Return & Refund Policy
Last Updated: October 5, 2026
At Bulb-World, we want our customers to have a positive shopping experience. This Return & Refund Policy explains the conditions and procedures for returns, exchanges, and refunds for products purchased through our website.
By placing an order with Bulb-World, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Return Window
We accept eligible product returns within 30 days from the date the order was delivered.
To qualify for a return, the return request must be submitted within this 30-day period.
Returns requested after 30 days from the delivery date may not be accepted.
2. Return Eligibility
To be eligible for a return, the product must meet all of the following conditions:
- The product must be new and unused.
- The product must not have been installed or wired.
- The product must remain in its original condition.
- The product must include all original parts, accessories, hardware, and components.
- The product should be returned in its original packaging when applicable.
- The product must not have been modified, altered, or damaged through customer use.
Because our products include lighting fixtures, lamps, bulbs, LED products, and electrical components, products that have been installed, wired, modified, altered, or used may not be eligible for return.
3. Products That May Not Be Eligible for Return
The following products may not be eligible for return:
- Installed lighting products
- Wired electrical products
- Used products
- Modified or altered products
- Products damaged due to improper installation
- Products damaged due to misuse or customer handling
- Products missing original parts or accessories
- Products returned after the 30-day return period
- Products clearly marked as Final Sale on the product page
Final-sale products are not eligible for return unless they are defective, damaged, or incorrectly shipped, subject to review by Bulb-World.
4. Return Method
All approved returns must be sent by mail.
We do not currently offer in-store returns or physical drop-off returns.
Customers must contact our support team before sending any product back.
Please do not send a product to our return address without receiving return instructions from Bulb-World.
5. How to Request a Return
To request a return, please contact us at:
Email: support@bulb-world.us
Please provide the following information:
- Order number
- Customer name
- Email address used for the order

After receiving your request, our support team will review the information and determine whether the product qualifies for a return.
If your return is approved, we will provide return instructions by email.
6. Return Shipping Costs
Customers are responsible for the return shipping cost for approved returns.
This includes returns requested because of:
- Change of mind
- Incorrect product selection
- Incorrect size or specification selected
- Product no longer needed
- Product not meeting the customer’s preferences
- Other customer preference-related reasons
Customers are responsible for arranging and paying the return shipping cost unless Bulb-World specifically agrees otherwise in writing.
Any original shipping charges paid by the customer are generally non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or where Bulb-World determines that the refund is appropriate due to an order error.
7. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Products
If you receive a product that appears to be damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible after delivery.
Please provide:

After reviewing the issue, Bulb-World may, at its discretion and subject to the circumstances:

- Approve a return
- Issue a refund
For approved returns involving defective, damaged, or incorrect products, the applicable return instructions and shipping arrangements will be communicated to the customer by our support team.
8. Return Label
Bulb-World does not automatically provide a prepaid return label for every return.
For approved returns, customers are generally responsible for the return shipping cost and may be required to arrange and pay for the return shipment themselves.
If Bulb-World provides a return label or otherwise agrees to cover return shipping for a particular case, the customer will receive specific instructions by email.
9. Restocking Fee
Bulb-World does not charge a restocking fee.
Restocking Fee: $0.00
No separate restocking charge will be deducted from an approved refund.
10. Return Inspection
Once we receive the returned product, it will be inspected to verify that it meets the return eligibility requirements described in this policy.
Products must be returned in acceptable condition and must meet the applicable eligibility requirements.
If the returned product does not meet the requirements, Bulb-World may decline the return or adjust the refund accordingly.
11. Refund Process
After the returned product has been received and inspected, we will notify you by email regarding the status of your return.
If the return is approved, the refund will be processed to the original payment method within 7 days after the returned product has been received and inspected.
The time required for the refunded amount to appear in your account may vary depending on your payment provider, bank, or financial institution.
12. Original Shipping Charges
Original shipping charges paid by the customer are generally non-refundable.
If the return is approved, the refund will normally apply to the eligible product amount only, excluding original shipping charges, unless otherwise required by applicable law or determined by Bulb-World.
13. Exchanges
Bulb-World accepts exchanges for eligible products.
Exchange requests must be submitted within 30 days from the date the order was delivered and the product must meet the applicable return eligibility requirements.
To request an exchange, contact:
Please provide your order number and details of the product you wish to exchange.
All exchanges are subject to product availability.
If the requested replacement product is unavailable, Bulb-World may offer a refund or another appropriate solution.
