This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I regret to hear the dress does not fit for you now.

Please be advised that your dress is a Made-To-Measure item. We did not have it in stock. After you placed this order, we asked our supplier to tailor a NEW dress for you specially. So your order required tailoring time before shipment and this was why your order could not be shipped as soon as it was placed. Based on our policy, usually we could not accept return for non-quality Made-To-Measure items. You can check the return policy statement in following link.
https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0

However, considering it is the first time you ordered from us, I'd like to handle your case specially. I had conducted new Ticket ID =23693750 in our ticket center and provide new 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.

Dear Okuoye,

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please kindly note that our company doesn't operate a call center now, so we're sorry that we're unable to provide a hotline for customers to call.

But all customers can submit a Ticket to contact our customer service department. Here is how you can contact customer service: https://www.lightinthebox.com/r/contact-us.html

Or if you have any question with the product before purchase, you can submit us a question via "Q&A" section on the product page, so we can help you further.

After checking, it was found you order a shirt or a ring via Order #44979976. Did you order them via a different order and have problem with them? If so, please advise us your Order Number and more details about your problems. We will help you resolve any problem with our greatest effort.

Your kindly understanding and cooperation are highly appreciated.

I don't have an account with them and have never bought anything from them. They keep sending me spam and don't offer a way to unsubscribe without creating an account. At this point, after numerous attempts at having the spam cease, I am calling this harassment and a clear violation of the CAN-SPAM act of 2003 and CCPA of 2021.

STOP HARSSING ME IMMEDIATELY.

I ordered clothes from lightinthebox. When the orders finally arrived the items were such trash and way too small. I've tried to reach them on many occasions but I've been ghosted. I'm contacting the BBB, sitejabber etc., the New York State Attorney General's office, my bank and anyone else I can think of. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Please be noted "QHXHV0420001205YQ" is not a valid order number. Our order number should be like "210526190046403130", for example. Could you please send us your correct order number?

Next time, please kindly log in your account and submit a ticket to contact our customer service dept. We will further check what caused the problem and then help you resolve any problem with our greatest effort. Here is how you can contact customer service: https://www.lightinthebox.com/r/contact-us.html

If you are buying something and you don't like it or it doesn't fit and you want to send it back to Light in the box, forget it. You are simply not getting your money back no matter what. I followed every possible rule and their website will not issue you a refund ticket or address to return your item.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I regret to hear that you want to return the Sky Blue dress as ordered.

Please be advised this is a Made-To-Measure dress. It means that we did not have this dress in stock. After you placed this order, we requested the supplier to tailor a NEW dress for you specially. Based on our policy, we are unable to accept return for non-quality Made-To-Measure items.

However, I consider that you might not be familiar with our policy and I do really want to help you. So I had conducted new Ticket ID =23645374 in our ticket center and provide some Special solutions for your case.

Terrible

I have attempted to order an item twice (shame on me) from this company, and have yet to receive a delivery, refund or any response to my complaints. Avoid this online retailer!

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. Please kindly let me explain what happened to your orders.

We regret to tell that you provided wrong zip code in the shipping address of both orders. The correct zip code should be "27358" while you entered "07823". We know it might be an accident that you entered wrong zip code. But please be advised the packages of both orders were not delivered successfully due to this problem.

We do really want to help you. I had conducted new Ticket ID =23645102 in our ticket center and provide solutions for your case. Please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.

DON'T BUY
May 22, 2021

If I had an order number I would put it in but they didn't furnish me with one. There was no confirmation email, no returns slip or returns information on the bag. Admittedly the item was sent to me but it was not the same as the photograph, it wasn't the same colourwise, and the item did not fit.
You cannot get in touch with the this company.
DO NOT BUY A THING FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE BAD NEWS!

$80. For nothing! They arrived quickly but then the bummer began. On each one the side of neckline was noticeably wider than other side, the armholes were different from each other. They were too loose and baggy as if made for someone a foot taller, it was crazy. I liked the loose fit dress but then sleeves were so tight I thought they would rip! I'm a size medium but I gave it to my friend who is a size 2! I couldnt find the return tag in bag or online order which is maybe my bad and i was having some personal hectic times and couldnt mail them back right away. I think the worst was the order was supposed to be under $50. But my credit card was charged $100.! But then showed a $20. Credit. My Old Navy order was perfect in size, style, material and fit and a lot less for same amount!
