Shipping, Returns & Refunds

Shipping

All Avela Lamps lighting fixtures are made to order to ensure exceptional craftsmanship and quality. Once your order is placed, our skilled artisans carefully manufacture, inspect, and securely package each fixture before shipment.

  • Production Time: Approximately 12 business days
  • Shipping Time: Typically 15–30 business days, depending on the destination and carrier
  • Free Shipping: Available on all orders within the United States
  • Order Tracking: A tracking number will be sent by email once your order has shipped

Custom-sized, personalized, or specially modified lighting fixtures may require additional production time. We appreciate your patience and are committed to delivering a product that meets our quality standards.

Damaged or Missing Items

We carefully inspect and securely package every lighting fixture before shipment. However, if your order arrives damaged or any items or components are missing, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

To help us resolve the issue as quickly as possible, please provide:

  • Your order number
  • Clear photos of the outer packaging
  • Clear photos of the damaged item, if applicable
  • A description of the damaged or missing components

After reviewing your claim, we may arrange a replacement, send the missing components, or provide another appropriate solution at no additional cost.

Please keep the original packaging until your claim has been reviewed, as it may be required by the shipping carrier.

Returns and Exchanges

Every lighting fixture is carefully handcrafted and made to order. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase and are committed to providing a clear and fair return process.

Exchanges requested for personal reasons are subject to product eligibility and availability. Customers may be responsible for the related return and reshipping costs.

Return Shipping

If the return is caused by a manufacturing defect, shipping damage, or an error made by Avela Lamps, we will cover the approved return shipping costs.

We strongly recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service for all authorized returns. Avela Lamps is not responsible for returned packages that are lost or damaged in transit.

Order Cancellations

Every lighting fixture is handcrafted and made to order after your purchase. Because production may begin shortly after an order is placed, please review your order details carefully before completing checkout.

Cancellation Policy

  • Within 24 hours of placing your order: The order may be cancelled free of charge for a full refund.
  • After 24 hours but before production begins: The order may still be eligible for cancellation. A cancellation fee may apply to cover materials, payment processing, and order preparation costs.
  • Once production has started: The order cannot be cancelled because the fixture is being produced specifically for the order.
  • After shipment: The order cannot be cancelled. Please refer to our Returns and Exchanges policy after delivery.

Order Changes

If you need to change your shipping address, finish, size, cord length, or other order details, please contact us as soon as possible.

We will do our best to accommodate your request before production begins. Once production has started, changes may no longer be possible or may require additional fees and production time.

Refunds

Customer satisfaction is important to us. If a cancellation or return is approved, we will process the applicable refund as quickly as possible.

A refund may be issued under the following circumstances:

  • The order is cancelled in accordance with our Order Cancellation Policy
  • The returned item meets the requirements of our Returns and Exchanges Policy
  • The product arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, or significantly different from the item ordered, and a refund is approved after review
