Lamps Plus

I purchased a fan thru Lamps Plus using PayPal. I watched my shipping info for a week but it never shipped. Then I get an email saying they received my cancellation of the item. I contacted customer service and was told it was discontinued and they didn't have one to ship me but would help me pick another fan. I watched that fan for 3 months before I bought it and it said it was the last one. But judging by the reviews it seems they don't like when you use PayPal for your order since that is where most of the complaints come from. Very disappointed. They waited 9 days to tell me this, had they shipped it the day I ordered it perhaps I might have got it and they would not have sold it to someone else.

I ordered open box lights. 3 of them. The site said, "error, contact customer service, nothing was in your cart." Called CS, they were closed. Checked my email to verify if there was a confirmation. None. Checked again. None. Reordered. After the second order placed, confirmations for BOTH orders popped up. I immediately canceled one order. Received a message next day saying can't be canceled and I would have to pay for shipping. $60. I emailed, called and argued and finally they agreed to waive the shipping. Received shipping labels. Once they received the items, they deducted the $60.00 from my refund. I emailed. They said, nothing they can do, that I am responsible. Will NEVER do business with them again. Not done fighting it, but don't see much hope given the negative customer service reviews I've since read.

I ordered a chandelier. Very nice and it said ships today. I paid via PayPal and after two days the status was pending so I knew it didn't ship. I looked online and saw that Walmart could deliver. I cancelled the order but their site was down but it said, "Please leave information." and I left everything including the fact that I got it from Walmart. Called, texted and sent email. I get the chandelier from Walmart (exact one) and a couple days later Lamps Plus comes. I call immediately and was told, "Sorry. We will send you return instructions etc." Then the dance started with the next person who couldn't find my order, another one who wanted pictures etc. I had 5 different people and went to one person 4 times. I sent a picture of the installed chandelier.

I ordered a table lamp and paid for it via Paypal. I realized immediately that Paypal had an old address and the lamp was being shipped to the wrong address... So I called customer service within 5 min of ordering to change address. They were closed and told me to leave message which I did. In morning I called customer service since I hadn't heard from them... It was within an hour of them opening. The lamp HAD NOT BEEN shipped. They tell me they have no control...and the lamp is being shipped to old address. AGAIN it had not shipped...when I called or wrote. I feel this is very poor business practice. THIS IS WHY AMAZON IS TAKING OVER SMALL BUSINESS.

Bought a vanity light for $190. The return shipping cost $47! Not worth taking a risk at buying something online through them if the cost of return is that high. In addition to the cost of return, the return process of getting a “return authorization” and printing and filling out the form was very time consuming and old fashioned. After you fill out the forms it’s up to you to choose a shipping company, taking your package there and making arrangements for return. What a hassle. For the record, we chose the cheapest shipping at FedEx.

I ordered a ceiling fan and after it arrived contacted them via “chat” to see if I could purchase a remote for the fan. The agent said there was a remote available and then asked me if I would also like to purchase the wall control. I didn’t even know that was an option. My husband was with me and I asked his opinion and he said, “why not”. I asked the agent how much for both and after getting the price I agreed to purchase both. She placed the order directly and then called me for my credit card number.

I tried to return these very sun damaged outdoor lights and I was told I cannot as it’s past 60 days. It took slightly over 60 days for the sun to damage them. I was offered a small discount on more expensive lights but would have to pay the shipping. I’ve already paid shipping once and paid someone to install them. Now I will have to pay someone to uninstall and reinstall. I will never buy anything from this company again. Please let your friends and family know this company has inferior products and useless customer service. Thievery comes to mind.

I purchased two white replacement shades that were trimmed in a white grosgrain ribbon at the top and bottom. Item #R0144. I have trade account with them so these were to be resold in my interior design shop. They had been on display with the protective plastic on them for about 4 months when I noticed that the ribbon trim had completely turned yellow and was coming off the shades entirely. Customer support was not at all interested in replacing these defective shades and said I was just stuck with them at my expense. I am sure that if the shades I bought had yellowed then the more of that original stock would have also shown this problem. They were not interested in even looking into the problem for me. In a world where we have so many choices I would not chose Lamps Plus again.

They charged us $28.00 to get the lamps we ordered here. They were not suitable for us and when we went to return us the UPS clerk said that it would cost us $112.00 for each lamp to return it!!! We paid less than $100.00 for each lamp. They have to remedy this! They lost a good customer in me and I will tell everyone I know in person and online not to fall for the low price - they stick you with the merchandise by making it impossible to return. STICK WITH AMAZON!!! They know how to grow business and customer loyalty. I can't tell you enough. Do not fall for this scam!

