    Misrepresentation advertising - Small model 'speed formula' race car was suppose to be radio controlled, and it was only an inertia one, roll back, it goes forward. Set of flashing lights, plug for transformer to place into the wall, was an European type plug not US one. I had to go and purchase an US one that cost twice what the lights cost???

    Bought a kitchen faucet, installed 34 months ago, since 18 months we have written to them and they supposed to send us parts. TIRED OF WAITING, I asked for a refund. They refuse and said NO MORE WARRANTY. This is an UNNAMED FAUCET, impossible to find parts. Do not buy anything from this company. Shoppers be warned. Spend over 100 $ for a poor quality faucet... never again, finish for me LightInTheBox.

    The company contacted me and they promised a refund for my first order, however they still want me to wait two more weeks for the second order, I sincerely hope to receive the order in those two weeks and forget about this. I am glad that the company replied to me and I hope that this will end happily and forget about this.

    Hello, I ordered two things with them, mobiles, and after 60 days waiting to be delivered because they asked me to wait that long because I live in the French Guiana, I have not received my orders yet, and I asked for a refund, my money back and customer service does not even answer my questions, they are completely ignoring me, I do not what to do. I would like someone to help me. I ordered 3 phones, not very expensive ones, but I have spent 300€.

    Horrible after sales, with just ready answers and nothing to deal with the problem caused by the least. I bought a cell phone that on the website reported 1-2 days for shipping after payment confirmation. I paid with a credit card in which the confirmation is at the same time in any online store of name like Banggood, Geekbuying, GearBest and Aliexpress, but with this store I did not have to open ticket and send payment voucher and even then it took 2 days to confirm the payment. Then it took 1 week (7 days) to send the cell being that they were to have sent in up to 2 days.

    Ai immediately after the shipment I am 11 days following the tracking code for track 17 and it appears as a package not found in the system, that is, it seems that the product has not been shipped in the way chosen by the Swiss post. I was able to locate some information on the internet and it shows that the package did not even leave Switzerland, that is, 11 days waiting and nothing comes to Brazil. That is, I do not recommend for the total neglect of the Lightinthebox team and all the hype and or mess they made in my first and last purchase with them.

    Do not do business with LightInTheBox. From what I have read and from my own experience this company is a scam. 6/11/18 I placed an order. 6/13/18 my money was taken from my account. As I continue tracking my package is supposedly in transit. After two weeks I inquire with customer service and I am told the order is almost to be delivered. A few days later I receive an email that it has been delivered but I have not received anything as of 7/1/18. When I inquire I again receive the msg that it has been delivered. No help at all from these thieves.

    Don't waste your valuable time and money by ordering from LightInTheBox. My worst online shopping experience so far in my life. Ordered a phone and paid for it. They did not process my order even after 2 WEEKS. I asked for canceling my order. After 2 weeks of emailing them every day, they are still sending me template emails that we are facing some technical problems. I have lost my 350 euros, 1 month of time, and lots of time spending on asking for my order or money back. Don't waste your valuable time and money by ordering from LightInTheBox!

    I chose to buy a wig from LightInTheBox in dire circumstances (chemotherapy). I paid for Expedited Express which according to their Shipping FAQ should be done via - . However, the vendor chose to ship my parcel via NLPost! I still waited patiently, but 2 weeks hence there is no trace of my order. I have banged my head against customer service and also escalated it to a supervisor. Only to receive a brilliant reply asking me to check the courier tracking website and a shipping amount refund, wait for it, a rewards voucher to again buy from their website!

    Not my money back, so to speak. The package has left the origin country but not yet reached my country (I have checked with our postal dept as well). There is no update on the tracking website after 16th June. The customer service are just not prepared to reply further! Isnt it their responsibility, given the idiotic dispatch via normal post despite paying for premium?

    I placed an order for a RC car. The expected shipping day came and went. About 5-6 days after I ordered I emailed customer service to find out what was going on. They told me it was out of stock indefinitely and they were refunding my money. I wish they would have told me that right after I ordered instead of waiting for me to contact them. Also I searched the site and they had the exact same RC car in stock at that very moment. It was just a little more money. Ridiculous.

    I placed an order (Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner) in the lightinthebox.com. When I checked out, the webpage said my credit card was declined. So I tried other cards and tried several times. I thought the transaction was not successful. However, I received a notice after from several banks that saying those tryings were all successful. So I ended up paying 5 times for just 1 item. I was so surprised that I didn't even receive any confirmation letter then the company had processed the payment for 5 times with falsely showing "declined". The contact information of this company is hidden and you can never find a proper channel to talk to anyone about your case. I have canceled the orders before any confirmation. There is no reason that they don't refund me! Is there any way to remind people not buying stuffs from this company? They are really good at lies!

