GBDumbfounded by how poor the service was We had bought a product advertised as a hazer, expecting the typical characteristics of a haze machine. Upon it's arrival, it was an over glorified fog machine. Due to limiting circumstances, a fog machine is next to useless for what we needed it for. Upon contacting customer service to explain the situation, we were rudely told there was nothing that could be done to help our situation. The only option was to pay at 30% restocking fee, plus shipping, and have receive in-store credit. Now, why would I want more credit to a store that has treated me so poorly? Looking back, it's pretty comical how bad it was. There are a lot of great one-liners I now share with my friends that I gained from their customer service.

GBTERRIBLE Customer Service I spent a great deal of money at cheaplights.com and made a phone order. The people there were helpful when I wanted to know about the product. However, as soon as they got my money it was a different story. I was told the shipping was going to cost around 50 dollars for my order. It was 100. I was offered a drop shipment at my house, but what they dont telll you is that the drop shipment is an additional 60 bucks. 160 for shipping altogether. Suddenly these cheaplights got expensive. I found this out after calling them asking for the rececipt that they never emailed me and getting the invoice. They sent the shipment to their warehouse instead of my house and offered me store credit if I went to pick it up instead of them reshipping it to me. When I went to pick up the lights they told me I could only get 20 dollars worth of store credit. Not even enough to cover the cost of driving over there or buy anything descent in the store. When I tried to tell them I wanted to be reimbursed for the 60 dollar drop shipment which never happened they told me my inconvenience was not worth that much. ALSO what they do not tell you is that there is no returning your lights once you buy them. I guess the fact that the tattooed men tossing my boxes full of lights on the ground would have nothing to do with them not working? When I asked them why that was not stated over the phone they replied that it is in tiny font on their website. I guess I should have just known that? Overall the service is just shameful. They were rude and condescending, the man running this business is terribly unprofessional, and they are increadibly misleading. I must have asked 50 questions of these people before buying and they still manged to screw me over. They may be cheaplights but they get you with shipping and a lack of return policy. I will never shop there again. AVOID THESE PEOPLE THEY WILL TRY TO SCREW YOU OVER!!!

GBThey should be called Cheap Broken Lights.com I ordered lights. They arrived broken. I called for a replacement. They said I have to pay the shipping. I never had a company try to charge me for shipping back a broken product. I could see if the product broke months later and before the warranty period. But these arrived broken. The girl on the phone said she knows and agrees that is isnt fair, but there was nothing she could do. I m actually affraid to even ship them because I dont trust that they will replace the broken lights. I wish I read the reviews first. Dont buy From Cheap Broken Lights. Com
