This is the most pathetic service of lack there of I have ever received. My money was taken from my visa Oct1/16. I received your order has been shipped Oct 20/16
It is now Nov 11/16 and I have not received anything. Not an update, any part of my order or my money back. I am very disappointed and I am taking action. I had read many bad reviews unfortunately after the order was placed but even those reviews weren't this bad. Same on the company. No person has contacted me. No contact number is listed. It is an utter scam

I made a purchase ************** and canceled the order because it was going to take longer than I thought to ship. I received a notification from customer service that, it is a made to order and I have to pay 50% of the cost. However on the shopping website there was no alerts for any of my purchases that says made to order. I will shop on this website

Goodmorning,

Thank you for reaching out to our customer service.

I saw that you've requested the cancellation, 4 days while we were processing the order. As mentioned the dress you've ordered belonged to the category 'made to order'. This means that from the moment you've paid, the tailor had cut materials and made everything from scratch. As such, cancelling the order would result in an unfinished product, loss of fabric and 4 days of work going to waste. Since you told you weren't aware of having ordered a made-to-order product, my colleague offered a full refund without deduction. Kindly check your PayPal account, the full payment was returned since 2 days.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24957271) with further details. Should you have any questions or doubts, then we'd like to hear from you.

Happy to be at your service!

Still waiting
December 7, 2016

I placed my order and paid for it on 29th November 2016, I was given a delivery time frame of 3- business days. It is now the 7th December and I have not received my items which I needed to receive by now for my office Christmas party tomorrow.

Can somebody get back to me asap as this is my first time ordering from this site and I have not received any communication suggesting that my delivery will be late.

Real opinion
December 26, 2023

Until this year i was never one to shop online, always sceptical of being scammed or so,
Then i decided to have a go and i was pleasantly surprised by light in the box merchandise.
The quality of the clothing i have purchased was well above my expectations, and i highly recommend
Light in the box to all my friends. Thank you

It has been a month since I have ordered from this website and have yet to see a single item I have ordered, when I tried to track from the tracking number they gave me it kept saying error: expired! Apparently my order was shipped into 3 different orders, one of which it says it was shipped on the 27th of December! Are you kidding me?!?!? I paid on the 29th of November!

3 articles 2 ok 1 is a disappointment - the watch
January 18, 2023

Earphones were ok, and work smart. The cable is ok. But the watch appears to have a lunette that is not engraphed but a sticker that easily (directly) got damaged. This is not visible from the pictures. Transport was ok and fast. Would not buy that watch for around 20 dollars again. It runs ok but the lunette is not properly designed and functions barely.

Very happy and relieved
April 17, 2021

I would like to say I was very happy with my experience with Lightin the box. Goods exactly as pictured in ads. Delivery times was 6 weeks not 3, but due to Covid19 I wasn't surprised. Shipping cost a bit high though.

I bought 3 dresses from this merchant, from their website under the impression that they were 100% COTTON dresses. The total amount plus shipping was $72, a complete waste of money in the end. It took about a month before I received my order and when it came, I was beyond shocked. NONE of the dresses that I had bought were made with an ounce of cotton, instead, the labels all said that they were 100% polyester. The worst part of this experience is that I am unable to return these pieces. The merchant requires that you get APPROVAL from them to return the dresses and they do not provide a return label, instead asking for you to use the "cheapest method" to ship the products back to their ASIA warehouse. Shipping the products back to them would cost me between $10-40. This is atrocious. Even AFTER returning the product to them, refunds, according to their customer service, will only be issued if they deem it worthy of a refund. This merchant is a scammer. STAY AWAY.

Is a scam company be careful
June 21, 2022

Light in the box is a SCAM website! Be careful do not buy. They scammed 400 dollars for a dress, I was in a hurry to buy for my opera concert, never again! I asked for refund they disappeared (do not believe them if they reply here immediately is just for marketing, they are afraid of bad reviews because otherwise their scam doesn't work). You know what is their strategy if you ask for a refund? They disappear, after they offer a coupon for an other product and if you send the item you will not get the refund money back. Is a scam! The dress is bad quality, it loses all the sparkling things my house is full of that ***! NEVER BUY THEY SCAM YOUR MONEY be careful guys buy only on trustworthy websites!

I ordered a vest, tie, bowtie, and hat for my husband wear to a vintage Valentine's dinner. The tie and bow tie was definitely child size and I think the vest was. Hat was too large. He could wear none of it.
The top for me was fine.

I have ordered like 6 times from this site and is secure. Customer service is great, they respond as soon as possible. I would recomend this site to everyone. THE only thing is that you have to consider the possible taxes charges that apply on your country.

Total scam
July 4, 2016

I heard this was a scam. I ordered anyway and it was. Now that I got my fake Nike sneakers that took over 3 weeks to get and were 3 sizes too big they changed my password so I can't login. Now I can't get my return information. DO NOT ORDER from this site.

I placed an order on 13 july to be informed the order hadn't gone through so I ordered again. In fact the order HAD gone through and they had taken my money twice. I only realised this when the item STILL hadn't arrived yesterday. I contacted them and was told the item had been delivered but been returned because there was no one home. No note was left by the courier and no e-mail or text was sent to inform me just a note left on their website which I was unaware of. The tracking page they send you to is in chinese and when translated very difficult to follow. I was then told to contact my local JCEX (their courier) office, who I had never heard of and no contact details were given. I have been told no refund is forthcoming because the item had to be returned

Unable to Return
June 7, 2023

I recieved two shirts that did not fit well and of questionable quality. When I attempted to return I was told that I would have to pay return shipping which would almost exceed the value of the item. They offered to refund part of the price or give me a store credit which I really don't want. I just want to return the shirts and get my money refunded but so far I continue to hit a wall and have not recieved a response to my last query.

Brilliant!
September 10, 2014

Brilliant! I'm one of those people who thought shall I shan't I, is it worth the risk and I am sooooo glad I did! Just as it looks in the picture! My sister in law is a seamstress and she has commented on how well it is made. She is taking it in a pinch on the waist but not much so the custom made was awesome. Would definitely buy again.
