    Unanswered
    I purchased a fan from Lightology in 2022 that was defective. I reached out to the manufacturer (based on Lightology's request) and received a part that did not fix the issue, I then reached out again and received a full warranty which I then filed with Lightology. Lightology then took over 30 days to file my claim (despite saying it would take 2-3) and shipped my replacement fan to the wrong address, which I notified them of immediately. It took me several months to actually get the shipment since it was sent to the wrong address. I then got charged by Lightology because I didn't ship back the defective fan within a 30 day window. However I had no way to do this because of when I was actually able to get the replacement fan do to it being shipped to the wrong address. I have the emails showing that they didn't respond to my requests in the timeframe I wanted and that when I emailed them to say they shipped to the wrong address the link they provided to email was dead. Now that I have the new fan I also offered to ship the old parts back and they refused. They made the mistake by shipping to the wrong address (which they've admitted) and I want my money refunded.

    Absolutely horrible customer service and untenable, customer burdened business practice. A suspended light shade was ordered and delivered without issue. Upon delivery, the shipping box and light shade were promptly inspected and no visible signs of damage or defects were found. Three business days after arrival, the shade was attached to the provided hanging cord for installation. Once suspended from the provided hanging cord, a noticeable flaw and ripple appeared only after being hung. The flaw and ripple was further exacerbated the longer it hung. When relieved from suspension, the flaw in the shade disappears. **************** was contacted the following day. After multiple back-and-forth emails with customer service, they said they were unable to exchange the defective product because it was outside the 72 hour notification period post delivery. The explanation that the flaw and ripple only became visible when suspended, which was caused by manufacture defect feel on deaf ears. I further explain it is not reasonable to receive and hang this type of light within a 72 hour period so it can be inspected for manufacturer flaws. Again the explanation and request for exchange fell on deaf ears. Sadly, I have filed a dispute resolution with **************** to resolve this issue. I strongly advise not purchasing products from this business.
