FAQ's

ORDERING YOUR LIGHTS

You are just a few simple clicks away from placing your order on line. After you have filled your shopping basket, proceed to checkout by following the simple registration and payment instructions. We will guide you through the checkout process with easy to follow instructions. We use “Shopify” as our payment gateway, the UK’s leading online shopping platform. Your transaction is 100% secure, hosted on SSL certified pages, giving you peace of mind.

We understand this and we would love to talk to you! You can call our free phone number 0800-043-5014, from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday. If you are calling from outside the UK, please call us on our landline +44 (0) 29 2070 7334. If you call on weekends, out of hours or National Bank Holidays, you will be put through to our call centre, who will take a message for you. We always pick up our messages and return these as soon as possible during working hours.

You are welcome to fax over your order details. Our fax number is 029 2070 7334 (Outside the UK +44 29 2070 7334). Please also use this number if you have a product enquiry or quotation request you wish to fax over to us.

Typically the lead time from you placing your order to receiving your lights is 5 working days to 10 working days. In the case of Murano chandeliers, large orders, off catalogue, and custom work the lead time is a little longer, typically between 3 and 6 weeks. This is because as well as being individually hand crafted lights, the glass studios are more often than not small companies that are only able to produce a certain amount of product each week. Nevertheless, when needed we can often speed up production. All we ask is you email us, or call us, and we will see by how much we can speed up your order by checking our warehouse or German distribution centre. Once goods are ready, we can ship to you on a special 2 day service- Normally goods take 4 days to ship from Italy to the UK on our standard road service, but a special 2 day import service is available with TNT at an extra cost.

We accept all major credit and debit cards. You order can be transacted on-line using Visa, MasterCard or American Express . You can also request pay by bank transfer, in any of the following currencies UK£, Euros or US$ . If you are a UK resident may also pay us by cheque.

There is no minimum order requirement from Mallory Custom Lighting.

Upon request we are able to send out samples of Murano glass for customers who are interested in purchasing a Murano / Venetian chandelier from us. Over the years we have found this to be a much appreciated service, and of great help to our customers when they are undecided or perhaps not too sure about a colour choice. We can also send out fabric shade samples, lead crystal octagons and pendalogues.

FAQ’S

We do not have a single catalogue that shows all of our products. This would be impractical to print as we represent such a large number of Italian lighting manufacturers. However, we are able to send you relevant catalogues of particular manufacturers if we have them in stock. Please contact us if there is a particular style or specific manufacturer you are seeking. We can also post or email high resolution images of any models you may be interested in.

We are very happy to offer you trade terms as a trade customer/account. You must be a bona-fide trade customer to qualify for discounts. In the UK, we will need to see your VAT registration number or a business letterhead, or failing this some other proof that you are an active and established business. American customers with reseller numbers, or registered companies will also qualify for trade terms. Please contact us with your requirements, and we will help you, via phone email or fax.

You can then either email us at sales@italian-lighting-centre.co.uk and we will give you a delivery update, or you can call us.

Your lights are delivered by FedEx DHL or UPS. In the case of large consignments we place the goods on a pallet and use an overland lorry service.

As soon as you have placed your order online you will receive an immediate confirmation. For orders that are placed over the telephone or by fax you will receive a confirmation the same working day as soon as our team processes your order. We will also post you a printed invoice.

Please check your order confirmation immediately upon receipt to verify the details of your order are correct and what you wanted. You are welcome to change or amend your order, call us on +44 (0) 29 2070 7037 as soon as possible with changes so we can process your request

We will process your cancellation and refund your credit card or debit card, or if you have paid by bank transfer or cheque, we will issue a refund cheque.

SHIPPING

As soon as the lights are ready at our warehouse in Italy they are shipped to you on a 4 day Italy/UK service. We will email you to notify you of the dispatch day and estimated arrival day. You can also email us to find out when the order is ready for shipping, and we should be able to give you a pretty firm idea of the shipping date.

We are currently unable to ship to a post office box. The only exception is some Middle Eastern states where P.O. boxes are recognized by FedEx.

All our goods are specially packed to cope with the rigours of international shipping. Some models, and all Murano chandeliers, will be supplied disassembled, with parts packed in vacuum or other protective packaging to minimize the risk of damage in transit. In the unlikely event of any parts arriving damaged, we will send out replacements.

We frequently ship to international customers, and welcome your business. Please email us with your delivery address, and the items you are interested in purchasing, and we will send you a quotation including shipping door to door, and purchasing instructions. International Customs Charges:

In some countries, outside of the EU, purchases may be subject to local duties and taxes. Mallory Custom Lighting is not responsible for the collection or payment of these duties, and if applied they remain the responsibility of the purchaser.

Shipping to a UK mainland address and mainland Europe is charged at a flat rate of £00.00 (Zero) per order. For deliveries outside the UK mainland (Channel Islands and outer Islands) a supplement may be charged. Shipping costs for the rest of the world are charged according to weight/volume. Please contact us for a price.

We work with FED EX, DHL, UPS and TNT. The standard Italian import service is 4 days. We are able to offer a special 2 day import service, which is subject to a surcharge.

Sometimes orders are made up of products from different suppliers. In this instance we may ship the order separately. However, only one shipping charge will be made.

If FedEx/UPS or any of our other carriers are unable to deliver your order due to an incorrect address, the order will be returned to us. At this stage you will be responsible for any reshipping fees charged to redeliver the package. In the case of absence on delivery day:- We will attempt delivery 3 times, and will notify you of such action. After this period the order is returned to us until you are able to take delivery. A redelivery fee will be charged in this instance.

Please inspect your goods as soon as you have received them, or at least within 7 days of purchase. If any of the items have been damaged, contact us, and we will replace these items for you. If you are able to take a photograph we would appreciate this. In some instances we may collect the damaged item on behalf of our insurance company.

RETURNS EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS

If, for up to 30 days a fitting does not meet with your total 100% satisfaction for any reason, you are welcome to return it. It must be complete, and unlike with many other shops, Mallory Custom Lighting has no irritating re-stocking fees. Currently our policy is to also pay for the cost of the return. You must notify us in writing or by phone of your wish to return your purchase within 30 days of receiving it. This is because we have a limited time frame in which to seek recourse with our suppliers for faulty/incorrect goods, and with the carriers for any damage in transit. This returns policy applies to all the chandeliers and fittings you see online, and does not apply to custom projects, special orders and off-catalogue items which are not returnable under any circumstances, unless faulty. In addition trade accounts are subject to a separate trade terms & returns policy. This is sent to you with your first trade order, and is available upon request.

The written or verbal consent of Mallory Custom Lighting must be obtained before cancellation of any order becomes operative. Under no circumstances may goods be returned without first notifying the Company.

Before returning goods, we welcome any feedback you can give for the reasons for your return, as the feedback is important in helping us improve our service. The returned goods should be carefully packed in their original packaging where possible, to minimize the risk of damage in transit.

After we receive your package and inspect the items, you will receive an email confirming refund total. Refunds will be issued in 3 to 5 business days. Please allow adequate time for your banking institution to process the credit.

Due to the nature of customized lighting (i.e. it cannot be resold) we are unable to offer refunds on this type of fitting.

For standard online catalogue items purchased online, there is no re-stocking fee.

You are welcome to exchange your lights for others if you change your mind. Please contact us via email or telephone.
