    This less than honest does NOT provide and phone # allowing you to contact them. Some joker has posted online that he can provide a contact number if you send him $25.00. I ordered sandals and waited for over two months before receiving a package from Lightin which contained shoes that I had not ordered. I sent an email and also was able to find another email to use when there existed a problem. I never received a response from anyone. It has now been three months, I sent the information requested which included information on the sandals I had originally ordered. Still waiting for an answer. Told them to refund my purchase and I would return the crap shoes that had sent in error. DO NOT trust a thing they say and if you are determined to purchase something use paypal or a credit card. Paypal and credit card companies will protect your money. Wishing you good luck if you do order.

    I purchased miscellaneous clothing items and a keyboard to the total value of €188.92 incl. shipping. When the items arrived, the order was split up and I had to pay additional delivery charges of €30 besides the VAT due to the company sending two separate shipments instead of one. Upon arrival the items 4 of the items were faulty to the tune of +-€120 incl VAT and excl the extra courier fees! Having to return these items at an additional cost of €70 tomorrow. This is a total of €130 (€60+€70) that I'm having to just throw away to the swines. And LightInTheBox.com has the audacity to ask me to send the items in their original two boxes!!! The Cheek of them!!! It’s more like ScamInTheBox. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!

    This company are a ** joke. Ordered 2 items on 6th September/despatched on the 7th according to the site order, after various emails back and forth (they always come with the same crap) delivery was 9-12 days that suddenly changed to 10-12 days. So after 24 plus days still no items. Then and only then did they offer a refund (even that was too much for them, had to wait for them to contact their admin office to start a refund - crap). Now after several more emails I have now been informed I will receive my items on the 1/11/2017... unreal. All that time from China. LMAO.

    I've recently placed orders on eBay from China. Arrived within a week or two, oh and incidentally on my order sheet from their website my order date has also changed from 6th September to the 27th September... how these morons are still in business is amazing. Also the tracking system... well what tracking system... it never works, my goods are still in China and have been since order date (original order date).

    I purchased three pairs of shoes from the company. After trying on the shoes, I decided to return them all. The website was extremely confusing and sent me in circles over and over around the return. There was no number to call and speak to a person, and the customer service site was extremely confusing and unhelpful. This felt as if it was intentional to prevent people from being able to make returns. I absolutely would not suggest purchasing anything from this company. Had I known about their poor customer service I would not have purchased from them myself.

    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 made a purchase only after watching reviews on YouTube. Apparently, they perform great services to YouTubers to get good press, so they could further scam. I placed my order August 4th... one month and 3 days later, no word. I actually emailed them and they told me to contact them if I haven't received my package by September 17th... really?! I had a tracking number until August 10th and since then... NOTHING! China is a 13-20 hr flight, so I don't understand the 1 1/2 month wait. Anyway, I hope I get my package. That would be $400 I've wasted. I will never order from them again based on the processing/delivery time alone. Who knows what the product is going to look like when I get it. I wish I would've found this forum prior to placing my order.

    After one month trying to contact the customer services using Facebook (as our orders don't appear on the historic list of the site which forbids us also to get the invoices from our orders), we are sad to realize that there is no after sales service available to contact in any way, and that the local correspondents on Facebook just don't care about it. This is getting much too difficult to deal with a company which even doesn't give you a way to contact its customer services if a problem occurs on your delivered items. We will so in the future contact other suppliers to get this type of items.

Just do not use this one for online shopping, they are just gonna get your money for sure. And one thing, they do not have any customer phone number you can call to, that alone is already suspicious.

    Company advertised 11-14 days shipping. 20+ days later, told me it could take up to 40 days because of the weather or customs. 40+ days elapsed with no delivery, so they simply updated estimated time to an outrageous estimate of 60 days. After asking for a refund, they simply stopped corresponding with me. This company is a ripoff and misrepresents their delivery time. I can't comment on the product because it didn't arrive. No refund and no product. They entice you with low prices, take your money and then make excuses. Stay away from LightInTheBox.com. P.S.

    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. It's now 07 August, and I'm still waiting for a reply. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. THEY'RE A BUNCH OF CON ARTISTS.

