Scam company
July 29, 2023

I needed to return shirt. I ordered a small and it was too big. The return process was horrible. They only offered a partial refund. To send it back was going to be more than purchase.They would not help with shipping. They gave me $7 and I paid 38 total. Buyers beware, don't order from this company.

Light In The Box Update
July 30, 2023
Updated review

On the upside, I have now been reimbursed by Megha, so that is helpful. My reviews still are not on their site, though, so just be aware that even if an item has a 5 star rating, chances are good that any negative reviews have been removed by the business.

Date of experience: July 29, 2023

I ordered two tops from Light in the Box online, and both were very poor quality. One is so bad that the fabric is actually stamped with 3 large black B's in ink (2 in the front, one in the back), it's too big, and the fabric feels like the material they make parachutes out of. With that damage, I cannot even give this away. The other came with a modified collar of poor quality that they effectively have blurred on their website images so that you cannot see it. While the quality was poor on that one as well, I will try to give it to one of my neighbour's kids, but I certainly would not wear it. I left a review on their site, but as noted by someone else, they appear to remove any reviews that are not at least 3 stars, so mine is not there. I will reconsider my review if they provide a complete refund in a timely manner.

Mooie producten

De bestelling laat lang op zich wachten, ondertussen worden er items geannuleerd en terugbetaald door het bedrijf wegens niet beschikbaar. Zeer hoge verzendkosten. Snelle reply van klantendienst.

They are a cheat and a scam
July 28, 2023

They don't take returns! They lie in the product description. They said 100% cotton and it was 100% something else. They will not give me refund unless I return the merch back to Singapore at my own cost. Deplorable.

BEWARE
July 28, 2023

Product was not as pictured, the fabric was poor quality. Trying to return the product was a nightmare. With each email from me, I received an email offering a discount for a future purchase. After stating over and over that I wanted a refund, I was told that there is NO Return Label and it was up to me to return the product which would cost $10-$40. Here is part of the company's email. We're sorry that you want to return the product. Sorry that we don't have the return label, please return it to our Asia warehouse by the cheapest tracking service in the post office. Usually, it costs $10-$40, and it takes 2-4 weeks for delivery. The refund will be issued once we receive it and pass the quality check. Buyer beware.

Al final llega
July 28, 2023

La tienda tiene artículos muy importantes que no podrás encontrar en las tiendas físicas de tu ciudad. Los precios son increíblemente competitivos. El único problema es el estar tan lejos de los centros de distribución. Tenerife es un destino muy complicado para el comercio electrónico. Normalmente el tiempo de espera es de 20 días. Aún así vale la pena.

I have purchased three dresses, two shirts, and some blouses from Light in The Box. I have been very pleased with the clothing plus the service. Even though I have to wait a while for shipping, the items are worth the wait. I high recommend this company.

Shorts
July 27, 2023

I just received my new shorts and the pocket is ripped from top to bottom
$#*!ty Quality! 100%
Never again will I buy from them!
And the worst part is... there is no number for customer service. You have to download the app
This company is garbage
Do not order from them!
Products do have flaws. I understand that...but if you can't talk to a representative then what kind of company is it!

The dress I ordered was described as linen - it was gauze! Ugly & so cheap I would'nt wear it a a nighty! The reurn is so complicated that I refuse to spend another cent on mailing back to China! Why can't I return it to the NJ address from where it came? This is a deplorable company. Do not buy a thing from them.

Rendszeres vásárlója vagyok az oldalnak. Sokszor előfordul, hogy egy-egy termékkel probléma van de mindig sikerült ezt a megoldani az ügyfélszolgálat segítőkészségével. Többször lehetne leárazás és az ide érkezés is nagyon lassú.