    I would strongly advise you to avoid this company like the plague. The item took 1 month to arrive although they advised it would take from 6 to 11 working days to get there. The customs taxes were £12 for a £31 order (not their fault on that one but would be good to be warn beforehand), anyhow it makes those items less appealing once you have to add that cost. When I contacted customer service to cancel/return the order, I was told I would be charged double shipping fee. If you pay the custom duty, accept the package and return it, you will have to pay for postage. The refund will be USD 22, which is half of what I paid. So I basically lost £16 for an order that I've not even seen. It will take 4 to 8 weeks to get refunded. I've asked for the complaint procedures but can not get an answer from customer service for this either. I think I've said enough!

    As seen in the order, I ordered a black dance shoe. The shipment took a while to come through, it's from China, and they sent the wrong color. I contacted customer service, they asked for the picture, now they said the shoe color match with the barcode, it's the correct item. What kind of logic is that. PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! They sent the wrong item and refused to take it back. I wonder even if I pay out of pocket to send it back, they still may not refund the money. They are bunch of crooks. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

    The dress I ordered was not even close to what I received. Do NOT do business with Light in the Box aka BestSellDress. Same company. They sent me this atrocious looking dress that was of poor construction and in bright red lace with burgundy accents! It clashes and not even close to the color that I ordered. It looked completely different from the picture. Good luck trying to find out how to do a return! When you click on refunds and returns, it says the page is no longer available. No packing slip came with the dress and the return address was so confusing, there was no way to determine if it was even a real address. Shady. Shady. Shady. Wish I would’ve read the reviews first.

    I viewed two shirt styles at LightInTheBox.com in February 2018. I place an order for 3 shirts. I received 3 shirts 30 days later in March 2018. The shirts were extremely too small. One day after receiving the order, I requested and received permission to return the shirts for a larger size. I returned the shirts to an address in the United States. LightInTheBox notified me via email that my return order had been received. Shortly afterwards, I was notified that my new order had been shipped from LightInTheBox.

    I received the order in April 2018, but the packaged contained only one shirt. I awaited an email or package deliver of the other two shirts. I did not receive an email or package. On May 4, 2018 I contacted LightInTheBox via way of "my ticket" via its website. This is the only way to contact customer service. One has to choose between return or exchange on my ticket, which can be confusing if one has not received an order. On May 5, LightInTheBox responded to my request. I received excuses like, "you waited too late in notifying us that you had a problem with the order, it's not our fault you did not receive the package" etc.

    After many messages to customer service, I was told that I had an open ticket. An open ticket should mean that the order had not been filled; therefore it was not shipped to me and I could not have received said package. And I attempted to explain that I did not wish to make a return or an exchange due to I had not received the order. On May 14, 2018 I contacted management via their web system and was told the incident would be investigated. It's May 27, 2018 and I have received no information on my order. Finally, I have given up on receiving my order or a refund.

    I recently ordered a standard-sized figure skating dress for my granddaughter. I ordered a "Large." Was too big. Followed their rules & submitted "ticket" requesting return & full refund. Dress never worn, & tags still on. Was shocked when company response was "No." Company "claiming" this dress was "custom ordered," and "Made to Order Logo" is supposedly on product page. How can a dress be "custom ordered" when measurements were never provided?

    I sent Light in Box "screenshot" of product page which clearly shows standard ordering sizes of XS-XL, and NO "made to order" logo on the page! Since I sent product page photo & again requested full refund, I've heard NOTHING from this company. I believe this is a "standard practice" scam this company pulls to get them out of having to give refunds... They just falsely claim the item you purchased is "custom" and therefore, can't be returned. Avoid this business and don't get scammed like I did. Good luck.

    I ordered this dress on May 8th for an event June 4th. I gave them my measurements and it said 7 to 9 days to process and I paid $20 for expedited 3 - 5 shipping. There was a wrong measurement that was fixed by May 12th. They gave no updates and the order still said pending as of May 16 so I sent a message complaint to customer service. We have gone back and forth. I got a supervisor involved that said it would ship no later than May 26th. Now they sent an email that said it will ship around the 29th. So now I need to go find another dress for my event because it will not arrive in time. Their solution was a $10 off my next order coupon. I don't think so. I won't order from them again!

    I cannot recommend LightInTheBox. I recently placed an order for an item that was $8.00. I had ordered something five years ago and in the system they had an old address. I changed the address in the system before placing the order. When I received the order confirmation, they had not changed the address. I then cancelled the order, went back in to change my address again, confirmed that the first order was cancelled and placed the order again with the correct shipping address. LITB did not cancel my first order and subsequently sent both.

    I understand that things can go wrong. I tried to contact the company to straighten out the problem; however, there was no phone number to call that I could see. The options for emailing were limited by a drop-down menu. None of the options in the drop-down menu were about my issue. Therefore, I had to select one as there was no other option to get through to the company.

