I ordered 3 items on January 27th, product was shipped on January 31st supposedly. Shipping time frame was 6-8 business days. Never received shipment as of today, March 11. First contact with company and they said, tracking shows it's in NY. At that time it had already been past the 6-8 business days. They told me they would resend and refund cost of shipping. Next contact, they can't do anything for me as product shows it's been delivered. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE PRODUCT. If nothing else they should refund the shipping costs. I would never buy from this company again.

Order No: **************
Oder Date: 28 Feb 2015
Order Value: $ 348.17
First item was shipped using DHL(waybill no: *******790). Shipment never left China and was returned to origin within 3 days.
Then it was again shippend via Express Mail Service China(EMS Tracking No: EA*******CN).
Status has not changed since 4 March 2015. I think yhis website is fraud. I dont know if I will get the items for which I have alreadty paid $ 348.17.

Did not get my money back for the cancelled order.
Seems there is a robot in helpdesk, no way to resolve the issue after 1.5 months of disputing. Sad.

Long story short, brought an in car dvd entertainment system $400 it lasted 3 months and the sound has dropped on the left channel, have sent countless emails but no answer. Total crap for the money that I spent!

I ordered back in DECEMBER 3 items (It is now almost March). I hadn't received them over a month later, so I decided to contact them. They told me they were sorry and resent the items to me. It has now been an additional month and I still hadn't received the package. They sent it to the United Arabs rather than United States. They stated that that was the address I had given, needless to say I know I didn't. Miraculously even though I shipped to my billing address, they still received their money. How was my bill charged if I didn't give the proper information? And how did they not receive these items stating that it was an invalid address before the fact? None of which makes sense. It should have been declined in the payment route.

Now they are telling me I have to reorder the items that are more expensive now, and wait for my refund until they get the products back. Awful customer service tactic. I haven't received my items in over two months, they were sent to the wrong place, and now you are telling me I have to reorder for a higher price and wait for a refund? That has got to be a joke.

I ordered around 170$ of goods from lightinthebox.com. An i payd with my card.
I received a mail asking me to send them a picture of the credit card (with numbers and expiration date covered) and a copy of my documents and i replied.
After this i received an e-mail "your order has been canceled. You will receive back your money a. S.a. P." I am ever waiting.
No way to contact customer service: order is closed, so no tickets, e-mail doesnt work and phone number is busy.

UPDATED:
Money received back after around a week. Without any message and information from their side. At least, problem closed.

I ordered my wedding dress on January 20th. It was set to ship on February 7th and it did just that! My dress reached the United States in one day I received my dress via DHL without any extra fee's or problems on January 9th. My dress is GORGEOUS, it looks wayyy better in person than on the website. The only advice I would give to a bride placing an order with light in the box is to have your correct measurements and go up two sizes. I was measured at a size 14 in a local bridal shop but I decided to order my dress two sizes bigger which would be a size 16 and it fits just right! I am one happy Bride!

Scam. Picture of the dress I ordered was definitely NOT the dress they shipped to me. It was similar, but a poor quality reproduction (knock off). The dress is meant for a flower girl-for a wedding. Very poor quality and using a picture of a better quality dress with no intention of actually providing the dress pictured is deceptive and unfair business practice.If the actual picture of the actual dress was what I was looking at while shopping I would have never chose to order it. I did however receive the order in a timely manner.

UPDATE: This is their reply. Had they provided picture of the actual dress they sold I never would have chose to order it! I don't care if it looks similar and they believe the quality compares. It is fraud. It is not the same dress! The material is very cheap and the dress looks like the cheap dress-up dresses you buy in the toy section at Wal-mart. I would not put this on my child for church and absolutely not for a wedding. They should not be allowed to operate in this way.

