“The product was really great. The dog carrier was well made and comfortable for both of us. I was concerned that being sourced outside the UK would cause problems, but the website charged me in GBP and the goods were tracked until they arrived in the country and were then received a few days later. Better than I had expected.”

“Definitely do not use this company. I ordered a phone cover for my dad's new chinese Redmi Note 9 phone. It didn't fit. The company said it might be because Chinese and UK sizes are different! Its a Chinese phone! They said i would have to pay for return postage and it would probably take 20-30 days and only then would i be refunded and that maybe I should just keep it and give it to a friend and they would give me 10% off the value of the cover. The cover was 6.54 so basically I would get 65p back and i certainly wouldn't get the full £10.41 which was the cover plus postage!!!”

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I would like to help. Your order was shipped via SunyouMail on 2020-11-18. The tracking number is 9063780011706. Delivery normally takes business days: 15-30 / calendar days: 21-42. So normally you shall receive the package before Dec. 30th, which is 42nd days of shipping. However, we are afraid that your package might be delayed because it's really a busy time for the worldwide carrier, along with the COVID-19 will also delay shipment. I had conducted new Ticket ID =22468553 in our ticket center and will help you investigate the case further. please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I will follow up your case. Please be noted we source our products from the suppliers located spread in Asia. For your product, the most qualified supplier is located in China. So we sourced it from them and shipped it from our Chinese warehouse. We appreciate your understanding in advance. But please be noted that your order is not delayed. The promised shipping time is 4-7 business days (5-11 calendar days). So your package is still in normal transit when it was shipped out on Dec. 22nd. Next time, if you need the order sooner, we highly recommend you to place the order a little earlier. I had conducted new Ticket ID =22444847 in our ticket center and provide you more details about the package status. please log in your light in the box account--go " personal center"--"my ticket" to check our reply. Thank you for your cooperation.

“Ordered a t shirt for my dad for Xmas which took a while to arrive (it was unclear before purchase that it was shipping from China). On arrival it was too large but when I contacted for an exchange I was informed I would have to pay postage to return it to China to get any sort of exchange or full refund so was instead offered 10% of price refund (grand total of 90p) or 20% of the value in a gift form (£1.40 which could only be used if I ordered something else). Horrendous customer service, they blame the customer if the size or anything else is wrong. Now attempting to claim chargeback through bank or PayPal From these clowns. For anyone else thinking of buying, don’t. Go and find an alternative place where you can easily return or refund. If you decide to order, they will tell you it is Chinese sizes ( rubbish as I have bought from Chinese manufacturers before and everything comes up small) but they are actually about 5 sizes larger than any size in the U.K. Their concept of medium is closer to XXXL in U.K. sizing and this is not stated anywhere clearly”

This is Customer Service Supervisor from Lightinthebox. I will follow up your case. We apologize for the shirt is not fit. But please be noted all our clothes are sold with detailed measurements. You need to take the measurements first, compare the measurements with the ones indicated in our size chart and then pick the correct size. If you just pick normal size without refer to the measurements, the clothes always do not fit properly. We appreciate your kind understanding in advance. Based on our policy, we are unable to cover any shipping fees incurred for the return of non-quality products. You can check the return policy statement in following link. https://www.lightinthebox.com/nh/Return-Policy.html?prm=1.0.87.0.

Dear Terry, Thank you for having reviewed our website. First we want to let you know that we are very sorry that this order still hasn't reached you yet. We will try our best to quickly solve this problem. I see that your order dispatched on the 29th of October with our most economical shipping method. According the international carrier your package arrived on the 16th of November in Ireland . Given the long time it arrived in your country we assume that by now AN-post has already send your parcel back to us. Unfortunately we can't provide more detailed information, as this type of parcel cannot be tracked after having arrived at the destination country. tracking link: https://t.17track.net/en#nums=9063701158906&fc=190072 In this case we suggest sending your order a second time through improved shipping method. If you agree then this order could reach you within the next +- 15-20 days. However if you don't wish to wait any longer, then we will immediately refund you. We have send you an email (ticket #22439461) and we'll be awaiting your decision how you like this problem to be resolved. We are looking forward for your reply! LightInTheBox Customer Service Team
