I ordered something and I was informed when I ordered it that it would be 24 hours for processing and another 3 to 5 business days for me to receive it. On the 5th business day, it was still being processed and the customer support couldn't give me any help. I was told not to worry, that it would be sent out "soon" Since I needed the item by a certain date, I cancelled my order. I received a message from customer support asking be to reconsider cancelling in exchange for "rewards." I declined and confirmed that I want the order cancelled and my money refunded.
I received another message again bribing me with "rewards" and I again confirmed that I cancelled the order. The next day I looked up the status and saw that my order was not cancelled. It was shipped. Well, the info was sent to a shipping company at least. The shipping company did not get the actual item for another couple days. Long story short, it has been 16 days since I cancelled my order and I have yet to receive a refund. I have had every one of my inquiries responded to with a lie (which was later contradicted) or a vague excuse. I have not once felt like I was treated with any kind of respect from anyone in this company. I have done some research on the company and I have also found that I am not the only person to have similar experiences with this company. Everyone has the same or similar story and I have come to the conclusion that this company makes its money by stealing from people.
We feel sorry for that. Please, could you provide your order number?

I ordered white "Marsnow" ski pants. Four weeks later I received a pair of khaki ski pants that weren't the same style or brand that I ordered... After several communications with the company where they made me take pictures of the product received, they simple state that the pants were white and would not process an exchange or refund. WOW. Not used to dealing with cheesy offshore con artists...

They sent a reply and said they will refund me.
Original Review: Feb. 24, 2020
They are liars. You will get your product late. And if you click a button by mistake, they keep your money even you let them know immediate that it was a mistake. I paid a dress on November 23, 2019. It supposed to take about 10 weeks to me. In late January I still do not have it. So I sent a ticket on the website. The company says I should get the dress early February. On February 8 I still did not get the dress so I logged in and found that my order was canceled. The reason is the dress "will be out of stock for an indefinite period of time". I was very worried since my wedding is in March.
I placed an order for the same dress by mistake. I cancelled the order soon after that. I also sent a ticket requesting to cancel the order since it is the same as the dress that "will be out of stock". However, instead of helping me to cancel the order, the company told me the package is ready to ship and will be shipped in March. Excuse me??? You told me it is out of order... Plus it will be too late. I told them to cancel the order and refund my money. They rejected.

Order number **. It’s been 2 months since I ordered the item. Given track number was incorrect. I asked what happened to my item, they said I should wait more. I asked again they said “more”...more and more...I started to suspect it’s a scam and demanded full refund. Normally, you get your money back immediately when you demand full refund. But they ignored what I asked for, and sent me copy-paste messages like “sorry bla bla bla... but wait more, please”. I don’t want your item anymore just pay my money back. (Plus: they don’t have even an agency in my country, no phone number, no address, nothing. I wouldn’t recommend even entering their website. They gave me a local number. Guess what? It doesn’t exist.)

I purchased an item from LightInTheBox, and paid extra to receive said item sooner. The website states all items purchased will be shipped out within 24-48hrs. My items "shipping label" was created withing 24-48hrs of purchase, but item was never shipped. Item did not ship until at least a week if not longer from the time I purchased from them. Then once item was shipped it took about another 2 weeks for the item to arrive at my home. The only resolution that this company could give me is a 10% off coupon on my NEXT ORDER, and that I should check with my local postal service because package had shipped. My local postal service had seen where shipping label was created but never received package which meant light in the box still had said package.
This company was not helpful, and did not seem to want to help to resolve my issue with what I purchased. Customer service reps even referred to my ticket submissions as "COMPLAINING". This was my first time purchasing from this company and will be my last. My recommendation to anyone purchasing from this company is if you are in no hurry to receive your item then go ahead and buy, but do not pay extra for shipping cause you will just be giving your money away. Also expect for your item to take 3 weeks or longer before it gets delivered to your home!!

ARGHHHH DO NOT USE THESE GUYS. Ordered some lighting for New Year's eve. Delivery was suppposed to be in 3-6 business days. It has now been 65 days since the order was placed and I am still waiting. We no longer need or want the merchandise, but they refuse to cancel the order. IF it ever shows up, to return the order, we must accept it first and pay all duties and DHL fees and then return the products. LightInTheBox will NOT refund duties and fees and claims that we should have taken out their insurance. Problem is that they DO NOT OFFER insurance for Mexico (where the merchandise was supposed to be delivered).

I ordered 4 dresses; 3 were too small. 1 of the 3 was previously worn and smelled of smoke. I requested to return the 3 too small dresses for a full refund. I was refused stating the dresses were made to my measurements. This was not true. The dresses were in small, medium, large, or extra large. No measurements were sent nor did they ask for any. I was offered 10% discount on a future purchase. UNACCEPTABLE!!! Trying to get my money back; I reported them to the credit card company and consumer protection.

I discussed my issues online with them, they sent all info on returns, I followed all of this to the letter. I have documents of all the communication that transpired, until I could no longer get in touch). I let them know the day I had posted the products back, and all other relevant info they requested, ie) Return Carrier, Tracking No, etc, then waited. I received notification from Australia Post, that my returns arrived on 27th November 2019. I sent an email to them saying that they now had receipt of the return items, I’ve heard nothing, and I noticed that my ticket no had been closed before I’d received my refund.
I’ve also tried to get in touch since to discuss this matter, and I found nothing in the customer service, NO Phone Number, NO Email!! WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THAT?? I had no way of getting in touch with them! I finally downloaded the app and found this, write a review, so I thought maybe I’ll get a response from them, and get my refund! After all, they have their items back, I should get my money back as they promised. The amount owing is AU$97.68 for items, AU$33.50 for Postage with Tracking, (as requested by the company!) So, a TOTAL of AU$131.18.
This may not sound like a lot to many people, but to an aged pensioner, it’s a huge part of their income! So I would appreciate that money back, I feel like I’ve been robbed. If anyone from the company would like to get in touch with me to sort this out and reimburse me the money I’m owed for the purchases I’ve returned, I’d be delighted to hear from them!

I ordered a flapper dress and flapper headband for a New Year's Eve party, but they didn’t arrive in time (not even close) and they also didn’t fit. The dress was a size Small (which I always wear) but it was much too large for me. It was extremely loose everywhere and way too long. The headband was hard and uncomfortable and had no elastic. I tried to return both items, but because there was technically nothing wrong/broken/missing with them, customer service wouldn’t let me return them.
Whats more, I paid $15 extra for 3-5 days shipping in order to get it in time for New Year’s Eve, and it didn’t arrive for 22 days. Meaning it took 17-19 days for them to ship this product... Again, the shipment technically was in accordance with the specifications shipping in 3-5 days. However, offering such shipping options at a $15 mark-up reasonably implies a level of service their fine print frees them from having to provide, and is no way to treat customers. I 100% regret ordering from this website, and I won’t be ordering from them in the future. Highly recommend people don’t order from here.

For this time only, we can exceptionally treat your case even if it's out of warranty. I would like to offer you to either:
1) return the items back for a refund of their price tags $36.73. Our return warehouse is in Dongguan, China. We won't be able to cover the return for you since it's not in warranty, sorry.

This is a very deceptive website. If you don't want to lose your money, do not shop from this website. I bought a bathing suit, a cover up and bracelet. They make it appear as if the shipping that you choose is when you will receive the item. I received my order late and I received a totally different color bathing suit - very ugly, it does not even look like the same item. The pictures are very deceptive. The bracelet I bought is made to look broader than it is, it is half the size and almost as thin as paper and the cover up looks much greener and the material is cheap polyester.
I contacted them and sent pictures and they want me to pay return shipping to China, while the products were shipped from the US. I got wrong product and they want me to pay to send it back to them. They claim they will refund me less the original shipping when I ship it back. So they are basically saying I should be responsible for them shipping me the wrong item and shipping it back to them. To top it off, I luckily cancelled another order, which they charged me for anyway. When I sent a ticket, I received a response that I had to withdraw the money to my bank account, which they had put in some credit account. This is unbelievable. Order #s **.

