“Was broken when opened package. It appears to have broken when placed in box at fulfillment center as outside of package intact. Reported promptly and followed links given on their site to return product. Links nonfunctional so could not generate return ticket. Requested help and company send detailed email. Atlas after wasting much time non of the suggested methods would generate return authorization. This is purposeful obstruction. Bad customer service, cheap products and based in China.”

“Please check terms and conditions before placing an order Quality and size of 2 dresses I ordered very poor. When I received my order the return address was Birmingham but when I contacted Customer Service I was told the parcel had to be returned to China costing 3 times what I paid for delivery. I will not be ordering again from this website.”

“Impossible to return the item. They mislead you and make you believe that you can return the merchandise , then when you arrive at the post office , the cost of the shipping is greater than the item itself...like more than 70dollars to return a 25 dollars dress! Will never use this company again!”

“Bought a shift dress and wrap. Checked equivalent sizing on their chart which suggested that for a UK size 18 I would need XXXL. When my order arrived ( fairly promptly) I found to my horror it was more like a size 24! I decided to return my item. The next few days were a nightmare trying to negotiate the Light in the Box website.You have to apply for a ticket in your orders . the ticket has a number. You then have to wait while customer orders reviews your return . Then you are supposed to be sent a product return form However no form was issued as they were apparently very busy When finally I managed to contact the company I was given three options. One- to return to China where I would be responsible for expensive shipping and tracking costs and would only have a refund on the item itself. Two- I could keep the dress with a 5% discount .Three- I could keep the item and get a Reward which valued 20%of the item I was returning as a coupon ,/voucher to use as a discount for future orders. I was instructed to return to Asia depot with a host of details to include. The cost of return and tracking was nearly half the cost of the dress . I decided to give up and keep the useless dress which means I have already wasted time and money for nothing.I cannot wear the item and it will cost more to have a considerable alteration I was attracted by light in the box goods but I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN .I feel as if I have been conned well and truly !”

“Was diagnosed with cancer and needed a hat to protect me from the sun. Ordered a suitable hat which lightinthebox said was delivered. When I said I hadn’t received it they sent a email to say there was a delay but would arrive within a couple of weeks. Three months later I am still waiting. I asked for a full refund but they are not willing to refund me. I can understand that things go wrong but this company has lied and has shown no interest or offered any form of customer service. Company to stay away from. My advice, think twice before placing an order.”

“I’m embarrassed how swindled I was!!! I spent 95$ on shoes and they came in a broken box and were like child’s play shoes! Hollow plastic brown heel and plastic fake leather. They are so ridiculous! I would never wear these in public. The pictures they show on the site are not at all what you get.”

“Customer service does not deserve even one star. The package has not been delivered, probably got lost. Any attempt of contacting the customer service finished with their answer to wait 2 more weeks and that they consider complaint resolved. No way to force them to even start an investigation on what has happened to the lost parcel. Not mentioning about possibility to get refund. And their answers are so inappropriate and irrelevant that they make customer feeling taken for granted and ignored. STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND.”

“I ordered two dresses and two summer tops. The quality (lack of quality) of the fabric is terrible...feels like plastic. The dresses do not fit as advertised. I would likely NEVER order anything from these people again, as return process is difficult”

“Took 3 weeks to arive. Sizing indicated is way off. Returning is just impossible, so I am stuck with the merchandise and they have my money. They win for now, but I will never ever order anything from them again and will pass the word along to all my friends.”

“Got a couple of good items here but it is really hit and miss. Returning is a nightmare so some clothing are going to the charity shop. One is poor quality and the other is too small. And I did check the size before buying too. Will not be buying from there anymore.”

“This was the first time I had used them. I was very impressed with the quality and the price. I bought two dresses and they fitted perfectly so I have now ordered another two. The only downside I can think of is the time it takes for delivery. I would definitely recommend them.”

“DISGUSTING COMPANY **AVOID at ALL COSTS** Two dresses ordered. One dress was wrongly advertised on the website. The dress was obviously a cheaper copycat that had features similar to the advertised dress but was certainly not the dress I had purchased. The other was three sizes bigger than the sizing chart provided. My experience with the company has been extremely disappointing. The products are not fit for purpose and thus False adverting, this company is trading illegal. I am waiting for further information from the company as to the outcome of my situation I do not want to receive (Following quote from the company) ‘a) a reward of 50% of the product's value, which you can use on your next order to get discounted price. ’ as I do not want to waste my money on a product falsely advertised and be in the same situation b) ‘Keep the item with a refund of 30% of the product's value.’ - after spending £120 30% isn’t good enough. a full refund inc covering the return costs (return cost £25) at this point will only be acceptable before I take further legal action.”

“I ordered six different summer tops at one time. I got 4 so far. All items STINK LIKE POOP! Febreeze didn't help, washing is impossible. Cheaply made cut fabric, most without hems! NO tags on anything. They came in broken wrinkled up zip lock style bags that were dirty! None are as described. Two of the tops have a neckline that wouldn't fit a five year old but the rest is huge! 3 Horrible quality. Just horrible everything. Do NOT purchase from this company!”

“I have recently made a few purchases. from light in the box and items I have received were much to my satisfaction the only items I were not happy about pairs of trousers I received I was very disappointed with them they would be better if they were cotton Had a problem with tops I received not up to scratch I think they were made of cheap material - they could have been better Waiting for dresses hopefully they fit as Chinese sizes are very different to ours. I have had to wait nearly 1/2 months for orders placed . I also think that orders could be handled better and could be early dispatched than the are better material should be used on many garments as now they use cheap material on many items could be better on customer service I think they should do orders quicker than now.”
