This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I placed a order on December 8, 2017, and it was shipped on December 16, 2017. They said it would be here in 4-8 business days still I haven't received my package. And on top of that nobody is getting back to me nor does my package have a tracking number. I've always order from this website and I have never had this problem before. I just want my things.

Light In The Box I ordered 2 pair of alpine tweeters and a single 8g amplifier wiring kit.

Placed order on Dec. 4th. Got the amp wiring kit yesterday. The box it was shipped in was to small so they smashed it in there w/ no packing material! The worst is that it's missing parts! No red power wire (which is more like 10g wire) and no terminals! It looked like an open box return that they sent me. Going to give them a chance to clear this matter up. I pray lightinthebox.com will help me with this problem quickly. There's a lot more that I want to buy from lightinthebox, but want spend a dime until the fix this.

Light In The Box wii controllers

I ordered three controllers on Black Friday and it said it would be delivered within 10-15 working days. I tracked the order and it was shipped on Nov 22, 2017. It is now Dec 22, 2017, and I haven't received the order. My order number is [protected]. Now, my kids won't be able to play their games this Christmas Day. Disappointed customer. Honestly, this is the first time trying this company and if my package is not received by tomorrow then it will be the last time. I promote good service and unfortunately this will not be one that I do.

And I waited for the refund for next few hours, but I didn't got the refund back...

Checked my bank a/c but the refund was not there so tried to login and contact with customer care services but while login it was showing that my password is incorrect... Then I went all through the process and got new password from this site when entered still said your password or email id is in correct I did many time with new password but still cant login... Looks like this is fraud site... Can anyone help me to recover my 2150rs?

The exact same thing happened to me. The DPD slip was left while we were not here and it has been 10 days and I cannot get a hold of DPD or Light in the Box to tell me where my package is. Says it was delivered to "Jaeger" but I have no idea where or what that is. No address, no phone number to call to track down the package. I've called and gone to four DPD delivery places and no one has the package or can tell me where it is. It's ridiculous! I have gotten no reply from DPD or LITB about my "Ticket" and can't reach a phone number! Aggravatiing! I shouldn't have to go on a scavenger hunt or figure out clues where my package is!

Light In The Box [protected]`

Hi there.

I have made an order, order number [protected], I have paid through paypal, and I have been patiently awaiting delivery. However on my account on LITB, is says I have not made an order, so there is no way for me to track, or to even to complain or raise a ticket, as on my page there is not open orders. I have been sent emails from yourself saying confirmation of order, I've received and email from paypal saying the money has been taken, and I have then received an email again from yourselves saying fulfilment has started. I still have no way to track my package however. All I want to do is check the status of my package and see an estimate of delivery time. This is proving impossible as LITB says I have no order with them, despite having an order number and confirmed emails. Please can someone help.
Kind regards.
Rhian Borrell.

order number and date of purchase is as follows

Order No: #[protected] of 2017-11-24

Light In The Box 2 makeup sets.

Upon receipt of my order in undamaged packaging. The both of the makeup sets that I had purchased were damaged. The eyeshadows were broken and had gone to powder all over the sets. I tried to make a complaint but as I don't have access to a computer only an iPhone. I am unable to submit jpeg photos, so the complaint will not send without them. Iam very disappointed as they were Christmas presents and it seems I'm not going to be able to get a refund.

Light In The Box order for mi4a phone not cancelled as requested

As per the return policy of LightInTheBox i placed a request for cancellation of a Mi4A phone; the reason for cancellation being, it took more than 48 hours for shipping whereas the site listed that the phone will be shipped in 24hours.
However, in spite of honoring my cancellation request, the LightInTheBox team sat over my request for 2 more days and after that they shipped the phone.
Now i dont need the phone any longer, and i raised several tickets with LightInTheBox to convey the same, but they haven't responded to a single one.
I still need to cancel this order as I do not need the phone any more, please advise what can be done.

Light In The Box website not functioning properly

I have been trying to raise a complaint through the normal channels, but I cannot submit my complain because the web site tells me that my email address is unconfirmed. I have tried to confirm the email address using the button on screen which purports to send a confirmation email, but no email is being received. I am therefor unable to submit my query through the normal forms.

My email address (and Log IN) is [protected]@williamsequineservices.co.uk

Light In The Box product purchased online

Order number [protected]

Order date November 17, 2017

I have waited a long time for this package and not received anything. I am unable to track this package. All it states is it has left china and being sent to UK Heathrow airport. Can you tell me where it is. Because this present was for my son's birthday yesterday. I've now had to go and purchase him something else. I expect you'll be either telling me it's on the way or it has been lost in transit. Either way I am requesting a refund for my item.
Really not happy.

Regards

Alex

Light In The Box refund policy

I purchased shoes from the above company and the product I received was slightly small and not suitable for the outfit I required them for. Prior to purchasing I read the returns policy which states " In the case that you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, we have made returning products FREE and EASY!"
In addition before proceeding to the checkout it states under the product 14 day FREE returns. (Please see attached photo).
When I lodged a ticket with them to return the product they advised that I am liable for shipping costs. I went to the post office and they quoted that it will cost around $30 to ship internationally.
I would like to make a complaint in regards to the false claims this company makes about their refund policy.

Light In The Box package not received, refused to give refund

I ordered 4 x GoPro harnesses (order #[protected]) on 14 October but I never received my package. The package should have arrived in 4-7 days but it has now been over a month now. After the first complaint, they said it could take up to 30 days. After the 30 days, they said it could take up to 40 days.

They are refusing to issue a refund. This company is a joke. I would not recommend buying anything from this company.