The refund will be sent to your card which you used to pay for this order. It usually takes 3-5 days to be processed by us. depending on your local bank, it may take up to 7-25 days for you to receive it on your credit card, as it normally takes up to one billing cycle for them to execute it. Please contact your bank branch if you have any concern on their refund time frame.

My experience with this company is absolutely appalling, the worst online shopping I have ever had. I ordered few bike pollution masks on 29 January with priority line delivery, however a week later nothing was happening as it indicated it was still processing my order. I had to cancel the order as I needed items sooner and I previously thought the company shipping from Europe. A week later (6 February) after I cancel I finally received a message from Fabio promising to resolve my refund and offering a discount and shipping not later than on 31 January (while he was writing that message already on 6 February!!!).
Imagine my reaction to this level of customer service. No phone numbers or location of the customer service helpline provided: nothing. It’s almost a week and yet I haven’t got my refund or even acknowledgement of the refund coming : nothing. No any replies to my multiple requests. I do not recommend anyone to buy anything from this website as it has such a low level of customer service you will just waste your time. Natasha **. Order number **.

I purchased a cycling jersey US large and received a US small.

Well apparently China takes the entire month of January and a portion of February off, but don't disclose this to customers while ordering. They don't have any issues accepting your order AND payment, but when it comes to shipping they have no staff. They accepted payment on 1/17 and didn't tell me until 1/26 (much after their processing window) that it wouldn't ship until 2/9. I know shipping from China takes a while, which is why I ordered a month in advance. On 2/7 they told me it wouldn't ship until 2/10. On 2/9 they told me it wouldn't ship until 2/13. After being lied to on 4 different occasions, I canceled my order. They then make you go to their site in 1-2 days of course and work to withdraw YOUR money from your online account.

They sent the wrong size and the way they wanted to fix it was by giving you a "reward" for the cost of the product, not including the shipping and handling, which coming from China was about 30% of the total. Then, they demanded that "The Total Price for All Products must EXCEED the rewards value." So, they expected you to spend even more money, in addition to paying double shipping -- to send the wrong product back, plus the shipping for the right product (assuming they would get it right this time) -- in order to fix their mistake. By the way, when they give you the address to send the wrong product back, the address is incomplete, missing the postal code (zip code). Additionally, the kept asking for photos of the product, etc. etc. Obviously, they are trying to wear you out until you give up -- DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!

I recently purchased from Light In The Box for an anime cosplay. I specifically chose an order with 24 hour processing time and shipping method of expedited express (3-5) business days shipping method. I chose the more expensive shipping due to the fact that I need this item before February 10th. At this rate, I won’t even receive it by then. I haven’t received any tracking information and they haven’t even responded to any of my customer service emails.

After waiting approximately 2 weeks with "processing" still in my order status, I requested the order be cancelled and full refund to my original form of payment. They gave ma a story about the "Chinese New Year" and said that was the reason for the delay and said I may receive it in about 2 more weeks! I had already found another item as the child I work with needed it 2 weeks ago when I had ordered it and paid for the expedited shipping. I again requested my order be cancelled and the response was they would credit my account or I could have a refund to my credit card.
When I went in to request the refund to my credit card, I saw the amount was 25% of the money I had paid for the item plus the expedited shipping charge ($8 refund for the $26 I had paid....). If they would have refunded my entire amount paid as requested, there would be no problem, but I would NOT RECOMMEND you use this company as they can not be trusted to follow through with fair, acceptable customer service.
We feel sorry for that. Please, could you provide your order number?

I ordered a rain shower and after speaking with my plumber I realized it would not work with what I want to do. I originally thought I could just change my order and switch to a different one so I put in a ticket to do so, all within the same day. After realizing my account has already been charged, there is no way to contact their customer service directly and getting no response whatsoever from this company, I decided I want to cancel my order completely. I put in a cancel request all in the same day and have yet to hear anything, receive any emails, phone calls, messages back or anything. This was an expensive item and I will take whatever steps are necessary to be sure that I am refunded.

Order # **. I placed my order on December 10th and it was shipped on December 17th with the expectation that it would be delivered within 7-13 business days as per the chosen shipping method. It has now been over 27 business days. I reached out to customer service for the first time on January 6th. In their response to me, they mentioned that I should get the order by January 14th. It is now January 22nd and I still do not have my order. I emphasized that this has become quite unreasonable and unacceptable and would request a refund for the order which I have yet to receive. They did not acknowledge my request for reimbursement.
I followed up a second time on January 15th (day after I was told I was going to receive my order) and was told the following: "Sometimes the shipping time isn’t very stable and the online tracking updating is a little bit slow. Based on the post office, if everything goes smoothly, packages will be delivered within the estimated shipping time, which you can see in the order detail page. However, in case of bad weather or unexpected situation, please kindly understand that they may need more days; most of the packages can be delivered in 60 days. So you should receive the order before [2020-02-15]. Please also keep tracking the package. If it’s arrive in your country, please wait for 10 days to let it to be delivered to your house. If you haven’t received it after 10 days then you can contact your local post office to inquire about it."
Basically, they are telling me that I should expect the order 2 months from the shipping date! This is abhorrent and unacceptable! I am patient but this is ridiculous. I have never had such a bad experience when ordering online. I ask once again to be reimbursed in full for an order that has failed to be delivered. Catherine.

This company is absolutely dishonest. This company is absolutely dishonest. I would not recommend buying anything from them. If you have having trouble with them, I would urge you to do what I did: Contest the charges with your bank or credit card provider and file a complaint with the police.
Here is the story: I purchased a lamp, which was delivered in a damaged state. The company systematically put up road blocks to my returning the item and receiving a refund. Finally after a month, they said that I could send the item back to China for a refund. However, to do so I would need to state on the customs declaration that the package was a gift. The reason for this is that they do not want to pay customs taxes. In essence, they were requiring me to commit fraud in order to receive a refund. That is clearly illegal.
Here is what I did: I contested the charge with my bank and credit card provider so that the money would be refunded. I also reported the company's demand that I commit fraud to the German police and the European tax authorities. I am still awaiting the results, but the bank assured me that I would receive a refund for the charges.

Your order was confirmed on 2020-01-08. Once the order was placed, an order confirmation email was sent to your email address "spiros_probatas@yahoo.gr". Please double check your email box, including the spam box.
We also would like to help you check the order status.
Please note because the shipping method you chose for this order was "Postal Expedited". It's the secondary shipping method we have, which usually takes 8-16 business days (11-23 calendar days) for the package to arrive. And we state it in the shipping method choosing part at the Check-Out page when you placed this order. So it's normal that you still haven't received the package because it's still in transit. We guess you might haven't noticed this so you're inquiring about your order.
Your order was shipped via ePacket-track-Baotongda on 2020-01-08, with the tracking number LL954851915CN. So you shall receive the order before [2020-01-31], which is the 23rd day of shipping.

I purchased 2 bathroom faucets that cost over $100 each. When the plumber tried to install them he could not. He said they did not have the standard size attachment needed for the install. He noted they were made in China and that could be the reason. This part is permanently attached and can not be replaced with another. I emailed the company and asked for return instructions. I was told that due to the cost to send back to China that I should just donate them to someone else. So I emailed back 2 more times asking for the return address and return instructions so I could determine if it was worth the return. NO RESPONSE. Unfortunately many of the things we buy are made in China and this is the first I have ran across a problem with a return. I think Amazon should remove this vendor from their site. SCAM.

But the buttons on the shirt are a just oversized enough that they are very difficult to push into the button hole and very nearly impossible to pop out. So much so that in trying to open it, the button hole actually separated from the shirt and is now useless. They were responsive when I opened a return order but....even though the item was shipped from somewhere in New York, I must pay to return the item to a warehouse in China and it's almost the price of the shirt itself.