Now they began to ask for the tracking number, paperwork to prove and so on. You know what? They will never pay you back. That is the bottom line. Second item, I never receive them. No refund at all. Question was, why we have to deal with company like this? You buy you fool.

    I receive messages from customs that they have packages and need to charge me. I tell them to contact authorities and refuse any import from LightInTheBox. It has been 2 months since I placed the order and LightInTheBox still sends messages (every other day) saying "your package is on its way" and packages and they kept charging my credit card (~700$). They are a complete scam, I never received any money back, and no 100$ either.

    I placed an order for two bathroom faucets, and, still perusing the site, realized I wanted the faucets with the matching sink closures. I canceled the order and later confirmed, using their data logger, that I did this within 8 minutes of placing the order. 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. These guys are crooks and liars. Don't buy anything from them unless you want to get cheated.

    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 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 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.

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.

But joke's on them because the one we ordered was a simple $30 camera and they ended up sending us a MUCH nicer DVR camera home security system (approx. $130)! The only problem is that it requires setup and cords.

You only have 24 hours to cancel an order and even if you never get it? They will not give you a full refund. They won't make the item until you've paid for it. It takes 20 days to get said item but you can only refund it 24 hours after you paid for it. This is a scam! A total ripoff! Run away fast!!! Look at all the other bad reviews if you don't believe me!

    I ordered an ice skating dress on Jan 25th for my daughter's competition on March 5th. Figured this gave me plenty of time to receive and decide if the dress I ordered will work. 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. I will go back to ordering from the legit company I've ordered from in the past and the skate shop I ended up getting my daughter's competition dress for her competition that is now over. The dress was $80 and I want my money back!

    I ordered my product in January 18. I knew the shipping will be slow because the products come from China. I waited, and waited, and waited. 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. The quality is not "Good", it is "OK".

    I purchased a dress in December last year. It arrived very quickly which was great but the sizing was wrong. I contacted LightInTheBox (via email) and they said if I returned it they would refund my money. I did just that, I went to the post office and sent it back to them via tracked airmail and I have kept all receipts of this. When I got notification that my parcel had arrived at their warehouse, I waited a few days for them to contact me which they didn't so I contacted them. They informed me they had not received my parcel and would not be refunding me anything. I provided them with the receipts stating they had in fact received them and now they keep sending me the same emails saying they never received my email and can I send it again. This has been going on since the 7th of January. The dress cost me AU$200 + the cost of sending it back. This has been my worst online experience ever. Extremely unhappy.

    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. I did call my credit card company who is going to contact the company and try to have my money refunded. MY ADVICE DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM LIGHTINTHEBOX!!!

    I never write reviews due to lack of time which is why I ordered via internet. I ordered from this site knowing nothing about it... big mistake. I ordered 2 coats over two months ago. Just got tracking info currently shipping out of China. It will be summer by the time the coats arrive here. A couple of weeks after I ordered I received call from American Express fraud protection that charges had been attempted with my AmEx number in Japan. I had used my American Express for this purchase. This was the only unusual place I had used this card. I'm definitely linking the two together. I will update when/if I ever receive the coats. I will not use the site again as it takes too long for items to arrive, greater than 2 months is extreme. I don't have confidence in the site/company secondary to the issue with my credit card account.

    I ordered a painting via this website. After around 3 weeks of waiting I eventually received a letter from HMRC stating I'd need to pay a chunk of change in import duty!! The duty was over half of the price of the painting and when I quizzed LightInTheBox they simply said this can happen and that I *should* have taken out additional insurance. That was the first time I'd even heard of potential import issues! They then claimed they would refund half of the duty money - and even when I reluctantly agreed, they just didn't do it. I chased several times awaiting a PayPal refund, greeted with complete silence. This is a very dodgy company behind a glossy veneer and fancy website.

They promised me it would ship by a certain date (well after we needed it), so I cancelled the order. They didn't charge me and we bought another dress elsewhere. I swore to myself I wouldn't use them again.

