Cancelling an Order
Once your payment has been processed, your order can be cancelled without penalty up until your product is shipped. It is highly recommended to call one of our customer service representatives to verify that you order has not shipped and that it can be cancelled.
Viewing Orders
Once you place your order, you will immediately receive an order confirmation email to the email you supplied. After your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your associated tracking number. If you created an account with us, you will be able to access all past order information including order history, tracking information and any associated comments related to your order. If you purchased your order using PayPal without creating a user account, you will still receive the order confirmation email and order shipment confirmation email to the email address you supplied. However, if you did not create a user account, order history will not be available.
Shipping & Delivery
We carry a large inventory which enables us to provide extraordinary customer service. All orders are expected to ship same day or next business day depending on the time the order was placed. On rare occasions we may have a product on backorder from the manufacturer and cannot ship the same day or next business day. When that occurs you will be immediately notified of any delay and the expected ship date. If that ship date is unacceptable to you, we will offer a full refund of your order without any penalty. Flat Rate Shipping and Free Shipping is only available within the 48 continental states. Flat Rate Shipping or Free Shipping will be honored in Alaska and Hawaii if the complete order will fit into a USPS Large Flat Rate box or less.
International Shipments
We process international shipments every day. There is additional risk buying and selling products in other countries which we try to minimize to protect our customers and ourselves. Credit card companies and Paypal may not provide "Seller Protection" for a number of reasons but the most likely case is shipping to an unconfirmed address. If this occurs, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your order and address. Shipping rates calculated at checkout are for shipment costs only and do not include Taxes and Duty that may be required. These taxes and duty are the responsibility of the Buyer. If you refuse to pay the taxes and duty for the products, you can refuse the package and you will be refunded the amount of the order less actual shipping charges as a result of the refusal. The most cost effective method for international shipping is to use your own shipper/carrier/broker. You can use the coupon code "INTL-FOB" and you will not be charge shipping at checkout. You can then just forward your shipping label to support@bulbsdepot.com and reference your order number.
Returns & Replacements
All orders can be returned within 30 days of the order ship date. The customer must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) to insure that a product return is processed correctly. To obtain a RMA #, please email us at support@bulbsdepot.com or call our customer service number and identify the order # and items you would like to return. The RMA # must be clearly marked on the return packaging otherwise the return may not be processed correctly.
