Return Policy

Here at Local Lighting Shop, we want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase, and get exactly what you want. We know it can be hard to determine if something is the right fit from a few pictures online, that's why we're happy to take returns on most orders. Customers who place orders online are responsible for the accuracy of their product selection and information entered. Below you will find the steps to our returns process.

If you received damaged product, visit our "Damages" Section of this page.

Step 1

You first need to file a return request by emailing us at returns@locallightingshop.com Returns need to be requested via email within 30 days of the item being received. Items cannot be installed or altered in any way, and they must be in their original packaging. After emailing us your request, we will provide you with instructions via email. Under usual circumstances instructions will be sent to you within 24 hours, but some brands may take up to 5 business days to issue the RGA (return authorization) number. After we receive the RGA we will email you the return instructions.

Please Note : We do not provide return labels, customer's are responsible for shipping fees back to the warehouse. Most warehouses are based in the US.

Step 2

After reviewing the instructions provided to you, prepare your products for shipment by making sure the merchandise is in its original packaging with all parts included. Products that have been installed or altered are not eligible for return. Please see list of conditions below for further details.

Step 3

Once your product is ready for shipment, you can ship it back via any trackable method (UPS, FedEx, Purolator, or Canada Post are a few options). Please ensure that the "RGA" number provided with the instructions is on the return label (please do not write on the actual box). Please provide the tracking number of the shipment and original order # to returns@locallightingshop.com
