Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number, where tracking is available. You can track your order on our Order Tracking Page.
Please allow 24–72 hours for tracking to update after the tracking number has been issued. If your tracking has not updated for several business days, contact us and we will help investigate.

We offer delivery to selected countries and regions within the United Kingdom, European Union, North America, and Oceania.

Havelalights currently offers free standard shipping for eligible orders to the regions where we offer delivery.
If a shipping cost applies to a specific order, delivery location, product, or shipping method, it will be shown clearly at checkout before you complete your purchase.
Our order cut-off time is 4:00 PM UK time, Monday to Saturday.
Orders placed after the cut-off time, during weekends, or on public holidays will begin processing on the next business day. The cut-off time determines when processing begins and does not guarantee same-day dispatch.
Some orders may be shipped internationally. Depending on your delivery country, your order may be subject to import duties, customs charges, local taxes, brokerage fees, clearance fees, or carrier fees.
We recommend checking with your local customs authority before placing an order if you are unsure about possible import costs.
Please contact us as soon as possible at support@havelalights.com with your order number and the correct address.
We will do our best to update the address if the order has not yet been processed or dispatched. Once an order has entered processing or has been handed to a courier, we may not be able to change the address.

Use our Returns Portal to submit your request. Have your order number ready, and upload a photo or video if your item arrived damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete, or not as described.
Open Returns PortalWe offer a 30-day return policy for eligible products. You may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order.
For change-of-mind returns, items must generally be unused, in their original condition, and returned with original accessories, labels, manuals, parts, and packaging where reasonably possible.
This policy applies to customers in the United Kingdom, European Union, North America, and Oceania, where Havelalights offers delivery. Your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
For full details, see our Return & Refund Policy.
- Visit our Returns Portal or email us at support@havelalights.com.
- Enter your order details and select the item or items you wish to return.
- Select the reason for your return.
- For damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete, or not-as-described items, upload the requested photo or video evidence.
- Submit the return request.
- Once your return is approved, we will send you the correct return address and instructions by email.
Approved returns are sent to our return warehouse in the Netherlands. The full return address is provided by email after your return request has been approved.
Please do not send returns to our registered company address in the United States, as that is not our return warehouse and returns sent there may not be processed.
For change-of-mind returns, return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility, unless applicable law requires otherwise. We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service and keeping your proof of postage.
If your item is confirmed to be faulty, damaged, incorrect, incomplete, or not as described, we will provide an appropriate solution in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy and applicable law. Where applicable law requires us to cover return shipping costs, we will do so.
| Stage | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Goodwill change-of-mind return processing | 7 days after receipt and inspection |
| Bank or payment provider processing | 3–5 additional business days |
| UK/EU statutory cancellation refunds | Processed within the timeframe required by applicable law |
We will notify you by email once your return has been received, inspected, and approved for refund.
Refunds are normally issued to your original payment method.
Store credit may be offered for goodwill returns, but only where lawful and selected by you. Store credit will not be used as a substitute for a statutory refund where a cash refund is required by law.
Please contact us at support@havelalights.com or use the Returns Portal as soon as possible. Include your order number and clear photo or video evidence of the issue.
| Issue | Requested Evidence |
|---|---|
| Visible damage, dent, scratch, or broken part | Clear photo of the damage and packaging |
| Functional defect, such as a lamp not working correctly | Short video clearly showing the problem |
| Incorrect item, missing item, or missing part | Photo of the item received, package contents, and shipping label where relevant |
In the event of a confirmed defect, we will send a free replacement product. If replacement is not possible or cannot be arranged within a reasonable timeframe, you are entitled to a partial or full refund.
If applicable mandatory consumer law gives you additional rights or a different remedy, we will honour those rights.
Contact us at support@havelalights.com with your order number and a photo of the package contents where relevant.
Once the issue is confirmed, we will arrange a replacement item, missing-part shipment, or another appropriate solution at no additional cost to you.
The change-of-mind return policy does not usually apply to:
- Items that have been used, installed, altered, washed, modified, or damaged after delivery beyond what is necessary to inspect the product;
- Items returned without original accessories, parts, manuals, labels, or packaging where this prevents resale or reduces the value of the item;
- Custom-made or personalised items, unless they are faulty, incorrect, not as described, or returnable under applicable law;
- Items where only the outer packaging was damaged during transit and the product itself is intact, complete, and fully functional;
- Items returned without prior approval or to the wrong address, where permitted by law.
These exclusions do not limit your mandatory consumer rights for faulty, damaged, incorrect, incomplete, or not-as-described goods.