Original Review: Jan. 14, 2020
Updated on 01/15/2020: As a follow-up to my previous scathing review of this company's sales tactics, I must report that the two of us appear to have come to a resolution. This includes a partial refund of the purchase to my credit card (I won't go into more detail, because I don't want to start an avalanche of people seeking a similar arrangement [even if they deserve it]). Suffice to say that this offer is not perfect, but it's acceptable because now I can simply drop this whole affair. I'm not going to mark my original review as "Resolved," however, until I actually see the refund.
That said, I still strongly advise potential customers to very carefully review their order before they hit that "pay" button. This means double-checking the size, and whether a dress is considered "Made to Order" or "Ready to Wear." In the latter case, make sure that the actual "RTW" dress is actually in stock when you try to buy. And, of course, carefully read the return policy and its extensive list of items that the company will not take back. Otherwise, it will be treated as a "Made to Order," and you'll go through the whole fiasco that I've been through for the past two weeks.
Original Review: What would it be like to buy a product from a ghost? Perhaps, something like this: I bought three ice skating dresses for my wife as a Christmas present. I ordered them on Dec. 1 (order number **), since they were all in stock it was given an expected delivery date of Dec. 18. I got them Jan. 6 with no reason for the delay. My wife was thrilled to get them, as it's not easy to buy such items when you're 5-11 and 200 pounds. But the dresses did not fit (my wife spent about 45 seconds with each dress and gave up when she couldn't get them over her legs). I attempted to return them and was told at first that they were custom made to my wife's measurements and the company can't take them back (they weren't custom made -- they were standard-sized "ready to wear" items).
After I pointed out the error, I was then informed they do not take back figure skating dresses under any circumstances, per their policy. It would be nice if that policy was visible while I attempted to buy the products, not buried in their website (yes, there is a "return policy" link on the home page, but it didn't work when I tried it both before buying and a couple weeks later when they were still "processing" the order -- I always got sent back to the home page). Of course, when the company contacted me to refuse my return request, the rep sent a link that worked.
I've since been locked out of the site, as it keeps sending me back to the home page whenever I try to view my order (no problem looking at other dresses to buy, however). There is no longer a way to submit a ticket for customer service -- apparently I'm considering a closed case now that the return window has passed. This leads me to another issue, communication. You can't call these folks, you can't email them, their chat feature doesn't ever work. All you can do is submit a ticket and wait for their one-way answer (i.e., it's a non-reply-capable email, and there's no way to contact them without submitting another ticket, which as noted you apparently can only do a couple times).
Yes, they're good at responding within 24 hours, as promised. But it doesn't help much if the reply is, "We’re not refusing to help you. It’s just that our support are limited." (That's a direct quote, folks.) And big surprise: The company apparently does not print negative reviews, which explains why almost all of their ratings are 4 or 5 stars. Yet, look at this site. As for the dresses themselves, they're beautiful, but they're not consistently sized.
My wife had the best chance of fitting in the smallest of the three dresses; the larger ones were actually too tight. The keyhole openings on the backs of all three are EXTREMELY small (ice skaters will know what that means), which means you'll have real problems if you have an actual bustline. Because my wife never wore them, she can't speak to the overall quality -- how long the various rhinestones will stay on the fabric is questionable, and if they fall off during a skate, there's a potential for serious injury (again, ice skaters will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about).
I currently have a dispute filed with my credit card company over this, which I doubt will amount to anything since technically, the company does have a no-return policy (even if it's not always visible). This means I'm out several hundred bucks, which makes for an expensive "live and learn" lesson (thank the stars that they were on sale when I bought them -- the original combined retail was over $3,000). The company suggested that I try to sell the dresses locally, or gift them to someone. We'll see where that takes us. But this company gets an extremely low, caveat emptor rating on my end (think: minus 1 for customer service, 2 for shipping and 3 for merchandise quality, or about a 1.3 overall) -- a fact I'll pass on to about a dozen more ice skaters who need merchandise.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am glad to help.
Please be noted we could not accept your return request not only because the 3 dresses are Made-to-order items (not mean made per your wife's measurements, while means they were newly made once the order was placed) but also they belongs to Category "Ice Skating".
Based on our policy, usually we are unable to accept return for non-quality "Ice Skating" products. You can check the return policy statement in following link.https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0

I purchased a wig from this site. I admit that the price was too good to be true. I already have several wigs as I have ongoing cancer treatment, so need a wardrobe of wigs to wear. The service, as in the speed of delivery, and many tracking updates regarding delivery was excellent. However, when the wig arrived, it was utter disappointment. It's so unlike the picture that I deem it false advertising. Nothing about it bears any resemblance to the picture. It was described as short, curly, pixie cut. The colour in the picture is a lovely, streaky, silvery blonde. The one I received is all over a light straw blonde colour, is flat with no curl, and is a completely different style. Be warned!

I bought dimmable ceiling lights at the beginning of Oct 2019 for about £170. My order arrived on time (however I got a call from that I had to pay £50 customs fees which I didn't agree to pay as I bought an insurance from lightinthebox and after 2 days my parcel arrived successfully). This is the only good point I can highlight. In a few days I decided to return the item as the lights was different colour from what was shown on the website and dimmable function didn't work. That where my headache started. I contacted the support team and they suggested that I had to do it within 7 days and I had to pay for the return to China myself. I requested a confirmation that they cover the expenses for the postage as the cheapest option for that size of parcel cost £65! They confirmed that they would cover after they received the item back and checked it.
I sent back the item with the tracking number and got a confirmation that it was successfully delivered to the Chinese address. I was waiting for the email from support for about 3 weeks with the results of the checks and the decision on my refund. Then I contacted them and they told be that they are looking for my parcel in their warehouse. It was emailing the support every week or 2 weeks till now about at least any updates but they stopped responding. And I couldn't find any telephone number I can call to complain and claim my money back. Nothing. I'm very disappointed and angry. I left without ceiling lights and without £235 (£170+£65) which have not been refunded yet. I would not recommend buying anything expensive from this company otherwise you might get similar problems.

I have ordered a incorrect color watch to my spouse. I have identified it as soon as I ordered and cancelled the order. The moment I have ordered the watch the payment is deducted from my account. 48.49 euro was deducted. It is been 2 weeks I asking to cancel and refund the money, the customer service is of no contact to me. I am going to raise a complaint in bank. Such a poor response from the team, I do not suggest anyone to use this website for ordering things. I need my money back.
Dear customer,
We are sorry that you totally misunderstood what happened to your order. Please let us clarify it.
When you mentioned you ordered wrong product, we asked if there was a possibility to change the order directly. Since it would take a long time to cancel the order, wait for the refund and then re-order, it would be more convenient to change the order directly. But we also mentioned if you still need to cancel the order with full refund, we were willing to help.
However, we did not receive your reply until Jan 9th. In this case, we were unable to help you further since we did not know your decision.
Your order 2001020835470067 has been cancelled as requested and the full refund EUR48.49 was completed on 2020-01-09.
The refund will be sent to your card which you used to pay for this order. However, please kindly note because this is a transnational transaction, it will take a few more days for you to receive the refund, you may refer to the following link about the refund processing time:https://www.lightinthebox.com/download/ec11af0d-ebb0-4a1b-9d53-b919e05b1f49

It took more than two months to receive the products; the products were of inferior quality (the material was a strange polyester and the print quality was bad); the sizing was way off. When I asked for a refund they said that refund was too expensive for me to ship the products back to China, therefore I should take less than half of the worth, in store credit ($18) or receive a $2 refund. I hate to even donate these tshirts....

I ordered 3 pairs of dance shoes with standard shipping which took about 5 weeks to arrive as they come from China. When they did arrive the quality was ok, although it smelt VERY chemically (makes me worry for the H&S of the factory workers) and some parts of the shoe were glued on unequally. Also although they were all the same size (6) they varied in actual size. I have contacted LightInTheBox directly to return them and they said that they cannot be returned as while the shoes are standard, the heel "will be customized in accordance to your selection." This is incorrect as when ordering there was no way of selecting different heel heights or customising other than selecting a size of shoe!! So now I have 3 pairs of unwearable shoes and can't return.

