“The wall light is simple and usable, unfortunately online lighting did not advise at time of placing order 30/11/24 and taking payment that same was out of stock until 15/01/25, and after i sent them numerous emails asking for update or refund I received no reply it was only when I contacted paypal that I received an email next day to say item had been dispatched !!!, sorry but I would not recommend purchasing from this company”

“I would not recommend buying from here in my experience. They do not deliver next day, no facility to cancel, the return method that you have pay for does not work, customer service email does not reply to you to work together to solve and there is no telephone number to speak to someone - one of the worst stressful experiences i have had with a company in a long time as I paid for a produce and a return that neither are any use to me 😡”

“It quickly became clear that recovering my lost money was going to be an uphill battle. I felt stuck, frustrated, and unsure of what to do next. I ended up confiding in a trusted friend and shared the entire ordeal. Their response was immediate—they urged me to report the issue to NOVARECOUP.ORG. I was skeptical but grateful for the advice, so I decided to give it a try. To my absolute surprise, I got my money back within a week. The speed and success of the recovery were far beyond anything I expected.”

“Terrible customer service. First up our item was very late in arriving even though the website talks about how quick items would be despatched. When we chased this up it was then despatched. Then our items arrived and were faulty and we emailed customer service to explain. They initially responded saying they would send replacement lights and we he haven’t heard a word since despite us emailing 4 or 5 times to follow up. Extremely dissappointed and very poor customer service.”

I am very sorry to read that you have not had the experience that you expected with us. I appreciate the time that you’ve taken to write the above. I can see replacements were shipped to you on the 18th February, please do check your junk/spam folder as we may have ended up in there by mistake. Kind regards Customer Care Team

“I have not yet received the lamp because the carrier used by Online Lighting, Fedex, has twice (without prior warning as to the time) attempted delivery when I am not at home. The third attempt will be made today at some unknown time before 6pm, but again I am not at home. Other delivery companies offer alternative options (such as leaving in a safe place or with a neighbour) but not Fedex (or perhaps Online Lighting as precluded this in their instructions to Fedex). Either way ... so far, so unimpressed ....”

“Only giving 1 star as have to give something. Terrible company, firstly light fitting arrived with parts missing they were going to be sent out, ok fine. Electrician had removed our old bathroom light, fitted this new light and the light itself did not work so he had to remove the faulty fitting and replace it with our old light fitting. £40 it cost me for that little exercise! Online lighting company did refund the cost of the light fitting eventually, however Online lighting company will not cover electricians expenses even though it was their faulty fitting that caused the problem. I made the original complaint to them in April, twice I chased them and no response to my request to cover the electrician cost. I got an email from them last week (august) in which they referred to me as she! Who am I the cats mother!!! Very shoddy customer service would not recommend them at all”

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Perhaps you could send identifying details to customerservice@onlinelighting.co.uk as despite our best efforts we cannot locate you on our system. Have you contacted the correct retailer? Kind Regards

“DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SELLER!! I ordered 2 wall spotlights from them. At that time they had an option for the suggested bulbs, But the bulb suitable for the fixture which were necessary for my electrician to install them. A few days later I spoke with an agent who advise me that the bulbs were back in stock and I placed an order over the phone. Once `I received them the electrician did the install. But the bulbs they sent sits way-out above the edge of the spotlights. I contacted them about this and sent photos, but all they were willing to do was to replace the spotlights. This meant that I would have to call out the electrician to remove them and then come back again to install whatever replacement I deiced upon. This would be extremely costly to carry out. I rang again and apprised them of the situation and asked if they would be willing to meet some of the the re-install cost as it was their fault. They told me they would be unwilling to to do anything about it other than to send me 2 new spotlight units. This is the reason I'm giving them 1 star. If it were possible I would give them 0 stars. I recommend to go to another retailer as Online Lighting's customer service is really appalling.”

“I placed an online order on 31st December. After not receiving the goods, I contacted customer services by email to ask if the order had been dispatched. A reply asked for my full name and address and that they would look into it. It's now 11th January and no goods or any further info from customer services - come on, it can't be that hard to check an order.”

“Customer service totally unreasonable and refused request for an exchange for lights which are unopened / touched. I understand the 30 day refund limit had passed but we were only looking for an exchange for lights more suitable, even with this in mind they wouldn't budge their stance .Our electrician was ill which is why we didn't find out sooner they were incorrect. The company would not loose any money but we are now left with over £500 worth of lights we cannot use.”

Thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately the timeframe for returning these items has considerably expired. We believe 30 days is a generous amount of time for customers to decide on suitability. We cannot seem to locate any communication within the said period notifying us of the challenges now being advised. We also note from your initial email of 16th January there was no request to exchange the lights. To be fair to all our customers the terms and conditions of return are the same for all and these are set out on our website for customers to peruse prior to placing an order. The Customer Care Team

“Took my money and no sign of delivery. They could not even be bothered to chase it up when I queried it. I Eventually requested a refund. Apparently, they will ask the courier to send it back to them and then raise a refund. So, the courier can send it back to them but can’t sent it to me? This is suspicious to say the least - or just unprofessional. Either way, don’t touch as cannot be trusted.”

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay. All carriers faced considerable challenges this past Christmas season due to many more businesses using carriers instead of Royal Mail due to their strikes. The delivery network became extremely congested. We accept that delays occurred that were frustratingly out of our control. Every order which left us was monitored by a dedicated team on a daily basis without fail until delivery took place or other resolution was reached with the intended recipient. While we did request your parcel be returned to us it still has not arrived but obviously we refunded you immediately as issues with carriers are our responsibility and not that of our customers.

“I purchased a couple of lights, didn't received them. No one contacts you to say they are not in stock. I emailed to say I need them ASAP or to give me a refund. I got an email to confirm paypal refund... no explanation, no apologies... at least I have the refund but will not recommend this page”
