“They sent me an item which was too small. It turned out that most of the items are non returnable. Even if it was returnable they only give you 7 days and the warehouse is in China ! Too expensive to send!”

“Ordered 2 coats for Christmas presents on the 11th December with the promise and charge of arriving in 5 days. Received email to say items will arrive in or after 29th when I’m away in holiday. No way of contacting customer services. Avoid this company at all costs!! Complete joke!! Also expect you to pay 50% charge for returning the item!!”

“Run away from This site. I bought a wig. It's ok but not the color or cut shown. I asked 4 a refund the day after receiving it. Rules say they will refund anything in 7 days. It's a lie! They emailed nonsense trying to make it difficult. Finally stated that I had to ship it back directly to 'friggen' China and it would cost more than the item but they would refund me a whopping $3.60!#!! of the $29.00 I paid.What?? This place is a CCP (right in their other address)scam. I saw a CA. address. If I knew they were DIRECTLY from there I never would have bought. I'm filing a dispute/complaint with my credit card company.”

“Orange cardigan sweater arrived stuffed in a plastic bag - wrinkled as though I'd retrieved it from a Goodwill box. Shoulder was dirty. NO LABEL at neck and no tags so, for gift giving, it DOES look USED -especially with the dirty shoulder. Looked at return. I'd have to pay RETURN shipping and already paid shipping once. That'd add up to $30 for a $35 sweater. Guess I'll see if dryer run removes wrinkle enough to gift it. Probably won't be able to gift it. WASTE OF TIME and MONEY.”

“Of course it takes forever to get merchandise from them, but that wouldn't be so bad in that in their photos, the sweaters look great. I have never seen a sweater like this. There is an inner, partial layer in the front that must be zippered. When you do so, it produces a big lump because the inner material is drawn up into a ball. If you don't mind walking around looking like you have a pot belly, than this is the sweater for you! The photo doesn't even begin to show how ridiculous it looks when you wear this sweater. In addition, the sleeves are too short. This thing is going into the rag pile! :( Buy American!”

“Please never use this company! I ordered a jumper which cost me £25 & I never received it. Whenever I emailed them it was always the same response that it had been lost in transit & they would send me another. I only wish I had read the reviews first. They shouldn’t be allowed to continue trading!”

“Their quality is terrible and returning an item seems to be impossible. I have been trying for 4 days and their system will not load my photos and their live chat will not work. So I am stuck with two pieces that are not as advertised and will not do business with them again.”

Hello, Thank you for leaving a comment. We regret that you've found it difficult to return your item. We firmly believe returning an item should be easy. From the website, a return can be requested very easily. I saw that you've ordered 8 different products, can you let me know which ones you need to return? After this is known, I'm going to guide you through the process. In addition, I've found that this order reached you within promised schedule. Please note most chosen items were not in stock at the warehouse, and are announced on the website with an additional processing time. Your parcel left the warehouse on the 22nd of November, and was delivered 11 days later . We have send you an email (ticket #24967240) to further assist you with this. Rest assured, we have many customer returning items back, and it's a straightforward procedure. We are looking forward hearing from you, LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

“Great photography for marketing their items. Very disappointed in quality and forget returns. I was offered .30 cents on dollar to return or I could pay shipping back over seas. Overall quality is terrible. I will never purchase from this web site again.”
