Payments/ Terms & Conditions/ Return Policy

Estimated Delivery date starts from the time we receive payment, not the quote or invoice date. Therefore, we encourage payment to be remitted timely so the craftsmen can begin your order as soon as possible. Lead-times can vary and are dependent on the particular special order product, receipt of payment, and if applicable, the customer supplying all other necessary information required for the order. Any lead time or delivery date specified by the Supplier is provided as a guide only.  All delivery times quoted for such Special Orders are approximate and can vary from the time quoted.  For interior lighting fixtures, UL listing will be provided, at the customer request, and an additional charge may apply.

For all items in our collection, it is highly recommended that at time of ordering or prior, that the client ask to see an actual physical finish sample. Colors/ Finishes are a representation only, and can vary from monitor to monitor or the lighting environment of the photo. As such, it's advisable a client request a physical color sample to ensure the finish color they have selected. 

Due to the handmade quality of all The Federalist products, as well as any customizations requested, slight variations in size, style, materials, colors, finishes, and hardware may occur, and are considered acceptable. For exterior fixtures, slight visibility of soldering is acceptable and over time, as the fixture weathers naturally, the soldering will blend in.  Furthermore, client agrees and acknowledges these terms and conditions by submission of payment for an order.

When available, the light fixture will be provided with the candle-sleeves shown on the fixture, on our website. In cases where supply may be limited, we will provide an alternative candle-sleeve.  We do not sell candle-sleeves separately.  Therefore, should a client want to change the color/style of the candle-sleeve or purchase additional candle-sleeves at a later time, we can refer you to suppliers that sell candle-sleeves, so that you can make a direct purchase. 

Wood finishes have some allowed variance in color due to the handmade nature as well as the inherent qualities of the natural material.
