor the proper documentation that goes with it. They can’t provide a return label !?

then they ask the client sends it back paying for transport costs of 30-40 dollars without a proper document that goes it; no pick up service ; no return label.

It appears fraudulent. It is not professional.

When a company sends a wrong product it is up to that company to arrange for a pick up service that ensures the product arrived safely back to the company. It is up to that company to pay for transport costs.

That company needs to perform the refund

They ask to send a package back in a way chances are real it will be confiscated. This company asks to return a product without a return label

It is up to the company to pay the transport return costs , refund and pick up the parcel.

Desired outcome: professional pick up of the wrong parcel at the expense of the company that sent wrong product with proper documentation -Complete refund of 126 euros

Jun 16, 2022 4:07 am EDT

Still no reply from the company. They closed the ticket on their website without solving it.

The propose a solution which they know is unfair financially and risky / will most probably not result in a refund.

I want my money back

Jun 15, 2022 8:34 am EDT

Normally for other companies when they pick up a return item it costs them only 1 euros/ dollar so it is very abnormal to want to charge 30-40 dollars for sending a wrong product to a customer

Wrong design Jacket (too tight sleeves) is subject to return back as per terms and conditions written on the purchase order. Using size chart provided, I ordered a Jacket and it would have fit except the arm holes were way too small (which is not listed in the size chart).

It was delivered women’s Jacket - with zipper tab on the left side (it was ordered man’s Jacket). For man’s Jacket the zipper tab shall be on the right side. Below see explanation of feature between men’s and women’s zipper tub.

The shirt delivered to me is not a Henley product. It does not resemble the catalogue product other than it’s a t shirt with some of the correct wording.

Ordered [protected]:12:24, Order# [protected], paid through PayPal Express

Both front and back of the shirt has BUIE BU printed instead of BUILT IN.

I am returning this particular product as it is not the garment advertised.

Light In The Box Dress not as advertised

I ordered a dress from Light In The Box and it arrived after an extremely long wait only to find it was nothing at all like the dress in the photo and was a very cheap and poorly made item. I tried to return it, and originally they offered 3 options (a. A 30% discount voucher for future products bought with them if I kept the dress. b. 20% refund and keep the dress. or c. Return and refund) but was given all sorts of reasons as to why this couldn't happen once I'd made my choice, which was to return it for a total refund. I was told that it was a customised and therefore non returnable item. It was just a standard off the rack dress (not customised at all!)

Desired outcome: I WISH TO RECEIVE A REFUND.

Light In The Box Purchased 4 t-shirts

The vendor, Lightinthebox, failed to deliver the t shirts I order on time by April 28,2022. The USPS tracking advised me the delivery was delayed as of May 6, 2022. Therefore, I disputed the credited cards charges and asked for a refund.

However, I was surprised to be notified by the Dispute Center of my credit card company no credit was awarded to me, because based on the vendor provided delivery records, it claims the shirts were delivered to a mail box on April 28. The vendor forged a delivery record, which was contradictory to the USPS track records I had, and I never received the delivery, as it is delivered to a PO Box not to my home address. The vendor lied and tried to get away with it. My advice is : Do not do any business with the Lightinthebox!

Desired outcome: The vendor Lightinthebox should be honest and give me the refund $90.52 since it never delivered my order of the Tshirts to me ..

Light In The Box Women dresses

VERY cheap quality! They don’t know the difference between cotton and polyester based on the description and what you get. Some of the buttons were actually part of the pattern on the dress and not real. They give you a 40% refund or a reward to buy more cheap clothing in the future. Shipping it back to China to return it costs $80-100! So you’re stuck with clothing I’m embarrassed to even donate. Customer service is also very lacking in service. Purchased April 9. Took 6 weeks to receive 4 of the 5 items. Do NOT use this company!

Desired outcome: 100% refund of all 4 dresses.
