“This company is a scam! Please avoid buying from them at all costs. If I could award them 0 or minus five stars, I would. I ordered something at the cost of over £50. The delivery was late and the products were useless. The return process was a nightmare and I had to pay the exorbitant cost of returning to China. I did not mind paying the postage as long as I was going to receive my full refund. The whole process has taken over a month. I've just received a message from them that my refund has finally been released but I have to go through another process of withdrawing the money into my credit card. The worst of it is that they have only refunded me $8........this is like a slap in the face and I just don't understand it!”

“Ordered a pair of shoes when they arrived they are not The size they say, tried to return was told had to return to China at my expense even though they came from Birmingham was then offered a partial refund of 10% if I kept the shoes ( only option as returning was nearly as much as the shoes) they sent a link to get my refund but it’s useless I think the idea is that you get so fed up with trying to get your money back that you give up Will NEVER use you company again and recommend to others that they avoid you”

“If there was a minus 5 that would be the rating. This company is a scam. Using false advertising, the quality and pattern of products you get is nothing like the pictures. Returns is a nightmare and expect to loose your money. I have spend more than 180£ on products and including 30£ just for the return and now they are refusing to refund me. You have to pay the extra- ordinary return fee to china. I have reported them.”

Hello Christopher, Thank you for leaving a comment of our website. We apologize that the shirt still haven' been despatched, and I can imagine it is frustrating having to wait all this time. The supplier of 2 of the shirts told me there is a high demand due to end of year sales. Please stand by, I've asked them if they could prioritize your order. We'll send you a confirmation email with the tracking number once the package was shipped. We have sent you an email (ticket #25032152) with further details. Rest assured, we will be putting our weight behind this to have this order shipped as quickly as possible. Happy to be at your service! LightInTheBox Customer Service Team

“Ordered a gift for my daughter for Christmas and was expecting it yesterday.. received a text from DHL to say they were delivering it .. no issues Didn’t arrive and when I chased it though DHL told me that LightInTheBox recalled the package In contacting “customer services” I was advised it won’t arrive for 2 weeks because of the pandemic .. what the pandemic has to do with this I have no idea the package was out for delivery before they pulled the parcel.. cost me an extra £16.65 for quick delivery.. they offered me €10 as way of an apology They have now closed my customer service enquiry so I have no way to speak to anyone”

“DREADFUL- The quality of clothes very poor and not true to size. On the size chart my European size is a 10 and it told me I should order a large in their size. Way too big! and the returns process is a joke. They offer you vouchers or 30% refund as postage they say is too high.It probably is when you have a few bits to return so the 30% refund is nearly the only option. I would not recommend this site.”

“I bought a Kitchen Faucets from them, the quality of the product is not very good. The button which supposes to change the water pressure is made of plastic and feels super cheap and low quality. When you pull the head of the tab out, the hose doesn't come out smoothly. The whole build doesn't feel like a high-quality and long-lasting product. They also sent me the Faucet with the wrong water connection size, I contacted them and explain the situation but unfortunately, they did not care, they just said this item is not refundable and the item is yours and that's it. They also have all these fake 5-star reviews on their product, I have written them a review and never come up in their review list, just show how fake it is. Really terrible customer service and return policy. If you don't want to waste your money shop somewhere else.”

“This website steals all your information illegally just by visiting it and makes you a member without even asking. When I ask them to delete my membership and unsubscribe me from numerous spam mails that they send me everyday, they tell me something is wrong and they can't delete my account or unsubscribe me. Consider what kind of terrible surprises you may experience in case you purchase something.”

“The company is a fraud, I placed my order on the 19th November and received it on the 20th December. The items are very poor quality and not at all like the photos of worth close to the amount I paid. Primary or even Charity shops sell better cloths avoid this company I will be sending back!”

“Ordered two Christmas sweatshirts on 25 November 2021 hopefully in time for Christmas. Delivery date 6 - 9 working days. Fine should be here in time. Not dispatched until 13 December. Estimated delivery date 15 - 19 December. Still not arrived on 20 December. Will they be here for Christmas 2022 one wonders. Unable to comment on quality of garments at this time but judging by other comments not holding my breath. Will not be ordering from this company again.”

“They sent me the colour wig (a black and blue one ) I ordered for my daughter. When I complained, they tried to tell me I had ordered the one they sent, but that I could return it to China at my own expense. They even sent me a picture of the wrong one , with green pen arrows pointing to it (as though I had ordered by mistake) which meant nothing, as I had the correct one on my purchase details (a brown and blonde one) and had screen shotted it. (see enclosed photos) Didnt hear off them again. Now I realize, I am not every going to get a refund, and they have no intention of sending me out a new one. Be very careful”

“I bought shoes for my daughter's Christmas gift. I paid extra shipping $24 shipping fee + $20 customs duty. The product arrives poorly packaged, the box was damaged, the smell of shoes like freshly color sprayed toxic order. The size was too small than indicated. I try to return it, but they don't offer me a shipping label, but offered me a 30% refund. I'd like to have a full refund. I left a review on the product, but it doesn't show it. That's means reviews are manipulated by the company. I want to have a full refund.”

“Can someone please help me to return my order. I ordered wet suits and I have received what can be described as gym wear so not fit for purpose. On your delivery email I try to click on returns and it's showing nothing in orders. What do I do next?”

“Do not buy from this company. Everything seems to come from China and it is very poor quality - nothing like the photo. Goods have to be returned to China at the buyers cost. Customer service is quick but this doesn't make up for the cheap Chinese product which is not worth anything near the discounted price.”
