Delivery

Orders could take 2 to 4 weeks for delivery depending on availability. Occasionally production schedules change and a product will be temporarily out of stock. This can cause delays. Backorders from manufacturers are beyond our control. Please contact us at sales@illuminationsbydesign.net if your order has not been received in the time expected. We will contact you by e-mail with any backorder information we receive.

Orders for larger items will be subject to additional freight charges. Illuminations By Design will notify you of any additional costs before a product is shipped.

Shipping charges incurred due to incorrect address, zip code, or the refusal of an item will be charged back to the customer. We cannot ship to PO Box locations.

Seller is not to be accountable for delays in delivery. Factory shipment or delivery dates are the best estimates of our suppliers. In no case shall seller be liable for any consequential or special damages arising from any delay in delivery.

Accepting Shipments

Before accepting a delivery, you are required to inspect each and every box for damaged or missing items. By accepting delivery of a shipment, you acknowledge that the item(s) were received in 100% usable condition and that you have received every item listed on the packing slip. If you are not required to sign for a shipment and you received damaged goods, please contact Customer Service immediately to report the damage.

Shipping Damage

If the packaging appears to be damaged on the outside, please refuse to accept it from the carrier; or please make sure when signing the shipper's proof of delivery slip you include a note stating the package appears to be damaged. If you do accept a damaged shipment, please inform us and the carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.,) immediately. Depending on the product and where/how it was shipped, it may be necessary for you to deal with the carrier yourself. 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.

Refused Deliveries 

If the product is refused upon delivery, the standard return policy will not apply. The customer will be responsible for the manufacturer's restocking fee which may be up to 50% of the purchase price of the item; as well as both initial and return freight charges.

If you discover damaged products upon opening a shipment and decide not to accept delivery, please contact Customer Service immediately to take appropriate action to resolve the matter. A claim will be filed with the carrier to credit your account for the damaged fixture, which we will replace at no cost. If the damaged product is repairable with replacement parts, these parts will be shipped at no cost. Illuminations By Design will not be responsible for expedited shipping of any replacement parts or products. If the replacement product is back-ordered extensively, we will retrieve the damaged product or instruct you to discard it and issue a credit for the item.

Returns

Refunds will only be issued under the following conditions:

1. We accept returnable products within 14 days of receipt of the product if they are in the original packaging (including all packaging materials and accessories).
2. The items must be suitable for resale. The customer will be refunded (less the shipping costs included in the initial order and up to a 50% restocking fee) once we have received the returned item and inspected the item for damage. Items returned will be issued a refund via the same method in which the item was purchased.
3. Merchandise that has been installed, altered or damaged in any way does not qualify for return or refund.
4. To return a product, DO NOT SHIP the product back without contacting us first to request a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) Number. Products without a valid RGA number will be refused from the shipper. A Return Goods Authorization may be requested by contacting us at sales@illuminationsbydesign.net . Once we issue an RGA, we must receive the product within 10 days or no refunds will be given.