    The responses I received ignored the content of my message and instead responded to the issue that was listed in the drop-down menu. Presumably there are automated responses that are sent out depending on what is selected from that menu. Not good service. When I placed the order the second time I selected a different shipping option which was 15.00 less. The order from LightInTheBox for an item that was $8.02 was now going to cost me $30.02. I get it. If you want it faster, you need to pay the shipping cost. But once they realized I had ordered the item twice, instead of cancelling my first order with the higher shipping cost, they cancelled the second order with the lower shipping cost (total order cost $13 something as opposed to 30.02). Even though they were sending me emails about the situation, at no time was there an attempt made to clarify with me which order I intended to place.

    They did send me the number to call DHL to provide my correct address. When I did, I was informed that I would have to pay an additional fee for duty and taxes of 23.02. My 8.02 item is now costing me $53.04 and a whole lot of time and grief. I understand that when ordering from overseas, there will be duty and taxes. However, it was not made evident where the order would be coming from at anytime, nor was there any information or warning that there might be additional duty or an estimate of what those extra charges might be.

    Be warned when dealing with these knock down operations with the rock bottom prices. It may not be at all what you think. I can't recommend LightInTheBox because they are, at the very least, misleading, possibly intentionally so. Everyone wants to make a buck. I get that. But honesty and fairness go a long way towards repeat customers.

    I suggest you be very careful when deciding to deal with LightInTheBox. I ordered from them some dresses according to sizes worn in America. Of course, after a long, long time I received the dresses and they were all very small on me. True, they were cheap, but the materials they were made of were also very cheap. I tried to control my disappointment and politely emailed to them to send me a return slip because I didn't want to pay for their return. I send them many emails and every time I did, I got back a message "problem solved." I even had problems donating those dresses to thrift shops because the sizes were not fit for American people.

    We ordered a few wall paintings from them. Now, after about one month, it is clear that they have no intention to deliver. We were promised 5-7 days delivery using expedited service. When package failed to arrive, we were given lengthy explanations about storms in China which normally are causing "really huge delays", and were reassured to "keep waiting" and not to be worried. By now: Our package have disappeared and cannot be tracked anymore. And - they simple stopped replying to our emails.

I tried to use the "complain to a supervisor" link and got an autoreply that my "rating" does not allow me to address the supervisor. And of course, my previous inquiries (tickets) have been closed.

    I bought a figure skating dress for my daughter's first competition. The dress was very pretty but it ran on a small side, so I had to return it to exchange for one size up. However, the return/exchange process takes FOREVER!! It's been 6 weeks as I'm writing this review since I shipped back the product, but they still have not confirmed their receipt of the returned product. Since I needed the dress for the competition, I even offered to purchase a new one before my return is processed, but in the meantime, the price of the dress hiked up and they said they can't offer me the same price I originally paid for. I liked the dress a lot, but this return/exchange process is totally unacceptable.

    I had my attorney investigate this company a bit. Then I found out that LightInTheBox's Seattle address is FAKE, as is the EIN and the association with a publicly traded company. The Seattle address located at 808 Howell is for the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Seattle which is still being built. Clearly, you can't trust this company. I will NEVER order from this site ever again.

Shame on me for not checking reviews before ordering from this fraud of a company. DO NOT BUY FROM this Company. I think BBB should warn anyone that this company is a fraud.

    You can't submit a new, fresh ticket on the website. If you mail, they ask you to submit a ticket. If you want to submit a ticket, it has to be added to your previous ordered order nos. only. The website automatically gives you option of the subject you want to raise your ticket under and you can't give any other subject apart from them. When I was trying to order a product today, under payment method, I clicked PayPal by mistake but I wanted to pay through Visa debit card. Now no matter what I do and close and open the website several times, it shows me payment method as PayPal only and I can't change it. I can't pay through PayPal as I don't have an account in it. If I raise more than 1 ticket, customer service team automatically closes 1 ticket without resolving it. :(

    So I feel products are wonderful on this website but service is pathetic. They took 14 days last time to deliver my product. Previously I didn't know it's a Chinese website but when I came to know, I couldn't trust on this website. But thank to god, when I cancelled my product, my more than 7000 rs got returned to my account.

    That company sold a SeaGate 3TB computer hard drive for US$111.16 inclusive of freight and insurance. That item supposed to be a new, but to my astonishment it is a rebuilt device and not delivered in its original protective box. Normally a computer hard disk is a very sensitive device. With a slight vibration or a knock its internal mechanical parts can instantly damage.

    I wonder how those who export some porcelain products know how to carefully pack their merchandise with lot of protective materials, but an expensive computer hard disk is sold like a cheap pack of chocolate. But it is a shame that there are some professional sellers who know how to earn easy money from your pocket. When asking for refund, they request many unrealistic conditions for the item to be shipped back to them, without mentioning that postage is very expensive in our country. And now though I have lost money in purchasing a defective item, I am very happy that I have learned a precious lesson and I can advise all my friends to be very careful to avoid purchasing in such a condition.

