Refund policy
Last updated: July 6, 2026
We are committed to ensuring that you are completely satisfied with your purchase. If you are not entirely satisfied with your order, please review our return and exchange policy below.
1. Return and Exchange Period
- You may apply for a return or exchange within 30 days of receiving your product.
Â
- All items are sold as single fixtures. If a product name or description mentions multiple numbers (like a "2-Light Wall Sconce", "3-Light Island Pendant", or "6-Arm Chandelier"), this tells you the number of bulbs or light points on that single fixture. It does not mean you are buying a set of multiple separate light fixtures.
- Please read the product details carefully before ordering. If you are unsure what is included, contact our support team before you buy.
Refund Exclusion: We do not offer returns, exchanges, or refunds if you misunderstand a multi-light fixture to be a multi-pack or set.
- To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused in the same condition.
- We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
- To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.Â
To start a return, you can contact us at support@lightsstory.com.
If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
You can always contact us for any return question at support@lightsstory.com.
Damages and issues
Â
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
Exceptions / non-returnable items
Â
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
Exchanges
Â
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
European Union 14 day cooling off period
Â
Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification. As above, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
Refunds
Â
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at support@lightsstory.com.

- Virtual goods and services (such as shipping insurance, expedited shipping fees, etc.) are non-refundable once the items have shipped.
- Undelivered Shipments: If a shipment has not been delivered for more than 90 days, please contact us to review refund eligibility.
3. Circumstances Where Returns/Refunds Are Not Accepted
We strictly do not accept returns, exchanges, or refunds under the following circumstances:

- Signs of Use: Products that have been installed, wired, used, or show obvious signs of use.
- Damaged or Incomplete Items: Any item that is not in its original condition, is damaged, or is missing parts for reasons not due to our error.

- Listing Misunderstandings: Returns based on a misunderstanding of product specifications, quantities, or pricing that were clearly marked on the product page (including the single-unit fixture rule noted above).
4. Damaged, Wrong, or Defective Items
If your item arrives damaged during transit, is incorrect, or has a quality defect, you must file a claim within 48 hours (for transit damage) or 30 days (for technical quality issues) of receipt.
Mandatory Claim Evidence: To process a quality or damage claim, you must provide:
- A clear, unedited video of the unboxing.

- Clear photos of the outer packaging box and the shipping label. Failure to provide this evidence will result in the immediate denial of your claim.