Ordered a ceiling light fixture from them. Same shipping issues as others - took weeks to arrive and then had to pay duties/taxes and brokerage fees. Once it finally arrived it was exactly the look I wanted. HOWEVER, the lamp is impossible to install, therefore, completely useless. Not compatible with, nor approved for any north american type standards for both installation and safety. Unsuitable/incompatible housing and dangerous wiring. Illegal, unsafe and no electrician can or will install. So many products sold in North America are made in China and are approved, therefore, acceptable for use here. This company obviously doesn't bother with any of that!

POOR POOR POOR SHIPMENT SERVICE! BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH SINCE ITEMS WERE SHIPPED AS STATED ON MY ORDER AND STILL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF MY ORDERS WITH NO HELP WHATSOEVER BUT A TEMPLATE RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE. BIG BIG MISTAKE!

Every thing I have ordered is not the right size and need to be sent back

I ordered a scarf on this website on December 31,2014. I thought it was weird how I didn't receive it yet since it's almost been a month. Turns out, my order was "cancelled" but I never went on the website until today. Even though it was marked as "cancelled", my card was still charged. I want my refund.

I hate this site. They *** me twice. On the coat above I ordered it in November and held it until Christmas and it was way too small even though it was labeled XL. These guys couldn'that help me. Then I ordered some other things from the site and payed extra money to have expedited shipping so we could get it before Christmas. Well expedited shipping doesn't mean expedited PROCESSING so we got it in January. That's **. My next move is to contact Better Business I'll probably find out that they have had many complaints and are rated an "F". They probably won't print this because of the unfavorable review.

I ordered 3 items of clothing totalling $56.50 including tax and shipping. The site clearly staed for all 3 items that processing would take no more than 24hrs and that my selected shipping would be 3-5 working days.
On completion of the order I saw "my order" had an estimated shipping (not delivery, SHIPPING) date of 10 days from the order date. I immediately cancelled the order but the transaction had gone through.
When i checked my bnk details online i saw that $57.63 had been taken from my account. I consider this THEFT plain and simple. If i authorise an amount to be taken from my accoutn THAT IS ALL I AUTHORISE. Added to this (after raising a "ticket") they are saying they will take upto 21 business days to refund me $56.50...

I have taken the issue up with my bank and they will be taking it further.

Do NOT ORDER from this site.

THere is no customer support and every turn is designed to take you in circles down an automated response system.

They (obvioulsy and ILLEGALLY) overcharge.

If you need anymore warning than that to NEVER USE THIS SITE then you must enjoy juggling running chainsaws and running in traffic blindfolded.

I ordered about ten things from this site, mostly nightwear. I spent about $60. When I received all of it, about 3-4 weeks later, the clothes smelled like chemicals. Nearly every single item had something seriously wrong with it, aside from the chemical smell. They looked like they had been made in a hurry and didn't get finished. Some of it was torn and others were stitched together incorrectly. I sent photos and detailed messages regarding each item and tried really hard to get my money back or return them. I had heard that I might not even get a response or they might be rude but they were actually really polite and responded in a timely manner. They did not want me to return them because they said that it would be really expensive so they offered me a $20 refund and $10 store credit. I argued that I spent a whole lot more than that and did not receive anything in the form it should have been. They said they could only refund me for the damaged items. Which apparently excludes chemical smells, things sewn on backwards, rips, tears and incorrect sizing. They offered me an extra $10 refund in the end that I did not receive. By the end I did not want to deal with it anymore. I was perfectly reasonable and polite but I still got screwed. My store credit expired 20 days later, not enough time to even get over my anger and order again. Also, the sizes listed on the website are way off. They do not know how to convert sizes between countries.

I will not order from Light in the Box Again. Ordered 2 faucets through Light in the Box. First one ordered and then site had no record of the order of my signing up. After 3 weeks, I ordered same faucet again. First faucet showed up 4 weeks after initial order and was defective. Second item took so long that I had to purchase another faucet locally and put aside second one to use at a later date. After trying to use the second one, it is also defective. I am a contractor and can not wait weeks for delivery of defective items.