    I can't begin to describe the poor customer service you get from this outfit. I placed an order Nov.25.2017. I thought I had ordered early enough with their expedited shipping time of 4-8 days that I paid extra for to receive items in time for the holiday. Such was not the case. As of Jan. 11,2018, I have still not received my order. I submitted tickets addressing the shipping charge and said I probably wouldn't get my money back even tho they admitted they erred on shipping type. They sent it standard post. Apparently, after researching this company they do this all the time. Rip off people for shipping cost. To the complaint I filed about this I was given $8.77 USD in rewards (not the whole $9.61 shipping cost I paid) to spend. They have stipulations on how rewards are used. You have to spend double the amount that you have. Which means I have to spend $17.54 USD to get my rewards. Another way they rip you off.

    I then complained about the package not being received to which I was told if it's not here by Jan. 7, 2018 they would look into it. That date arrives but the package did not. I then submit another ticket advising them of this to which they give me a tracking number and advise me to go to my post office to look for this package. Now I have to spend gas, time and money to do their job? I replied that wasn't going to happen. This I found is another standard business practice they use to discourage people from getting a refund. I'm then told to wait until Jan.29,2018 for my package to arrive. I check tracking on it everyday just to find it supposedly order departed on flight from origin Dec. 24, 2017.

    Today I look and today I see they are preparing to dispatch this mail piece, whatever that is supposed to mean. They absolutely will not consider refunding my money even though I have asked several times even to the point of demanding yet get brushed off.

But in both cases, the goods simply never arrived. They have also clearly spent a lot of money in making their online customer service look efficient, and encouraging you to file support tickets when the goods don't come, and giving you options to complain to a supervisor etc. But it's all just a complete facade. When you complain, you get a whole series of emails apologising profusely and assuring you that they are a very professional company blah blah - and saying, "Oh it will be there soon, 30 days, 60 days..."

    I regularly order stuff from China, it does NOT take 60 days for a parcel to arrive from China. The first time they pulled this stunt on me I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But after the second order, and getting pretty much the same series of emails etc etc - I'm kicking myself for being so naive. I don't think they have any intention of ever dispatching anything, it's just a pure scam.

But in each case they simply change the expected delivery date, pushing it back and further back.

    Now (after almost 6 weeks) they are telling me to wait a further 3 weeks. If it should turn up in 3 weeks (which I very much doubt) it will be 2 months late. This is unacceptable as I had bought it as a Christmas gift and Christmas is well and truly over now. I have made repeated requests for a refund but all I get is the standard responses telling me to wait longer for the item. I don't believe they were ever capable of delivering the item within 7 days and they don't appear to make any effort to resolve the situation. LightInTheBox customer service is appalling.

    Have been trying to order something there for last 2 months with very mixed experience. For some reason they are canceling my every second order without comments. I believe they cancel orders which have very cheap prices because their prices are fake. What they have shipped was not cheaper than any other Chinese shop and in fact nothing very special. Seems to be very unfriendly and time-consuming scam.

    Today is the 12th day after the payment of the order ** (Xiaomi Mi Mix 2). On the product page, you gave me an answer yesterday that the order is formed 1-2 days. Also in the correspondence, 6 days ago I was promised that the time of sending the order is no more than 6 days. I created a request for a refund. You closed it, because you saw that another ticket was open. I was offered a refund 3 euros (order was 500 euros) and that will send an order today. Order status has not changed. The response time for messages is usually not less than 2 days. All complaints on Facebook are erased. There is no money, no goods! This is the worst service in my life!!!

    Do not order from new websites. Stick to the common ones. From day one I had nothing but problems with this company. I paid $28.37 for expedite delivery 2-3 days (LIE), I placed this order on October 31, 2017, so why I wasn't refund my delivery fee back since I didn't receive this order until November 23 or 24, 2017. My credit card was hacked and someone spent $1386 on a shopping spree and on top of that both pair of the shoes I ordered the left shoe of each heel broke after two wears. The company isn't trying to refund me my money back. This is the last response from them:

    “We regret to inform you that we only accept returns or replacements within 14 days after delivery of the order. Monday, November 13, 2017 Delivered - Signed for by: PEEWEE ** DELRAY BEACH 13:19. It has been >35 days since you received the package. We apologize for not being able to accept your return request. As you're our valued customer and we strive for your satisfaction, we would like to offer you a USD25 REWARDS as compensation.”

    This order wasn't delivered until November 23 or 24, 2017 and I did not wear the shoes until December 3, 2017 both pairs at different times. I contacted them the very next day and they were giving me the runaround to drag this out so they wouldn't have to refund me my $60 back, so for them not to even try to do the right thing and present excellent customer service, shows me that this is a company I will never order from again. They tried to say at first it was the carrier fault but once I showed them pictures now I had the shoes more than 14 days… SCAM!!!

