- Damaged Shipments (Fragile Items)
Lighting products can be fragile. We take extreme care when bubble wrapping and boxing your fixtures.
- Inspection on Arrival: Please inspect the exterior box before signing the courier’s waybill. If the box is visibly crushed or torn, note “Damaged Box” next to your signature.
The 48-Hour Rule: Unpack and check your items immediately. If glass components, shades, or frames are broken, you must report it to Security and Solar Depot within 48 hours of delivery so we can lodge a claim with the courier and send you a replacement.
