Orders

Browse our website, select the product you'd like, and add it to your cart. When you're ready, proceed to checkout and enter your delivery address and payment details. You'll receive an order confirmation email within a few minutes of a successful payment.

If you don't receive a confirmation email within 30 minutes, check your spam folder or contact us at support@havelalights.com.

We process orders quickly, so changes and cancellations are only possible if your order has not yet been dispatched. Please contact us immediately at support@havelalights.com with your order number.

Once an order has been shipped, it can no longer be changed or cancelled — but you may return it within 30 days of delivery under our Return & Refund Policy.

Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this at any time on our Order Tracking Page.

If your tracking hasn't updated in several days or your order seems stuck, contact us at support@havelalights.com and we'll investigate on your behalf.

  1. Check your spam or junk folder — confirmation emails occasionally land there.
  2. Verify that the email address entered at checkout is correct.
  3. Contact us at support@havelalights.com with your name and approximate order date and we'll look into it right away.

First, check your tracking on our Order Tracking Page. Delivery can take up to 14 business days from dispatch and may be longer during public holidays or peak periods.

If tracking shows no update for more than 5 business days, or the estimated window has passed, contact us at support@havelalights.com and we'll open an investigation with the carrier.

Shipping

We currently ship to the United Kingdom and all European Union member states. If your country is not available at checkout, contact us and we'll do our best to help.

Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Delivery may take longer during busy periods such as sales events or national holidays.

Shipping is completely free on all orders to the UK and EU. There is no minimum order value required.

Orders placed before 10:00 PM GMT (UTC+0), Monday to Friday will begin processing the same business day. Orders placed after this time, or on weekends and public holidays, will begin processing on the next available business day.

Our goods are dispatched from outside the UK and EU. Depending on the declared value of your order and your country's customs rules, import duties or local taxes may be applied upon arrival.

We ship on a Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis. Any customs charges that arise are the responsibility of the recipient and are outside our control. We recommend checking with your local customs authority before placing your order if you are unsure.

Contact us as soon as possible at support@havelalights.com with your order number and the correct address. We'll do our best to update it, but cannot guarantee changes once an order has been processed or dispatched. Please double-check your address carefully at checkout.

  • Unused and in their original condition

  • Securely packaged for return transit

For full details, see our Return & Refund Policy.

Approved returns are sent to our warehouse in China. The full return address is provided by email once your return has been approved.

Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility. We do not provide prepaid return labels. You may use any courier of your choice — we strongly recommend a tracked and insured service.

International customs charges and clearance fees for returns to China are also the customer's responsibility.
