Refund policy

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, reply to your order confirmation email to request which products you would like to return. Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address:

LIGHTKIWI LLC
4300 EASTON DR. SUITE 15
BAKERSFIELD, CA 93309


If your return is accepted, we’ll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

Part of the kit products cannot be returned for a refund. For a refund, all components of the kit product must be returned.

If the product has been altered, modified, water/liquid damaged, or physically damaged, it voids its warranty and is not eligible for refund/replacement.

Except for the build-your-own kit, part of the kit products cannot be returned for a refund. For a refund, all components of the kit product must be returned.

Should you return your item(s), you must also return any items given to you for free. Should you choose not to, your refund amount will be lessened by the value of the gift you chose to keep.

You can always contact us for any return question at cs@lightkiwi.com.

Damages and issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on gift cards.

Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at cs@lightkiwi.com.

Restocking Fee
A 15% restocking fee will be charged on all returned items for a refund. This fee applies unless the item is defective or damaged, you received the wrong item, or the fee is prohibited by law.

A restocking fee may vary in situations that do not comply with the policy.

Replacement (Defective or Received Wrong Product)
If the report of receiving a wrong item(s) or the defect is reported within 30 days, we will issue a return label via email. We will send out the replacement as soon as we receive the returned package.

If the report of receiving a wrong product(s) or the defect is reported after 30 days, we are not responsible for return shipping cost. The customer will be required to ship the item back at their expense.

Replacement is only valid for the same product and replacement with a different product is not valid.

Our Warranty does not extend to any products that are physically damaged or that are not under normal operating conditions as a result of misuse or improper installation on the buyer/user's part.
