I ordered 2 paintings (a set), they products I received had completely different colors than the advertised paintings. Moreover, one was different from the other, like made by 2 different people. I understand there may be a slight difference but what I received cannot be even hanged on the wall, instead of beige there is orange. Of course they refused to resend me new ones, as they should be.

Update: After a secondary complaint and publishing reviews, they returned me the money in full and apologized.

Was ist das denn für ein Bewertungssystem? Wegen Spamflut habe ich 1 Stern vergeben und nach dem Absenden stehen 5.

Was ist das denn für ein Bewertungssystem?

Also noch mal, Ware war gut, aber seitdem werde ich mit Werbung bombardiert. Abmeldung wird ignoriert, stattdessen werde ich zum dritten Mal zur Bewertung aufgefordert. Bitte sehr, aber wenn ich einen Stern vergebe, meine ich das auch so.

Guten Tag Ron,

Danke für das Schreiben ein Kommentar und sich an uns zu wenden.

Ich werde mein bestes Tun um Ihnen damit zu helfen. Sie können sich selbst von die Werbe-E-Mails abbestellen. Es gibt eine Option in diesen E-Mails um abzumelden. Eine zweite Möglichkeit hierfür ist das einfache Klicken auf den folgenden Link:
https://www.lightinthebox.com/de/index.php?main_page=email_subscriptions&prm=1.29.70.0

Wir haben Ihnen eine E-Mail mit weiteren Details gesendet (Ticket # 24519485). Sollte dies aus irgendeinem Grund nicht funktionieren, werde ich meinen Kollegen aus der Informatiker Abteilung um Hilfe bitten.

Wir sind Ihre gern dienlich!

The product doesn't need to be returned.

I like to add that we encourage all customers to contact our customer service through the website. We have a dedicated aftersales service, and you would've found no difficulties obtaining a refund. It will also help us by taking measures against certain suppliers.

Quality of product and service
October 8, 2021

Status updates not clear, too late received, quality of product is pretty low. Expectations adjusted downwards for next time. Compensation low and unsatisfying… like too much effort to get money back.

Hi Chrisjan,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please accept our apologies for having faced this very unhappy shopping experience.

I saw that you've contacted us 2 weeks ago, requesting a return of 2 T shirts. You've told the quality wasn't satisfactory, and the order was received too late. We are very troubled by this, as we are committed to selling good quality products at an affordable price. Can you please tell us which aspects weren't good? Your details will allow us to make a claim, and might help us request a full refund from the supplier!

Upon further verification, I found that this order was supposed to be delivered no later than the 21st of September. We regret this was delivered 4 days later on the 25th. I apologize we couldn't deliver this order within promised schedule, and possible inconvenience caused. We fully recognize this as our mistake, should you decide to proceed with a return, then we will cover your return postage.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24519373) to help you resolve this problem. I stand by that we can help you obtain a refund without too much effort!

Awaiting your details,
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team