    I have used LightInTheBox on many occasions and found their product selection to be very good. However, I would not advise to use them if you are looking for exceptional quality or quick delivery, as a lot of products (especially clothing) are not very durable and some items are often out of stock, which you may not be told at the time of purchase. Also, many sites have a policy of not charging your credit card until the order is fulfilled. LITB is not one of them and resolving unfulfilled orders could be difficult, as they do not have a phone number to call, only an online support ticket service, which is not always responsive.

    I purchased 2 red LED light bulbs to use in a the display part of a flame effect fire. The price wasn't my initial concern just the fact they were LED therefore low power and hopefully safe. It took weeks for anything to arrive despite constant emails I was sent advising of dispatch and pushing more offers. Only one arrived finally... In a flimsy plastic bag & the crushed box was empty. The bulb was floating free in the packet. It had the cheapest opaque plastic bulb 'case' which was totally detached from the metal fitting and its wires were all exposed and detached in places from the circuit board inside. The other bulb never materialised. I filled in the appropriate form, submitting photo as required and waited.

    After a first French language response I was finally emailed and promised a refund & was given an assurance they'd investigate the shoddy dangerous quality of the bulb(s) with their supplier. I was told the refund would be in my PayPal account in 3-5 working days but over a week later I still had to chase them. They instantly close all routes of access to Customer Service once They feel They have resolved your complaint, so I had to email their corporate address in order to get an answer. They've just emailed to say I need to 'claim' this refund by clicking on another page and request it's repaid into my PayPal acc etc. Not originally explained in the offer for a refund. I noticed my original payment for 2.94 was being refunded by a payment of 1.94 (admittedly it's a small sum but it's the principle!).

    I have never had to work so hard to get any satisfaction when purchasing things online.

You could lose more than a few dollars/pounds. I'm horrified.

    It looks like a great site to shop at but I should have known better. They did a good job of trying to look like they were North American but I as a frequent shopper should have known better than to shop with them. Once you see a site with the timer sale countdown in the top corner. They are Asian most ties and play so many games. Getting your merchandise is almost near impossible. They had an item I wanted so I took a chance and made a tiny purchase. Big Mistake.

    I knew once I got this link. http://www.17track.net/en/track that it was a bad sign. That is a link to Asian tracking. You watch your order flop around from Asian city to Asian city and then it stops! They do not do anything past that. Then they tell you to go look for your order. That's the thanks you get shopping with sites that use that Asian tracking garbage. It's a scam to give you hope and make you think your items are coming. They are Not! You have to fight them to get it and if you have a job that is very time consuming.

    I repeat Do Not shop at LightInTheBox! They use American models but they are an Asian site. The fact that they don't want that to be known shows the deception right there. They give the usual warehouse excuses and postal excuses. This is why no one wants to shop Asian and they know that so they try to hide that your items are coming from Asia until you buy.

I finally received their return address directly through PayPal (it was the same address on package), but I have to pay for return shipping. I haven't shipped it yet but now I'm going to have to pay $5-10 to return the item that they shipped late and damaged. Then they get to decide if it is in the same condition before they refund. I don't trust them one bit! Can't wait to see how this pans out! Either way I have wasted a serious amount of time and I am still going to have to pay for their mistake. Not fair!

    LightintheBox is a scam! First of all, the marketing of this site is very attractive, with the low prices and trendy items but once they get your money the quality is cheap, poor or usually incorrect and trashed. I ordered some jewelry and it took over a month for me to get it (after several emails back and forth regarding where is my purchase). Once the jewelry came one piece was broken, just a piece of junk. I dismissed it because the other items were in fair condition and I wasn't going to argue over a $3.00 item.

    However I ordered a pair of boots at a larger price quote and again after OVER a month they finally came and it was the wrong item completely!! I reached out to them and advised that I was issued sending them a photo of shoes or barcode, however I sent them the barcode information in an email and also offered to send the item back to them for proof, they were rude and uncooperative! I'm still trying to be made whole over a horrible mistake! PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY, I BEG YOU! If I could give them NO STARS I would! They are a cheap, fake online discount store.

