**I kind of wonder if this will get taken down by that site if i post it...**
Well, the website is called Lightinthebox.com and basically it's a scam.
A couple of days ago, I was looking for a long, formal dress to wear to my dance. Mom found a site called, Light in the Box, and it seemed really awesome. They had thousands of dresses in all kinds of colors and styles; plus everything could be customized. Also, they were having a discount, so the dresses were pretty cheap.
I was having a ball going through and looking at all the sweet styles and such. I was totally thinking that I was going to buy from this site.
Anyways, I had done all my browsing on Mom's computer, but nothing on mine. So just a couple of minutes ago, I typed in "light in the box" but as I was about to click the site under the URL box, I saw the tag "Light in the Box Scam".
RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RED FLAAAAAG!
There was article after article about how this site:
-does these bad bundled packaging (making it look like you're saving money, but you're not)
-hidden add-on fees
-lying with their ads
-sends fake/broken electronics
-amauter dressing measurements (the right way to get perfect measurements is to take that measurement and go just a smidge higher so that there is give to get the dress to zip up; you don't exactly the size!)
-prolonged refunds (or none at all)
-and etc, etc, etc!
You can't even post a bad review because they'll just take it down!
Please guys, don't buy from this place, and if you do STOP NOW! They are eating a hole right out of your wallet.
