All shipments must be inspected for damages or defects at the freight forwarder’s U.S. location and any claims for damaged or defective items must be submitted to us within 48 hours of delivery to the freight forwarder’s U.S. location. In the event of a damage or defect claim, the product and packaging must be held at the freight forwarder’s U.S. location for inspection and/or pickup. Requests for return for any other reason must be made within 30 days of delivery to the freight forwarder’s U.S. location and return shipping labels will only be issued for that U.S. location.

Shades of Light is not responsible for replacing products once they have been shipped from the initial U.S. destination or if the stated timeframe has passed.

When ordering lighting for international locations, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure electrical compatibility with the destination country.
