Shipping & Returns
Shipping, Packaging, and Labor Cost.
SHIPPING:
Most orders will be shipped by UPS, Fed EX Ground Service, or Freight Carrier at a rate to be determined after an order has been packed and weighed. Clients will be notified of the exact shipping quote at the time that their order is packed and weighed.
Freight service deliveries are curbside and include lift gate service.
Shipping cost is determined by a third-party freight company after the order has been packed and weighed. Shipping charges and balances on the order must be paid in full before delivery can be scheduled.
Ashore Lighting is not responsible for delays caused by either the Freight Company selected, UPS, or FedEx. Shipping and freight companies are completely independent of Ashore Lighting which means that we have no control over freight or shipping company schedules.
The customer is responsible for the inspection of all merchandise upon arrival. The customer must notify Ashore Lighting and their freight/shipping company within 24 hours after receiving the order if any damage has occurred to the order. Failure to notify Ashore Lighting and freight/shipping company and waiting for a period of time to inspect order until it's time for installation will cause claim to be rejected.
If you receive broken glass panels, we will replace them if notified and sent pictures of damage within 2 business days. Ashore Lighting is not responsible for broken glass panels, missing candle covers, or other damage not reported within the first 48 hours the order is received. No exceptions.
Shipping damages must be claimed with the shipper.
PACKING:
Since most of our products are as fragile as they are heavy, they require special packaging. Each fixture is packed by hand using the best material available to protect our designs.
Cost of packing materials and labor is separate from the shipping cost quoted by the freight companies and it will be quoted when the order is placed.
PACKING COST:
We at Ashore Lighting strive to keep the cost as low as possible without sacrificing the quality and care your designs require at the time of packing for shipping.
The following are individual examples of costs for packing our designs. This cost is separate from what the shipping or freight company will charge for transporting your order. They only transport—not pack.
Since orders that includes multiple pieces will be shipped with various designs together, the costs are lower than individual product costs and would be quoted at the each respective order is placed. This quote can only be provided after establishing the designs that will be included in that particular order.