I have demanded to cancel the order and they now tell me that I may not cancel since it is supposedly shipping. This is a lie.

I happily ordered a selection of new clothes and coats from this company based on my prior experience. In 2015 I had ordered a wedding dress and was thrilled with the quality of the material and workmanship so recently, having lost weight, I placed a large order for new wardrobe pieces. The quality was so shabby that I probably won't be able to wear any of the pieces I received. The items I received have a resemblance to the photos but the material is nothing like the photos would lead you to expect. Coats that appear lined in the photos are cheap, unlined double-knit polyester.
Sweaters that look thick and bulky in the pix are thin, short and cheap. Pieces that appear to be embroidered are, in fact, prints on thin, cheap nylon. The workmanship is poor and unfinished with threads hanging everywhere and blouses that appear to have cuffs have elastic instead. I am shocked that the quality has dropped so significantly since my last order. This will be my last.
Dear customer,

I have ordered from this company before and received a beautiful dress so I thought I would be okay ordering again. NOT AT ALL! I placed an order for over $100 worth of clothes. It took forever to receive them and I ordered them to take on vacation with me. The result of what I received could of been done by children. The clothes were not of the same material as in the pictures. The bottoms and neckline of the shirts were not even sewn. So cheap looking I wouldn't of worn them anywhere. Out of six items I bought only one item was wearable and that was to bed.
I contacted the company by writing a bad review on one of the items and also by opening a complaint in PayPal. The communication between the two of us resulted in them telling me if I dropped the complaint they would refund forty dollars. I decided to take it because it was so expensive to send the items back. They refunded only 30 dollars instead of 40. So they don't even stand up to an agreement they make with you. I will never buy from this company again. You get what you pay for. In my case....trash.

WORST online buying experience.... Go Amazon and pay little more but never buy stuff from Lightinthebox ever.... I ordered a number of items from this website with an expedited shipment of 3-4 days. While there was no progress on the order in first 4 business days, it got shipped from China on 6th business day showing the estimated delivery on 9th day. On top of that, to my surprise, I was asked to pay for customs duties which was not at all mentioned when ordering the items. Ultimately, I ended up paying more than their advertised prices.

I had placed an order for an outfit for a 20’s theme party. I paid $30 for expedited shipping as I needed the product by Dec 13th. Since the confirmation indicated my product would be shipped on Dec 18th I cancelled my order. I got a note on the Dec 12th indicating the order was cancelled but that my refund would be applied as a credit to the account. I have no desire to ever shop here so demanded my refund back on my credit card. This is absolutely unacceptable in this digital era where companies should pay attention to their customers and respect and honour the policies. I would not recommend this company ever.

The company did return the 22 dollar cod charge to my PayPal after some prodding. I consider this resolved.
Original Review: Dec. 14, 2019
I am from Canada. For whatever reason, I thought I was buying from Mountain Equipment Co-op for a pair of rain pants. I discovered that I made a mistake and had already ordered a pair of pains at an 80% discount..only 59 dollars or so. I wait a few weeks and a package arrives from a PO box in Ontario with a cash on delivery charge of $22.00. A complete surprise to me and it was the Lightinthebox item. The company claims that they are import taxes but they will be happy to reimburse my Paypal in 3-5 business days.
Over 3 weeks ago and tried contacting them but nothing. I have ordered several times from Gearbest.. Aliexpress, etc and have never paid this. Even if it was a tax it wouldn't be close to this. I've seen several reviews and this seems to be a common practice for this company. They try to make it look like it's not their doing which, I believe, is complete garbage. The pants may have been worth $20 and were smaller than advertised. I went to Mountain Equipment and bought superior pants for $90.00. Enjoy my money you bunch of crooks.

This is an appalling and utterly dishonest site. The Internet is full of complaints if you Google Light In The Box. They "appeared" to be a North American company but no, they are Chinese and they ship from China. All those five star reviews you will read ARE BS. You go and Google them on other sites and find out the real truth. You will be conned. You will probably have to pay customs charges and they will NOT refund the charge either. If you refuse to accept the goods and they are returned back to them, you will NOT be refunded at all. The goods will often not arrive after you have paid a premium courier charge and if you pay that bogus insurance offer with your courier charge, it will be completely ignored. That is just a load of bunkum.
It is an appalling site. The goods are shoddy, thin fabric and almost always the incorrect site. They will tell you it is a US size but it will not be. It will be a Chinese size which is vastly different. How this firm is able to stay in business I do not know and of course, it is up to you to decide if you want to purchase from them but I guarantee you, YOU WILL BE APPALLED WITH THEM AND WISH YOU HAD NOT DONE SO. Up to me, but from mine and hundreds and hundreds of other negative posts, avoid this business at all costs.

I ordered the coat on Nov 8th 2019 and it arrived on Nov 22nd 2019 at the Post Office.
Before could get my coat I was told there was a $24 Customs Charge. That was a surprise but I paid it. The day before the coat arrived I checked on the LightInTheBox website to see what was happening. The coat had been reduced to $33+ and a few hours later was on a some sore of sale for $3.99 and I had not received it yet. I hate being scammed. I was angry with myself for not checking out this company and then I started looking at reviews. A few were satisfied customers but most were people who had problems with the company.
I took the coat home unwrapped it and tried it on. I really could not get it on but very carefully managed to get it on. It was way too small. A few reviews I had read about the coat said it ran small so I ordered 2 sizes up but it was still to small. I was beyond disappointed. I was furious. Now I had a coat that cost me $90 and did not fit. The returns process seemed like a nightmare and I decided to see if the coat would fit one of my granddaughters rather than send it back. Returning seemed like a nightmare and I would have had to pay return shipping and would only receive about $30 as a refund.
There is a saying "You can fool some of the people some of the people some of the time and all of people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

I recently purchased a Santa outfit that was not as advertised. I gave LightInTheBox only one star as a result. Having dealt with the excellent people in customer service who not only refunded my tax within a few days as I had paid insurance for same, Rebecca offered me a solution which was both fair and suitable in that she refunded 50%of the costume and told me to keep the costume. I cannot fault the customer service. Their response was timely and to the point. The matter was resolved quickly and I am happy to increase my rating of light in the box to four stars.

I ordered an XXXL outfit from Light in the Box. When it arrived it had many problems: Not an XXXL Just a large at most. No moustache or beard. No cape as shown in description photo. Belt would not fit a child! Very poor quality gloves. The fur trim is shedding everywhere and is probably a fire hazard. I paid €73 but to be honest, I'd feel ripped off if I had paid €23, that's how poor the quality and finish is, plus, I had to pay 30 in tax so all in all I paid 100 for a really poor quality outfit that wouldn't fit a small man. Don't waste your time or money on Light In The Box products. I was scammed by the reviews which gave the costume 5 stars and have now realised that one person, no doubt an employee, has submitted the same review 5 times! Be warned!

Updated on 11/22/2019: I am appalled with the response I got from this company. For goods that are below standard, and different from the specification, they merely offer an apology with the following options:
1. Return products at full refund. My issue with this is that I must get to an additional expense for postage costs from Cape Town South Africa to China. Why?
2. Keep the products with 30% refund. Why would I keep trash? You deliberately sent substandard garments - the quality is appalling.
3. Keep the product with 50% rewards. Why would I have future dealings with your company after such a bad awful experience. I want nothing to do with your products. I have never come across such an evil intentioned company as this.
When you packed the garments you knew exactly what you were doing. You were deliberately malicious. You probably had a good laugh, thinking that I'm an idiot. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You don't deserve to our business. You are crooked crooks. With no remorse whatsoever.
Original review: Dress 1 - was advertised as inelastic and looked like a free-flowing fabric. What I got is shiny lycra that's body hugging. The neck on the advert is supposed to be seamless, what I got is ugly exposed stitches on the neckline. The pockets are below my hips. Dress 2 - on advert looks like polyester cotton combo, but in reality has a funny shiny fabric that looks like a hospital gown. Color was supposed to be grey, I got blue. There's fabric on the pockets without stitches. It's appalling. To return items I'm expected to pay for postage from South Africa to China for bad clothing items that were sent to me. I am extremely disappointed with this company.

