30 Day Returns & 40 Day Exchanges

If you're unhappy with something you've purchased from us, you can return or exchange it according to the following guidelines:

Refunds are available for returns made within 30 days of your order shipping date. Items must be in resalable condition, with original packaging and boxes, and items must not be installed, altered, incomplete, or damaged. All returns require a Return Authorization Number (RAN), which should be clearly placed as a "c/o" in the address on the return box for easy identification and acceptance.

Exchanges for in-store credit are available within 30 days of your order shipping date without a restocking fee. Exchanges made between 31 and 40 days from your shipping date incur a 20% restocking fee. As with returns, items must be in resalable condition, with original packaging and boxes, and they must not be installed, altered, incomplete, or damaged.

To request a Return Authorization Number (RAN) or Exchange Authorization Number (EAN), email returns@lookintheattic.com. Please note that we do not accept items for return beyond 30 days from the shipping date and do not accept items for exchange beyond 40 days from the shipping date Refunds/credits will be issued once the manufacturer releases the funds, usually within 3-7 days of receiving the item. If the product condition is not acceptable, a higher restocking fee may apply. If the returned items are damaged due to neglect or improper packaging, you may not qualify for a refund/credit..

Damaged Goods

If your item arrived damaged or in error, please contact us immediately at returns@lookintheattic.com so we can remedy the situation. Damaged or incorrect merchandise must be reported within 7 days of the shipping date. This timeframe allows us to promptly address any issues and ensures that the problem originated on our end, rather than occurring after the customer received the product. Items reported after 7 days are no longer eligible for return or replacement. 

Exchanges Within 30 Days of Ship Date (No Restocking Fee*)

If you would like to exchange an item from your order for something else from our online catalog, please request an Exchange Authorization Number by emailing returns@lookintheattic.com within 30 days of order shipment.

In-store credits are issued after all items are returned to us and inspected by our returns department. Once issued, in-store credits and subsequent use of in-store credits cannot be converted to cash back. Exchanged orders over $149 will be eligible for free shipping; however, there may be a small handling fee applied to some orders.

Exceptions

For your convenience, please note the following terms and conditions regarding specific circumstances:

Items that have been installed, altered, or customized (such as engraved or initialed items) are ineligible for return or exchange.

Individual pieces or components of a product (such as screws, nuts, cap screws, bolts) cannot be returned for partial refunds. Full products must be returned.

All lighting products (including chandeliers, sconces, bath lighting, pendants, semi-flush, flush lighting, table lamps, etc.) will incur a 20% restocking fee if they are exchanged, returned, or canceled during the production process.

Prior to initiating an exchange for lighting items, please contact us for specific instructions.

Orders with quantities of four (4) or more identical units of lighting or lighting accessories are not eligible for return.

While we make every effort to display product colors accurately on our website, variations may occur due to individual monitor/device settings. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your monitor/device will accurately reflect the true color of our products. As a result, we do not provide exceptions based on discrepancies in monitor color accuracy.

Cancellations

We strive to accommodate order cancellations with manufacturers before shipping. However, many manufacturers start processing orders promptly, and they may impose a standard restocking fee if cancellation occurs after processing has begun. In cases where processing has commenced, cancellation may not be feasible, and the order will proceed to shipment. Should this occur, you may need to initiate an exchange or return for the order. Please submit all cancellation requests via email to returns@lookintheattic.com.

Trade Advantage Returns & Exchanges

Members of our Trade Advantage Program are subject to the same regulations as our standard customers, with the following two exceptions:

1. The standard return restocking fee is reduced to 15%.
