Expedited Shipping
Expedited shipping is available for many items. When you select expedited shipping, an estimated shipping charge is computed at product checkout. If we are unable to meet your expedited shipping request or the actual costs of expedited shipping vary from our estimate, we will contact you directly. Please keep in mind that many lighting products are custom made or built to order and have associated lead times. In such cases, expedited shipping will be from the date the product is available to ship. Refer to the product page for standard lead times on each product. Estimated ship dates will be sent to you by email after your order has been processed - usually within 2 business days. Once your product is available, the selected shipping method will be used. When calculating your arrival date, note that shipments and deliveries are on weekdays only.

Returned Goods Process

Please note that before returning any product, you must be issued a Returned Goods Authorization. We must receive your return request within 30 days of receipt of your order. After you've submitted your Returned Goods Authorization request, please allow 3-5 business days to receive your Return Authorization Number.

Once you've received your Return Authorization Number, Lumens will issue and email to you a pre-paid shipping label. Simply print the label, attach it to the box, and drop it off at your local UPS store. You will have 10 days from the date you receive your return shipping label to drop the product off at UPS. If your product is not shipped within 10 days, the labels will expire and no refund will be given. In addition, Lumens will not be responsible for issuing a refund for a product that is returned without a valid Return Authorization Number.

Your return must be in its original packaging, in new condition and suitable for resale. Please note that we do not accept returns of installed product. If your product has been installed, no refund will be given.

Once your product has been received and inspected, you'll receive a refund within 30 days. We deduct a minimum of $15 or the cost of any free shipping that was applied to your original order (whichever is greater), the cost of the return shipping, and we will not credit any expedited shipping charges that were requested on the original order.

When returning any item, please be sure to pack the product properly. We cannot provide a refund for any product received in our warehouse in damaged condition. In such a case, we will file a claim with the shipping company. In the event that the claim is denied due to poor packaging, we will not provide a refund. We will hold your product for 30 days, after which the product will be destroyed.

Damaged Goods
Any product that is received damaged must be reported within 48 hours of receipt. Lumens will not accept responsibility for any damages not reported within this timeframe. Upon receiving notification that your product is damaged, Lumens will file a claim with the shipper. Claims typically take 8-10 business days to process. Please do not discard the damaged product until you receive instruction from Lumens. After the claims process has been completed, Lumens will send a replacement fixture at no cost to you. Failure to follow this procedure may result in a charge for the free replacement item.

Products received with broken glass or dented shades are not considered defective. In such a case, we will provide replacement glass or shades at no additional charge. Should you wish to return a product that was received with broken glass or a dented shade, the standard return policy above will apply.

Defective Goods
Any product defects must be reported within 30 days of you receiving your order. After 30 days, Lumens will make every attempt to repair and/or replace your product. If you find your product to be defective, please contact Customer Service to coordinate repair and/or replacement. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive a Repair/Return Authorization. Lumens will be responsible for return shipping and the shipping of the replacement product and will send you return instructions accordingly. Please do not discard the defective product until you receive instructions from Lumens. Failure to return the defective product may result in a charge for the free replacement item. In addition, returned items that are found to be in working condition may not be eligible for a refund or may be subject to a restocking fee.

Cancelled Orders
You may cancel an order that has not been shipped unless it is a special order or customized product. Any cancellation fees imposed by the manufacturer will be your responsibility and will be deducted from any refund. Cancellation requests may take several days for processing and you will be sent an email upon confirmation. If an order ships prior to confirmation, you will be asked to submit a Return Authorization Request once you receive the item and a refund will be issued following the Returned Goods Process outlined above.