I accepted the £25, from a guy called Fabio who I think is an alias they use to deal with complaints. Anyway, they then give bogus reasons why they can't make refunds to the card with which I paid with, then I give them Pay Pal as an option as they requested - then nothing happens, no emails now work to them and so on.

There's too much to complain about, so I'm just going to put it all in bullet point format;
- I paid duty fees and taxes up front alongside the order, bringing my total shipping and handling charges to $22.33 for a large envelope. LightInTheBox must have pocketed this money because none of the duty fees were paid for and my packaged was held in another country.
- By this point the package was over two weeks late, and LightInTheBox was demanding that I pay for the duty a second time. When I obviously told them no, I would not pay duty twice, they abandoned the discussion.
- A month later, in May, LightInTheBox sent me a message asking me why their package was delivered back to their warehouse, and if I would like a refund. When I said yes, they closed the ticket and never responded back without giving me my refund.
- In October, Visa informed me that LightInTheBox was potentially trying to make an unauthorized charge on my card.
- Turns out, EVEN THOUGH LightInTheBox had my money AND my package, they were trying to charge me a second time for duty on the same package from March.
- Make another ticket about this.
- The representative says they have no history of them ever receiving my package back at their warehouse, DESPITE THEM PREVIOUSLY ASKING ME WHY MY PACKAGE WAS BACK AT THEIR WAREHOUSE.
- I screencap everything and escalate it to a supervisor, which claims will get back to me within one business day.
- It has now been ONE MONTH with no response.
Long story short, NEVER DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. They are a SCAM. They lie to you every step of the way and just try to find ways to scam more money out of you. This has been the more nightmarish $56.64 I have ever spent in my life and it keeps coming back to bite me in the ass every few months. This isn't incompetence, this is flat out fraud on LightInTheBox's part.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. As for your case, please let me explain what happened firstly.
Firstly, we're sorry that you might misunderstand the shipping time. Please kindly note 3-5 business days is only for shipping, not including the processing time. Before your order is shipped off, we have to process your order and put all your items through its strict quality control tests. We clearly stated the processing time on the product page. We feel sorry that you did not notice it when you placed this order.
For your order:
The processing time was 4-7 business days. So your order was not delayed in the processing phase when it was placed on 2019-03-27 and shipped out on 2019-04-02.
The shipping time was 3-5 business days. So your order was not delayed in the shipping phase either when it was attempted to be delivered on 2019-04-05.
Furthermore, please be noted the "CAD0.84" you paid was NOT tax fee. It was paid as "Tax Insurance". It means that if you are charged tax fee upon order delivery, this insurance can help you get 100% reimbursement of the tax fee.
In previous Ticket 19457284, we promised that we would cover 100% tax fee for you. But we feel sorry that you still chose to refuse this package.
After checking, we received the rejected package. But based on our policy, if the package is returned to our warehouse because of customer's personal reason (such as customer refuses to accept package/pay tax fee), we could only arrange the reshipment as long as you re-pay us the reshipment postage. However, please understand that no refund will be issued in this situation.

Hello Jan,
I appreciate your message.
I feel sorry that, based on the pictures you sent, we cannot classify this return as made over quality reasons.
We understand some colors might be slightly different than expected - you basically said the yellow tends to a golden nuance - but this is hand-made painting, not a printing, and as we state on our website slight differences are actually the guarantee they get painted by hand by a real artist and not a machine.
Again, I am sorry for this unusual situation and any discomfort this may have caused to you. I will immediately refund you 90 CAD.
I have tried my best to help you. If you are satisfied with my solution, will you please kindly help me change the rating on TrustPilot to 3-5 stars and let other customers know the case is being taken cared of or just remove both reviews? So that other customers will not be misled that we don't care about our customers as we really do.
The refund will be sent to your card which you used to pay for this order. It usually takes 3-5 days to be processed by us. depending on your local bank, it may take up to 7-25 days for you to receive it on your credit card, as it normally takes up to one billing cycle for them to execute it. Please contact your bank branch if you have any concern on their refund time frame.
Thank you very much for your kind support.

Stay away from this website. It is not transparent in their service. It is not clearly stated that you cannot return all goods. I was asked to pay in advance for custom even if I had paid for the custom insurance. I refused to do so, because I could not rely on their payment in consideration of the very poor experience and, I never received the package or got a refund. These type of websites are the ones that ruin the entire ecommerce industry. Do not purchase from here.

It was not a winter jacket, it was an extremely ugly underjacket, not even close to what is on the photo. I wish I could attach photos to my review. I paid 25 eur for it+ 5 eur shipping cost+10 eur customs fee. My 40 eur went straight to the trash bin. It's extremely overpriced clothes with zero quality.
Hello Tetyana,

I feel very sorry that you're not happy with this item: http://www.lightinthebox.com/_p7601403.html
Please kindly note that " winter " is different from area to area, so if you live an area where the weather is particularly cold, the jacket alone might not be sufficient to cover from cold and you might need to wear more cloths.
In this case, we'd like to know if you want us to arrange a return for you.
Or, as an alternative solution, we can also discount half of the price.
Thank you very much for your kind support.
If I can do anything else for you, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you.

Updated on 11/13/2019: I was unhappy with my order but it was not the color it was supposed to be. When I reported this to the company, they initially refused to do anything, arguing that the garment had been "handmade" (clearly not) and the color was within a reasonable variation (it was not). When I gave them a negative review here on Consumer Affairs, they suddenly wanted me to be happy, so they offered me a 50% refund, which I accepted. Today I received this: Total purchase amount $31.74 USD. Amount refunded $8.00 USD. I am not a mathematician, but that is not a 50% refund.
Original review: I will never shop at LightInTheBox again. First, I paid an outrageous fee to get my article in a reasonable amount of time. When I got it, it was the wrong color. They did not admit their error and then added insult to injury by refusing to allow me to return it, as it was "made to order." It is clearly an inferior, machine-made product. I believe this is the perfect example of the phrase, "What a racket!"

I have ordered from this company 3 times. The first 2 times, the size and quality of the single items I ordered were as stated on the website. The third time, I ordered costumes for 3 actresses. The sizing was wrong on ALL of them. The sizes did not match what was listed on the website. Two of the dresses were 2 inches smaller in the torso than the site listed. The jacket for one of the outfits was ordered in a size L adult. The jacket barely came to the breastbone on my size 6 actress while the skirt was so long that the amount of hemming required ruined the detailing on the bottom of the skirt. Light in the box refused any returns, due to the items being in the costume category, even though the mistakes were made by them.

Pleas be noted your dress is a Made-To-Order item. It means that we did NOT have this dress in stock. After you placed this order, we would contact our tailors to make a NEW dress for you. So your dress required "Processing Time" before shipment. This was why your order could not be shipped as soon as it was placed. Your order was NOT delayed.
We clearly state the processing time of your order on the product page, which is "6-10 business days". We are sorry that you did not notice it when you placed the order.
Your placed the order on 2019-10-10 and asked to cancel it on 2019-10-14. It was over 24 hours of purchase. Company policy states that all Made-To-Order orders that are cancelled after 24 hours of purchase, 50% of the dress price will be charged as a handling fee. Here is the link of our Cancellation Policy:https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Cancellation-Policy.html
It seemed that you disagreed with the handling fee, so we shipped out your order. We are sorry that you still want to return this order.

