We deal with dozens of emails on a daily basis thus by the time yours was read the warehouse had already processed the order and we could not reverse the status. An urgent instruction would have been better advised via phone immediately, rather than by email. Orders are picked, packed and dispatched just as quickly as possible to meet our delivery commitments to our customers. I am sure you would not appreciate placing an order and us having a relaxed attitude to dispatch. The Customer Care Team

I am sorry you were unhappy with your experience shopping with us. These are challenging times and unfortunately unexpected delays are occurring. We have a process of notifying our customers via email regularly on the status of their order so i am puzzled as to why you would not have received these. Thank you for providing feedback.

“I paid for 1 - 2 day delivery and when the light didn’t arrive tried to get a refund. Customer services said they would refund then no money showed up / they didn’t reply to emails & calls go straight to voicemail. I’m still trying to resolve this!”

Thank you for getting in touch. As advised on the product page for the items you chose these were not in stock at the time of your order thus could not be sent out on a one to two day delivery service. You were refunded on 23rd June almost immediately we received your request. Please check with your bank as these funds left us seven days ago. Kind Regards Patricia Customer Care Manager

“Wrong items delivered, delivery process poor. Received the wrong items. Delivery of £20 of tubes was delayed as signature needed. For low value items where there is good security parcel could have been left out of sight and card noting location.”

I am sorry you were disappointed. Delivery instruction can be provided at the time of the order which we are happy to pass to the carriers. Unfortunately some carriers will not just leave parcels without permission. Thank you for getting in touch. The Customer Care Team

“I haven't received the item that I ordered 13 days ago as yet. One of the items is not in stock until August so I asked for it to be cancelled. I received no reply. I asked for an order update. Again no reply. Then I received an email from Hermes saying that the parcel was due to be received by them. Finally I received an invoice yesterday charging me for the item I asked to be cancelled. Not impressed so far and I haven't even received the item yet!”

Apologies, there is a point in the process where is it too late to try and locate a parcel among hundreds of similarly packaged orders. I am very sorry if you have been inconvenienced. The Customer Care Team

“Ordered two pendant ceiling lights. Lighting Direct suggested we needed specific bulbs so we purchased them a high cost. When the lights finally arrived 6 weeks late the bulbs did not even fit. Tried to return them but received no response to phone calls or emails to customer services. So we now have 10 bulbs at a cost of over £35.00 that are useless even though their supposed experts recommended them. Do not trust their recommended add-ons because custoemr servies will totally ignore you and will not replace them if incorrect.”

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am sorry to hear you have a problem with the bulbs you purchased. Customers can initiate a very speedy return of any item simply by clicking the link on the website without the need to contact the customer service team. Parcels can be dropped off at a convenient point or collected directly from customers own premises if that is easier. As you seem to have overlooked this information we will contact you directly with the easy to follow process. Kind Regards Patricia Customer Care Manager

“Ordered two lamps and 2 bulbs. The lamps have arrived and are beautiful but do not work. Have tried multiples bulbs in them and in different plug sockets but still nothing. Not impressed so far, am waiting for a reply from customer service.”

“Ordered in December 2020. Took payment of lights with expected delivery within a few days. They have no phone number to call and so written an email to be told the goods will arrive early feb. Tried emailing 3 times now to which I received no response and their website is indicating April delivery. Beware this company appears to be scammers and shame on channel 4 to allow their logo to be referenced in their website. If I continue to not get a response I guess I have no other choice but to report them as fraud.”

Thank you for getting in touch. I think there has been a misunderstanding. As advised clearly on our website the lights you chose were not in stock at the time of your transaction. We have responded to each email advising the April delivery. Later than we would have hoped but unfortunately out of our hands due to prevailing circumstances. The Customer Service Team

I am sorry you had to wait for your order. Unfortunately it took longer than expected to get these linkable fittings into stock hence the update emails to give customers the opportunity to cancel their orders if the delay is unacceptable.

Thank you for getting in touch. Not sure where we have gone wrong here. Your order left us on the 8th Feb and was delivered less than 48 hours later at 16:23 on the 10th Feb and that was with our standard delivery service. The Customer Services Team

“I ordered beautiful lights and when they turned up the glass was all broken. I am returning them and hopefully will have better luck on my replacements. I feel they should be packaged better. I have received glass pendants from a separate retailer and these were fine.”

“Well, I ordered and payed for 3 pendant lights. I had to call & email about delivery. I eventually received 1 light & I am still waiting for the other 2. I was told a while ago that I should have them on 18 Jan. Once again I had to contact to ask where they were. I was told that they had been dispatched. & I would hear from the carriers. It is now The evening of 20 Jan & still not heard or received any lights. I think that I should at least be offered a discount on this order. I have had to constantly chase up this order, not impressed at all”

We are sorry you are disappointed. Unfortunately unexpected delays have occurred due to issues surrounding both Covid and new imports processes due to Brexit. You can be assured we are doing all we can to get orders to customer in a timely manner despite the circumstances. Update emails are sent on a regular basis in order to keep our customers informed.