    My fiance ordered a dress for me and we never received it. Lightinthebox did nothing to help us. The tracking information stated that the package was delivered on December 9th. Because I still haven't received it, I went to the USPS post office today and asked them about it. They told me that they do not have the package and that I should file a claim since I never received it. They said they could not find it in their warehouse and in case if it is lost the seller, which is Lightinthebox, has to file a claim to get a refund. I paid Lightinthebox money for a product and you guys failed to deliver it to me. Technically, I have the right to demand the refund back or at least you guys need to resend the item. I am ok with a proper refund. Lightinthebox cannot just take a customer's money and run away without delivering anything!

    Not only was I sent defective light bulbs that ALL went down after a few days but I had to pay custom fees which were not displayed during the purchase and their customer service was totally incompetent and made me wait over 30 days to send me a shipping back number while telling me I had gone over the 30 days return policy. Simply incredible on western online sales standard and regulations. The issue is that they show lots of good reviews online and "look good"... which makes it all the more dangerous. This site is a total scam, stick to your usual online reliable businesses.

    Recently ordered 3 light fittings that looked really good on the pictures. First of all I had to pay over £53 in Chinese import duties to have them delivered (I had not realised this would be the case). When they arrived they were cheap looking and tacky and I wanted to return them. Every parcel carrier I tried needed at least a telephone number of the place where the goods were going to be returned to - some also needed an email address. Light In The Box flatly refused to supply this information saying they did not have to. I am stuck with a parcel I cannot return, and, therefore, cannot get a refund. I would advise everybody to stay away from this company.

    I had ordered 2 Dragon Ball Z action figures from LightInTheBox.com on November 29th for my brother-in-law for Christmas only because their website advertised their shipping was 5-8 days. I was sent a confirmation email on November 30th, saying that my order had been processed and shipped. They sent me a tracking number that did not work. The only thing that was displayed was "Your order is processing." With some codes.

    By December 15th I had still not received my order according to the "5-8 days" shipping time so I sent the website's customer care an email stating that I had not received my package and that I would like to know at least where it was and if I would receive it by December 24th. Their customer representative who emailed me back proceeded to say "Due to high requests this month your package may be delayed. Please wait until January 7th to receive your package."

    I was also subscribed to receive promotional emails from this website and as of December 15th, they were still sending emails that said "Order now to receive your Christmas order by Christmas." So I was a little confused as to why my order would take until January 7th, if the website was still claiming to be able to send out orders by Christmas.

    I waited until December 23rd to again email the website so that I could at least find out where my package was. I even told them that the tracking did not work and did not display where it was because in the first email they had sent me they had claimed to be able to call and find out where your package was if it was late. The person who emailed me back said that since it was peak season all packages were going to be delayed, and that I should wait until January and if I do not need the packages anymore then I can send them back when they arrive and get a refund when the company received the packages again. Again they did not even bother to address the fact that the website was still advertising on time delivery when I had sent them an email.

    Finally on January 9th, I received my order that I had placed on November 29th. Considering that these two items are something you would collect, I thought maybe they would have at least put "Fragile" or handle with care or at least done a better job with the boxing. Both boxes arrived damaged and dented. Thrown into the box without a care; no papers or anything about what my order was. I would highly NOT recommend this website to anyone. Do not order from them. Their customer service them seems to just have a copy and paste passage that they use to tell all customers when they do not receive their orders. Awful service, lies, and false advertising.

Check out the (many) other reviews on ConsumerAffairs or the BBB. I sure wish I had. Do not rely on other reviews that I believe are fake. I have been cheated out of $529.34.

I paid extra for the fastest shipping.

    If you order this headlamp, be aware that you haven't finished buying what you need in order to use it. In addition to what you receive when you order it, it requires 2 "18650" batteries (rechargeable lithium ion batteries that look like extra-long "AA" batteries), AND, of course, you also need a charger for those batteries. Now here's the really stupid part - the headlight has a charging port but you don't know what size jack it requires, and even if you can figure it out, you will need to find some recharging unit that has the correct voltage output, and has the exact plug that will fit the stupid jack in the light!