I cannot seem to find a way to get my pre-sale questions answered. My first question is – what is the warranty on bathroom fixtures? If the fixture fails in six months or a year, is there any warranty? My second question is — what about replacement parts? What if I need a new cartridge for example in a couple of years? Is it available from lightinthebox?
My third question is some of the fixtures I am looking at are called antique brass, others are called antique copper. They look exactly the same in the photos, but I obviously need to know before I order them whether they are going to match? Also, I am buying fixtures with ceramic handles with blue cornflower decoration. I ordered one item separately to look at it first and I love it, but when I look at what appeared to be matching items online for other fixtures in the same bathroom, the flowering looks black, not blue. But maybe it is just the photo. I have the two item numbers, and I need to know if they will match, before I order.
This is Customer Service from LightInTheBox. We are delighted to help with all your problems.
Question I: If the bathroom fixture is from Category "Home Improvement", the warranty is 1 year. If the bathroom fixture is from other Categories, the warranty is 30 days.
Our Return Policy Link: https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.3.87.0
Question II: If the accessory part has a quality problem within warranty, we'd like to reship you the replacement part for free.
However, if out of the warranty you need a accessory part, we can also ship the replacement part for you. But please understand that you need to pay for it.
Question III: All our products will be made to match exactly what you see in the online photos. But if you still concern, you may raise a question in "Q&A" section on the product page of related products. Our professional customer service will help check your question with our suppliers.

Initially had trouble communicating with company that I had encountered an unusual problem with a pair of ice skating tights I had ordered. I am happy to say the customer service group at Light in The Box came through - they are giving me a full refund as they understand the unique situation this was. Told me I did not need to return the tights, as the process to go through China takes a long time - great. The key thing I learned here is Communication, if at first it does not work try again - I am comfortable ordering merchandise through Light In The Box again and I recommend if you are looking for a skating or dance outfit - you should check them out - great selection and good prices too.
Original Review: Oct. 6, 2019
Ordered a pair of skating tights, noticed after trying them on my hands and fingernails were stained purple - really never had encountered this before. I went onto LightInTheBox website and opened a ticket which starts the process for a return. LightInTheBox initially responded but they have not returned my last two emails. The tights are defective, simply want to return for refund - never wore them, tags are still on them. Yes this company has nice merchandise but they have terrible customer service. When my tights arrived I noticed there was no invoice included which I thought was odd. There are too many online dance and skating websites - I will never order anything from them again. I had hoped they would do the right thing. The other thing that is odd, there is no phone number on their website or their correspondence where you can call - not a good sign. Beware.

I had an upcoming themed event and needed items for the event. Found this one online and the reviews of the products seemed ok. What I didn’t know was how much they lie and false advertise about the processing and delivery/shipping time! I placed my order on Sept 19 and purposely ordered the items I did because they were marked as processing and being shipped out within 24 hours - FALSE!!! Took 6 days Sept 25 (4 business days). Then I intentionally paid the extra shipping to ensure I’d receive the order in 4-7 business days - FALSE!!!! It’s now been 9-10 days (8 business days) and my order is nowhere in sight!
I’ve been in constant contact with customer service, who gives me a different excuse and timeline each day along with a tracking number and site that says it’s not in the system. As of this morning, customer service says it’ll be another 7-10 days for the order. My event was today so I no longer want or need the items, and they tell me if I reject the package, I’ll be issued a full refund once they receive it back on their end (at this rate, it’ll be another 2 months unless this is all a scam!) or I can wait to receive it and work through their return service and they’ll pay half the return shipping costs or offer a reward to use! Are you kidding me?!
Why should I pay a dime towards any return shipping costs when the order was NOT fulfilled as guaranteed on their end?! And why would I want to order with them again?! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! Stay far away from this company unless you have months of time to wait to receive your order after you’ve paid for faster shipping! So disappointed in this experience. We’ll see if the order ever shows up and if I ever get a refund - not hopeful on it! (Order **)

Original Review: Sept. 28, 2019
I ordered a dash camera and paid full amount of price for the camera (CAD$69.99) and shipping charge (CAD$9.93). When I went to Canada Post to pick up the parcel, I found that I had to pay extra COD (cash on delivery) of CAD$15.84 to get the item. I was confirmed by Canada Post that this COD was not tax/duty and they did not charge anything on this item. The tracking record from Canada Post also shows that this COD was requested by the sender and was issued back to the sender. So this extra charge for delivery was unfair and should be returned to me. Lightinthebox just ignored my evidence and request. I will not buy anything on this website! Beware for other shoppers that you could be charged by hidden fees! No star for Lightinthebox.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am glad to help.
We've asked our logistics department to double check your case with the Canada Post and confirm the CAD15.84 was charged as "Tax Fee". The Canada Post provided you with inaccurate information. We have asked them to correct this mistake and try to avoid it happens again. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please note that 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.

They offered me keeping the item and, 20% refund or 30% bonus on the site but I want my money back and do not want this crap item at all so I want to send it back all the way to CN. I have been still waiting for their return address because it says on their website like "do not send without CS assistance". Well okay, it's been 2 days and CS is disappeared. I will see, still hoping they will resolve my ticket and I will be refunded. (order number: **) (ticket number: **)

Update 9/25/2019: Light in the box you haven't responded back. We you have you say want to help and your sorry. This issue has been unresolved for over a month. I have provided you with all the information. I informed you that you shirt doesn't meet the correct size as listed by the sizing chart for the product I order. I would even provide a photo of two shirts with the same sizing chart as proof. Your website says satisfaction guarantee, but this is obviously false advertising. I sure hope the $11.00 you cheated me out of was worth it as it's the last. I also made sure this is shared on social media, so other consumers don't have to go thru this nonsense. I have been informed by this site Consumer Affairs that this is my last reply. You have my contact info and choose not to respond. This company has had many opportunities to resolve, but they are sorry. The issue has been left unresolved
Update 9/17/2019: I had purchased a couple of 3D T-shirts back in July. I noticed the shirt didn't fit right. The other shirt I purchased did. Both shirts were the same size. I believe the shirt may have been mislabeled as large. I contacted Light in a box. They recommend I keep the shirt and buy a new one. This didn't solve the issue as now, I'm stuck with a shirt that's too small and no guarantee of getting the right shirt. I even measured the shirts and in fact different sizes.
Original review: This is simple. I purchased Shirts on Aug 3 and to date never received them. I inquired about a refund and was told no, while other staff give me the runaround. I will never do business with them again as customer can only be reach by Submit a ticket, that 1 day to get a response that leads to more questions.
Hi David,
so sorry for the trouble.
Please note you had put a different phone number and that might have created some misunderstanding with the delivery.
Now we've informed FedEx about your correct phone number. They will reschedule your delivery.
Please kindly be available at the phone if needed by the delivery guy.

Hello! Last weekend I was trying to help a distant friend, and placed an order for some goods. Nothing special just some computer screws and parts he would need. He helped me once and I'm trying to return the favor. Long story short, this site simply took my email address from my PayPal account and registered me (without my consent) using my friend's name and delivery address (we are not even from the same EU country). I did not create an account nor did I want any, all I wanted was to order some things to some address, plain and simple.
There is simply no option on the site to contact customer service anything else but:
- Change Shipping Address- Check Your Order Progress
- Custom Duty Issue
- Cancel Order
And there is also no option to delete my account (can't even change the e-mail address to his without confirming mine first, what I will definitely and obviously not do).
This is all very illegal here and a clear violation of the European customer protection and GDPR laws. This organization is using my personal information without my consent, and denies me all the options to take actions against it. I want the products I paid for and I want all my personal information deleted immediately, except the delivery name and address, that's all what is needed, nothing else. Ui.: I won't even start on the "Priority Line (4-7 business days)" shipping option I chosen, which apparently means that they will only ship the goods after 4-7 days and not deliver them like how any other respected online store would for the same price.
Hello Ika,
Sorry but we could not understand well. Have you placed an order or not yet? If you have, it's normal that you have had an account created as it's necessary to follow the status.
You may provide the order number and tell us more about the issue encountered. Thank you

Dear Customer, we would really like to help, but we found out you left this review without any order number.
In general, what we mean for tailored or made to order clothes is clothes made by hand by our tailors. It does not matter if you choose regular size, you're still paying for a tailoring service. This is explained in our website under the return policy and on the made to order clothed dresses.
Please note that tailored clothes are still totally covered under warranty. That is we take full responsibility for any error of the tailor or other quality issues.
However, we cannot accept any return for personal reasons for free. The reason is that you still must pay for the manpower if you chose a non-in-stock dress. That cost is not refundable for personal reasons, sorry.
We feel sorry for that. Please, could you provide your order number?For us it's important to assist you and solve your problem. Thank you.

