I could literally put my finger through it.
It was supposed to have native North American art on it but what it actually had was lines of swastikas on it.
I pointed out it was highly offensive but the answer was you must be a whining jew?
Is that relevant?

Hi Faisal,

Thank you for leaving a comment on our page.

We apologize for the fact that the banking payment system does not let your card complete the payment and place the orders. Please refer to the several emails we've sent, both ticket 24680980 and 24658382. According to our logs the emails were read, but we didn't receive a response. Eventually you can also log in to your account, and find all the correspondence there. There could be a problem with your credit card, we can't accept your payments due to security concerns. This procedure is for your own interest, to protect your bank account from fraudulent transactions. The received amounts have already been returned to your account. If you still need to order, then we suggest you use PayPal as a payment method, or ask a friend or a relative to place an order for you.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24817032) with further details. Should you have any questions or doubts, then we'd like to hear from you.

Happy to be at your service!

Disappointing
January 18, 2023

I ordered 2 gowns, since the gowns arrived too late for the event I was prepared to return although light in the box stated that my dresses were custom ordered. It was disappointing as I never sent my measurements! How can my order be a custom order?. Every other company I bought from allowed a return without making it so difficult. I will never buy from light in the box again nor will I recommend this company

There were the worst experience with online shopping in my life. They charged for delivery 13 eur and then when item arrived to Ireland DHL wanted 25 eur! Vat for backpack worth 35 eur. They charged Vat for both item + shipping with robber rate. If you don't pay vat you need to pay for shipping to sender or leave just like that with no payment. But you don't have anything. I tell you avoid extra cost and leave them to deliver local. Never more this is completely nonsense.

The color was not as pictured, it is ugly. This is 100% polyester and does not fall the way cotton does. The photos used imply cotton. I used the sizing guide, and these are HUGE. It took a lot of searching on the site to find return instructions. The search bar is useless in this regard. The return process id archaic and draconian, as if designed to discourage returns, if not to make it impossible. When i finally got to fill out the return application, A) it will not accept my photos and B) the submit button doesn't work. I have photographed the entire process to submit to the CA Atty General's office, Department of Consumer Affairs. DON'T waste your money!

Exchange for a trench coat that didn't fit.
August 15, 2023

I contacted the company and explained the large coat didn't fit and like to exchange it for an extra large and they were agreeable. At present, I returned the coat that I received and have been assured when the package I returned is received they will ship me another. Sadly because of Canada Post high price in sending packages abroad, it cost me 88.00. But nevertheless, I believe the exchange is worth it.

We purchased 4 of these light fittings and we are more than happy with them. They are 4w per light and are adequate for what we needed. However, if you want them as a main light, then being 4w each they most probably would not be of any use. We just love them. Here in the UK we have found nothing at all anywhere near as good and as different.

Broken Jewelry
May 16, 2018

I ordered 7 necklaces - 2 arrived broken. I ordered a 2X blouse that is probably a 14/16. I know I can return, but by the time I send it back and wait for new merchandise, it's just too time consuming. I will continue to buy from local vendors.

Dear Barbara T,
This is supervisor from LightInTheBox.
I feel sorry that 2 necklace were broken during transportation. Please don't worry, as we can help with a return for a replacement or a refund either in case you prefer to purchase the item locally.

About the size, we do apologize for the confusion but we provide a clear size chart on the item which lists all the measurements for each size. As such, if you follow our size chart the item will be fitting, whereas if you order your local size some difference may be found.

But even in this case we can help arrange a return, as we accept a return for any non customize item within 14 days, no questions asked.

I would like to help and I have raised this ticket for you, please will you follow up? https://www.lightinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=ticket_after_detail&id=18238662
Thank you very much.

Resolution of issue
August 11, 2017

Resolution of issue by customer services. At the end I got the item I wanted at reasonable price. I bought a bicycle jersey. Good product.
Initially I did not get the item despite the tracking says that I have received it. It took a while to wait to see if it was just delayed. Later the customer servece recognized my frustration and decided to send a item again which didn't take much time. Happy with the result at the end.

Refund my money
September 9, 2017

I ordered on 14th of June, still waiting for it. I raised many tickets but all they say is keep waiting. Useless website. They are making money this way, they will not deliver your order and keep your money. I asked for refund still customer care person is asking me to wait for 2 more months. Shameful. I HATE THIS WEBSITE. I would have read reviews before ordering, silly me.

Nothing like the picture
August 1, 2023

I thought the product image was not a true representation of the product I received. I explained this to Customer Service and provided images to make my case. My LightInTheBox account was credited with the full amount within 48 hours thereof and I opted to initiate a withdrawal (back to the original Credit Card) which takes 3 - 4 business days. Also, I have been informed that I may keep the product. I must say, Customer Service has been Top Notch.