    Additional Information. I did not receive my package on time. When I ordered my swimsuits, I picked 5-8 business shipping. I wrote them three times when I found out that it took them 5 days to even ship my package out and that I would receive my package a day late after I had left for my trip. Apparently, according to them, the 5-8 business days occurs after they send it out. But they held it for 5 days before they shipped it. Today is Dec 6th, and my birthday and trip is tomorrow. (12/7) I ordered the swimsuits before Thanksgiving and my friend whose going on the trip (one I referred to purchase from the website) ordered hers after me.

    When We saw that they waited until after Thanksgiving to ship my package and that it would arrive on the 8th, we were not pleased. I told her about it and we both wrote the company. Because her item wasn't shipped yet they expedited hers and she got hers Friday, (12/2) even though she placed her order after me. So the birthday girl (me) had to run around today short notice to try to find a swimsuit, which I did not find. I wasted $35! When I told them about my dissatisfaction (the 4th time), they replied by offering me a 15% coupon for my next purchase. I am very dissatisfied but happy that I alerted my friend of their delayed shipping policy, so she could get hers. But I have no swimsuit for my birthday. I will not be using their company again!

    I bought several GoPro accessories from these guys. Choice is big, prices are low (but you have to pay for delivery and customs taxes), quality is really good for the prices they offer. I paid about $20 USD for 42 -in-1 set of accessories! That's so cheap! Unfortunately, delivery took about 40 days. But if you are ready to wait, it's a nice place to shop.

    Immediately after placing order I noticed that the delivery date was going to be December 26 however before ordering I checked and paid for expedited Shipping which I was under the impression would be 3 to 4 days to order. I placed this order on December 1. As soon as I paid a shipping date came up that was just not going to work for me so I immediately contacted them within 10 minutes after placing the order and said if I could not receive order by December 15 I would need to cancel this order. I received a response pretty much stating that I would only be receiving 50% of a refund on a 141$ order and I should consider keeping the purchase and that I would be happy with the product.

    I then sent them another request to cancel and I received another reply stating that they could not give me a refund because they were already working on the item and all I will receive is 50% of the total. I resent another request to cancel this order. I cannot find a number to contact their customer service department. I guess I should have look for A PHONE NUMBER prior to placing an order with this company. So BEWARE of ordering from the LIGHTINTHEBOX!!! THEY HAVE NO CONTACT NUMBER. I will keep you up to date on trying to get a full refund from this company.

    I received these curtains quite quickly and was pleased with that. Sadly that's where being pleased stopped. I opened them, asked my friend to come over and help me put them up. I am not well at the moment so couldn't manage alone. I was shocked and disappointed to say the least when I noticed several holes the curtains and they were such poor quality. They have been stitched too tightly and are all pulled at the edges. I contacted customer services (I use this term very loosely) straight away and I supplied photos. They are not interested. They are aware that I needed the curtains and that I am unwell and don't need this stress and cannot get out to send them back which, let’s face it I should not have to do. To say the least I have to order some more, I will never go outside the UK again to purchase. Buyers beware. I am going to try and get my money back. Wish me luck.

    I've been a long term customer of this online store, and I must say they never let me down. Quality is always good, shipping fast, thorough packaging. Delivery takes about 30 days if it's economy shipping. We have rather high customs duty on import above 25 euros, but this site offers optional duty refund which is extremely convenient for me. In my last order I've purchased a custom made wedding dress and it was a huge bargain. I've received an awesome dress for a rather low price. I would have never found anything so beautiful for such a price in my local shops. It's a really nice and reliable store. I would advise everybody to give it a try.

    I ordered some stuffs (a cellphone, cosmetics, a sweatshirt, and 2 earphones). The cellphone and the earphones came very fast, but the cosmetics was delivered 2-3 months after and the sweatshirt was 6 months after. The products are really good, but the delivery is very slow for products that are not electronics. By the way, they went with a tax that cost 100% of the price that I did already pay. I didn't know that I could be reimbursed, so I've lost the proof of the tax. I didn't care so much about it because the cellphone was very cheap (I live in Brazil, it cost like 30% of the price that I would pay in Brazil). So, even with the delay and the tax, I still shopping and trusting in them.

