Returns Policy

Our Returns Policy is really simple

Despite how much we love our lighting products we understand that there may be occasions when a customer might want to return an item or order that they have purchased from Soho Lighting. To help customers in such circumstances we have endeavoured to make our Returns Policy as balanced and straightforward as possible.

A short summary of our returns policy: To receive a full refund on your order, please take note of the following key terms:

  • Please notify us within 28 days (of the date your order was dispatched from our warehouse) of your return, this is done by completing of our Returns Form here.
  • Please print and include the returns label from the returns portal with the items you are returning.
  • Please send us the items you are returning within 7 working days of the date the return is logged on the system.
  • Please ensure the items you are returning have their original packaging and have not been used/fitted or damaged. Failure to do so may invalidate your entitlement to a full or partial refund.
  • We advise customers to ensure their returns package is tracked, particularly for high value orders or items.
  • Returns are generally checked for approval within 7 working days of receipt (may take longer during busy periods). Please note refunds made by Soho Lighting can take up to another 3-5 working days to appear in your account.

It is unusual and we will resolve this as quickly as possible for you. To receive a refund or a replacement, you must return the item in the same condition you received it and within 28 days from the day after we despatch your items.

Bespoke Item Returns Policy

Due to the nature of a bespoke item, unfortunately such products are non-refundable or qualify for an exchange. If the item is cancelled swiftly and the customisation has not been started, we will happily process a full refund. Upon receiving the completed product, if you find the item is damaged or faulty, please contact our customer service team here.

We apologise if, very unusually, you have received an item that is damaged or faulty. We understand how frustrating this can be and want to resolve this as quickly as possible. If you believe that the item is faulty, please enter a returns request on our website,here. Tell us exactly what the fault is when you complete this. You will need to then download the returns packing slip, print and enclose with the items being returned. Your return may not be accepted if the packing slip is not included. Your returned items must be received by us no later than 7 days from the approval of your return request. Our Returns Policy for faulty items upholds your statutory rights.

Detailed Returns Policy and Guidance

When receiving your order, we ask that you check it immediately in case it got damaged in transit.