    I ordered a dress from here for my wedding. I realized right away that I had probably ordered a size too small, cancelled the existing order within 12 hours and reordered a larger size. I then got an email (3 days later) saying that you had to cancel within 24 hours or pay 1/2 the cost of the order (per the online agreement). I referred them to the original cancel request, which had been sent within 12 hours. I then went and did a screenshot of the cancel request because I was suspicious, given the other really poor reviews.

    We went back and forth for a couple of days - them saying I didn't cancel and me saying I disputed the charges with my credit card company. The last time I went to look, they had indeed COMPLETELY ERASED the online correspondence where I had asked them to cancel. I then sent them the screenshot and they were more than happy to refund my money. What a total scam. DO NOT BELIEVE it when they say 100% customer satisfaction.

    Unacceptable, unfair and unethical practice throughout. Out of stock items. Advice after order was already placed and card charged. Items received were nothing like on the picture or description on the website. Poor fabric and finishes, some not cotton or of seasonal relevance as advertised. Return: at your own expense, followed their instructions to the dot, paying $150 SGD of the large order I have placed, returning nearly every item back, all with tags, in original packaging and within the time frame" - received by the company claiming "three items are missing" without any more explanation, no name of the item, no itemized charges. Not answering in a professional and formal manner, even after the complaint. Never received a statement in any form, pdf or in email complete with itemization of received items and allegedly missing items.

    I have provided shipment receipt as requested for them to verify "the weight of the parcel" instead. Initially advised return amount not honored, worded "as agreed by you," a lie as I did not agree to the deductions which they failed to acknowledge before I raised questions. It puts me in a disadvantaged position, treating my every effort to comply in an unfair way. Uncharacteristically I was asked to verify my identity due to their highlighted "risk of fraud" after I placed my order. I was requested to provide proof of ID and address, which I did without a problem acknowledging the enhanced measures. Very disappointed and would never recommend buying from this company to anyone.

    The ordeal started after not receiving the package within the 14 days shipping I had paid for (they apparently never honor this so don’t waste your money). After logging a ticket, they replied by stating it would take up to 38-40 days for the package to arrive not the 14 days selected at check out. Additional communication with customer service would just net a canned response without answering any of my questions.

    After the 40+ days elapsed and the package not yet received they said they’d provide a refund based on the fact that the delivery company stated the package was not delivered, but, this would only be done after the package was received at their end. Fast forward another 2 months, refund has not occurred yet so I had to submit yet another ticket.

    This time they stated that it had been too long since the item was shipped for them to provide a refund unless I could provide proof. They didn’t even refer to their previous communication stating they would process a refund. I then went ahead and provided the proof and again they stated the refund would be approved once the package was received at their end. I’ve now decided to open this ticket as others need to be aware of these issues.

    I placed a large order at the end of September. The order was split into two shipments because most items were not in stock. The first shipment went out very quickly and I received it within the expedited shipping timeframe. The second order shipped a week or so later with a projected 2-4 days in transit to me. I checked the tracking number and it always said no information available. I opened a ticket a week and a half after the ship date to inquire as to where my package was and tell them that the tracking number said no information. After 2 days they responded. They basically said, "Oh sorry, we accidentally shipped postal service so it'll take a month or so". I replied that I was very unhappy and demanded a refund for the additional shipping cost. They provide this but gave it in the form of CREDITS ON THEIR WEBSITE. I was told to message them on Nov 1 if my package didn't arrive. Well, its 11/4 now.

    I opened another ticket on Nov 1 and said the package was still MIA and said I wanted a refund. They asked me to wait another couple of days because their courier is very busy. If it didn't arrive by then, I would be given a refund via credit on their website. Pfffttt. I told them that I would be disputing the charge for the ENTIRE order with my credit card if the package didn't show up or if they didn't send a new order within a week, with expedited shipping.

I chose the Postal Expedited shipping method which states it will take 4-8 business days and I received a confirmation that it will be shipped by Sept 27th. However, I did not receive the package on time and to make matters worse, when I submitted a ticket as instructed online, it sends you an automated answer from supposedly "customer service" which now states my package will take up to 28 days and it will be delivered by Oct 13th.

    Tracking system they provide also does NOT tell you where in the states or even in the country your package is but it only shows "it's in transition" who knows where. I submitted another ticket to file a complaint that I demanded a refund since it will not do me any good. I receive the product late and they falsely indicated the shipping process. Then, I finally received the package on October 12th but since I no longer needed the product, I didn't open it and went online again to submit a ticket to return the package.

    Instructions online says it's simple to return but this sounds too good to be true. It's not just printing the UPS return package slip like other legitimate companies. Of course, customer service states you need to wait for "RMA" code which I have never heard of and I had to submit another ticket because again, they did not send the RMA code for me to return the package the next day.

