I ordered a white/ black wedding /prom 3 piece suit. The jacket is what I ordered. The vest/waistcoat is navy blue with white collar, and wrong style. I was expecting white. The trouser is also navy blue, I was expecting black. The combination is appalling.

I would like to keep the jacket, and return the vest and trouser for exchange, or refund if not available. I’m extremely disappointed. You should have sent my money back if the items were not available, than sending what I didn’t order.

I’m having difficulty finding the returns/exchange/refund page, adverts keep popping up randomly. Please rectify this issue.

Impossible to return item and impossible to cancel an order unless you are an expert in gobbledygook. Deliberately confusing and difficult, impossible to achieve result. They make you jump through hoop after hoop. Discussing customer after care. Hate them.

I would never use their services again, the product is falsely advertised on their website. What you get is not same as the images on their website. Below is the message I tried to send to the company on the return ticket. But much to my chagrin, I could not send the message the website would not allow the message/ticket to be submitted. A timer popped up and the message would not be transmitted. Now I am stuck with their crappy boots.Many issues with this boot. Many things were falsely represented in the photographs of the product, very important details. Details that led me to purchase these boots.

Let's start with the quality. In your images of these boots there are several place where a double stitch is present, the boots I received have no double stitch. I never purchase a boot that…

J'ai commandé 7robes sur les 7 quatre n'étaient pas le bon size une trop grande et trois trop petites. Nous avons constatés que sur la facture ils avaient changé la taille des robes . Ils vellent me rembourser que le tiers du prix sans les autres frais.

I ordered a summer dress from their website. It was not cheap at £27. The photo showed a dress which would be suitable to go out in. The real article was cheap and poor quality, the lace at the neckline has very few threads in it so is rubbish. 00 approx for postage.

It was so thin and light it came large letter postage!!! It is impossible to contact them without completing a load of forms !!! They are con artists, don't touch them.

Trying for weeks to get a full refund from a raincoat I ordered. I was told to join membership for a dollar. I don’t want to join anything. I just want a full refund for the raincoat . It’s still in original bag, never worn with tags in place.

I sent the light in the box company several pictures but I’m not getting anywhere with the company. I can’t afford to send raincoat back to China.

I have tried to contact Light in the box multiple times, all to no avail. The dresses I purchased did not look like the decor ring images on the site. One dress didn’t even have straps but did have the strap hooks.

The other was 3+ sizes bigger then it said it would be. I ordered a small but arrived more of a xl. Plus the material was shockingly cheap and finished terrible. I wanted a refund but no one has responded.

To whom it may concern,

I have made several purchases from your firm, 400 Euros worth of things. The delivery arrived when I was working out of town. When I needed to return the ones that really didn't fit, or made out of really poor quality (no human should wear those fabrics) I was reminded of the 7 day return policy and got denied. I am a very fair person, I really wanted to return the ones that are extremely large or didn't look like AT ALL in the picture. The other items, I was pleasantly satisfied. Now, this poor business exchange has lost you a really big client. I work for Costume Department in Vienna Film Commission and I was looking forward to future endeavors with your company. I was delighted to have discovered your online store. I am afraid, the poor return policy and…

Have you tried to return something to light in the box ! They say try and give it to a friend They say it cost a lot to return it to China It can take months for a refund They may not give you more than half value if item you ordered They say do nit return until they send you an address to return to But

they never email you that address They do not reply to your emails They hope you will just give up I just want everyone to know that they are nit a genuine decent company Stick to what you know They get away with it because you are hitting your head against a brick wall But if we all band together they will be defeated in their shabby customer service I will never use them again but worry people like me can’t let it others know how terrible they are All I can say is do not use light in the…

Poor refund policy You have to return to China . The city to return us more the items purchased . That’s the catcher . Note also the merchandise is poor quality. When buying cheap or discount items use Amazon .

At least you can return or replace

I purchased a size 2XL skirt. It arrived two weeks later, rather than the 4-5 days advertised. When I opened it I was shocked, I measured the waist which was 26 inches and the hips were 32 inches. The bag stated XXL. I sent them several emails, their only options were. SEND THE ITEM BACK TO CHINA AT MY OWN EXPENSE. (which will cost me a lot of money) KEEP THE ITEM AND GET A 50% REFUND (what's the point it does not fit and I've lost half my money) GET A 70% PER CENT DISCOUNT COUPON FOR FUTURE USE (I wouldn't trust buying from these scammers again)

If it is their mistake, surely they should offer a pre paid label to send back as most companies do!!! So, I have wasted my money completely. I should have considered when I ordered a size XXL, they were going to send me a XXL for a Barbie Doll!!…

I needed to return some items to them which just the postage costed me £18. They have received the items now weeks ago, every time I email them and ask where is my refund they email me back 1-2 days later with one line saying would get it back in 1-2 business days and I'm still waiting weeks later. I even asked them to let me know how and where I can send a formal complaint but they keep ignoring this, and just this I believe is breaking the rules, customers must be able to complaint!

I ordered a therometer and 50 face mask back on April 4th, 2020. Was told 3 to 5 days delivery and paid high shipping for faster delivery It is now 4 + weeks and still no products. Ticket number, 20762489, Order number 200404-936562518.

As for the products if I had known they were coming from China, I would not have ordered. That explains asking for a refund and getting an email telling me I would only get 50% back.

ordered product 04/04/2020 with fraudulent website saying they'll ship with delivery in 3-5 business days. Says order shipped but tracking ID doesn't work. Sent email to customer service on 4/15 and they replied that I should be patient, but they too couldn't give me a status only saying that I should have order by 4/20.

Still nothing and efforts to cancel order are ignored.

Received dress that was ordered on 20th January when received it was nothing like the picture. Material flimsy , stones are multi coloured on dress received but in picture they are clear. No body suit underneath. Looks cheap and nasty.

I would not recommend your company to anyone and I definitely will not be using your company again. I request a full refund otherwise will claim off my credit card company as goods as not described

Hi, I am writing to you in hopes that you can fix this problem. I hope you will understand what I am saying. I haven't had any luck with your customer service. I am sorry to say that your company has bad customer service, hope this is better.

As you can see I first bought this top on Dec. 31, 2019. They sent me the wrong top and the wrong size. I filled out a ticket they gave me a small reward for it. So went back and bought another on Jan. 29, 2019.

I received this on Feb. 19, 2020. Again they sent me the same top they sent me the first time. Same no sequins and a size 2XX I wear a size 12. They are telling me they can not help me because I received the top on Jan.

29, that the time has run out. This place is very slow to get their orders out. So after getting 2 tops that were not right…

Can someone help me for crying out loud because i either need my money or give me the chance to make another choices and make your return process user-friendly and less complicated please!!!!! Process is not user-friendly!

No phone number to talk to anyone! 00 or there about. Most of them did not meet my expectations and i want to return for exchange but i cannot navigate means…

Warning ⚠️ Buyers BEWARE. I made a purchase in early July, selected a 5-13 business day delivery. Paid extra for shipping insurance. It is now day 43..... I don’t have the item..... customer service won’t help.....

first told to wait for 40 days then contact for refund. Now told I have to contact my post shop and no mention of a refund. What was shipping insurance for???? Why did I pay money & extra money to ensure I’d receive the item or be reimbursed if I didn’t???
