Awesome Halloween duvet (doona) and matching pillow cases. A pumpkin filled with fire from the breath of two dragons and adorned with a black cat, mushrooms, and other mystical elements makes this set really come alive. Zippered closure on the duvet and folded pocket style pillow cases. Lightweight and super fun! I really like how the colours pop!

Ordered two pairs of high heels platform shoes for my daughter as a Christmas gift. Wanted to get my shopping all done before the rush. They arrived today. A black pair and a nude pair. All jammed together in one crumpled, dirty small cardboard box. Not really a box either. Just cardboard taped together. I was disgusted. I opened them and tried… Read more ·  15

one on. My daughter and I are the same size in shoes. They were nowhere near the correct size. Couldn’t get them on my feet even. Tried to contact Customer Service. There’s no phone number. No email address. You have to download apps and all this stuff and still nothing. I have sent an email to an address that is their’s but it’s for people wanting to buy so it won’t be passed on I’m sure. I’m gutted and angry. They say they say on website they do not give return labels. Customers pay. But given the state of this order I expect them to send me a paid label. They demand the returns are in original packing. A crumpled cardboard filthy box. If I do do not get satisfaction I’m going to the Office of Fair Trading and it’s so bad, maybe even A Current Affair. Don’t deal with them! I have spent a lot of money for this rubbish.

I purchased a 1080P Vlogging camera, plus a SD card from LightInTheBox as a gift for my grandson. It looked very pretty, but the camera was faulty from the start. Unfortunately when I gave it to my grandson for his 11th birthday, it was outside the thirty day warranty period! And sadly, I had a disappointed grandson because it would not take… Read more

videos at all. Instead it just froze completely. Plus the SD card was corrupted from the outset.

Initially when I contacted LightInTheBox I was absolutely unable to obtain any satisfaction. It took many emails and a great deal of negotiating before I finally struck a most helpful Customer Service Representative called Megha and a shout out to Megha, she managed to arrange a full refund for the camera, for which I am very grateful. Thank you Megha for your help.

But it is a shame that it took such persistent effort on my part to achieve this.

I’ve ordered an Apple Watch band from them nearly two months ago and I got it delivered end of last week. It was a hassle to get it delivered and I requested the refund multiple times although they kept asking me for patience. Anyway I got it delivered but just keep in mind it can take up to two months.

Purchased two shower grip rails. Package arrived however one of the grips was damaged in transit and unusable. Box was damaged and consequently rubber seal will not seal to wall. After requesting a replacement I was notified via email that I would be charged 50% of total price for replacement or alternatively a measly 30% refund of total cost. … Read more

Ordered 2 packs of Unisex Aprons Set, Durable Solid Color Polyester Kitchen Aprons with Adjustable Neck and 2 Large Pockets, Machine Washable through Light In the Box. The product was extremely poor quality to the point that the straps/strings were not even long enough to tie the apron at the back. The fabric almost felt like plastic and was… Read more

hard and even though it was polyester it crushed the moment you touched it.

I contacted the supplier and they offered a 30% refund on the purchase price or a 50% store credit. I said I wanted a full refund and they said I needed to return the product at my own cost. The purchase price was $44.78 plus postage $7.68. To return the product at the cheapest possible price through Australia Post was $38. Obviously they know the cost will be prohibitive so they just opt for a credit or reduced refund so there is no incentive to return it.

I was buying this for a start up charity, so to receive an offer of $13.47 as a refund of a substandard product, when I spent $52.46 and waited over 2 weeks to arrive I was extremely disappointed. The aprons will now become landfill :(

If zero stars was an option, I would have given a 0 star review.

I recently received my 2 ouku mens shirts. They were advertised as linen-cotton. Upon arrival and inspection and on label they were POLYESTER. I've been scammed previously by this company with mens caps advertised as cotton , only to receive very plastic like rubbish, unwearable. BEWARE.

 Follow-up  · Company offered to refund but stopped communicating when I could not work out how to access to apply. I will not do business with them again due to the consistent misleading by some of their suppliers. Its a lucky dip...thank you.

Disgraceful customer service!! Buyer beware…NOT AUSTRALIAN SITE!!! My Mum bought a dress on line that was far too big…it was a really complicated process finding the way to return & she finally got the offer of 50% credit or 30% refund and sending back to an Asian address costing $20-$40! Buyer beware!

