Light in the Box Reviews

Light in the Box, found online at LightInTheBox.com, is a company which describes itself as a global online retailer that delivers products directly to their consumers in multiple countries around the world.
Their website goes on to say that they offer a wide selection of products at attractive prices organized into three general categories: apparel, small accessories and gadgets, and home and garden items.
Within these three categories there is a wide variety of subcategories, including Weddings and Events, Electronics, Phones, Health and Beauty, Toys and Hobbies, Sales, and more.
They also sell a variety of customized and Made-to-Order products, including their wedding dresses.
How Does it Work?
Customers who order products from LightInTheBox.com should know that all items, excluding Made-To-Order and disposable items, lingerie, and Clearance items, can only be returned within a strict seven day window.
Even items which you are returning due to a quality related issue are still only returnable within 7 days. In addition, items can only be returned in brand new condition, unused and with their original tags and packaging.
Certain items have warranties and if these items have defects or other manufacturer issues you can exchange them or have them repaired via the warranty guidelines for your specific items.
Made-to-Order items, which include their wedding dresses, which do not fit properly but are otherwise made accurately to your specifications, are eligible for a one time re-sizing service.
This extremely tight window for returns and exchanges, even when dealing with an issue of quality, is problematic for the consumer. There are many other websites which offer similar product selection with better returns and exchange policies.
Customers who are still interested in using this website and purchasing their products can choose to sign up for their mailing list, which provides occasional coupons for discounts like free shipping and more.

I didn't receive my order
Still I haven't received my order that was paid for on Jan 11, 2023 with an estimated arrival of Feb 1 to 10 2023...
Do not buy from light in the box
Ordered 2 items of women's clothing both were much different than as described, fabric much cheaper and style different. Very unhappy with purchase, return policy is almost impossible...
Worst company ever
Ordered pajamas for myself and wife for a Christmas Eve pajama party we were hosting. Prior to paying it confirmed the order would arrive prior to date. I made sure I took a pic of this prior to paying and while ordering. After making payment the date confirmation stated items could arrive after date.
You are not able to contact co. Only by email And you have to download app first or you can’t submit email, In which you receive delay in response or not at all. So you’re not able to reject the order at time of payment. Items arrived after our Christmas Eve pajama party. Leaving us as host without pajamas! Pathetic hosting a pajama party and everyone comes wearing them other than the hosts.
Therefore no group family professional Christmas pajama pics taken, in which we had paid for!! Had family fly in from out of country that we haven’t seen in 13 years, so the family would have a special keep sake as their gift from us. That didn’t happen. When the pajamas did arrive My wife’s pajamas which had feathers, was not sewn onto the sleeves nor legs large gaps.
My silk pajamas did not arrive. I received some type of velvet looking pajamas. Furious!!! Attempted to notify to send back but I’m getting the run around with offer of discount and keep. I don’t want to keep my wife’s pajamas the ones delivered are falling apart and I’m not going to wear velvet pajamas! If you don’t want their discount they want you to pay shipment to send back to their China warehouse in China then they will make their determination.
Even after sending numerous pics of garments, garment numbers and etc. which they continue to request for me to send over and over and I’ve sent over and over. They are giving us the runaround. a strategy I think they are doing on purpose so you will take the discount and keep the faulty items. Not interested and I would never order from this company again!!!
Fraud to the Max
Don't order anything from Light in the box
Do not buy from this company!
Buyer Beware
Clothing items are mostly sized wrong. Upsize at least one and probably two sizes to be correct.
Shipping charges and times are horrible. Whatever your order totals, expect your shipping to be that or more. Whatever date it shows for delivery is about the date it will be shipped and expect about 2 weeks after ship date to be delivered.
Lesson learned … never again.
Worthless, Useless Rip Off. Don't Shop Here
Need refund
This company is awful. I returned a package over two months ago and have not received my refund. Awful to work with. Do not buy from them!!!!!!
Trash Company, Trash Customer “Service”, Read All Fine Print, Consider All Sales Final
They are horrible you cant get to them to find where your order is.........Should be investigated for criminal activity, go to your credit card company and cancel.
40$ To Return Something!!!
If you get something you want to return they charge a $40 return fee!! Everything I received looks terrible and even had stains on it. Gross!
Clothing looks nothing like advertised
All these "far Eastern" wesites that advertise these great looking, hig quality looking clothes are a scam.......in my opinion.
Crap quality that you wouldn't give away to the homeless.
I am so glad I read these reviews before purchasing from an Ad on Youtube. They like to censor these days, but they peddle trash themselves.
They won't issue a full refund even if the dress doesn't fit.
WARNING!
Had me send a ton of reply and pictures only to, in the end, have them tell me that they never intended to help me at all. (That the ticket was submitted too late??!)
Since I'm on the topic of submitting ticket. That ticket was a hassle on its own to submit. It was difficult to find and I had to download a TON of nonsense before I could even get to submit or contact anyone.
This after happened due to the fact that the quality of the clothes I ordered were the lowest quality of clothes I ever witnesses. I would never have paid for it, had I seen it in a store.
This misrepresentation is border lining fraud.
Now I'm stuck with clothes I will never wear. On top of it, it's a bunch of money for clothes that are not worth a quarter of what I'll be forced to pay.
It's a really hard blow on a single mum who now won't be able to buy clothes (that actually fit) to her child.
I take responsibility for the fact that I in good faith ordered too many t-shirts. (I didn't realize how corrupt, greedy and unethical this business is.)
I should have known better from a business I never encountered before and that I found in an ad.
PS The only reason it's getting one star even is because that is the lowest rate.
Yeah, they closed my ticket so I couldn’t respond further. Funny how the note says that I closed the ticket and not them. This company is the worst!
Just beware of scams
Unfortunately, I did not read all of these beforehand. My product does not match the description at all and I cannot return it.
Same!
A Scam, Run Don't Walk
Wish I’d read these reviews before I ordered. Similar experience to others. They aren’t good at making clothes or business eg customer service, they are good at photoshopping pics of clothes that don’t resemble what arrives. Then they keep on making excuses as to why they won’t yet “approve” a return. You do the return ticket? They say it was missing a photo. You send in the photo, now they want at least 5 photos. They Keep playing the game until the “7 days return is up and by the way, the return shipping to china ends up being nearly the value of the goods. This company is basically a scam.
Have not received lights purchased even though they claim delivered. Be very aware this is a scam.
Terrible product and is impossible to get refund.
Don't order anything!!
BUYER BEWARE
Cannot contact anyone for a phone number to call them. The site is in Spanish and they got the wrong address to ship order. Called PayPal and they opened a case for me to have it canceled. How do you contact them? Phone number? What are they hiding???
I ordered two men’s shirts using their size guide. They were both too big. One of them was huge and I can’t even sew it in the sides to modify it. The fabric was awful - shiny and slick - not something I’d ever expect for men’s shirts. Also, they were more than three weeks later than estimated delivery. They finally arrived but on different days several days apart. I was told to return one but not the other - ugh. Finally more than a month later it was resolved.
