What U.S. & Canadian Shoppers Should Know
Shipping & Pricing
Being U.S.-based, shipping within the U.S. is usually more straightforward & faster; for Canadian buyers, shipping costs, duties or taxes may apply. Always check total landed cost.
Return policies are important — check if the item is bulky furniture or lighting with fragile parts; returns may be more difficult or costlier.
Customer Support
Lumens offers live chat & customer service. For lighting, especially custom fixtures, there may be lead times or special handling required.
Warranty issues: Many lighting brands have limited warranties; always read the warranties if buying something high-end or custom.
Design & Practical Considerations
Ensure that your electrical / ceiling wiring etc. in your home will support the style & weight of the fixture.
For outdoor items, check rating (wet/damp) to ensure safety & durability in your climate.
Why People Love Lumens
Quality & Luxury:
Many items are designer or premium. If you want a statement chandelier or a design-led fixture, Lumens is one of the go-to places
Inspiration & Curation:
Their site isn’t just “catalog”-style. They have design spotlights, curated collections, room setups etc. Good for visualizing.
Depth of Options
From very modern to traditional styles, plus accessories, so you can furnish/decor all at once rather than hopping from store to store.
Possible Drawbacks
Prices for designer & lifestyle brands can be high.
Shipping & installation costs for large, heavy, or fragile items can add up.
For Canadians, cross-border shipping & import fees might reduce the value of “a deal.”
