I am so very upset with this company. Clothes are terrible and of very poor quality. Hard to get return info so I can return items. Took forever to get it. Order on March 3 got them March 24.
I want all my money back and return mailing fees. It cost $50 to get them. Ugly material, thin and too small, too long, weird fit!

Don't buy anything from them
November 10, 2021

I ordered a dress with a jacket for my son's wedding and followed their size chart. Dress came, not as expected, especially for $200. My options were return to China at my cost- only if return acceptable to them, keep it for a 20% credit or keep it for a10% refund. None of these options are reasonable. I wish I had never seen their ad!

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.

I am sorry for all inconveniences caused. I've noticed that you've requested to return the dress based on a size issue. I am genuinely sorry the dress didn't work for the wedding. Keep in mind our sizing might run small when compared to your habitual North American size. For this reason, we indicate all our products with their exact measurements --in both inches and centimetres-- on our website. My colleague must have thought it would be appropriate to try to convince you of keeping it with a 10% partial refund or 20% credit, I regret if you found these option unreasonable.

Please don't worry I took note that you wish to proceed with a return and will be happy to guide you with this. Please check your mailbox, you will find an email (ticket #24731207) with the return instructions. Feel free to reply if you have any questions or need further assistance with the return process.

It is always a joy to help you!

I hate this site for they are deceitful & burglars. After paying the amount of about £200 as price & postage I received something like a kitchen cloth instead of the beautiful night dress they advertise. They left me desperate the day of my son's wedding. Anybody help me sue them to refund my money?
By the way this is the second time I'm writing a review but received no response yet.

Ordered 2 dresses both were made of very poor quality material so decided to return for a refund. After several emails from them trying to offer me vouchers instead of a refund I confirmed I wanted to return them only to be advised that I would have to pay for a non refundable tracked postage to either China or Asia. Total rip off company selling poorly made goods with no customer service.

Bad Quality
September 10, 2022

Just recieved my dress, very disappointed with the quality and materials used. Dress as depicted is very deceiving, showed a sheared flowing skirt and fully flowered bodice. The hems were all unfinished, and the beautiful flowing shear skirt was cheap, thin polyester. The bodice very plain, flowers were dull to look at, no shimmer as picture portrays. I have included pictures.
I will not use this site again and recommend staying away.

Made some order soon after I realized it wont make the shipping in time so I tried to cancel. It would not let me cancel and hours later I get an email saying items has been shipped. The items will get here while I am away out of the country for 1.5 months. When I get home 1.5 months later, it will be too late to return the products. Lost of $385 thanks to lightinthebox. Not sure how you guys even write good reviews when there is no contact info and email just bounces back. I think you guys are mule working for the company.

Hi An,

We are sorry for all the inconvenience. But we believe it is really normal that almost all the online store cannot let you cancel the order shortly before shipping. If you do not like our items, we can help you return them definitely. We respect and take care all the reviews from our customers, but we cannot accept the unfair ones.

Thanks for shopping with us!

Sincerely,
Lightinthebox

I ordered a sweater jacket and tried to return it but my order could not be found on my account, even though I have an order number. So no way to contact anyone in regards to this, nothing. I am very angry that this site and app are completely defective and I cannot get any sort of help on this issue. I will NEVER buy here again.

Dear customer,

This is Chloe, supervisor of customer service, Lightinthebox.

Thank you for your feedback but we need to point out that what is written in your review is not true. The order was in your account since you placed it.and all the order nofitication will sent to your email which is the same to your login account. The only possibility that there is no order in your account as you logged into wrong account.

I found that the order60100800 is under the account related with aurora_lenore@yahoo.com. Could you try to login again?

Feel free to contact us if you have any problems.

Sincerely,

CHINA SCAMMER SITE
June 8, 2021

So in follow up i see these jerks remark about refunds.
Read the fine print. You get 40% of your money back IF your lucky.
They like to drag the matter on and on. Bait and switch scam.
They know in time you will give up... as most people will.
At that point in time too much time has gone by and your out of
Luck because their ''warranty'' on your order has ''expired''.
Do not shop LIGHT IN THE BOX ever never!

We were thrilled to find the shirt my mom had seen on Facebook on their website and ordered in hopes to arrive before Christmas. This company was by far the best we did business with. They communicated with us immediately, as soon as the shirt shipped and even once it arrived it the United States! I haven't been this impressed with an online company before. We will definitely buy from here again. My mom adores her shirt- great fit and quality. Thank you!