    I ordered an item on the 30th October and the next day the tracking service stated it was on its way. This didn't change for days and then it was updated on their site on 5th November to say it was on its way. On the 16th I filed a complaint online to LightInTheBox. The response was apologetic and they stated they had contacted the supplier to tell them to send it priority, and stated that if the item was not delivered by 24th October then to contact them. At the same time LightInTheBox changed the status of the complaint to 'resolved'.

    I immediately wrote back to say that nothing was resolved. They then responded with a wait until 24th Oct statement. I kept checking the delivery/tracking status and wrote again to them and on the 22nd to ask what was happening the item was showing on the tracking to still be in China. They then stated that it can take up to 30 days (the initial delivery schedule was stated as 5-8 days). Also if I no longer needed the product then they would provide a refund. On the 23rd and 24th I requested them to cancel the order and make a refund, and again on the 24th. On the 25th I sent another message asking if I would ever hear from them again. To date 26th there has been no further response from them, nothing.

    I have ordered several times with them, because that is how many times they have made mistakes that has resulted in rewards and credits via their damn store. I had to use my money because getting a cash refund is a near impossible task! Here are few sample responses that anyone who has had to go through with them can relate to.

    "We're sincerely sorry that we replied you incorrectly. We've received your items returned: **. We will arrange the full refund (62.91 AUD) for you as soon as possible." "We know it is out fault for refund both **. We terribly sorry for the mistake." <-- Items were meant to be a replacement. I shipped it to the address given to me, but instead they refunded it so that I would have to again pay for shipping and reorder the items! TWICE!

    They are always polite with their responses but they have no clue what you have just written to them. I reordered my items plus other items, this time, they have a delay on the SAME coat! Now instead of sending me all the other 6 items first and then sending the coat out at a later date, they decided to hold hostage all of my items. When questioned, they told me to cancel the order! So basically, they will hold my items hostage unless I cancel the order for the last item. Seriously, this company will kill you with their politeness and reward systems if it could! Still fighting to stop them from giving me rewards and just give me my money back!

    Beware of LightInTheBox as they cheat and scam. On October 26th I ordered shoes from this company. Size I ordered was 42. Shoes that arrived were size 36, wrong colour from what I ordered, wrong material and rubbish quality. Also I had to pay high import tax. All could be 'forgiven' if at least the size was right. When I confronted this company that they had shipped the wrong size, they acknowledged they had shipped the wrong size and then plainly refused to do anything about it or take any responsibility. Refund was simply denied and my complaint marked "solved". In my opinion this website is purely cheating. Stay away from them as far as possible. Zero accountability and they will ship to you whatever rubbish product is in front of them at the time.

    I purchased tapware for Australian upon payment and delivery I noted the product was note certified for use in Australia. I contacted LightInTheBox who agreed to provide a full refund for my total order ($AUD1,450). Upon exploring return shipping options I contacted them to advise my only option was DHL which would cost $AUD1,000. They advised me to proceed and agreed to refund $AUD2,500 once received in China. My goods arrived in China, and DHL advised they were "stuck" in customs. They then updated me that they had made contact with LightInTheBox who asked for the shipment to be redirected to an address in Hong Kong. I contacted LightInTheBox immediately who replied that was okay, as they also had a warehouse in Hong Kong. I received written notification from DHL of delivery, including the address it was sent to and the name of the individual who signed for the package.

    Since that day, on 27th September, I have continually asked LightInTheBox to process my refund. The only reply I receive is that they are trying to locate my package, and that their logistics manager is looking into it. I don't believe they have any intention of acknowledging receipt of the returned goods, or providing a refund for either the returned products or the shipping costs incurred, despite their agreement to do so.

    This was my first time shopping at LightInTheBox.com. I was looking for a product from a local site to be assured of a quick delivery. The product I bought costs 48.99 Euros, plus about 14.78 Euros for shipping. I received it quickly (in 2 days) but was charged 27 Euros in taxes for the product. It was an opened box! It was a used article!

    I also had no idea it came from a foreign country - as there is no indication of this anywhere on the website, or upon checkout. I only found out from the delivery person charging me that in The Netherlands, ALL LightInTheBox products go through customs - and the recipients eventually taxed. LightInTheBox should be transparent about where the products are shipped from. I had the notion that it was just a regular local website. This is a misrepresentation of this business.
