I ordered a watch directly online from Light in the Box. Shipment of item appeared used--no instruction paper and watch didn't work regardless which buttons were pushed. I sent photo of what was received and messaged Customer Service. They said I would have to wait for an instruction sheet. I messaged them again that it was broken regardless and requested return/refund and have never heard back from them again. Stay away! Wasted money.

Awful and a total scam.
March 16, 2022

I am so disappointed with every item I ordered. Please people don't buy things from this site, it is at your own risk if you do. The quality of every item I bought including trainer is the lowest of quality. What you see is not what you will get. This is so heartbreaking as I ordered five items and not even one is useable. Their size guide also is wrong, you end up with over size clothes. So painful for the amount of money spend.
Stay away please please please.

I have to return two cell phones to this website located in china. These cell phones cost $139.99 but
Does not detect AT&T sim cards. It took them more than two weeks to reply with
Forms to exchange the defective cell phones. The website says it will only take 24 hours for customer service to get back to you but it took me more than 12 e-mails in 2 weeks. The worst part is that they already received the item back which I spend $40 with tracking but they never get back for status pass 2 weeks until this date. They have phone numbers but only if you can speak chinese and only for pre-sale inquiry One thing I learn do not buy imitated products from China..

Still no refund
January 5, 2023

My wife ordered a swimming costume which turned out to be the wrong size.
We had to send it back, not to a warehouse in Sydney or somewhere, But to the manufacturing shop in China, at our cost of $32.00 The costume was $64.00
Australia Post tracking can only track the item arriving in China this was 4 weeks ago and Ligh in the box is saying it hasn't arrived at the factory yet, which I doubt.
We are out of pocket, wife has no costume and this has now taken several months.

Mixed Review
November 7, 2023

This order contained two items, which gave me very different experiences. One was a pair of lightweight striped coveralls. A seam split the moment I put them on. I sewed it up, and another one immediately split. The material frayed too easily to hold a seam. I've had many orders from LightIntheBox, and this was the only one that was a problem.
The other item was a classic blue coverall. They fit perfectly, and the fabric was good quality. No complaints there at all. I actually ordered another pair.

Questionable
November 25, 2015

Was weary about ordering off this site, I wish I read the reviews first! Paid for my order and the money was taken out of my account but I didn't receive an email or anything about my order being shipped. There is no way to contact these people, what kind of company is this? A big thumbs down from me that's for sure!

September 5, 2021

First time shopper. I ordered jumper in two sizes wanted to make sure one would fit. As im planning for my sons wedding. Received and neither one fit to my disappointment. Tried to contact customer service for ticket to return and received a reply made to order cannot receive refund. I'm the only working parent my husband is disabled and do not freely spend over $350 freely. Very disappointed with customer service policy and product.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I regret to hear about your problems.

Please be kindly noted both products are Made-To-Measure. It means we did not have any product in stock, no matter standard size or customized size. After you placed this order, we asked our suppliers to tailor 2 NEW jumpsuits for you specially. We clearly state the following information on the product page, under "Add to Cart" button:

【This is a Made-To-Measure item, which is produced one by one. All sizes and color choices, including all custom measurements, require additional tailoring time.】

We are sorry that you did not notice it before. Based on our policy, usually we are unable to accept return for any quality Made-To-Measure item. You can check the return policy statement in following link.
https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0

However, I truly value you as our customer and do really want to help you. So I had conducted new Ticket ID =24344631 in our ticket center and provide Special solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply and let us know your decision. Thank you for your cooperation.

Beware! Scam!
July 16, 2023

Absolute shame that I placed an order on June 6,2023 and its already July 15 and I have not received my order of 1 painting. They promised me delivery in 3 - 5 working days and today its a month and a half with zero response from them. All they have to say is that they will check with their local courier and revert. Their local courier company is non existent as I have tried calling and emailing them several times with zero response!
100% scam! Beware!

Light in a box clothing store. 0 stars
May 14, 2022

I order 3 dresses. They were going to take too long to get to me (1 month). I cancelled before it was processed and they are only refunding me 50% of my refund. They claim the dresses are custom and tailor made. This is wrong, I clicked a size! No measurements were sent. Terrible and I will never order again.

Do Not Use!
July 29, 2021

The most awful shopping experience to date. I ordered a pair of cargo shorts in good faith. They took a month to arrive and came up as a tight fit. When I tried to return the item they explained that they come straight form the factory in China and are based on Chinese sizes. What has that got to do with sizes? A 34" waist in the UK doesn't change in China! The returns policy is to give them to a friend or relative due to the return costs not being viable.
I will not use this company again and I highly recommend any readers to stay clear.

Dear Kevin,

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. I am very sorry that your order wasn't satisfactory and will try my absolute best helping you solve this.

The problems you've raised will be considered as very grave. I saw that you've ordered several items. Are you unsatisfied with all the items? Can you please let me know which of those you wish to return? The package left our warehouse on the 16th of July, was available for collection merely 8 days later. According to Royal Mail it waited another 4 days to be picked up. In addition, a return ticket can be requested with just a few mouse clicks from within your account. There aren't any tickets to be found under your account. You would have received a confirmation and reply within 24h from a customer service representative to help you handle this.

We have sent you an email (ticket #24129915) to help you resolve this problem. I stand by that we can help you obtain a refund without too much effort!

Awaiting your details,
LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

Ordered a black dress in 2 sizes, didn't like them, contacted to get a return shipping label. They told me they were custom made for me (not true) so they could not take them back. I have "contacted the supervisor" so we will see if they can figure out how to read. Until then, I would not recommend this site to anyone. Ever.

Their service is excellent, and products really well made. I ordered custom dance shoes and am really thrilled with them. The first pair was sent as the wrong size. Light in the Box remade them and sent a new pair- free of charge. Very impressive! I ordered some of their TS line clothing, but beware: it's for the Asian market and runs about 2 sizes too small. I'm a Med. And the only thing that fit was an XL. It's all really well made, though. Order 2 sizes large...

Crappy headphones
May 31, 2020

We purchase a gaming headset for my son and he was waiting anxiously for them. We didn't receive a confirmation or order number but did get a paypal confirmation that the funds were withdrawn from my account within minutes. When they finally arrived the microphone did not work. I did contact PayPal to contact the seller and return the merchandise.
Moral of the story: read company reviews before wasting money and time on items that don't work.

HORRIBLE! SCAMMERS!
November 16, 2023

If I could rate below 0 I would! This is a horrible site whose sole purpose is to steal your money. The dresses look cheap and of poor quality and if you want to return your dress they will find a way to scam you. They say it's like 20-40$ to return to their china headquarters but really its more like $80, but the material is so ugly that it is not worth keeping. These are international scammers BEWARE!

My experience with " LightInTheBox" is very good
August 13, 2014

My experience with " LightInTheBox" is very good. They are responsible, protect interest of customers, and sellers. In the end everybody is satisfied. The only thing, I would give an objection is, for example, if one bag cost on sale 5 dollars, shipment for that bag is 42 dollars, so is not worth it. On the other hand, there are free shipping items... To conclude, in my experience doing business with light in the box, was very good as I already sad on the beginning.

Misadvertised
January 11, 2017

In December 2016, I ordered two dresses and two coats from light in the box. The dresses were made from very cheap, thin materials that were falsely advertised. One even had a pattern on it that was not on the picture. The coats have shoulders too small to be worn (yet I ordered the correct size for every other company in Europe.) When the package arrived I was charged 35 for shipping (on top of the shipping cost when I paid for the items.) This was absolutely terrible, avoid at all costs.
