Replacement Policy
We inspect every fixture carefully before it leaves our warehouse. If something still arrives damaged, defective, or wrong, we'll make it right with a replacement — that's the core of how we handle post-delivery issues.
Please note: LightingStore.in operates a replacement-only policy. We do not offer returns for a refund or "change of mind" cancellations after delivery — only replacement of items that are damaged, defective, or incorrect.
1. Our Policy, In Short
- Damaged, defective, or wrong item delivered → we replace it at no extra cost.
- Changed your mind, ordered the wrong finish yourself, or no longer want the item → not eligible; please review specifications and images carefully before ordering, or message us on WhatsApp with questions before you buy.
- No cash refunds are issued under this policy, except where a like-for-like replacement is genuinely not possible (see Section 5).
2. Replacement Eligibility
You may request a replacement within [7 days] of delivery if:
- The item arrived physically damaged (in transit, packaging, or otherwise).
- The item is defective — doesn't power on, has a manufacturing fault, or a component is missing/broken.
- You received a different product, colour, or finish than what you ordered.
To process a replacement, the item must be unused, uninstalled, and returned in its original packaging with all accessories, unless the fault makes this impossible (e.g. arrived pre-broken).
Unboxing video required: A continuous, unedited video of you opening the package — from the sealed box through to the unwrapped product — is required to support any replacement claim for damage, defects, or missing parts. Please start recording before opening the box and keep the video ready to share along with your order number and photos. Requests without an unboxing video may not be processed.
3. Not Eligible for Replacement
- Change of mind, or the item simply not suiting your space once seen in person.
- Products that have been installed, wired in, or used, where the reported issue isn't a manufacturing defect.
- Made-to-order or custom-configured fixtures (e.g. bespoke chandeliers, custom track lengths), unless defective on arrival.
- Clearance / final-sale items, clearly marked as such at checkout.
- Requests raised after the [7-day] window from delivery.
Because we can't accept an electrical fixture back once it's been wired in, please inspect your item and confirm the colour/finish carefully before installation — that's the point at which a replacement is easiest to arrange.
4. How to Raise a Replacement Request
- Message us on WhatsApp or email within [7 days] of delivery with your order number, clear photos/video showing the damage, defect, or mismatch, and your unboxing video (see Section 2).
- Our team will review and confirm eligibility, usually within [1–2 business days].
- Once approved, we'll arrange a reverse pickup (where serviceable) or share drop-off instructions for the faulty item.
- The replacement unit is dispatched once the original is received back — or, for clearly defective items, we may dispatch the replacement first at our discretion.
5. What Happens Next
- If the exact same product/variant is in stock, we ship a replacement at no extra cost, including reverse pickup and re-delivery.
- If the product/variant is out of stock, we'll offer the closest available alternative, or — only in this specific case — a refund to your original payment method.
- Refunds, where applicable under the above, are processed within [7–10 business days] to your original payment method (or via UPI/bank transfer for Cash on Delivery orders).
6. Order Cancellation
- Orders can be cancelled free of charge before they are shipped — contact us as soon as possible after placing your order.
- Once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled; if it arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, follow the replacement process above.
- Made-to-order / custom items may not be cancellable once production has begun — this will be flagged at checkout.
7. Manufacturer Warranty Claims
Many of our products (Havells, Fanzart, EcoLink, and others) carry a manufacturer warranty that extends well beyond our [7-day] replacement window. For issues arising after that window, we'll help coordinate a warranty claim directly with the brand — reach out with your order number and the issue, and we'll guide you through the process.
8. Contact Us
For any replacement request, reach us at info.bothrakota@gmail.com or +91 93526 00492 — please have your order number and photos ready.
