What is a 'Production lead time'?
Production lead time is the amount of time in days that it takes the Spark & Bell team on average to hand-make, PAT test, quality test and pack your order. That means that by the last possible day on the production lead the order will be dispatched by our shipping team.
*Please note. We begin the order process each morning, so if you place an order mid-day. The production lead time will start the following morning.
If the courier missed you, no worries. They will normally leave a delivery note or send a delivery attempt email.
Both with give instructions for re-scheduling a delivery. You can also contact the courier with your tracking number provided for additional delivery support.
If none of the above applies, reach out to our team and will support.
If a customer supplies an incorrect delivery address and the items are dispatched or delivered before the customer notifies Spark & Bell, the customer is liable for the order.
At Spark & Bell we use address verification on every order to minimise the possibility of incorrect addresses. However customer mistakes can not always be spotted. If your order cannot be located due to the above reasons, the customer will need to contact their courier or try to locate the order if delivered to another local address.
A refund is not applicable in this instance, and the customer will be required to place a new order for any new lights to be made and sent out.
A tracking number will be issued via order dispatch email. Please check your inbox. You can also access the tracking number in your orders within the 'My Account' panel.

We provide a 60 day returns policy. This allows for time to install lighting for interior design projects. A return made after this time may be refused.
Many of our lights are customisable. Due to this, any customised lighting will require a restocking fee on return. This covers the product and ingredient costs of the light as it may not be useable in the future.
To identify whether this affects your return, please check the product listing page > and head to the Shipping & Returns tab. This tab will display any return restocking fees if they apply.
