Frequently Asked Questions

Returns & Exchanges

Can I return my order if it isn't the right fit for my space?

All products are final sale and non-refundable from the time of purchase. Due to the handmade and fragile nature of our fixtures, we are unable to accept returns once an order has been placed. We recommend taking the time to ensure the piece, size, and finish are right for you before ordering.

Do you offer exchanges?

We do not offer exchanges. Every Huey fixture is handcrafted and may feature subtle variations in colour, shape, and finish. These natural differences are part of the character of each piece and make every fixture unique. Due to the delicate nature of our products, fixtures cannot be returned once they have been delivered.

Can I cancel my order after it has been placed?

Orders may be cancelled within 10 business days of purchase. After this period, your order will have entered production and can no longer be cancelled. As all fixtures are made to order, we are unable to accommodate cancellations once production has begun.

Why is my order taking longer than expected?

Due to the handmade, made-to-order nature of our products, potential manufacturing/supply procurement delays may occur. Furthermore, due to the live nature of our materials such as ceramic, there are multiple points of potential failure in the production of a piece, some of which may require a full restart in production as we strive to meet our standards of quality. Our listed lead times are the best approximation we can offer. However, these lead times may extend due to unforeseen circumstances. We will do our best to notify you if your order has been delayed past the listed lead time. If your order has not exceeded your listed lead time, please be patient as we handcraft your piece(s) for you. 

What should I do if my order arrives damaged?

Upon receiving your order, please inspect it thoroughly and test your fixture to ensure proper functioning. If products are received and stored for future installation, the customer remains responsible for inspecting all items within 48 hours of delivery. Failure to inspect products within that period may limit our ability to evaluate or approve claims for damage discovered at a later date. If any damage or manufacturing defect is present, please ensure to contact us at studio@hueylightshop.com for further assistance within 48 hours of delivery. All packaging materials must be kept intact until you have inspected your order, as images may be required in the support process. Past the 48-hour window, you are no longer eligible for support in regards to your claim. If the solution involves an exchange, the packaging material will be required for the return. Replacement fixture(s), if needed, will be subject to a replacement lead time. Damaged orders are not eligible for return.

Am I eligible for a replacement fixture or replacement parts?

In the rare circumstance, your order arrives damaged or defective, and this is reported within 48 hours of receipt, you may be eligible for a replacement (either in the form of a replacement part or a replacement fixture). The appropriate solution will be investigated and determined by our staff and are non-negotiable once decided. If we are replacing the fixture in its entirety, we may ask that the damaged fixture in question is returned to us and we will assist in coordinating this process. All original packaging must be used when shipping back fixtures. If your fixture arrives back to us significantly damaged due to improper packaging, you will no longer be eligible for a replacement/exchange.

SHIPPING & LEAD TIMES

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

Shipping timelines are determined by the shipping method selected at checkout. Please note that shipping time only begins once your order has been completed and our advertised lead time has been met. Selecting expedited shipping or requesting a signature upon delivery does not shorten production lead times. While we do our best to ensure a smooth delivery process, shipping carriers may experience delays that are beyond our control, and we cannot be held responsible for transit-related delays once an order has shipped.

What is your current production lead time?

Our lead times are listed on the checkout page, when agreeing to our terms and conditions. They reflect our best estimate at the time of purchase. As every fixture is handcrafted and made-to-order, lead times may fluctuate due to production schedules, material availability, and other unforeseen circumstances. Should your order exceed the advertised lead time, we will do our best to keep you informed. Extended lead times do not qualify for compensation or order cancellation beyond our standard 10-business-day cancellation window. 

Are your fixtures certified? 

All of our fixtures are certified by UL of North America. We can also provide component-based certifications for international orders if required. 

Are your fixtures damp-rated? 

Yes, all of our mounted fixtures are damp-rated. 

How do I know if my junction box is compatible with your fixtures? 

All of our hardwired fixtures are intended to fit and cover a standard circular 4” junction box. 

Can I change my shipping details once my order has shipped?

Unfortunately, once an order has entered transit, we are unable to modify the shipping address, reroute the package, or further expedite delivery. We kindly ask that all shipping information be reviewed carefully before placing your order.

Will I be responsible for duties, taxes, or additional shipping fees?

Depending on your location, your order may be subject to duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by local authorities or shipping providers. These fees are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in the purchase price unless otherwise stated. If a shipment is refused due to unpaid duties or fees and is returned to us, the customer will be responsible for the full cost of reshipping the order.

Can I request a rush order?

Rush orders may be available on a case-by-case basis. If you require your fixture sooner than our advertised lead time, please contact us at studio@hueylightshop.com prior to placing your order. We will review the request and will choose to commit or decline at our discretion. Rush requests are subject to an additional fee based on the scope of the order and the requested timeline. While we do our best to accommodate urgent requests, please note rush orders are not guaranteed. 

GENERAL

Do you accept custom lighting commissions?

At this time, we do not have the production capacity to take on fully custom orders. While we appreciate your interest in creating something unique with us, our team is currently focused on producing and fulfilling our existing collections.

Can I customize the colour, finish, size, or drop height of an existing fixture? 

Customization requests may be accepted on case-by-case basis. Please reach out to us at studio@hueylightshop.com before placing your order to discuss. Custom orders are subject to a customization fee based on the scope of the customization. For a colour/finish customization, please ensure to choose a colour/finish that we already offer in our collections. For custom drop heights, please ensure you have measured your space accordingly before providing us with your requested drop height. Unfortunately, we cannot customize the size of our fixtures due to our production process. 

Do you offer trade pricing for designers and industry professionals?

Yes. We offer a Trade Program for qualified interior designers, architects, builders, stylists, and other industry professionals. To apply, please visit our Trade Program page and complete the application form. Once approved, you will receive a personalized trade discount code that can be applied at checkout.

Do your fixtures include lightbulbs?

All of our fixtures include an initial light bulb(s) for North American orders. International orders do not include light bulbs. Product descriptions will indicate the bulb type required for each fixture. We recommend reviewing these details carefully before placing your order. 

Do your fixtures require professional installation?

We strongly recommend that all fixtures be installed by a licensed electrician. At this time, we do not provide installation instructions or installation support. Huey is not responsible for any damage, modifications, or costs incurred during the installation process and cannot provide compensation for adjustments required to accommodate a fixture.

How do your ceramic shades cast light?

Our ceramic shades are fully opaque and do not allow light to pass through the material itself. Through combinations of reflective glazes and matte ceramic finishes across different designs, this construction helps direct and reflect light downward, upwards, and to the sides depending on the openings in designs, creating a warm and focused glow. For additional photos of our fixtures illuminated in real spaces, we recommend visiting our Instagram community at @hueylightshop.