I ordered lamps back in September 2018. I told customer service that one of my lamps was just discolored upon arrival. I was told by a representative to return the item. I wasn't able to get a refund until I send the item back. I didn't want to wait 14 days to get a refund so I purchase a new set of lamps. When the new lamps arrive I noticed they were the same exact lamps I sent to them just restained. I am still waiting on the outcome for new lamps... BUYER BEWARE!!!

Musical pricing. 3 venues, exact same fan, Lamps Plus the seller on all three venues (including their own site), 3 different prices. Two days later, different pricing again. Really? Get ready to jump through hoops to get the best deal. Be ready for the "we match competitor's prices, not our own" speech when you attempt to match THEIR OWN price. Not Impressed.

After attempting to order a ceiling fan, I found out I had to pay extra for the remote but I couldn't order it online and had to order it on the phone. Paying $86 for the remote control was terrible enough and then the fan arrived without the remote, which now I find out won't arrive for three weeks! I would never have bought the ceiling fan if I knew that because I either have to wait till the end of the summer to pay an electrician to put the damned thing up or I will have to pay an electrician twice to come back and sync the remote to the fan which will be high up on the ceiling. What a terrible store. Don't order from them. Ever.

Strongly advise not to buy from this company. Bought 2 lamps, one had a damaged lampshade. They shipped another, but that one was damaged by UPS in transit. They wanted to ship another one, but after much discussion, they offered a 25.00 credit. I countered with 50.00, but that was nothing compared to the time/days I wasted with this company and now having to buy not one but 2 lampshades to match both lamps. With each shipment, you must stay home all day waiting for shipment. You can't buy any lampshade for under 75.00 from this company, yet they offered 25.00, but I countered with 50.00 and they accepted. I was not going to spend another day waiting for another shipment, so I took the offer.

We ordered a 400$ chandelier and it arrived damaged and could not be used due to being made incorrectly. WE had a 150 dollar electrician bill as well. My Husband and myself emailed and called them numerous times to work out a solution. After three weeks of dealing with their awful customer service, their only offer was 100 off the broken piece of simply return it. We have to hire an electrician AGAIN to safely take it down to return it but they refuse to compensate. Do NOT shop with this company because you will absolutely regret it.

Think twice before buying from these people. Their return policy is misleading. With the two big box stores they will allow returns no matter the reason. The wife bought a lamp from Lamps Plus and it came in a plain box without a picture so I didn't know what it was supposed to look like. The instructions pitiful without clear illustrations, and no parts list. So once I assembled and installed the lamp the wife says it doesn't look right and is supposed to hang lower. We go over the instructions and look through the box and do not see any more parts. Finally after pulling the last styrofoam out of the box we find a couple of rods taped to the bottom.

Do not order from this company!! Their products descriptions are incomplete & misleading. They give you the impression your return shipping will be taken care of however it is not. They do not stand behind their products and website! DO NOT ORDER THROUGH THEM.

We ordered two lamps in January. Called in February to cancel the order and "mysteriously" the order was shipped out that very day. We received the lamps and immediately returned them. We called to verify that they had received the lamps. They gave us a refund for one of the lamps, but not the other. I called the past 3 weeks and every time spoke to very nice people who said I would have my refund in 24 hours (names were Kimberly, Arthur and Mario). Today we said we would let our credit card company dispute the charge and his response was "DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO". Really?

I ordered a lamp on January 8th. Their website stated it would ship in 2-4 weeks. I received an email after I ordered the item changing the shipping date to February 21st. On February 21st I received an email changing the shipping date to April 30th. I have made complaints to the company via customer service and online reviews but the shipping date on the website was changed to a lesser amount. Today it says it ships in 1-2 weeks. I have still not received my lamp. I believe they are making false promises and they have removed the review I wrote. If a company allows customers to write reviews I don't believe it is ethical to remove an unfavorable review.

Product arrived damaged, it was a heavy high end floor lamp with a glass shelf. The glass shelf wasn't even in bubble wrap, the box the item came in was so inadequate for such a heavy piece that it caved and split during shipping. The glass shelf was shattered and the globe was chipped. Lamps Plus told me they could not send me a new shelf that I had to return the item.

I called to order a ceiling lamp. The people there can nearly stay awake and have no product information and will tell you everything is perfect. Never a problem with anything. So I tried to order something and they doubled billed me; AMEX immediately showed that the card was billed twice. I kept repeating exactly what the two responses from Amex said. They said something was wrong with my card. Then they said in order to correct the problem I would hear from the fraud dept in four days.

