How do I package the product for return or exchange?

Packaging instructions 
  • The item you wish to return must be unused and in the condition you received it in. Please ensure that all the parts and the original product packaging and manual are included in the return shipment. 
  • Please pack the item in its original box and do not write or attach anything on the product packaging.
  • If you use the original packaging material, please remove old shipping labels, stickers and other notes. Also, use clear tape or a clear plastic sleeve. 
Please note the following when packing the item for shipping:

Fragile items
  • Use extra cushion material for fragile items.
  • If possible, label the shipping box as “fragile”. 
Packaging
  • In addition to the product package, pack the item in a shipping box.
  • Use a high-quality cardboard box.
  • The item should not touch the box’s walls: leave enough room around it.
  • Place the extra packaging material between the product packaging and the shipping box to create a cushion layer.
  • The corners and sides of the box may need additional reinforcement. 
Sealing 
  • Use good clear tape. Brown or other coloured tape may damage the packaging.
  • Close the box and seal all seams.

How do I return or exchange a product?

To be eligible for a return or exchange, products must remain unused and be kept in their original packaging, and returned to our lighting store in Singapore at your own cost.

Light Makers offer customers an exchange grace period of 30 days with conditions to adhere to, and refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. You are responsible for the return shipping cost of any product you return. Any expedited shipping charges you paid on the original order are non-refundable.

If you have any questions about the return process, please contact our Customer Service

When do I get my refund once I have returned an item?

Once we have received and inspected the item we are usually able to apply the refund onto the original payment card within one week. Keep in mind that due to shipping, inspection and bank processing times it sometimes takes up to 30 days from the date that you return the item for the refund to appear on your card. 

How would I receive my refund?

The price of returned products is always reimbursed according to the payment method used for the order. If the returned product has been used, damaged or is otherwise unsuitable for resale, Light Makers has the right to charge a fee for loss of value up to the full price of the product or reject the refund.

We make a refund decision after receiving the product. We do not accept returned products if:
  • After receiving the product, we detect defects in it or its packaging.
  • Animal fur, hair or stains on the returned product will automatically result in a decision not to accept the product return.

    If faults are detected in the condition of the product, our Customer Service will contact you.
