Returns/exchanges

AI Highlights
  • - Bought about $250 of clothes in February; deliveries arrived piecemeal.
  • - Two duplicate shipments and one item that didn't fit; some items missing.
Updated by user Mar 24, 2026

Don’t buy large quantities of clothes from this seller. I placed a $250 order with them in early February and am still receiving my items in dribs & drabs.

I assumed that I would receive everything in 1 or 2 shipments like Amazon but this company doesn’t behave like Amazon.

Also, some of the products need to be returned because they are too small or they have shipped the same item twice. I can’t get any directions from the seller on how to do this.

Original review Mar 08, 2026
In early February, I bought about $250 worth of clothes from you. They have been delivered piecemeal over the last few weeks in small shipments.

I am still waiting on some of them. So far, I have received at least two duplicate shipments and one that didn't fit right. I'm going to need to send some of the clothes back for a refund or exchange, but I don't know how to start. I tried calling, but there is no number listed for Light in the Box.

Can you please tell me how to proceed?

I would like to do it all at the same time, so I guess we should wait until the entire order has been delivered. Please advise.
Pros:
  • Nice clothing
Cons:
  • Lousy customer service and very difficult website to manoeuvre

Preferred solution: Instructions on how to return merchandise for refund or exchange.

User's recommendation: Don’t buy large orders with many different items from this seller. You’ll wait forever to get it all delivered and the cost of shipping is high.

I would like to return 2 pairs of cargo work pants I recently purchased a few weeks ago. I bought 3 pairs of pants but have worn the one pair and I am not satisfied with the product.

They have the tags on them still and have not been worn. Thank you.

Light In The Box - Cannot find order

I placed an order for a Christmas T-shirt. It has been taken out of my bank account, but I have never received a confirmation email or anything.

I cannot get through to anyone at this company and will be filing a dispute with my bank if I do not get a resolution soon.

Every time I try to log in, it says that my email is not on file. Yet, I had to put an email in to place the order!

  • No customer service

  • Misleading descriptions

User's recommendation: Very poor quality and customer service- avoid Light in the Box

No customer service phone # for incorrect orders.

AI Highlights
  • - Only one of two shoes arrived; the other didn't.
  • - The arriving pair is the wrong size.
  • - No customer service number; support is via the app.

I ordered my handicapped father 2 pairs of shoes; one arrived, the other was not delivered. The one that did arrive is an incorrect fit.

I have tried to return it for a replacement, and there is no customer service number to be found to explain the situation.

They only wish for you to download their app and deal with a robot. This company is a joke; I highly recommend using another.

Cons:
  • No customer service phone number and no refund

Preferred solution: Full refund

I made a mistake giving them a star- I meant no stars!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Delivery times are over three weeks.
  • - Estimated delivery times are shown after purchase.
  • - Relay has no local pickup; nearest is 40 minutes away.

Terrible delivery times- way over and above three weeks.

They advise of estimated delivery times only after purchase- had I known, I never would have purchased!

The delivery company they deploy in the UK (relay) do not offer local pick up points with nearest being 40 min walk away! Im still waiting for my delivery - its been over three weeks!

User's recommendation: Avoid them with a barge pole!

Product went to wrong house

Light In The Box - Product went to wrong house

Ordered a button up shirt for Halloween that I needed for work. Shirt showed up to wrong house with my same address about 20 minutes away.

Drove over there and looked at the picture they sent me through the shipping company and it was a completely different house. They screwed it up so bad that they couldnt deliver it to the WRONG house.

No way to get ahold of them and had nothing to wear to my works Halloween dinner. I am currently out $20 over a shirt that went somewhere completely wrong.
