All Products in the USA and Canada are shipped via UPS unless otherwise specified. Canadian shipping is approx. twice the cost of shipping to the USA, and usually takes about twice as long to get there.

Additional shipping will be charged for heavier and bulkier items, such as large machines, cases, Large mirror balls and Trussing (Regular light stands and smaller trussing do not fall into this category). Large Trussing and most Crank Lifts must be shipped by common carrier (truck). Shipping is approximately 12% for these items. Pyrotechnics cost more to ship, which helps defray the high cost of insurance.

Large Orders: International customers purchasing heavier orders (100 lbs or heavier) might consider contracting with a freight forwarder. They can ship anywhere. South American customers are encouraged to find a freight forwarder from Miami, Florida.

StarLight.com stands behind every product sold. These products are guaranteed to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of at least 90 days - more when stated. Some products are warranted for periods up to a lifetime. The only exception is bulbs, which are warranteed for 24 hours. All bulbs are carefully tested and packaged.

If you have received a defective product, please accept our apology. Unlike other companies, we physically inspect and test most items before shipping, but they are occasionally damaged in transit. We will do everything we can to remedy your situation quickly. If an item is received that has been damaged in transit, let us know right away so that we file an insurance claim with our carrier. As soon as the claim is settled, we will ship you a new item or reimburse you for the damaged item at your discretion.

To return a defective item, contact us with details and use your invoice number as Return Authorization Number. Return will be shipped to same address that it was shipped from. As soon as we receive the item we will repair or replace the item and return it directly to you. Defective items will be replaced at no cost within the warrantee period. Sorry, but we cannot replace a defective product until we have received it at one of our repair centers - no exceptions.

Important: Insure your package, and be sure to return by only by UPS or FedEx. We have trouble receiving returns from the Post Office because they run at 8 a.m. and we do not open until 10 a.m. The Post Office and DHL will typically return an item to you rather than attempt delivery during regular business hours, or simply leave it unsecured in front of the building (we are in an non-secure downtown location).

Products returned for credit have a minimum 20% restock fee (minimum $20) because all items need to go through a rigorous testing and re-packaging process. This is more difficult for the type of electronic good that we sell. Fees may be higher depending on condition of item, type of item and condition of original packing materials. Non-defective products cannot be returned after 30 days. Shipping charges are non-refundable. Some items may be non-returnable.

Pyrotechnics, Fluids, Paints, Gobos and Bulbs are non-returnable. International customers (outside the USA) must return warranted items at their own expense, as well as pay for return shipping.

Customers have several payment options available. Credit cards, Money Orders or Checks are all acceptable methods of payments. Money Orders and checks may be mailed to our central office. Checks must be held 4- 6 weeks for processing, but all other orders will be processed immediately. All orders must be paid for before they can leave our warehouse.

Unfortunately, we can not ship COD or general Purchase Order's. All orders must be paid in full before leaving our warehouse. We have had trouble collecting payments for purchase orders, so we have been forced to discontinue this program.

Customers may call our toll free '800' number for ordering, fax in your order or order via our wesite. All e-mail and fax information is strictly confidential.