 Follow-up  · Grateful "Mood Melbourne" finally offered a refund however the $26 it cost to send this back to China, let alone all the time it took to "negotiate" .... I do NOT recommend dealing with this Chinese (NOT Australian) company.

This was my first order with this supplier. I ordered a 30 metre long roll of blue string lights which I wanted to place right along the perimeter of my pool fence. In my measurements beforehand, I knew I would need 30m. I do have a different… Read more

well known supplier I normally deal with, but blue lights are a bit harder to get than the regular colours & I couldn’t get it through my regular supplier. A 30m roll is also often harder to get, so when I saw them advertised with Light In The Box, I thought I’d give them a go.

Firstly, I should say that now that I’ve received the lights and they’re placed around my pool fence, they do look quite good. They’re bright & they work well, and one thing I found was that lights that are the furthest away from the charger are much dimmer than those closest to the charger.

However, the order was not without its problems. Delivery was very slow, and I was annoyed with myself for not checking beforehand where they are actually coming from. Their HQ is in Singapore but most shipments come from China.

The biggest problem I had was that when the lights arrived, they looked very different to the photo on the listing advertisement. I expected to see a rounded roll of lights as per the advertisement, but what I got was significantly different. Instead of a rounded type roll, the lights were in fact wound around a small piece of cardboard, and here’s where I encountered my biggest issue. Unrolling them was not easy, in fact they were quite tangled, constantly getting stuck & catching on themselves. It was a long exercise in pure frustration in untangling them and placing them where I wanted. There were several points where I was seriously contemplating giving up & chucking the lot in the bin. But I persisted & I’m glad I did. Overall, now that they’re up & working ok, I’m reasonably happy, but I’ve always said the test of any supplier is whether or not I’d order from them again. Honestly, I’m not sure.

 Follow-up  · Here’s my follow up to several questions asked. Firstly, although I have updated the rating to 4 stars, my reality is that it’s still only worth maybe 3.5 because overall, they’re “ok”, but certainly a long way from any kind of wow factor. In terms of how durable is the wiring in wet conditions, the answer is honestly surprisingly very good. … Read more

deal with my queries, Samira and Fabio are above and beyond fantastic. All the reps. are great but these two stand out. They are polite, friendly, extremely respectful and very very proactive in working towards a mutually beneficial solution. I love the range of products, the quality is mostly very good, the products mostly match the description or pictures, the flash sales have some great products and savings. I recommend LITB to many people, particularly those who compliment the products I have bought from LITB and I get lots of compliments. Ladies actually stop me in the street or wherever(including on a cruise ship recently) and compliment me and ask where did I get the product from, and I always tell them LITB.

I ordered a pair of shorts which were very cheaply made and at least two sizes too small. When I contacted the company about returning the shorts, I was given the runaround: first, they offered to give me a percentage off of the price if I would keep the shorts (why I would want a pair of shorts that don't fit is beyond my comprehension); then,… Read more

when I refused this, gave me this complicated set of directions to return the shorts to China (even though the shorts were mailed from a distribution center in the US), at my cost, with no guarantee that I would receive any money back. Absolute con artists.

If I could give this company zero I would. Disgraceful, non existent customer service!! Buyer beware…THIS IS NOT AN AUSTRALIAN SITE!!!…Its a CHINESE company based in Guangdong.

Edge warns you of the potential for hackers to infiltrate your computer if you do. Pay Pal is all over them, for their cheap non functioning knock offs. Plus it is a really complicated process finding a way to return anything, then they got the hide to offer a 50% credit or 30% refund and sending the item back to a China address, costing $20-$30 in postage, When actually it was shipped from a Sydney warehouse. Buyer beware, no phone no email. Many other Chinese companies are doing the same thing. It was a horrible experience, always check these product reviews first, as I will in future.

communications were prompt and courteous and the matter resolved within a short space of time. Innovative design, great value for money, and well packaged delivery. Only uncertainty is that the globe is a sealed LED (IP65) - but it should last along time. Recommended.

I recently had a problem with my delivery and Fabio from customer service was able to find my order and move the delivery. Then when my parcel arrived I discovered that the shoes I purchased were too small so he offered me a refund of 30%. His service was consistent and he kept me up to date which is very reassuring.

Great quality products for a reasonable outlay. The store has a huge variety of well-executed costumes on just about every theme. There are also an amazing amount of special occasion items; fun and novelty products are also well represented. The search facility makes finding products a breeze and the individual product code allows you to rediscover and share the information easily.
