fraudulent return policy
Light in The Box has a fraudulent return policy. Do not purchase anything from them! I adhered to their terms of returning merchandise exactly: I returned a $200 dress in perfect order with tags and reported to them within 48 hours my intent to return the dress and the reasons: it not only did not fit well but was poorly made, with sequins falling off upon arrival etc. After nearly 7 weeks of waiting for them to receive the dress, the company finally informed me that it could only refund me 50% of what I paid because they had measured it against their model and it complied with the model measurements! Since this is a Chinese company and you can only send them emails regarding customer service issues, I would advise against having anything to do with them. Buy American.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
I'm sorry to hear you got the wrong size for the dress you ordered and was unpleased with the quality. I understand your concern on the refund but rest assured that I will follow up that request. For me to do it, please send me your order number at Angelie@lightinthebox.com. I'm hoping that this will be resolved soon.
We will then get back to you for update. Thank you for your patience.
All the best,
Light In The Box
I also have had an AWFUL experience with Light in the Box. I will spread the word to avoid ordering from this company. They have been hugely unresponsive to my request for a refund. Once I realized the dress would not arrive in time, I asked to cancel the order and get a full refund. The dress was just shipped today, the day it was needed. Based on the comments I'm now seeing, I fear the quality will be very substandard. I will never buy directly from China again.
Hello, next timrdde, you should purchase your dress from Peridrdess. I ordered the wedding from Peridress mainly for the guaranteed quality and best prices. It is an online dress shop with seven years history, I just told myself I should do the choice in the seas of different styles and designs, whose price framework is 100$~500$. I received the package in 6 weeks afterwards the order was placed online. I was timely informed where the step was during the order procedure and dress manufacture. Everything went smooth.I tried on the dress to find what it looks like. Absolutely beautiful and perfect fits, especially of the costume jacket, I couldn’t cheat myself to say! The shopping experience shew me more trust in online dress shops! I will be back soon for another evening dress should be prepared in one month! So you can't miss Peridress.
I also have purchased my wedding dress from Peridress. The dress arrived in time. And fit me perfectly. I will purchase more dresses from Peridress in the future.
I also have purchased my wedding dress from Peridress. The dress arrived in time. I love it so much ! It is great for such a price! My neighbor who was a seamstress was impressed about the work on my dress! I am so happy! They aslo have gave me a 5% coupon code: p002rm356d. I'd like to share it with you. For this website is really excellent. You can't miss it.

Paid $30 to return was then told it take almost a month with all their shipping shinangans to send replacement. So, I advised just to refund my monies. I am still waiting for a refund and...

broken shower piece
Do not order from this website! I recieved a broken piece in my shower faucet set that I ordered and was told that a replacement part would be sent out. 4 weeks later, I recieved what I thought was my replacement piece, after several attempts to finds out where and when this piece would arrive. They told me that they could only tell me that it was on the way and nothing more. Now that I have this package I opened it to find a piece that belongs to the shower set that I did not need! Originally I even sent them pictures of the broken piece with a description. (Fyi) I recieved my original order within 4-5 days. I now have a useless, several hundred dollar shower set that I cannot install, so if anyone wants to buy it let me know! I am getting no response from customer service. And they had previously told me that they do not have a phone #... So if you want to pay for cheap crap, get poor customer service with no phone line, and ultimately take it in the rear, order from light in the box!

over charged for duty tax
Light In The Box incorrectly reported the value of our purchase to FedEx & US Customs, which then triggered a tax which FedEx billed us for. The dress was $170, but the bill for the Duty tax was $150 (for a dress they reported as valued at $753)! We tried to get Light In The Box to fix the problem with FedEx, but they would not contact FedEx. And FedEx wouldn't contact Light In The Box. We attempted to give FedEx a copy of the Light In The Box bill - but they ignored all correspondence. In order to not be squashed by these two incompetent behemoths, our only choice is to pay off the extortionists and chalk it up as a lesson learned. I am extremely disappointed with both companies and highly recommend that you do not do business with either of them.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
I'm sorry to hear that you have to pay so much for the import tax. We strongly suggest our customers to read on Customs and Tariffs in our Knowledge Base and we offer a link to submit Custom Inquiries at the time of purchase. Unfortunately, some countries put high levy on imported goods and that is beyond our control. Thank you so much for your patience.

