Bought two lamps

Bought two lamps. Once hung by the electrician it turned out neither of the lamps would hang straight, no matter what we did.

I complained to Hugbel (which is a dropshipping company btw) and asked to return the lamps. They refused a return/refund, but sent two replacement lamps. These lamps were not full replacements (only the glass shades), however, and lo and behold, they still are crooked and lopsided when hung! Add the cost of having to pay an electrician to hang them and they become very expensive.

An absolute scam company, selling supposed premium products. I’ve reverse image searched the lamps and found them on Temu and Alibaba for a fraction of the price Hugbel sells them.

They hide behind a Netherlands address (which makes one believe they would have to abide by European return and refund regulations) but they are nothing but a dropship company from China.

Hi Luna,

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment you have experienced with your lamps. We understand your frustration, especially after receiving replacement shades that have not resolved the original issue.

We would appreciate it if you could contact our customer support team via email so we can review your case and investigate the issue further. We genuinely want to understand what went wrong and explore an appropriate solution.

Regarding your comments about our business model, while some of our products are shipped directly from our partnered manufacturers, we are not a typical dropshipping operation. We work closely with a select network of reputable suppliers who are expected to meet our quality and safety standards.

Our approach allows us to maintain quality control through product selection and supplier checks, provide efficient and reliable delivery through our logistics network, and offer dedicated customer support throughout the purchasing process.

We are actively involved in product selection, quality assurance and customer service, and we take customer feedback seriously.

Once again, we apologise for your experience and would welcome the opportunity to review your case and address your concerns.

Kind regards,
Team Hugbel

Absolutely love my two purchases from Hugbel! The quality is just lovely, and exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to install them. The customer service was also just wonderful; extremely helpful and supportive with shipping updates and information. A rare find. I would not hesitate to purchase from Hugbel again in the future and would highly recommend.

I ordered 3 lights

I ordered 3 lights, and they came in 2 separate orders. When the second order didn't arrive in the expected timeframe, I contacted the support team, as I was on a deadline. The response was fast, the lights were expedited, they arrived just in time for the electrician, and my experience was treated according to the urgency that was communicated. I would buy from Hugbel again.

Great after sales service

I bought some lights which, when installed, did not hang evenly. I contacted Hugbel by email and they responded promptly with some suggestions which I followed, but the problem persisted. It would have been easy for them to fob me off as I live on the other side of the globe (Australia) but they immediately agreed to replace the lights. I asked that they test them before shipping to make sure they did not have the same fault, which they did. No quibbling, no having to pay for the additional shipping or having to return the faulty goods. This was great after sales service from Hugbel. I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Bought 4 lights

Edited to add - I emailed them, several back and forth emails. No resolutions. I even offered to ship the items back for a refund. Never again and highly recommend everyone else to purchase local, there are many lighting companies that trade from Australia that are fantastic and reasonable and have a great customer service.

Bought 4 lights, all 4 faulty in design - they work but the tubes are all varialbe sizes so cannot be fit correctly. Back and forth via emails - generally unhelpful. Stick to local Australian suppliers - I had no problems with my other lights - one I purchased from Nook collections had a faulty transformer - replaced with minimal hassle. This company is making me run circles. Also, general quality of lights looks cheap and plasticky. Will not be purchasing from them again.

After receiving my order

After receiving my order, I noticed that one particular style of light was not true to its colour as shown on the website the pendant light was called Retro Bohemian Rattan in Light Brown. When I received them, they were a dark brown and definitely not light brown. I emailed the customer support team and received a response and solution within 24hours. They were super kind in offering to send these lights in the natural colour for replacement and I was told I could keep the others. It was very easy and positive experience dealing with Hugbel

Gorgeous design, great service

Gorgeous design and a huge range of lights to suit any decor. The lights we bought were perfect for an inner city terrace, but on top of that some installation issues were dealt with promptly and professionally. Excellent customer service, fast response and overall a very good experience.

