“Ordered an item March 28 and paid for expedited Shipping (2-5 days). This took over 3 weeks to be shipped. Today is May 14 and I have still not received my item. Website does not update your order so you are left blind. First and last time I will ever use LITB. Go with a more reliable business.”

“I placed an order back in March and got an email saying it was shipped on March 23rd. Almost 2 months later, I still haven't received it and there's no informmation when I use their tracking. I have sent them several emails without a response. They are just ignoring me. Absolutely the worst online purchase experience I've ever had.”

“I ordered a non contact ultra thermometer on April 3rd 2020, was given a tracking number on the April 13th, even though I paid for 12 days delivery. Today is May 13th 2020 and God knows when my thermometer will be delivered. Please do not order from them. It's a SCAM”

“Order was placed April 11, 2020 cashed 4-13-2020. Still waiting. no response to my e-mails, no tracking number so I know is wasnt sent. Prices are good but it would be better if received the product. Glad I didnt invest only $27. I will give to June due to cronov 19 before removing it from my charge”

“DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS SITE - Light in the Box OR Mini in the Box. I should've read the reviews. We thought we were purchasing from a European site. We paid to have expedited shipping to have delivered in 6-9 days. Order April 6th. Nothing from them until May 8th. When it arrived we had to pay an additional 33 euro for customs/duties (for a couple of Fitbit straps!) The customs officer said that they were getting a lot of orders from this company with duties to pay and if you refuse to pay and return to sender, Light in the Box will not accept and will not refund order. So disappointing. What a complete waste of money.”

“Ordered face masks on April 5th from these scam artists. Paid a hefty amount for delivery with DHL, which was supposed to arrive around 10th-15th of April. Not only it hasn't been delivered but they have been ignoring my attempts to contact them for the last 2 weeks. They have put now a FAKE tracking number, purportedly from Netherlands' Post Office (for a delivery from China to Canada?!?!), which does not produce any results and pretend they haven't received my numerous request to cancel the order and get a refund. Here is the catch: if the order is listed as "shipped" on their website, you cannot receive a refund. So, with a fake tracking number, they can pretend we are all waiting for over a month for DHL to deliver a small packet. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. I cannot stress this enough. Avoid them like the plague. This is a SCAM and I am not the only one who has suffered from their shady sales tactics.”

“Read the reviews and thought maybe they had a bad day. Nope, they are as bad as people say they are. Waited 11 days after they said they shipped Order 2004231237030872 to ask why USPS still had no record of the shipments. Chrickets. Day 12 crickets. Day 13 crickets. Going to cancel my order. Thankfully I used PayPal so I should get my money back. Would definitely not recommend.”

“Ordered an item for my wife for Mother's Day with plenty of lead time, as the company was specific about how long it would take to deliver the item. Delivery was within the projected window and item was as expected. Price was great, quality good.”

“We, like other, bought an item expecting delivery to be from the UK. Goods (in our case dog clippers needed urgently) were said to take 3-6 days to arrive, by Royal Mail. That was on the 9th of April. We are still waiting and it is now the 11th of May. Numerous emails later, with our requesting a full refund as they missold the item, we have been offered £3.30. Disgusted. Our poor dog has been really suffering. Also going to contact our credit card company. DO NOT BUY from either Light in the box or Mini in the Box (the same company).”