Updated on 10/26/2019L Have tried to get a refund for items without any success. Have complied with all company instructions. They admit that their contact information is not good as well as their refund system. It is now more than 60 days since I returned goods and Light in the Box have closed my order without a refund. Most of the complaints about this business are about refunds. They don't have a refund system. They hope you will just give up. If I could give this company minus stars I would. Disgraceful.
Original Review: I wish to return an item I recently purchase but the site makes this impossible. The return ticket can not be submitted until my email address is confirmed, but I have never received a confirmation email, and if I request one to be sent nothing comes through. I have purchased items in the past over the last 18 months, and all their advertising reaches my inbox without fault. I can not get in contact directly and their online chat support is never online. It seems to me that they are giving the image of allowing customer returns but make it impossible to do so. Consumer affairs seems to be the only avenue to contact them directly so I hope to get a response soon, but I am aware that this looks like a scam company.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am afraid that you misunderstood how to submit the ticket.
Please be noted the message you saw was just suggest you to confirm your email address at your earlier convenience. It did not means the ticket can only be submitted after the email was confirmed.

The experience with LightInTheBox started well with a fairly easy purchasing experience and prompt delivery. One of two bike jerseys fit well and were of decent quality. However they sent an Asian large instead of a US large for the second jersey. I sent in three tickets asking for an exchange, and their response was that my request was on day 20, and they won't exchange after 14 days. They were responding to my third request. I'm sorry but that's unacceptable.
This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I am glad to help.
We are afraid that you misunderstood the size of our products. Please be advised our clothes are made based on our own size charts. So when you pick size L, it means "Size L in our size chart" will be shipped to you. Our size L is different from US size L.
You ordered both Jerseys in our size L. But please be noted they were made per different size charts. We provide the corresponding size chart on each product page. So even if Green Jersey fits, it does not mean the Black+White Jersey will also fit. We appreciate your understanding in advance.
But if you confirm the Black+White Jersey was made in wrong measurements, we apologize for that. We will help further check this problem. Once we confirm this jersey was made incorrectly, we will take full responsibility of it.

Updated on 08/24/2019: Supervisor Fabio sent me an email promising to help if I furnished enough specific information to him. Of course I wanted to call his bluff, and I spent 3 hours getting bank information, account information, multiple ticket numbers and order numbers, dates ordered and received, and all the specific information for problems that were manifested over multiple orders and rewards. It turns out they won't accept my email due to no open tickets. When I went to my account, it looks cleared out of information. Communication is always one way with LightInTheBox. How can you resolve problems when communication is one way only.
Original review: The only thing that will return to LightInTheBox is a boomerang. But you must pay for the postage and you will get no refund. My orders with this company have problems piggybacked on other problems. Orders missing, no refund, fake address, no phone number, no working chat, no ability to solve problems, deleted internal tickets, incorrect size charts, customer service routinely telling customers to find someone else to wear clothes that are unacceptable, and a tendency to blame the customer, the carrier and other departments at LightInTheBox.
Their favorite way to handle complaints is to tell you to give them an order number and they will get back to you later. The truth is they will tell you everything has been resolved, but you can be sure it isn't. Their first offer is to give you a 20% refund. Don't worry, you won't get it even if you accept. You get one response from them (if that) on this site and you are done. But look at your account and see that nothing has changed. What do you do then? They just kicked your can down the road. Good Cop, Bad Cop. Your proverbial can is kicked down the long and winding road.
My order was sent back to the address I received from PayPal, because LightInTheBox would no give me an address. As it turns out that package could not be delivered. I found a reward on my site that was almost equal to the postage I lost on that order. So I decided to place another order to use the reward. The order showed up with the reward being extracted from my total. I cancelled it within 5 seconds and never got any refund, even though LightInTheBox took the money out of the bank. A message came on the screen to say an order cannot be cancelled. Also an email from LightInTheBox said in an email and on their website that the order was a go and it would be using my refund.
After two months I realized the order would not be sent and the reward expired. Then I requested the refund be put back on and my order completed. Of course that didn't happen even though my request has been resolved, at least according to LightInTheBox . When they consider you ticket resolved, you have no other way to communicate with them.
Any time I send an email to LightInTheBox (using the return email on the many promos I get from them, they answer to say my request cannot be linked to an open ticket. Also once a ticket has been closed there is no further discussion. They has sent me an email telling me the case has been resolved and further action will be taken by a supervisor. There is no supervisor and there is no way to talk with him.

Do not order anything from this company if you need it by the time frame they claim. Both their packaging and shipping time frames have been significantly longer than stated. I have communicated many time with them and have put in trouble tickets. Every time I get some very lame excuse and they close the ticket with zero resolution. I even told them before they shipped not to ship as I could tell they would arrive late based on the processing delay. They shipped anyway. I can tell it will be a battle to return and get paid paid back. I suggest you trust very little of what they have on their site and what their customer service people tell you.

My husband ordered a men's Large biking shirt, we followed the size guide on the website. It look a very long time to receive the wrong item, it was marked US S /AS L, this shirt would fit a small child. After several long, extensive e-mails telling us to send it back to China, or due to the no expense to donate or give to a friend, they had no intention of correcting their mistake. This is terrible! They represent bait and switch, I actually was in shock reading the non-return suggestions. Please do not order from this company. Buy American, they stand by their products.
Hello Cindy,
sorry to hear you've had a hard time in choosing your size. Please let us know your order number and we'll check your case, thank you

Fraudulent! I wish I had read all these bad reviews first - LightInTheBox does indeed sell absolute junk, and has the worst & most devious refund system I have ever come across. It guarantees you will lose both your money and the very poor quality items they send you. When received, the XL sized shirts I ordered would hardly fit a child....and from there on the process "went downhill" until I lost my money. They are an extremely poor advertisement for China's online shopping presence. NEVER, ever, buy from LightInTheBox!

Since I really care about your satisfaction, I'd rather prefer to sort it out for you on my own. Please trust me that I'll try my best to help you.
We're actually confused by your message, you raised one ticket (#19757359) only and asked a refund of the tax, we asked you a copy of the receipt (required by our insurance company) and then you attach it in reply. So we made a refund after that. We could not find any endless or repetitive message so we're not able to identify the issue you mentioned, sorry.
As indicated, The refund of 39.74 CAD will be sent to your card which you used to pay for this order. It usually takes 3-5 days to be processed by us. depending on your local bank, it may take up to 7-25 days for you to receive it on your credit card, as it normally takes up to one billing cycle for them to execute it. Please contact your bank branch if you have any concern on their refund time frame.
Thank you very much for your kind support.

Worst experience, do not even deserve one star. I have ordered 3 dresses that I have never received up to day. This so called Fabio keeps on telling me how the address was unmonitored. Whereas from the first place the orders where to be picked from local post office, how can that be unmonitored. PLEASE people out there stay away from this fraud Chinese website. It is just a scam. I demand my money to be refunded (700kr) all in vain.
This so called Fabio keeps on playing with words like "unmonitored address", "tried to deliver at your address", "that I was never home", “check your local post office". What should I believe, this shows how incapable you are. I have wrote several email all in vain, no contact whatsoever. Cheap things are expensive. My dresses were summer use, and the summer is soon over here in Norway. I never been swindled on the internet like this LightInTheBox. Can someone out there help me. How do I get my refund and I do close the chapter????

Updated on 08/03/2019: I haven't gotten my order, My "Package" keeps getting pushed back further each time, I paid for this on July 22nd. Now here's some added information. This is a damn present for my nephew who collects these things and to find some that's affordable is beyond amazing. But nothing like this comes without strings attached, I just didn't know the strings attached would be not actually getting anything you paid for, even at the TIME you estimated and paid for... Why did I even pay extra for the supposed to meet I would get it, if it wasn't going to arrive?
*I was also Damn near promised I would get it by August 2nd. The estimated time was 8:00 pm, I waited all day and constantly checked downstairs. I've been doing this from July 30th-August 2nd*. Now I'm just tired.. So tired, I am never one to order online to untrustworthy companies and this.... Isn't cutting it. Now it's either I wait an entire ** weekend and still may not get it. Or I file a dispute try for a refund that I still may not get. Thanks for nothing.
Original Review: Please help me, the tracking for my packages is not working well, and I live in the upstairs apartment. I have grabby neighbors who steal mail.

