I ordered a bike shirt that was way too small. I didn't want an exchange just a return and refund. It's almost impossible to find the right spot on the website for making a return. All I ever saw was that it was being processed. I never received an email. When I went back to the site to see if there were any messages, I found one that said I only had 14 days to return the item and that had passed. Soooooo no return no refund. I'll stick with Amazon.

They will cheat you by any cause. I had ordered a item 10 months ago but
The Item never came into my hand. They will never refuse you to refund
But they will never refund you.

The most horrible Website I've ever seen. Keep yourself safe before you robbed by them.

Order #*******556831
September 22, 2018

... This was an HTP LED86 LCD Home Theater Projector. A VERY good buy. Affordable. Works very well. Totally satisfied. After receiving I sat this projector up with little effort as everything was self-explanatory and very simple to operate even though it has many detailed functions, just like the higher priced models. I was impressed with it's vividness and sharpness on my projector screen. By placing an adjustable strip light around the projected area I made it look like an actual theater while not in use. Overall, this theater projector is very good and Light in the Box, as a seller, is great. The buying process is smooth and with all the perks they offer, the fast free shipping on most items and the customer service makes this company one of the top three that I continually shop at. A very impressive experience.

Order an item with expedited shipping on the order it states shipped within 3-4 business days. The product didn't ship out until 8 days later. Didn't receive the product on time... tried to cancel the order even before they shipped and they refused to give me a full refund. Even though they are at fault for not shipping in time while I paid extra for expedited shipping they still refused to give me a refund. Horrible Service! When I finally received the order the product was horrible.

Bathroom taps & fittings
September 21, 2018

Communication is definitely a problem. My questions were not really answered and in one case, links that didn't work were provided after the order was placed! Shipping was also expensive.
The goods however, did eventually arrive in good order. Yet to be installed so we shall see...

Simply the Best
September 20, 2018

Every Item I bought from Light in the Box for the past 10 years were good products and fitted well and looked awesome on me. I had about 2 or 3 items that I had to do some alterations, my fault, of course, I should have ordered a smaller size, but on the whole the products are worth it. I will surely continue buying from Light in the Box.

Regards

Veliki izbor robe, širokog raspona cijena, uglavnom više nego povoljnim. Isporuka se jako ubrzala i u zadnje vrijeme roba u Hrvatsku (osim ako ne zaglavi na carini) stiže unutar 2 tjedna
