The color was not as pictured, it is ugly. This is 100% polyester and does not fall the way cotton does. The photos used imply cotton. I used the sizing guide, and these are HUGE. It took a lot of searching on the site to find return instructions. The search bar is useless in this regard. The return process id archaic and draconian, as if designed to discourage returns, if not to make it impossible. When i finally got to fill out the return application, A) it will not accept my photos and B) the submit button doesn't work. I have photographed the entire process to submit to the CA Atty General's office, Department of Consumer Affairs. DON'T waste your money!

Excellent
October 10, 2023

I ordered an item very easily after I documented myself. The price is very good for many products. The delivery was good and easy to track permanently. Considering the distance from the sender to the destination, 3 weeks seems to me to be a reasonable term. I recommend shopping here.

Exchange for a trench coat that didn't fit.
August 15, 2023

I contacted the company and explained the large coat didn't fit and like to exchange it for an extra large and they were agreeable. At present, I returned the coat that I received and have been assured when the package I returned is received they will ship me another. Sadly because of Canada Post high price in sending packages abroad, it cost me 88.00. But nevertheless, I believe the exchange is worth it.

I could literally put my finger through it.
It was supposed to have native North American art on it but what it actually had was lines of swastikas on it.
I pointed out it was highly offensive but the answer was you must be a whining jew?
Is that relevant?

We purchased 4 of these light fittings and we are more than happy with them. They are 4w per light and are adequate for what we needed. However, if you want them as a main light, then being 4w each they most probably would not be of any use. We just love them. Here in the UK we have found nothing at all anywhere near as good and as different.

Broken Jewelry
May 16, 2018

I ordered 7 necklaces - 2 arrived broken. I ordered a 2X blouse that is probably a 14/16. I know I can return, but by the time I send it back and wait for new merchandise, it's just too time consuming. I will continue to buy from local vendors.

Dear Barbara T,
This is supervisor from LightInTheBox.
I feel sorry that 2 necklace were broken during transportation. Please don't worry, as we can help with a return for a replacement or a refund either in case you prefer to purchase the item locally.

About the size, we do apologize for the confusion but we provide a clear size chart on the item which lists all the measurements for each size. As such, if you follow our size chart the item will be fitting, whereas if you order your local size some difference may be found.

But even in this case we can help arrange a return, as we accept a return for any non customize item within 14 days, no questions asked.

I would like to help and I have raised this ticket for you, please will you follow up? https://www.lightinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=ticket_after_detail&id=18238662
Thank you very much.

Resolution of issue
August 11, 2017

Resolution of issue by customer services. At the end I got the item I wanted at reasonable price. I bought a bicycle jersey. Good product.
Initially I did not get the item despite the tracking says that I have received it. It took a while to wait to see if it was just delayed. Later the customer servece recognized my frustration and decided to send a item again which didn't take much time. Happy with the result at the end.

Refund my money
September 9, 2017

I ordered on 14th of June, still waiting for it. I raised many tickets but all they say is keep waiting. Useless website. They are making money this way, they will not deliver your order and keep your money. I asked for refund still customer care person is asking me to wait for 2 more months. Shameful. I HATE THIS WEBSITE. I would have read reviews before ordering, silly me.

Size chart not accurate
March 26, 2022

I purchased a dress a larger size than i would buy at the store based on there chart. When I received the dress it is the size of a child that maybe 8 years old. I'm only 4'11' tall and average at 100lbs. So I did a return slip and they said it has to be sent to china because of the pandemic they were forced to close there where houses in the U.S. So to receive a refund on the $40 dress it will cost my $60 to return to china with tracking and using there carrier. There customer service rep was horrible and sent a letter saying basically keep it and they will give me a 10% refund on my card. What a scam! Buyer beware of the return policy and what it will cost if you have to return anything.

Nothing like the picture
August 1, 2023

I thought the product image was not a true representation of the product I received. I explained this to Customer Service and provided images to make my case. My LightInTheBox account was credited with the full amount within 48 hours thereof and I opted to initiate a withdrawal (back to the original Credit Card) which takes 3 - 4 business days. Also, I have been informed that I may keep the product. I must say, Customer Service has been Top Notch.

I placed my order around December 21,2015. LightInTheBox shows order status updates: December 21,2105 pending, December 25,2015 payment received, December 25,2015 order shipped. I contacted them via email customer service and was told they would respond to me via my email address. I haven't heard anything from them nor have I received my order. It should be a law against what it appear they are doing. Taking people money... not fulfilling the orders and not responding when there are questions concerning orders not received. I plan to take this to another level. This site should not be available for placing orders. We need to see what can be done to have this site blocked /removed so no one else will be a victim of losing their money by placing an order.

Do not buy anything from this company, when you contact them to return something. They offer you a 50% refund and to keep the product instead.
If you dont want this, they string you along for days until you finally find out you have to send the product back to Poland.
If you decide that you cant be bothered anymore they refuse the 50% refund

This company are shocking!

Absolute Scam. Do not buy from this company.
February 4, 2022

I ordered a dress for an event - I PURPOSELY ordered two sizes larger than my regular size because the item was coming from China - even though by their stock measurements, my regular size should have fit me. I wasn't taking any chances, figured I could have it altered by my regular tailor. Dress arrives, it doesn't fit. Too small. I contact customer service for a refund and am told this was a "made to order" dress and was not eligible for a full refund (minus the shipping costs). I was told I could keep the dress (which why, it doesn't fit) - and either get 40% towards another purchase or a refund equal to 30% of the dress price. How is a stock size a "made to order" dress? They took my money, sent a dress that did not match their sizing guide and now they get to keep my money and I get to keep a dress that doesn't fit? How is that not a scam? I will NEVER do business with this company again. Legitimately a scam company.
