Buyer's Guide

A chandelier is a large, delicate thing that often travels a long way to reach you. Here’s exactly how our optional Shipping Protection works — in plain English — what it costs, and how to skip it if you’d rather.

Crystal chandelier

Hand-finished crystal, glass and natural stone — beautiful, and worth protecting on the road.

The one part of the journey we don’t fully control

Every fixture leaves our hands packed to survive the trip — crystal and glass cushioned and separated, then double-boxed. The vast majority arrive flawless. But once a carrier takes over, a package is stacked, loaded, and handed off many times before it reaches your door.

Shipping Protection is our safeguard for the rare case when something goes wrong in transit — so if it does, you’re made whole quickly, without a back-and-forth.

What it covers

📦
Damaged in transit
Arrives cracked, chipped, or broken? You’re covered.
🧭
Lost in transit
Never shows up — not marked delivered within 30 days (U.S.) or 60 (international)? Covered.
Badly delayed
Stuck in transit well past its estimate? Covered.

In any of these cases, you receive a quick refund — or a replacement — up to your order value.

What it costs

~2.5%
Shipping Protection is a small fee based on your order’s value — about 2.5% — and the exact amount is always shown in your cart before you pay. On a $4,200 chandelier, for example, it comes to roughly $105. Nothing to calculate on your end — you see the price up front, and you decide.

How a claim works

1
Tell us
Use the claims link in your Shipping Protection confirmation email, or just contact us — ideally as soon as you notice.
2
Show us
Send a couple of photos of the damage and the packaging. For a lost or delayed parcel, we help pull the carrier’s tracking record.
3
We make it right
Your refund is issued, or a replacement ships out. Most claims are resolved quickly — no finger-pointing.

What it doesn’t cover

We’d rather be upfront now than have you find out at claim time. Shipping Protection does not cover:

A wrong or incomplete shipping address entered at checkout.
“It’s not what I pictured,” or a change of mind — that’s covered by our standard returns, not shipping protection.
Packages that are refused, or left unclaimed at the carrier.

Prefer not to add it?

It’s entirely your call — Shipping Protection is optional. If you’d rather skip it, just choose Checkout without shipping protection in your cart, and you’ll go straight to checkout with no protection fee. You can always add it on a future order.

Is it worth it?

For a large, fragile, high-value fixture traveling a long way, most of our customers keep it for the peace of mind — a small percentage now for a fast, no-argument fix if the carrier drops the ball. But it’s your choice, every time. Either way, we pack every order to survive the trip, and we stand behind what we ship.
