 What if my product arrives damaged or missing some parts?

Marie Antonette stands 100% behind our products. Each piece is carefully finished and packed to ensure safe transport. We have selected our shipping vendors for their quality of service and care of the product. We encourage you to inspect your items on receipt of your purchase. In the event that damage occurs in transit or you discover any manufacturing defects, please contact us immediately email us at support@marieantonette.shop or hq@marieantonette.shop 

As per our store policy we do require that claims are reported within (14) days after the delivery.  If you need to store your items for an extended period of time, such as during construction or renovation, please be sure to inspect the product before moving them into storage as the (14 ) day claims window will still apply. As more time passes, we are no longer able to determine the cause of any damages. We require all items be signed for at the point of delivery precisely to accommodate the inspection of these items, but we understand sometimes concealed damage is not always obvious upon receipt. 

"Return and Exchange Policy: Addressing Installation-related Concerns and Ensuring Customer Satisfaction"

 At Shop Marie Antonette we strive to provide our customers with the highest quality lighting products that undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures. However, in the event that an installation issue occurs, we want to ensure that our customers receive the best possible support.

 While our lighting products are designed to meet strict safety standards, it is important to note that proper installation should always be carried out by a licensed electrician. This ensures that the installation is done correctly and minimizes the risk of any electrical issues.

In the unfortunate event that an installation error or electrical shorting occurs, Shop Marie Antonette cannot be held liable for any damages or injuries resulting from such incidents. Our responsibility for the product ends once it leaves our facilities and is handed over to the customer or their chosen electrician.

For this reason, we regret to inform you that any lighting product damaged due to improper installation or mishandling by an electrician is not eligible for return or exchange. We strongly advise customers to carefully select a licensed electrician who possesses the necessary skills and expertise to handle the installation process.

However, we understand that exceptional circumstances may arise, and we are committed to providing excellent customer service. If you encounter any issues or have concerns about our lighting products, we encourage you to reach out to our customer support team. They will be more than happy to assist you and explore possible solutions on a case-by-case basis.

We value our customers' satisfaction and safety. We continuously strive to deliver top-notch lighting products and support, and we appreciate your understanding in adhering to proper installation procedures for optimal performance and safety.