    Here I am filing complaint after complaint to receive my refund. I filed a complaint to BBB and this company is a complete scam to get money from the consumers and causing the whole return process to be extremely inconvenient and they delay the process to make sure you do not get your refund. There is no phone number and submitting a ticket to so-called "customer service" is not what you think and even though your issue doesn't get resolved, they close the ticket as "resolved."

    I will do whatever in my power to make sure that everyone gets a message not to order from this company and continue to file complaints to make sure this company doesn't continue to scam people online. I will also file a complaint to FTC to look into this company who operates in China which makes it more complicated for any consumers ordering in the US to feel more frustrated.

    Like me you probably are searching for this company after your product did not arrive in the 2-3 days promised. This is because, according the courier they use, 2-3 business days is impossible for most shipments. There is ASSUREDLY NOT an unusual delay at the border as they told me. They just promise unrealistic times hoping you will order not realizing the trap that has caught you.

    The very best thing you can do at this point is refuse delivery of your product and start a chargeback with your credit card company. Here is why. If the company is this dishonest about just their shipping times, imagine the quality of their products (or read the other horror stories). If you accept the item then the cost to return any defective products will likely be yours. How much do you think it will cost to return the item(s) to China? That is the trap!

    Refuse the item for being late and start a chargeback. Make copies of all your communications, receipts, etc. Call the shipping company and records the conversation regarding delivery. Call the local shipper (UPS, FED EX, or DHL) and tell them not to deliver without your express authorization in writing and record the call. The courier for LightInTheBox can tell you who will deliver. Complain vigorously to your credit card company for accepting such nefarious persons as customers. Maybe, just maybe you can get back your money and learn, as I did, to research online companies better for ordering anything.

    As an Irish person, I have to Post this complaint online. I bought 2 security cameras (dummy cameras) online from LightInTheBox. I paid extra insurance in case the item got lost. The parcel came to An Post and then went to customs. Customs contacted me and said that the items will be released back to An Post. An Post, the Irish postal service lost them (you have to doubt the caliber of An Post staff). They advised me to contact light in the box about a refund. I have, and I am still sending them emails by their ticket system. They are fobbing me off. My only advice is DO NOT PURCHASE ANY ITEM FROM LIGHT IN THE BOX. You will regret it. Even though An Post lost the item, Light in the box are still responsible.

    I purchased a Blackview BV7000 Pro 5.0 inch 4G Smartphone. The phone is exceptionally reviewed. Issue is not one with the item, the ad says 4-5 days shipping and processing and that the items was in stock so I paid with my CC. I learned that what they call gold was called champagne and rose by other sellers so within 4 hours I changed saying they could send silver or grey. Well it took 48 hours for a reply to my ticket then I was told they changed the order and it would ship in 2-3 days, then the wait began.

    Despite being listed in stock, it took 22 days to actually ship the item. Well after 15 days, I clicked cancel order and purchased another phone. They ignored me then closed the cancel order ticket saying it was being taken care of on another ticket despite me open ticket after ticket I was ignored until I got a email saying it had shipped. I could see through it early, they are just scummy and dishonest and you will feel it when communicating with them. Avoid them. Go to Aliexpress or anywhere, really, eBay etc. Oh they promised me a $24 discount on future purchases, never happened!

    It took 3 months for the tattoo gun to arrive in New Zealand, from China. Looked like they just threw it in the post bag with no Instructions! I had no idea what to do with it. It doesn't come with a plug either. So after weeks of emails, I finally returned the stupid thing. I paid $66 NZ and they only refunded me $44 US. How rude is that? The Ink cups never turned up so I wasn't refunded for them. And when I asked for a refund for the postage I had to pay to send it back to China, they told me I would only get 50% refunded on the postage. That 50% of the US dollar which is a lot higher than the NZ dollar. This put me off buying online and as we all say, I wish I came here and read the reviews before I wasted my time and money on LightInTheBox.com. Never Again!

    I ordered 3 no. SWIFT Outdoor inflatable loungers. Order No.: #** on Monday 10 July 2017 from LightInTheBox.com. I'd never used the company before, and I checked out the customer reviews (as I always do) - which seemed to show the supplier was OK. LightInTheBox.com specifically promised a delivery within 3-4 days. I needed the items for the following weekend, so this seemed to be just what I wanted. When the items didn't arrive on time, I went back to the company's website to find out why, only to discover a message that told me it wasn't possible to track the order, and I should refer back to where I had ordered it - which led nowhere! I started to wonder what was going on.

    The delivery eventually arrived on 19 July - too late for the event I wanted to use them for, and when I opened the package, I discovered there were only two loungers, not three. I'd been done up like a kipper. £48.62 for 2 loungers, 5 days late! I sent an e-mail to the company on 23 July, asking for a refund of the delivery charges - which given their unsatisfactory performance, I thought was the least they could do.