Terms and Conditions

I was pressed to cancel my order when I became aware of the long shipping time which meant delivery would be past the need time. Online customer support was prompt, polite, and explained that cancellation had only a 24 hr window, which I was within, and while a cancellation processing fee of 60 AUD was policy, this fee was waived.
I am very happy with the outcome.

Poor quality, communication, and customer service

Lights took very long to arrive. When they did, one didn’t work. Instead of sending a replacement, they sent a component without any instructions. I don’t see how I, as the customer, am supposed to dismantle the light, fix it, and put it back together. This is all with 2 weeks in between each correspondence. Awful quality, awful communication, would not buy again.

When they eventually sent the instructions to add the new component to the light, it turned out to be more complex than changing a lightbulb. There are several components to screw and unscrew and fit together. I am already out of pocket having had an electrician/ contractor visiting to install a light that did not work. Will I be compensated for this if the same thing happens again? I don’t see how I should be held liable for a faulty product. A good product should come fully assembled without the customer having to make any adjustments. It is not fair to expect the customer to REPAIR A FAULTY PRODUCT and bear the cost if that repair is unsuccessful.

Great post sale customer support

I recently purchased an LED ceiling light from Hugbel. The product had a great build quality and style. Due to a mistake on my part, I'd ordered the incorrect colour temperature; Hugbel's customer service team were very responsive and polite in helping work through a return and replacement with the product I needed.

SCAM!!!

SCAM!!!! Do not purchase AVOID AVOID AVOID

ONE UEAR LATER STILL WAITING ON AN REFUND.
broken lights, incorrect lights, some lights never came at all!
They agreed to refund and then said ONLY if a remove a honest review I left because I left it because they were ignoring me and not helping
Still waiting on my refund.

Their products are bad. Don’t match the description. Order warm light, you’ll get cold light. We had one light stop working after a week. We ordered x number of lights to all match in the house they didn’t send one out, completely stuffing up the design and never sent it out ! You’ll save your own sanity and time and money buying locally. Do not buy from here

We are not a scam, and we have never ignored your concerns. We have already processed a 50% refund, which you successfully received. We also replied to your most recent email and were waiting for your response so we could continue working toward a resolution, but we did not hear back from you.

It is disappointing to see this review posted again over a year later without any further communication with us. We have always been willing to help and remain committed to resolving any outstanding issues.

Please reply to our latest email or contact us with your order details, and we will be happy to continue assisting you.

Do not buy products from Hugbel

They have a refund strategy where they continue to give you only a percentage of the cost back and you have to continually email them until they finally agree to a full refund and require you to return the product to the USA. They won't give you the return address until they have tried continuously to give you a percentage of the refund. The return address is Hugbel Warehouse, 4700 Robards Ln #109, Louisville KY 40218, USA. They refuse to pay for postage which is substantial if you are posting from outside the USA. I purchased a pendant light which looked nothing like what was pictured and they said that they were not at fault and it may have been due to the lighting. They refuse to pay postage which was over $200. They have the product to resell and I am out of pocket due to their false advertising. Don't purchase products from these guys!

What they don't mention in their response below is that they said they only said that they would offer a full refund without me needing to return the product after I had already posted the product back to them and sent them the receipt. Then they refused to pay the postage. They are providing misleading information below just as they provide misleading information when advertising their products. Don't trust these guys!

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We would like to clarify that, in your case, we issued a full refund of approximately $800 and also confirmed that there was no need to return the item. As the full refund had already been processed without requiring a return, we were unfortunately unable to reimburse the additional return shipping costs after the item was sent back.

We always strive to resolve concerns fairly and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our service. If there is anything further we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Slight delay, but prompt and very professional communication.

My experience was a little mixed. The product got caught up in customs for an extended time which was kind of frustrating, but I understand these things can be outside their control. I was made aware of this after email communication asking what the nature of the delay was about.
They spent no time in correcting and communicating this issue, and the delivery arrived not too long after.
The quality was amazing, and cannot fault it.