All are true
I am in Australia and have been blocked by this company from making negative comments on their product reviews. I will use a Chinese lawyer in China if necessary. You can not get a phone number, email address or the name of a senior manager. It is ridiculous to sink so much money in to the site construction and then have no customer service. I will see this through and not give up until I receaive a full refund for unsatisfactory goods
I ordered a small $20 scarf August 1st - it is now September 22 and it still has yet to arrive. Their website is only a front which overshadows their bad business practices and poor management tactics. I have already submitted several tickets using their ticket system and I get the same robotic BS reply. I am definitely not ordering from them again. I will order from Amazon.com from now on.
I am waiting for a sleeve for my iPad, , , , still not received after 2 weeks when I log onmy order does not show, but money has gone from my account for the item... Light in a box where is the em and delivery. I will be contacting my bank about this shortly if nothing is delivered...
no goods deliverd and no money back
i payed for a laptop, and it never came, i asked for the money back, and was told to send all my detailes and a fhoto copy of the card used, before they would cocider even thinking about it, this company is a rip off con job,
this company is a scam! notice that no one replied back saying that their issue had been resolved, because that is what i'm looking for, resolved issue from complaints. i have been scammed by this company and it is 2013 now and my purchase was over 2 years ago!
here's my post:
I ordered several electronics and gadgets over two years ago from this Company for my boy and they NEVER sent it! I had asked them to put the money back into my account they never did- I said, either way, send me my order or refund my money. During this time I had been busy with my investments that it required me to travel every three months so I never checked if it was put in and they never did, they just 'forgotten'. This time I have a bit more free time and I asked them to put the money back and they are offering me a coupon. I dont want a coupon, I want my money back and that's a problem.
This company is a scam- if you are an American be careful! I will make time to write the Better Business Beureau abut this and file a complaint once and for all. If you are an American and knows a way to stop this company from scamming into our country please let me know, because that is what I am going to try to do, stop this company from doing what they do. One thing I did that's right was to keep all their emails to prove their scam. Be careful buying online people!
paid for product did not receive product
bought a corset got charged for it never received product
total scam
I tried to purchase a dress with this company. After attempting to pay with five credit cards, it still would not process. I use these cards regularly. I tried to pay through Paypal. It would not accept. I then wire transferred money at the cost of $45. They said they never received this. I had to pay my bank to investigate and send them information. After this, they finally agreed to refund the money which I still have not received. They would not refund my wire transfer fees even though they were at fault. They do not have any that you can speak with. You can only communicate through email and their responses often do not answer the questions you have asked.
lightinthebox is no good not only am I getting the run around my order looks like crap they used see through beads not the nice one like the pic's show but the worst part it they but it all in a bag a mailed it the flowers are flat and there all bent out of shape they look better in my pic then to see in person
Do not buy from Light in the Box. You will get the run-around, just like this customer says.

cant return product
I orderded three dresses from light in the box, all size 12... When the products arrived, I found out they were too small, it was a size 10 but marked 12.
As I av purchased a dress from them before that fits perfectly, I contacted them by email (The only way), I got a response a few days later requesting for a photogragh from me to proof that the clothes are too small..
Wait a minute, I thought this must be a joke as I av already parked the three dresses in the box waiting for the rma code (Return code) from them, so I could ship it and get a bigger size.
I sent 10 emails after that and did not get a single response up till now, there is no shipping or return address online, so I cannot send it back.
I feel so stupid because the occassion I bought the dresses for is just a few days away and I am left with no option now but to buy new clothes in the store.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Please Email feedback@lightinthebox.com with your Order number and Ticket number. I'm going to speak with the head of the customer service department about this as this delay is completely unacceptable. Please do get in touch so we can resolve your issue right away. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

