Return Policy
Return Window
All sales are final. We only accept returns in two cases: (1) the item was damaged during transport, or (2) the item has a manufacturer defect present at the time of delivery. Returns due to change of mind, incorrect selection, or customer-caused damage are not accepted.
Please note: Certain US states provide statutory consumer protections that may override this policy. If you believe you are entitled to such protections, please contact support@thelightbridge.com for more information.
Condition Requirements
To qualify for a full refund, returned items must be:
- In the condition received - not further used or altered after the defect or damage was discovered
- In the original, unaltered packaging, including all inserts, foam, and the intact UPC/barcode
- Accompanied by all included accessories, cables, manuals, blank warranty cards, and any free gifts or bundled items
- Returned with proof of purchase (order number or receipt)
Items are inspected upon return. If the damage or defect is determined to be customer-caused, Lightbridge Americas reserves the right to refuse the return or apply a restocking fee of up to 15% of the item's purchase price.
Damaged-in-Transit or Defective Items
If your item arrives damaged or with a defect, please follow these steps immediately:
-
Report to FedEx Upon Delivery
Inspect all items at the time of delivery.
If damage or defect is discovered, refuse the shipment or note the damage on the delivery receipt.
Contact FedEx immediately on the day of delivery to file a damage claim.
The carrier's investigation window closes quickly for high-value shipments, so timely reporting is critical.
-
Document All Damage or Defects Thoroughly
Take clear photographs and/or videos of:
* The damaged packaging/box
* All damaged items from multiple angles
* Any defects or manufacturing issues
* Serial numbers or product codes (if visible)
Keep all original packaging materials as evidence and document the date, time, and condition of delivery.
-
Report to Lightbridge Support
Email support@thelightbridge.com with:
* Your order number
* Photos/videos of the damage
* A detailed description of what was damaged or defective
* Proof of FedEx notification (screenshot, reference number, or receipt)
Submit this report within 24 hours of delivery for fastest resolution.
Important: Claims for items damaged in transit or missing from the shipment must be reported to BOTH FedEx AND to our support team on the day of delivery. Claims submitted after this window may not be honored, as carrier investigation windows close quickly for high-value shipments.
If items were damaged during transport, have manufacturer defects, or incorrect items were delivered, please report on the day of delivery as written above. We'll arrange a repair, exchange for the same or an equivalent model, or a full refund at our discretion.
