What happens before production starts?

Send a sketch, photograph, or 3D model with your target width, height, and drop length. Our team reviews the design and prepares detailed production drawings for your approval. Confirm dimensions, finish, material, and light source before approving the drawings. Design review and revisions happen before the production estimate begins.

Do small and large fixtures use different shipping schedules?

All standard orders ship by sea. The same published shipping estimate applies to small wall sconces, pendants, chandeliers, and larger fixtures; fixture size does not select a faster standard shipping service. Local delivery is typically handled by UPS or FedEx. Larger or heavier items may require truck freight and curbside delivery.