I have slso requested an exchange for the correct size with no response after 24hrs through the online ticketing system as well as the app. I ordered the featured product in a UK size 10 but it fitted like a UK size 8. I requested an exchange for a UK size 12 . Customer service has been very poor
Krijg een link die niet werkt 2x.Hóe krijg je een Rma code .Je kunt niets terug sturen. Maar ze sturen wel een verkeerde product.
Señores : Me he quejado y les he contestado a sus correos o mensajes. Sencillamente me ignoran. Todo esto raya en el absurdo. No cabe
otra explicación que se burlan de mí de manera evidente. Devuelvanme el importe de los 3 bolígrafos y pùntero laser y les prometo no
molestarles con mis quejas. Además de los 98 Euros del paquete de ropa. Prometo no volverles a comprar nada en el futuro. Me resultan
de lo más desagradable.
i need to return a blouse - don' t have your address - the address i have on the package is from china
i need to return a blouse - don' have your address - the address i have on envelope
Unfortunately, I ordered two replacement dresses for the two I need to return. I haven mailed several times for the agress in the US to return. Still haven't gotten an answer on that. However, I have been told I get 70% of the dresses cost for ready made! So now I have two dresses I can't return with no address, even when I do, who knows how much delivery cost will be plus 30% of what Iaid on dresses. Terrible return policy, even on ready made. Unless you know for sure it will fit don't order it!
Me too have an horrible experience with lightinthebox. Damaged electronics, and when tried to returned it, it has to be to China, $52.00 at my expenses, and they don't guaranteed the refund. Even worse they don't have customer service phone number. Not recommended to anyone to buy here, it's not an USA based company, is a risky place!
delivery and no customer service!
Cannot find ANYONE to contact about why my order hasn't even shipped yet, after 6 days, and has a delivery date a month later. Their web site is full of deceptive information, such as fast delivery, customer satisfaction guaranteed, always there to respond to the customers. Why is there someone to live chat with orders but they immediately cut me off when I asked about my order delivery time. I had wanted to say the order for the fabric sample to then MAKE a dress order. Well, they can go to hell now, with the dress order.
Order #[protected] OK, so if the one who said to include order #s does respond, I will write to tell this site. Otherwise, another empty blah blah blah!

hoes purchased too big
Ordered ladies shoes size 2 from light in the box. On arrival, far too big, more like a uk size 3. When i asked for an exchange they said no, as i had ordered the wrong size? They offered me a coupon for $20 which i refused. Also, it cost me £20. 22 customs charge for my parcel. My advice to anybody considering buying from this lot is: do not do it. Whatever you purchase you will keep, whether its right for you or not, there is no exchange or refund available. This company is absolutely disgraceful. Never ever again will i deal with them. Beware!

I am having huge issues at the moment with them...having found the site and over excitement i ordered so many things...only to be disappointed, by wrong delivery, high customs charges, no refund on wrong item, only partial and so after dozen email exhanges, sewing of one dress was worse than what a 5 years old kid can. Just crap, so crap and unreal...rip off and fraud i'd rather say.
unrecieved package
I ordered a dress on september 25, 2011. I payed $19.95 for fast shipping which had written that it was 3-5 days. On october 1, 2011 I never got it. I left the country and I didn't receive a call or anything to remind me of my shipping. Two weeks later there was a note on my mail box to pick it up but I was out of country and that why I payed more for fast shipping. When I came back on october 22, 2011 they said my item was returned to china. I want the dress or the money back. They didn't send me an email or put the package on hold for the meantime. On the home page there was absolutely no phone number or email to contact them so they can know I was out of the country. Can you please return my money or send the package back
the order was fully refunded in May 2015 as below, we supposed you received refund 1 year ago, will you please check with your bank account as we suppose you do not aware that we had refunded once we get the parcel is returned back to us.

If you asked the post office to hold your mail since you were going out of the country for so long, maybe you should ask them why it was sent back?
Unless you didn't do that? Since you implied you couldn't contact the company you bought from that you were out of the country. In which case, wait until the company receives the package back and hope for the best.
Also, I went to the site. At the top, there's a button for "help" which leads to "contact us".

poor returns policy

I totally agree. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I oddered $500.00 worth of merchandise. It was nothing like what I saw on their web sight . The jewelry was all broken and in pieces on the bottom of the box. I will never order from this company again. It took a month to receive my order. The clothing was all the wrong size and junk. Help us put this company down so that other people don't get ripped off like we all did.

I have bought things from this site twice. The earrings turned my ears green and one shirt is more for a small person than average size me.
Not that this a bad company or anything. The products I have are not of high quality. A chain on a necklace tarnished. As to whether or not I buy form this site again is still up in the air. They do have some really good things. I am now waiting for some RMA tracking number so I don't know what to do. 24 hours isn't all that long. They are on the opposite side of the world.

company misrepresents clothing
I'm sorry I didn't check this site before placing my order with Light in the Box. I had hoped to purchase a dress for my son's wedding. The dress looked great on their website and exactly what I was looking for. I even paid extra to send my measurement so the dress would be custom made for me. The dress that arrived was nothing like it looked on the website and was over twelve inches too long for me. The color wasn't even close to what I ordered. And instead of this light, comfortable dress I ended up with a cumbersome, uncomfortable piece of clothing. I wouldn't think of wearing it to the wedding. The dress is supposed to be chiffon, not close and they have a double cotton lining that adds tons of weight. It's obvious that the dress is not custom made but just a regular size. Now I'm trying to get approval to return the dress for full refund. I know this isn't going to happen, but I will keep trying.

return policy is horrible
Do not buy from them it is a scam.
I purchased a dress that was to have the same color sequins as the dress both brown when the dress came it had green sequins I wanted to return but was told I couldn't although the return policy states if a dress is not the same color or style. See picture the color of the dress was mocha not poop brown and the sequins were to be mocha not green.

