Refund policy

Return and refund policy

At Substans, every lamp is carefully crafted, finished, and inspected before dispatch. As a small-batch design studio, we prioritize quality over mass production. Every order is packed with great care to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

Because of the limited nature of our products, all purchases are considered Final Sale unless they arrive damaged, defective, or incorrect.

Return Eligibility

A return or replacement may be approved only if:

  • The product arrives physically damaged during transit.
  • The product has a verified manufacturing defect.
  • You receive the wrong product or incorrect variant.
  • The item is unused and in its original condition.

To submit a valid claim, you must provide:

  • A claim within 48 hours of delivery.
  • A continuous unboxing video starting from the sealed package being opened.
  • Clear photographs showing the issue.
  • Your Order ID.
  • Original packaging, tags, accessories, and complimentary items.

Claims submitted without an unboxing video cannot be processed.

The Substans reserves the right to reject claims that do not satisfy these requirements.

We only offer exchanges for approved damaged, defective, or incorrectly delivered products.

Once your claim has been verified, we may offer:
