Light In The Box Reviews

Poor Product & Customer Service Do NOT BUY
I ordered two made to measure evening dresses from this company on the back of all the great comments on the website. Both dresses arrived too late for the event and the postman asked for a cheque for another £70 for customs charges. The dresses were too tight even though i had provided exact measurements, one was very poorly made (puckered seams and cheap fabric) and the other had a broken zip and i got stuck in it and had to cut myself out. I put negative comments on the website and they were immediately removed, i repeated the comments again and again and they were instantly removed. The website is a scam please don't be tempted and disappointed - the site is a complete rip-off. I have attached photos too!

Bad Service
We payed for an item to be sent express post and we didnt receive it for 2 months, we were told we would get a refund for the express postage and we still did not receive one. and when the item came it was completely wrong! The communication on this website is a joke! the customer service is poor and have alot of people wanting to take matters further with there service as am I. This website is poorly run and I will never refer it to anyone and will take this matter further!

False statements
I purchassed a faucet from the Light In ZThe Box company over 1 month ago. Before buying the item I was on an online chat with a sales associate asking some questions. They told me that the item would fit my sink with no problem. When the item arrived the item did not fit, and I could not get a part to make it fit anywhere. I contacting the Light In The Box comapany which is extremely hard as they have no phones only sending emails. It takes a very long time to get a response and they are no help. Ihave had several associates tell me that they are going to get my refund but then I get other anseres as no. The item Ipurchassed was $135 dollars and on the DHL reciept they marked it down to $49 dollars. Which was a lie. They say they are refusing my refund and I want to press as much charges or maybe even a class action lawsuit against them!!!

Unwearable bridesmaid dresses
I ordered an US size 6 bridesmaid dress from the website, it arrived looking totally different to the picture and was huge - Probably an Australian size 16. It is unwearable but can't be returned. Never order from Lightinthebox.com!

No Cutomer Service
Light in the Box has absolutely no customer service, they only give you a way to contact them by submitting a ticket and then they never respond to it. I have read many customer complaints about them since I have not gotten any help from them and what I notice is that instead of helping their customers they surf the web for complaints and then try to make them look good by answering the complaint and promising to help. If you are reading this before buying from them save yourself the aggarvation, cause once there is a problem with your order you will get no help from them.

Failure to reveal return/xchange cost
They dont disclose the cost DHL is going to charge you to return/exchange whatever you may have purchased from them. DHL told me it would cost me $82.50 in US funds to send back to Light In The Box. Plus the site tells me after the fact that it will cost a 15% amount of product for restocking and then you will also pay shipping for the new item to be shipped out to you if this is the case. THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SVC. TELEPHONE NUBMER AND THERE PROCESS FOR GETTING A "RETURN FORM" IS REDICULOUS. I'm on day 3 of going back and forth with this company via e-mail and its never a two way conversation but a back and forth a day later conversation. It sounds to me like their basically probing me and forcing me to agree to pay all the fees mentioned above or they wont send me the form. I wont buy from Light In The Box (China) ever again!!!
This is the e-mail i received from them time after time.

Credit Card Theft
Do not do business with this China Based Company. They charge your credit card immediately, give you a order number, then do not allow you to log back into your account. The only way to contact them is to do online chat. Online chat tells you that your order is in their System, but held for "fraud investigation". They tell you that you must submit a xerox of your credit card, your passport, and a utility bill. FORGET IT! IT IS A SCAM!. Now you must do a charge back on your Credit Card and WAIT! Completely ruins your Christmas. STAY AWAY!!!

not what it seems
do not buy dresses from light int the box. They are showing you a great picture but when the real dress is in your mailbox it's an other dress. Almost the same but very cheaper, you can see trough it. They don't care about customers at all. They took your money, and they wiil ship your stuff about 60days later. Their policy about returning is not 7 days, i'ts 5 days during week. So, if you did received your clothing on friday, you aonly have until tuesday to make a request to them. Because it will take one day for them, to respond to you. Don't make business with them. You will be deceive

Poor Customer Service/Dress made wrong the wrong size!
I should have listened to my husband!!

Instead, I was swayed by the professional looking website and online chatting with a sales rep... DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!

I ordered a formal dress for a wedding. I had it "professionally tailored" to fit my specific body type. The dress came. I tried it on anxiously. Then to my utter disbelief, disgust and dissapointment the dress fit me like a tent! It was HUGE. It fell off me. I stood bewildered in front of the mirror trying to hitch it up. I measured the waist of the dress. Get ready for this... My waist is 27 inches. THAT was the measurement I gave to Lightinthebox.com. The dress measured a waist of 37 INCHES!!! TEN inches too big! AND it was much longer than the picture showed on the model.

SOOOO I tried to call on the phone to talk to a customer service rep. This is the great part- THERE IS NO NUMBER TO BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE!!! Yes, I was a fool to not realize this before I made the purchase.

HOWEVER they are very quick to chat if you are interested in BUYING THEIR MERCHANDISE. This built my confidence because I spoke several times with someone before I bought the dress.
BUT here is where they are sneaky. ..

When I tried to chat with someone as I did with such ease when I wanted to make a purchase, they suddenly sent me to a box to submit my request and I was told I would be contacted by customer service within 24 hours!

WHAT A JOKE!

I then clicked on the box to chat with a rep as if I was going to buy something. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY SOMEONE WILL TALK TO YOU. I asked if they have an 800 number to call. I was told they have "no phone service at his time." HUH?!?!

To make a LONG story a little shorter I called my credit card company. I spoke with someone that disputes charges, and much to my great relief they credited my account. I sent that awful dress back IMMEDIATELY! I was very fortunate because I used paypal. My credit card company said if I didn't they would have had to jump through hoops to get an address to send it back too.

It was a waste of my TIME and it could be a waste of YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE! I feel so bad for any of you that did not get your money back!

I spent half the day trying to figure out how to resolve this and my husband had the pleasure of saying "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Never received item, or refund!
I ordered a Wedding Dress for my forthcoming nuptials well in advance. Had heard nothing and received no dress after 2 months so I emailed enquiring where my dress was... only to be told that they had made a huge administrative error and hadn't actually processed my order. I was assured that they would rush my dress and ship it with a matter of urgency at no additional charge, which I was more than happy with.
After a week and a half, the dress still hadn't arrived, so I emailed again. I received an email stating that due to high demand, again, they still had not started making my dress. Needless to say, I was not happy at all! They offered me a free dress, but it would not turn up in time so I asked for a refund. They assured me they would refund me in full and were very apologetic for their grave mistakes... wasn't really good enough as I thought I had found the perfect dress... and their late admission of the fact they couldn't provide me with the dress I had paid for left me 2 weeks to find a new dress... great!!!
Well 2 weeks on, I am still waiting for a refund. First I was told I would have a refund in 3 - 5 business days, then 5 - 7, then up to 45! They even tried to blame my credit card company for the delay, even though I paid with Paypal and there are no problems with my account. I have since received two contradictory emails... one stating that they had no right to refund me my money (they had every right to take my money so how does that work?!)... and one stating that my refund request had been rejected by their finance department but they would do their best to refund me in a further 5 - 7 business days.
I really really doubt that I will ever get a refund from this disgraceful excuse for a company so I cannot stress anymore... please please please DO NOT EVER buy from this store!!!