Do not be tempted to purchase from this company.
Their 'returns' system is the most complicated and un customer friendly system I have ever come across. They will do anything to stop repayment. You think it is resolved and payment is being made back to you, but no, they pay it into your Light in the Box account for you to spend again (HA HA HA) or for you to credit your own Card. Complicated. If there were 5 negative Stars I would award them.

Smart and progressive
March 29, 2023

Let's be real. Retailers are overpriced! I was able to buy several items for the price that I could've spent on 1 garment in American retail stores. Not every item fit right, but I was able to easily return items that were legitimately incorrectly sized. I received several very articulate communications from customer service that really very fairly explained their position as a company and my options as a consumer, and I was overall very happy with my experience. They are different from what I am used to, in a very smart and progressive way.

This company are just scammers. Really light in the box, I don't know how you are getting aways with this. This company has a huge reputation for ripping people off. They are also specialist in writing fake reviews on all their sites.

I made the mistake of buying from them. I had been sent a broken pair of shoes and when I sent them back for a refund they had only refunded me 25% of my order. Also they took 3 weeks to process it.

Stay Away!
June 5, 2018

If i could i would give a 0 out of 5 stars! So many hidden charges and my package arrived looking like it was thrown from a plane into a monster truck derby. Will never ever order from them again and will tell everyone i know to stay clear.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am glad to help with all your problems.

I. Please be noted the extra charges were Tax Fees. The taxes is noted in our knowledge base as below:
http://www.lightinthebox.com/knowledge-base/c1229/a3021.html

Your local custom office usually will charge you tax fees for imported products. Being aware of this situation and we would like to offer better service, we started the tax insurance service. As long as customers have paid for tax insurance, we will fully refund the tax. The tax insurance could be paid to the payment page when you place the order: https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/3a39381c-3ae3-4376-8bde-800c4058d8f7

However, you did not pay for this tax insurance, which is why usually we did not refund the tax. Hope you understand it.

II. I am really sorry that the package you received was damaged. We'll take full responsibility of this problem and promise to help you figure it out. Please don't be worried.

I had conducted new Ticket ID =18341712 in our ticket center and provide solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Please keep in touching with us by replying the ticket as all the information will be recorded in system. Thank you for your cooperation.

I don't usually write reviews, but this needs to be said because I want this company to stick around. I have ordered three dresses from Light In The Box--a formal chiffon for myself, a bridesmaid dress for my 12 yr. Old, and a flower girl dress for my 10 yr. Old. I made two separate orders, each arriving within a couple of weeks. They were very carefully packaged, complete with return instructions. And each dress came with its own "Lan Ting" cloth tote. I am so happy with the quality and value of these dresses. The measurements are precise, and the style and fit is true to what is pictured. Each dress feels like it was tailor made for us. I couldn't be happier with my experience. And my girls are thrilled with their dresses. I will definitely be using them again!

Affordable Shopping
August 1, 2023

Shopping with Lightinthebox has been a continuous rewarding experience. Each Order is treated as special. From the order is placed until it is received you are kept informed. Also, a review of your order is requested, they want to hear if you are satisfied or dissatisfied. That to me is very good customer service.
The cost listed for all their products are very affordable and most times are of good quality. I have no regrets shopping with this Company. I have always recommends it to my colleagues.

We are very happy with the fleece leggings ordered, good quality. The fit could have been a bit larger but we'll remember this for our next purchase. The leather bag was great, good quality at a can't be beat price. The cat bags were fun if a little small.

I've placed many orders with lightinthebox.com over the years and I feel that with every order I'm more and more disappointed. On my two most recent orders the order processing time was listed on each item as 1-4 days. They took 9 & 7 days to process the orders. Then when they were shipped I was provided with tracking numbers that don't work. I tried every site and resource I could find to make sure I was tracking on the proper service with no success. I understand that these are coming from china, and the lower price comes with slower shipping. But to provide incorrect/non-existent tracking numbers and to take over twice as to process my order is taking advantage of your customer. You can't even contact them to get any explanation or updates. My first few orders I was so happy with but with each one I've been more disappointed and don't think I'll order from them again.