Hi,
I bought three art items from Light In the box. Two of them are OK but one is not. It's poor quality and doesn't meet my expectation. I tried to create my ticket number to return this item. The customer service explained that I have to pay shipping cost for returning. That's OK, I can pay this cost and really want to have it returned .. but they don't let me know the address for returning ...
Basing on their policy, just allow to return within 7 days after receiving the item ... If they don't let me know the address for returning, how can I return it within 7 days ... ..I tried to contact customer service many times but there is no feedback ... Will not buy anything from Light in the box

light in the box scam and id theft
I need to warn everyone of a scam that I nearly got pulled into. I ordered some electronic items online from lightinthebox.com and made my payment online via my debit card. The next day I saw a message for me on their website when I logged onto it, saying that because my order was for a large amount of money (Actually it was $670) that before they would send the goods they needed photographs of my credit card, debit card, passport, driving licence, bank statement, recent utility bill. This worried me tremendously and I told them that I would not under any circumstances give them this personal information and that they should cancel my order and refund my payment. They said no problem they would cancel the order and make the refund. Well surprise surprise no refund appeared in my account and when I chased them about about they said they had made the refund and it must be my bank causing the delay. I called my bank and according to them they said there was no refund in the system. I contacted light in the box again and told they that they were lying and I wanted my refund immediately. After several days of no reply I then got a message from them saying that the refund had been refused by my card issuer because the card had expired (Which it hadn't) and that I was to send them photos of the card I used, an alternative credit card, my passport, my driving licence, utility bill as before. It was at this point that it became obvious to me that I had been scammed and that they were also trying to clone my identity. Be warned they are not legit>
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.

Light In the Box is using Dance America Inc Copyright images. They are not authorized to do so. Dance America items are manufactured in the USA. I have been unable to contact anyone at Light in the Box - no phone, no email, no chat available to assist me. Dance America will be contacting a lawyer in regards to this. Please do not purchase any items using Dance America Inc images! This merchandise will not arrive as pictured and the images are stolen! www.dance-america.com
Over the past year I have spent up to a thousand dollars with light in the box some of the items were acceptable some just junk. I did not complain because of the price and the cost of returns that is the risk you take buying from China. My most recent experience has forced me to close my account with them because of their attempt to steal my Identity. I always use paypal and they always get paid before the product is shipped. This last time I ordered 5 camera and they requested my ID and Credit card number etc. As described in one of the other complaints. When are they going to get the message that people do not put their passport, credit cards and other information on the net for others to steal or use as desired.
Complained to the supervisor and they cancelled the order.
BAD web site to deal with now. Maybe they should look at their policies

Don't deal with Light in the Box I purchased a bolero/shrug from them when it arrived I found it to be very poorly sewn the seams didn't match up thus sagging on the back of the left sleeve I complained via a ticked asking to return it but mysteriously the ticket disappeared then I sent an email via facebook still nothing so twice I left a very poor review the first was taken down the second we I expect the same will happen, they are very hard to contact as they only have a seven day return policy no customer service and left out of pocket, will never buy from them again!
I bet that comment above is fake and they never really contacted you.

my wedding dress
I bought my dress at lightinthebox.com. I ordered it custom to my measurements. When I recieved it the bust was 3 inches to small. My wedding is July 23rd 2011. I really don't feel comfortable sending it back without recieving a new one first. I do not want to get stuck with nothing at all. They offered me money to get it altered. You can't alter 3inches without extra material. They said if I return the one I have they can't gaurantee me a date the new one would come. I just want a dress that fits before my wedding comes. Who needs a wedding dress after the date of there wedding. Give me a break. I will send the small one back but I don't want to untill I have a new one in my hands that fits.

I have purchased many items from light in the box and have had no problems at all. Items were awsome (two dresses)and fit well. I have also ordered drapes and shoes and very pleased with both. They all arrived quickly, 3 days, and in very good shape.
