Update on request of refund, this is the response I have received from Light In The Box, personally I think it outrageous and just adds insult to injury. I have not replied to Light In The Box yet.
"This is Customer Service Supervisor Rebecca. I've checked and found the previous representative Jack did not realize what caused your problem. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. I will follow up your case.
Please let me explain what happened to your order firstly. The shipping company Royal Mail told us that they could not deliver your package due to the "Insufficient Address" problem. They said a complete address should include a "House Number" but your address did not include one.
On November 25th, we conducted a Ticket 2200**** to request the correct shipping address for re-delivery. However, we did not receive your reply after 10 days. Finally, your package was abandoned by Royal Mail, instead of returning to us.
Based on our policy, we are unable to process any refund/reshipment if the package is not delivered and abandoned because of customer reason (such as address problem). However, I truly value you as our customer and do really want to help you, I'd like to deal with your case specially and offer you following solutions:
1. We'd like to refund you 50% product's price which is GBP13.24 even though we did not receive the package back.
2. Or if you can firstly help us change the rating on "Sitejabber" to 5 stars and let other customers know the case is being taken cared of or just remove this review, I will apply for a Direct Full Refund of order price GBP 33.53 for you as special compensation. It is a Special offer for you. I will process the full refund as soon as I see the review is changed or removed.
Please kindly consider it and tell us which solution you prefer to take. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rebecca

Please write your detailed message here:
I cannot believe that Royal Mail have said they need a house number to deliver to. As Royal Mail has local sorting offices that know their own areas, and most villages in the UK have a lot of houses without numbers, just NAMES.
Also I paid extra for the insurance of the parcel and surely that should be enough to cover a refund if the parcel goes missing, obviously not, as stated before DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE JUST OUT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY!
