Light In The Box Customer Service blocked my email after not responding to 40 emails or refunding me the money

I placed an order in November 2020, I corresponded with Dennis Halfdan Butler from Light in The Box. You can see all the emails if you log into his account [protected]@lightinthebox.com if you have access or I can send each email to you. I placed an order for a man's jacket & 3 ladies tops. The man's jacket is too small & tight for my friend who is 5ft 5" so not even tall, the lady's tops were made badly & 1 was damaged but still sent out to me, they were very ill-fitting items. I contacted them asking them to change the ladies top immediately after placing the order, they said that they would make the changes. Now when I contacted them, they state that my ticket had been closed, they never paid anything, nor do they intend do as they blocked my emails. The order number is [protected]. They lied on numerous occasions stating that the refund had been made, then they said they would have to wait. The whole thing was a huge nightmare from beginning to end. They have taken my money & should not be able to treat people in that way. I have no idea why they are still in business as a company. Blocking somebody that you owe money to is technically stealing.

Desired outcome: 100% refund on the card I purchased with

Light In The Box 2 t-shirts square black & white Small Size

My name is Dieudonne C Byamungu
7318 Holly Hill Drive # 2139 Dallas Texas
Zip Code 75231

On January 30th, your company (Lightinthebox Seattle Washington) has taken 50.25 dollars from my bank account for my order of 2 t-shirts black & white square, size Small.

I am disappointed to see that 13 days after, you don't show up. Is this the way you treat your customers or I am just victim of your schemes.

I am at home from 4:00 pm.

Thanks for your silence after taking my money.

Light In The Box False advertising / will not accept return for refund

I ordered a coat in early December. I live in an apartment building, so when it arrived it ended up with one of my neighbors. Apparently arrived on the 11th, but it was not in my hands until this past weekend, almost 2 wks later. (I don't know why my neighbor waited, maybe they did not notice, were busy etc).
I opened and immediately saw A. Product was the wrong color, and B. it was significantly thinner/flatter than advertised. The color I was concerned most with. I wanted to return for refund.
I "messaged" their customer service since no phone number is listed. They told me I could not return for I exceeded the 7-day return policy, and told me that it was "beige" which I ordered, that there was no false advertising.
I then explained what happened with my neighbor, and how their website misled me. There are apparently TWO separate & identical listings of this item:
(1.) https://m.lightinthebox.com/en/p/women-s-daily-basic-winter-long-coat-solid-colored-hooded-long-sleeve-polyester-black-beige-l-xl-xxl_p7052494.html?prm=1-2.1.92.1
(2.) https://m.lightinthebox.com/en/p/women-s-faux-fur-coat-long-solid-colored-daily-white-black-blushing-pink-s-m-l_p8244509.html?prm=1-2.1.92.1

One lists colors as Black, Brown, White, and Blushing Pink. The other just says Beige, using the same BROWN coat pictured in the other listing. I figured this was just an error or something, because clearly in photo it was a darker Brown and the other listing said Brown as well. One lists fabric as Polyester and the other as Faux fur and Cotton. One says to wash with similar colors, and the other says to wash separately! The prices are different, one $77.99 and the other $83.99. They are the same product so I ordered the cheaper one (duh!). Yet so many of these details contradict each other. That is false advertising, correct?!
As far as their return policy goes, their website says 7-days as well as 30-days for items under "warranty". To qualify for the 7-day, items didn't meet expectations, can't be used/still have tags, and the 30-day "warranty" items are faulty/damaged or the wrong size/color. Neither listing for this item specifies which policy it falls under, plus my item is not the correct color as advertised.
I have been going back and forth exchanging messages with their customer service "supervisor Megha", but they keep saying the same things over and over again, and are not addressing these concerns or answering my questions. All they are doing is telling me I missed the 7-day return policy and offering me $20 credit, which I do not want. I cannot call them and speak to anyone. I have no idea how to proceed, but do not plan to give up without a fight.
I posted the listings links above. Attached are photos of the item still in wrapping, as well as screenshots showing the two separate yet identical listings misrepresented colors, misrepresented & varying product details, and return policy. Please help!

Desired outcome: Return item for refund

Light In The Box I have order some products and never arrived

I have ordered 2 rain jackets and 1 pear of shorts from LightInTheBox company online, on the internet from 14-15 the of January and have no products or answer until now from them, I have spent 642 danish kroner which I can't prove! I just want my money back! 😡 It is frustrating because I got this shopping site from Google and I thought that is a secure place to buy, it's actually unbelievable because every time when I've tried to track my stuff they are closing the page, I can not contact them at all! So I hope I can get some help after this message! At least LightInTheBox to write me and say what is wrong! Underneath I have attached some pictures with my order!

Light In The Box Daily emails

I am receiving daily, unwanted emails from lightinthebox.com. Their "unsubscribe" system clearly doesn't work. Today I've sent a number of messages to them at admin@lightinthebox.com and so far none of them have been bounced back to me as undelivered. I'm going to continue to do this regularly until someone from this business gets back to me. Is there anything else I can try to get them to remove my email address from all of their systems?

Light In The Box Clothes

I personally had a poor experience with this company and after spending about a month with their customer support it has gone no where. Now they are not even responding to my letters. Let me start by saying the only way to contact them is if you open a case. There is no phone number or direct email. Then you get 2 or 3 auto-mated e-mails responding to yours saying thank you for your purchase we're glad you like your items blah blah blah. It is very unprofessional. They should be shut down. When I finally got to a customer service rep named Alexandru, his Chinese to English was very improper and I thought I was talking to an immature 8th grader. First after explaining my complaint he offered me a refund of $41.5 then said ohhh I'm sorry now I can only do $30. Now I'm getting no response at all. Also they are very manipulative in their email when I canceled my order first. Again it's like an 8th header wrote it. In the big picture of the email it implied they would refund my order in credit but not to my credit card, mins you this is written in ALL CAPS. Then in the fine print it says you can add the credit back to your card by following these steps. Very misleading and poorly written. I'd like a petition to see this company shut down. Thank you for your time. Approach this site with caution. Good day. Again I feel that if you're going to have a company that sells outside of China you need a number that ANYONE can call, not just the Chinese.

Light In The Box clothing

I ordered clothing, out of the 8 items I ordered, 4 were the incorrect size. 4XXX and 3XXX were sent to replace the medium and large sizes that were orginally ordered. Futhermore, the glitzy dress by picture was not glitzy at all, but at least it was the correct size. Therefore the pictures are misleading. When I tried to return and get a refund I was told that it would be cheaper to donate the clothing then pay the postage back to China, also there is only a 7 day window for returns so if the order is a gift, there is little time to return if the clothing does not fit. Do not waste money with this company.
