When items were delivered they were faulty, as the picture shows the bulbs were hanging out of the frame. New batteries used but lights did not work. Lightinthebox are ignoring my request to return the items and get a refund.

My products were very good. Take note on the sizes because they are smaller than the standards in America. The problem was that it took seven weeks to arrive. I hope that the company could work on their shipping and delivery area

Graphic T-shirts and Shorts
August 4, 2023

Placed two orders, first order shipped as two-part order. Second part of order one and order # 2 arrived at same time. Everything was great except for some slight defects to the left sleeve stitching. Other than that issue, everything was good.

Took long and cheap
October 16, 2020

They took a lot longer shipping out then they said and shipping is expensive. Not true to the size chart they provide. Feels thin and cheap. They will not accept returns. In my opinion this was a horrible deal. I bout two different items from them on one order and both are bad.

Worst company ever
January 30, 2022

Do not order from this company! Missing an item from my order. No way possible to contact them. Their customer service leads you to no where! The item I did receive is nothing like the picture. The dress looked so pretty & bright colors in their picture. I didn't even recognize it when I received it. So faded out. So disappointed!

I ordered men's medium size but they are not European size - trousers match description apart from sizing very small - not same as European.
Company have refunded in full ( following negative comments on site) so issue resolved fairly by them and as agreed.
Trousers were fine, delivered as expected but SIZING is an issue beware of this when ordering

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I will follow up your case.

We regret to hear the pants don't fit. But please be advised we are a company serving customers all over the world. So we can't sell the pants in EU sizes only.

In order to help customers pick the correct sizes clothes, we sell our clothes with specific measurements. You need to measure yourself first and then pick the correct size by checking the specific measurements stated in the size chart on each product page. If you just pick normal size without refer to the measurements, the clothes are always go small. We appreciate your kind understanding in advance.

After checking, the pants' measurements you ordered are as follows:

Size M- Waist: 28¼-34¾ inch, Hips: 38½ inch, Length: 39¼ inch

If you did not check the measurements when ordering and realized that you picked wrong size for the pants, we apologize for that. While we'd like to help you resolve the problem with our greatest effort.

I had conducted new Ticket ID =22647816 in our ticket center and provide new solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply and let us know your decision. Thank you for your cooperation.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
November 13, 2020

Two sets of outdoor lights arrived quite quickly and were put up in the summer months but not used. One set of lights has now given up after only a few days use. Wrote to ask for a replacement and its only a 30 day window. Will not be buying from them again.

Dear Helen L,

We regret to read about this bad experience. We are truly sorry for what has happened and would like to make things up with.

Can you please tell me the order number? The warranty for most of our products is 30 days, which cover manufacturing defects or damage during transport. Once this delay passed our supplier will not accept to refund or replace the products

However we always try to help our customers case by case. Please tell me you order number. As you you've only used the lights for a few days, we will try our best to accomodate you. Please reply us here or through your account.

We wish you a nice weekend!

Order placed on 2/13. It's now 2/26 and order still is "processing." Items were supposed to ship within 6 days at latest. Customer service says items probably won't ship til March. Don't waste your time with LightInTheBox.com.

Update 2/27… the items finally were given a tracking number today. And of course… the items are shipping from China and states arriving in 3 weeks! The product information page said the items would ship in 4-7 business days. 4-7 business days? This is ridiculous. So I ordered on 2/13/21 and the eta is 3/20/21!?! I just wish they would have been honest on the product information pages for these items. Don't state that the items will process in a few days and deliver a week after. I expected 2 weeks max. Instead it's going to be 5 weeks. That is unacceptable. Never again. There's a reason that the majority of these reviews are 1 star. And I would guess that the 1 star reviews are the real reviews…

Dear customer,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. But we are afraid that you misunderstood the shipping time of your order.

Please be noted 4-7 business days is for shipping time only, not including the processing time. Before your order is shipped off, we have to process your order and put all your items through its strict quality control tests. This was why your order could not be shipped as soon as it was placed.

And due to the Chinese Spring Festival Holidays in February, the processing time was a little longer than normal. But we had stated the processing time of your order on the product page. We are sorry that you did not notice this processing time when you placed this order.

However, if you still need more help about your order, please kindly advise us your Order Number. We will try our best to help you resolve any problem you have.

Your kindly understanding and cooperation are highly appreciated.

Sincerely
LightInTheBox Customer Service

It's been 3 weeks since I placed an order. The app claims it was shipped, even though when you track through USPS.com, it still is showing that they have not even received the package still! I googled the site to see that it was a legit company to my serious shock due to the fact that so many reviews claim really fast shipping. Considering it's been over 3 weeks and I still haven't received my order shreds that narrative apart. The Post Office tells me they haven't even received the package yet, while the app claims it was shipped 12 days ago! Unless its coming from China, which it states its not as it is coming from NY, it should never take 2 weeks plus to ship anything through the Post Office inside the US. I'm still not sure at this point if I will ever receive my order. Horrible processing & shipping procedures in place at LightInTheBox

I bought quite a few dresses at LightInTheBox lately. Some items quality in general is so poor and disappointing.

The return policy is a scam as need post back to China. The postage is rather expensive, I asked a postal address in Australia, never received a reply. Customer service is dreadful, they use automated generic emails.

I ordered a pair of childrens shoes and a pink dress. The shoes were the wrong size and dress was a pair of trousers instead. I've tried contacting customer service for a full refund and was told they don't issue returns labels and I'd need to pay the postage.

I paid £50 for the two items plus an additional £7 for insurance (which there is no mention of on the order.

Check the pictures out below of what I ordered and what was actually sent.

Complete con and waste of money.

This was my first time ever ordering from Lightinthebox, and I was pleasantly surprised... I ordered several necklaces, earrings, and rings, all for what averaged out to be around $2 per item or less, with free shipping included. My order came faster than I had thought it would, and I was very pleased with the quality of most of the jewelry that I ordered. They are things that I will wear, as well as give for gifts!

Don't buy in this website, this company it's a rip off. I order six irons. It took a one month. When finally I get it, inside the package it was two empty bags and the four irons, I ordered size Small. Size small looks like XL, the material was the most disgusting thing I ever seen in my life. No return label, no way send any massage or contact. I waste $150.00. Thank you for ripping people like that.

I have never made a bad review but for this I had to. The products are total junk. Two of them came broken. Try contacting them they have no number listed. They want you to create a ticket and tell you someone will get back to you. It's been four days no reply. I plan an informing a lot of people do not waste your money buying from them. I am 100% dissatisfied. What you see on the site is not what you get. I will also be posting this on facebook and instagram.

While waiting for my order to arrive I tried to contact customer service but was never able to do so. Their website does not open properly. Now that I received my order, very late, I may say, I wrote them about exchanging for a different size. They want me to pay out of pocket to send back to China which is more than 1/2 of the value of the merchandise. They are encouraging me to keep the merchandise (which does not fit) and as a "reward" they offer a 10% or 20% refund of the merchandise value. I cannot believe how any business can betray their customers in such manner. They claim they had to close their overseas warehouses, yet the package came from California and not China. Please do buy from these people. They will not do anything to accommodate your needs. None of these options are agreeable to me. I guess I must go on a diet so that the clothes will eventually fit me one of these days!