They required an explanation in the cancellation ticket, so I mentioned that I was replacing the first faucets with the ones we really wanted. The next day I received an email saying that the order could not be canceled, because it had already been shipped. I had a hard time believing that they had shipped within 8 minutes. In fact, later in the day I received a notice that the item had shipped. The "can't be canceled" message actually arrived 10 hours and 5 minutes prior to the "item has been shipped" message.

    It took several days to receive all 4 faucets, and I wanted to inspect the second set. When I went back to see the status of my ticket, the ticket had been closed. So, I opened a new ticket, (or so I thought) explaining the situation, and demanding a return and refund. Two days later I went to check on this new ticket, and it was actually never created. I can see only my original ticket, with a closed status. Their refusal to cancel this order has cost me $155.34 USD total. This phony reason for cancellation (who ships within 8 minutes?) and then lying to me about it is totally unacceptable and unprofessional. And now they won't even create the ticket I submitted.

I order brushes for myself that came in an Hello Kitty can which the brushes itself seem fit for a 2-year-old. Complete waste of money!

    I ordered a set of sheets that were advertised as "100% Cotton". When received they were clearly a "Polyester/Cotton" blend. It said so right on the tag which was sewn into the sheets! When I contacted them they fed me some sort of bull about, "Will have to check on their quality control." and then they marked the ticket as "RESOLVED" despite the fact that I didn't even respond to them. I'm expected to pay for shipping to send them back and then they will "decide after inspecting the item" as to whether or not I should get my money back... right! THIS COMPANY IS A TOTAL FRAUD. After reading these reviews it seems like they are misrepresenting ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS. There is one positive review here on ConsumerAffairs and I guarantee it was written by one of their staff members. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY.

    I ordered a dress that costed about $80.00 then I want it to ship out expedited that costed about $20.00. The dress was expected to arrive in about 2-3 days. I ordered it on Apr. 28th and on the same day the LightInTheBox took my money in all about $100.00. The dress didn't come for a week. I contacted them by email (the only way) and I wanted to cancel the order since I needed the dress for an event which would be in starting in a day. The responder, Yvette, kept on telling me that I couldn't cancel the order and if she cancel it now, the company would charged me 50% of my money which was about $50. I told her that it was the LightInTheBox which broke the promised NOT me. So how come she would charged 50%. Yvette wrote back and told me that it was my mistake, NOT the LightInTheBox mistake. And she would help me to complete my order and send out on May 16th and expected for another 2-3 days delivery.

    It seemed to me that since the LightInTheBox which is based in China, it doesn't care about the customers whom are abroad. The only thing it does is to take money from the customers and who cares about the products. This is just ridiculous and I don't know why the Consumer Affairs or the BBB still haven't done anything to block this scam business from operating in the US.

    I waited a few weeks, no package, opened another ticket, got the automated email again, wrote back another type of machine generated email arrived. Wrote back a few times, no human interaction just useless automated messages. Tried to find another way of contacting the company, none exists, wrote a bad review on their website, still no attention.

    I first purchased a Jr bridesmaids dress and a pair of shoes for my daughter for a family member's wedding. My initial order actually arrived pretty quickly. No complaints there BUT they sent the wrong shoes. Not the wrong size but a completely different shoe than I ordered. The dress was a tad too big, which was not their fault but I immediately contacted them and wanted to return the dress and shoes and get the dress one size smaller. They told me that the dress was "made-to-order" and could not be returned. There was nothing "made-to-order" about this dress. It was a standard size in a standard color that shipped within 36 hours of me placing the order. The dress had never been worn, altered, and tags were still on. In fact, I contacted them the very day that I received the dress. After throwing a fit and threatening to do a chargeback on my credit card if they would not accept the return, they finally agreed to take it back.

    I did not want to have to wait for the first dress to be returned before the second one was shipped so I went ahead and placed a second order for a second dress. The handling plus shipping time combined should have been 14-22 business days. It is now at 28 business days and still no dress. At this point, the wedding is in 3 days so even if it gets here in the next 3 days, there will not be enough time to have it shortened (it was a floor length dress that will need to be hemmed). When I contacted them and told them that I would need to return this one dress as well because I no longer have any use for it, they suggested that I just keep it because the shipping cost would be too much to return it. Terrible customer service. Do NOT buy from this company.

    I ordered 2 ball gowns on 1/28/2017 for an event on 2/17/17. I paid $34 for 2-3 day expedited shipping. I kept sending "tickets" with no response from the company. I finally received a response when I threatened to file a complaint in March. I wanted a refund because the event had passed. They shipped one dress, I received mid March. I contacted them again about the second dress demanding a refund. They have an excuse for everything. I was persistent and sent them a copy of my filed complaint with the attorney general. Miraculously, a refund appeared in my Light in the box account. They never notified me. I needed to find it. Then you must request it be put back in your bank account/card another long process.

