Good customer service
November 7, 2023

I have ordered multiple times with Lightinthebox. Initially it was a little difficult to reach customer service. However, once I reached them I was able to resolve my issue quickly with the last order and was satisfied with the service. Overall I like the products for the cheap prices.

No returns
November 7, 2023

Despite saying you can return for any reason within 7 days, that has not been my experience.
No return at all has been my experience.
Unfortunate.

Shoddy Products and Untrustworthy!
November 7, 2023

My purchase with Light in the Box is one of the worst Internet shopping experiences that I have ever had, and I have been making purchases on the Internet for decades.
My terrible experience with this company started in June of 2023 when I ordered a pair of sandals from them. I diligently followed the instructions on their site to measure my feet. After a long delay, the sandals arrived and they were too large. Either the instructions on the web site were incorrect or the sandals were not made according to their prescribed sizing.
I immediately contacted the company about the problem. They were truly uncooperative and initially resisted any attempt to exchange the sandals. They offered me partial credits for future purchases instead. Finally, after a lot of back and forth, they agreed to make an exchange if I would return the sandals in their original packing with tracking delivery but not using DHL or FedEx. I also had to send a photo of my feet with a ruler indicating my foot size. They agreed that they would send me a pair one size smaller and refund the shipping costs to me upon their receipt of the sandals in the required condition.
I sent the sandals utilizing Canada post with tracking at a significant cost. Canada post shipping charges are significantly higher than DHL or FedEx. They arrived in Chinese customs awaiting pickup by Light in the Box. Finally after weeks of waiting, Light in the Box agreed to send me sandals a size smaller. BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE the shipping costs as they had previously agreed. Instead they offered me a credit for half of the shipping costs with a short expiry date, as if I would ever purchase anything from them again.
I received the new sandals and one shoe is slightly smaller than the other. I assume that they were rejects. I have never had problems with my feet sizes previously.
The treatment that I received from this company is a sharp contrast to companies like Amazon and other north american retailers. This process took approximately 5 months! Not only is Light in the Box uncooperative in making exchanges but they do not follow through on their promises. They definitely cannot be trusted.

Great Shopping Experience
November 7, 2023

My orders are always processed and delivered in a timely manner. The quality of the products I have ordered is very high, and I have never had the need to return anything. I find the selection wide and sometimes it is hard to decide what to buy. Keep up the good work!

Extremely a poor and unsatisfactory Return Policy…Despite paying for the "Gold" membership… when I needed to do a simple return, I had multiple back and forth with a rep that was EXTREMELY both confusing & convoluted… not to mention I had to pay OVER $50 out of pocket to do what should've been a simple return within the US.

And I don't Not wish to do business with Light In The Box ever again I'll be canceling my membership as soon as my refund is issued and will be advising my 8000 YouTube and Podcast followers not to use this service. When there are much better ones that offer free shipping AND free return's. (Amazon, TEMU, SHEIN)

Fin ting og tøj til prisen
November 7, 2023

Jeg er meget tilfreds med, mine handler hos LightInTheBox, Jeg kunne ønske mig, at de mail jeg får fra dem er på dansk, så jeg ikke skal have hjælp, når jeg skal henvende mig med reklamationer. De få gange det er sket, har ellers være gode oplevelser.