Since I really care about your satisfaction, I'd rather prefer to sort it out for you on my own. Please trust me that I'll try my best to help you.
First I would like to apologize to you for the unexpected delay.
Your order was shipped out via ChinaPost-track-Bao Tongda on June 9, 2019. The parcel code is RV934852072CN.
I am very sorry to inform you that your package might be slightly delayed.
Since it was shipped out by Airmail, it needs to be transferred among several countries through their local post offices. Also, it will get through Customs Clearance, and some facilities may require more time for the officers to open and check it. I need to mention that any bad weather or strike could potentially affect the delivery time.
Our Logistics manager told us that most delayed packages get delivered to the United States within sixty days. More important, our manager will be able to submit an inquiry to the carrier in the remote case you should not have received it by that date.
For this reason, it's really likely that you will receive your package before August 8, 2019.
Would you be willing to please wait some extra days? I am so sorry for you waiting longer than expected and I hope you may understand it does not depend on us.
Please allow me to assure you that we are a very professional online shopping store. We totally care about our Customers: this is why we have been successfully running our Company for over 10 years. We owe it to our Customers who in the end are always satisfied with our service. This is just to say that we will always take full responsibility for any issue of your order, you have nothing to worry about.
If you do not receive your package by that day, please just contact us again or raise a new ticket. I promise that we'll file a case with the post office to check where your package is and why it hasn't arrived to you yet.
You may also try contacting your local post office to inquire about it with the reference # RV934852072CN.

Updated on 07/26/2019: It is over 3 weeks and I STILL HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONTACT with this company. The time for a refund or exchange is very nearly up. I have NOT been able to correct my email address on their site either. I think I will be stuck with an item I can't use because there is NO COMMUNICATION between the company and me.
Updated on 07/18/2019: I am still waiting for a response from anyone at LightInTheBox. The 30 days will soon expire on returns/exchange and no one has contacted me. I still don't know how to reach them and have my email address with an error.
Original review: I purchased a blazer and have been trying for the las 4 hours to get in touch (by phone and online) with anyone in Customer Service. The phone number listed 1-877-745-7267 does not belong to LightInTheBox. Every time I have gone online I have NOT been able to get anything resolved except to get pop ups for PDF converters. I have also Googled the return address on the package and found it to be an apartment building in Jamaica, NY not a business address so no chance of getting a phone number there. I have also tried to correct my email address and have been blocked from doing this as well. DO you want repeat customers or not? I want an EXCHANGE or REFUND ASAP. My Order #: **

Updated on 07/06/2019: Received the wrong size shoes. Received authorization to return them and did so following their instructions exactly. Heard nothing for a month and then posted a bad review. They referred the complaint to CONSUMERAFFAIRS. Through them I got a response from "Supervisor Fabio" telling me to return the shoes. Obviously I can't return them again as I already did so a month ago. LightInTheBox.com is a joke.
Original review: Ordered a pair of US size 10 shoes. The shoes that arrived were size 6.5. When I complained, LightInTheBox said they shipped the size I ordered. Sure LightInTheBox. At the age of 72 I got my shoe size wrong by more than three sizes. Nope, sorry. You shipped the wrong size. LightInTheBox sent instructions for how to return the shoes, which I followed precisely. I even used scissors to cut out the return address and glued that to the package so there could be no error. More than a month has elapsed since I returned the shoes. No word from LightInTheBox.com.

Update: 07/09/2019: On June 29, 2019, I agreed upon a partial refund of half the cost of the dress and I would keep it and fix myself. Light in the Box told me to give it up to 5 business days. Today is July 9 and still no refund. I went on their website and they have not only closed my ticket, they have closed my order so I can't contact customer service about it. Also, my negative review of the dress does not show up unless I log in as myself. When friends of mine look at the dress description on the website, there is nothing but glowing reviews. I looked at over 30 other dresses and not one had below a 4 star rating. Not one! This leads me to believe they purposely block negative reviews to deceive buyers. I have filed a claim with PayPal and hope to recoup something through them.
Original review: The only thing nice I can say about this dress is it came on time. The dress I received is very little like the dress they show in the picture. For one thing the dress is not a true black as pictured but closer to a navy blue because the black is faded. Also there are white ribbons running throughout the dress that are pictured on their website as being either black or dark grey, definitely not bright white. These ribbons are to gather the top skirt of the dress but several broke when I gently pulled on them. The ruffles on the dress they picture are wide and the collar is tall but the dress I received has thin ruffles and a short collar. The bottom of the skirt is not hemmed either. It is serged which is what is done to fabric edges to keep it from fraying but not used as a hem.
Customer service has been anything but helpful requesting the same info over and over which I send but they keep claiming to not receive. Also my negative review of this dress is no longer on their website, only positive reviews. I spent over $105 on a dress which is only worth at best $35 as a Halloween costume. I have finally had to file a dispute with PayPal to try to get my money back and so far, they have ignored it as well. I have purchased from companies in China similar to this one and never had a problem. This one had been an absolute nightmare.

1 week ago I bought some tattoo goods. I paid from my debit card. But this LightInTheBox did not send any mail regarding this yet. My money already went thru online transaction. That’s why it doesn't even show any record in my account also if I open it. It shows only the previous one which I had bought long time back. But there is not any record that I bought something. But money gone. This is fraud. I found my order number from Google history. I have proof that I bought it and paid it... But LightInTheBox is fraud... They took my money and did not sent any mail. This company doesn't even have any contact number. Can you believe it? Only you can contact through mail. Please don't pay online from card. If possible don't buy anything from this site. I need my money back. Or I need those goods.

I've purchased from this company on three separate occasions recently, all men's shoe purchases for myself. The first time the shipping was outstanding. Multiple emails on my shipping progress and the goods arrived within 7 days. Not bad seeing it came from China. Unfortunately, the shoes were way too small for me. I'm a size 8.5 and have been for many years. I'm 57, so I think my feet stopped growing a loooong time ago. The shoes that arrived are size 42 which is supposed to be my size (8.5) according to their shoe size conversion drop down box on the web site. These things are tiny and I knew as soon as I opened the box and saw them that there was going to be no way they would fit. I did try them, but I had no chance of getting them on. Roughly $75 down the drain.
My daughter convinced me to try again seeing the shoes looked so nice, so, I threw caution to the wind and ordered the equivalent of a size 11, and paid extra to have them delivered in 3-5 working days. 3 days later my order was still showing "In Progress". When I raised a ticket with them on their website, they replied and said that my order would leave within 48 hours. So much for paying extra for fast delivery. 4 days later the shoes arrived -in a plastic satchel -loose (no box) as the first pair had arrived in. Upon opening it and trying them on I found that they fitted. However, being shipped without a box had allowed the shoes to scuff each other in transit, only minor scuffs but still scuffed. We're talking about high gloss "patent leather" shoes here.
Now, I've ordered again from them. I thought "the shoes are nice enough and comfortable to wear, I can live with the scuffs, I'll give it another shot". Once again I ordered size 11's and paid extra to have them shipped to me within 3-5 working days. After 3 days I checked them to see if they'd been shipped - "In Progress" the order status said. Once again I raised a ticket and was told it would be shipped within 48 hours. Here it is 9 days since I placed my order and the order status is STILL showing "In Progress". I really wanted this company to be my new go to place. Somewhere I could recommend to friends and family with confidence. My whole experience has been nothing short of bitterly disappointing.

My message to anyone - stay away from stuff made in China. My daughter at school could of made a better job. Why bother selling stuff when you know it will get returned.