    I sent them another ticket requesting my expedited shipping fee returned to me since it took almost 2 months for the first dress to arrive and the other one never arrived 3 months later. I then got a response I must have misunderstood 2-3 day expedited shipping and they are not at fault for anything. They are keeping my $34 expedited shipping fee. This is absolutely the worst company to business with. Their customer service is the worst I have ever seen and not consumer friendly. They border on stealing with their 2-3 expedited shipping. If it's not possible don't offer it. I will never shop here again ever. It cost me even more money because I needed to buy a dress for the event when this order never arrived.

    This is my first time ordering from LightInThe Box website, and it will for sure be my last.

Firstly, I paid extra money for express shipping in order to receive my item in 2-3 days from the shipping date. I did not receive my item until 7 days after the date it shipped, which was days after the event I purchased them for. When I finally received the item (shoes), I find that their US shoe sizes they advertise on their site are not correct, they are in fact SMALLER... and now, I'm stuck with "customized" shoes that do not fit and they will not allow me to return them.

    Wow where to start. Ordered a Xiaomi m2 wristband. 12th March 2017. Included extra for DAD shipping. Shipped in a couple of days or I should say marked as ship. No cancellation allowed after shipping. By end of March raised as goods not received. Ticket got back in progress message, but suddenly new tracking number appeared with I suspect new Xiaomi m2 sent. It got to the UK 4 April, and then a demand for extra £15 from the carrier for UK duties. This despite goods under £135 being import duty exempt!! So short story is despite it not being clearly stated the goods are coming from China. Don't use PayPal. It transpires that there is no cover from them for goods not bought from eBay. Also PayPal very difficult to deal with. Will be using visa in future where this a guarantee. Do not use this supplier unless you are prepared to lose the money. Very poor supplier not recommend.

After a few days they said a few more days and a few more.

They said, "we are waiting and will process soon." On 3/25, they said they are waiting from their supplier to see if they will get item or not and don’t know when they will have the item to ship.

    I requested to cancel the order so I can buy from another place. On the same day, they cancel my order and said I will get a full refund on my cc 1-2 days. It has been about a week and nothing. Now I can't even go to page/order to contact them. They remove any way to ask about the refund. I had to contact my cc for this.

The website said it would be 5-8 business days which would have meant I would receive no later than February 3rd. To make a long story short, they "said" they shipped the dress around February 24th but it was shipped back because delivery would not ship to a post office box. The website did not indicate this when I ordered it. They sent me an email and text that didn't give me any info only to click on a link which every time I did the links did not work. I searched over and over for a contact phone number in which I could not find and I could never log into a "message" I needed to read in my account. Finally, once I did it was already 4 days before my daughter's competition.

    Once I found out what happened I sent them an email telling them I want a refund since it was now pointless. I never received a refund, today is March 11th and I just received an email today stating the order once again is being shipped and to click on a link to view shipping status. When I click on the link yet again I get a message telling me the link longer exists. It also said it would be delivered by March 8th and to contact them if not. This is the worst place I have ever ordered online. Can't contact them and they take your money and refuse to refund and ignore the request to cancel.

Two months went by before I got two of the three products that I bought. The other one is still processing to this date! To be honest, the quality is better than expected, and the products looks the same as in the picture. I knew that their sizes run small, so I order 4XL and they were still a bit small, but not too small. Their customer service does not do anything except making promises and apologizing for the "inconveniences".

    I know some of you will read this review and still want to order from them; therefore, I will give you these advice: If you have an event and you decide to buy from them, order from them at least 3 months before your event. Get ready to wait a looong time for your order. If you order clothes, make sure to add at least 3 sizes to what your actual size is. I wear Large, I ordered 4 XL.

    I ordered a mother of the bride dress using the measurements provided by this company. When the dress arrived not only was it too large but the color was incorrect. In addition, It took almost 3 weeks and several emails to find out where the dress was and when it would arrive. As to no hassle returns as their website touts, that did not happen. They first suggested I have the dress altered and they would give me 20 percent off the price. When I told them the color was wrong too, they told me computers are different and could be the reason for the different color. They wanted me to take photos of the dress in natural light and send it to them. I refused and requested my no hassle refund.

    After a week and multiple emails to the company they gave me 3 choices: 50 percent refund, and return the dress at my expense, 2nd 71 percent exchange for future purchase and return the dress at my expense and third points on their site for future purchases and return the dress at my expense. I learned a very hard lesson here: NEVER deal with foreign companies because what they say and what they deliver may be two different things.

    Ordered a pair of light-up shoes for my daughter for her birthday in early February. Site says 10-20 business days. Shoes never arrived, so I emailed them. "Oops," says they. "The shoes were returned to us by Customs." REALLY?? I call SHENANIGANS on that excuse! Wonder if they were going to tell me, or just leave me hanging out there waiting for shoes that weren't ever going to arrive? At least they offered a refund. It's too late to get them in time for her birthday now.

    Thanks for your vote!