Our delivery was not received by us, meaning after being left on the front porch was either stolen or it was delivered to a wrong address? Nobody received the item from our household, period. You would think Lamps Plus would try to send us another one or refund! They offered no solution, other than, "Go to your bank and dispute it." As if the money was taken from account wrongfully. Obviously our bank will not agree to it. And we are left with no Lamp, $300 gone and a frustration that have to live with. My question is, if a company is washing their hands once an order is dropped at customer's doorsteps, shouldn't they also have a stronger policy to obtain a receive signature? I would be glad if the delivery person left a note that this will be left at such and such address for pick up or a later delivery. Horrified. Customer comes last.

Purchased a lamp thru Amazon steered to Lamps Plus, online purchased July 27. Called August 13, no lamp, said delivered August 1st, advised that is a lie. Rep said would expedite, advised must have by August 18. August 16 no lamp, August 17 no lamp, called August 18 advised next week. These guys are the scum of online purchases. My next contact is Amazon to see if I can get them removed, BBB shows them with 86% negative rating. They deserve every complaint.

The lamp that I spent 299.99 plus shipping for was shipped in a huge box and encased in styrofoam packing that disintegrated during the process of unpacking, creating an incredibly large mess of tiny static-charged pieces of styrofoam throughout two rooms of my house that will take me days to clean. In addition, the lamp itself looks okay, but is substandard in quality and not at all worth the price that I was charged. No more business from me for Lamps Plus!

I fell in-love with chandelier at Lamps Plus. Before buying the chandelier, I checked other websites to see if I could find a lower price. Sure enough, I found a lower price. I immediately contacted Lamps Plus via email to request their 120% price match guarantee. After 3 days of waiting, however, no one replied to my inquiry. Because so much time had passed, I was worried the promotional price for this item at the other store would expire. So, I finally called into the Lamps Plus customer service number. I spoke with a representative and explained what had happened. The representative double-checks the website where I found the lower price. She agreed it was the same item and even said, “We price match from this website all the time.” Before she could honor the promotional price, she said she needed her manager to approve the price match, but her manager wouldn't be available until “tomorrow”.

I placed an order for lamp and accessories on May 29, 2017 and paid in full. Was told it'd take 4 weeks. After several delays, I'm now told that my order won't come until September 15!!! It is RIDICULOUS. I've sent email to cancel this order and expect a full refund.

I bought a table lamp from Lamps Plus over a month ago. I had to return it as the bulb showed out of the top. I repackaged it and followed their instructions. I called them and paid an additional $10 for a pickup. 2 weeks later it was FINALLY picked up and they sent me a confirmation that it was picked up. Forward 2 more weeks STILL NO CREDIT. DO NOT BUY FROM LAMPS PLUS IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY OF A RETURN.

Cords and plugs and lights all the light bulbs I need. I like shopping there because it is bright. I like light bulbs. It makes me happy to buy there. I will go back. Their light bulbs are good. They don't break and seem to last a lot longer than ones from other stores. Anyway I like their goodness. Good products there. I like the store. It's big and easy to shop in. They have many bulbs. Mississippi is the best store anyway. Customer service wasn't the best. I had to find my own things to buy. No one there to help me. I was alone. They need more workers. Other than that it's a good store.

Customer service is wonderful. I had some difficult lighting needs and they were able to help me work things out. I love their home decor section. We have only had our lighting installed within the last thirty days, so it's hard to judge what it will be long term, but have every confidence in the structure of their products. Their prices are generally what you would expect to pay at any home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, etc) but I believe they carry a broader range of products at several price points. They have a GREAT team. From the secretary to the installers, all were very polite and professional. It's very apparent that they love their jobs and are there to help and direct, whatever your lighting needs.

They have a huge selection of every type of lamp you could be looking for, whether its small or large. From table lamps to floor or ceiling lamps they have a wide selection to choose from. The 2 table lamps that I purchased have been wonderful and I have not experienced any problems. I purchased about 4 years ago. They have maintained the color of the base with no scratches. They are a little bit more pricey but the quality outstands other places where I have purchased lamps before. The sales associates at Lamps Plus are extremely helpful and knowledgeable in their products. They also leave you alone to browse if that is what you desire.

I was looking for ceiling fans, they had an excellent selection on display and even more that they went over with me in their catalogs. There was also a large selection of models and finishes of outdoor lights, and indoor ceiling, wall, and bathroom lights to select from which were on display, and they also had a large selection available by catalog. I was impressed that they had more of a variety than other local stores. I purchased a ceiling fan which I use daily constantly for several months at a time in Arizona and it is extremely well made, quiet and energy efficient. It is also extremely attractive.
