reply posted Nov-08-2011 “I apologize for your bad experience. But the Item you purchased clearly stated that it was out of stock. The customer had been sent 3 emails letting them know that the item was out of stock and with no response. The order was eventually canceled after no response from the customer. We do try our hardest to inform customers of delays or out of stock items. We also have a stock status that is clearly marked below the item that show a quanity and when the item is out of stock it shows out of stock in red.”

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"The customer support provided by Brent at Lighting the Web is beyond outstanding! Their prices are fair and often times better than competitors. Brent even honored a sale price that expired from the previous weekend for me. Also, when I realized a light fixture that I opened 2 months after my purchase had missing parts, I wrote to Brent and within a few days, the replacement parts were ordered and sent via FEDEX to my home! It doesn\u0027t get better than this!

He ended up locating one for me. I got a killer price on it and was very impressed with the speed that it came.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Lighting_the_Web\/review\/1231753#comment1231753","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Lighting_the_Web.jpg","store_name":"Lighting the Web","username":"robert5396","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I make nearly 75% of all my purchases online and Lighting the Web has got to be the worst company yet! Nothing NEVER happens like they say...Seven Days Shipping? Don\u0027t believe it! I placed an order on July 24...today is September 12 and I still do not have my product! When I look online my order says \u0022processing\u0022 and has been saying this for well over a month now! Stay away from this Company!!<br><br>Lighting the Web\u0027s response was not truthful. I was in the middle of a remodel...if the lighting was out of stock when I tried to purchase it, don\u0027t you think I would have chosen another item? Also, I was told the back order would arrive by 8\/28...that didn\u0027t happen and no one called or emailed. As for emails referenced in their response...I did not get them either. I have my lighting now...very nicely shipped and very good product but customer service is extremely poor. If you have alot of time to wait for your lighting and don\u0027t mind calling THEM for updates...it\u0027s worth an order but if you expect to order and be contacted if there is a problem with the order shipping when expected...look elsewhere.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I have been looking for over a year for an outdoor light to match one I already had. Everywhere I looked it was on back order. I found Lighting the Web and ordered it through them. They did tell me that it was a very popular light and had been on back order in the past but they were able to get it for me. I received it about 9 days later, a perfect match to my other light and a better price.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Lighting_the_Web\/review\/858490#comment858490","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Lighting_the_Web.jpg","store_name":"Lighting the Web","username":"RuthAnna","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Update from previous review (below): I was contacted by LightingTheWeb customer service this week (Aug 8, 2011). It appears they have had some challenges with one of their product providers who indicated to them that they had shipped replacement fans, when in fact, they had not.<br><br>LightingTheWeb indicates they have credited my AMEX for the total amount. I appreciate that they took this action. <br><br>It does appear that LightingTheWeb was trying to provide good customer service, but that they were being undermined by one of their providers who repeatedly dropped the ball.<br><br>I appreciate that ResellerRatings.com and LightingTheWeb.com provided a communication channel to solve this problem.<br>______________________________<br><br>I purchased two ceiling fans from Lighting the Web. After installing the fans, the deep humming sound was terrible. I could literally hear them through the entire house. I called customer service and was promised replacement fans. Nothing came. I sent email follow ups- nothing. I called again and was promised the replacements had indeed been shipped this time. Nothing arrived.<br><br>That is when I realized I was simply being played a sucker. I have several others fans from Lowes and Home Depot, and I would recommend you go there and that you not use Lighting the Web. My experience is Lighting the Web has no customer service, but instead just folks who make false promises hoping you just go away as I did.<br><br>I buy a lot of products online and this is without question, the worst experience I have had.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Lighting_the_Web\/review\/794309#comment794309","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Lighting_the_Web.jpg","store_name":"Lighting the Web","username":"MiaJordan","rating":"4"}, "single");){kind=link}

"One word can explain my experience "AWESOME" ! I found the best price with lightingtheweb and my order shipped with in one day. I do a fair amount of internet shopping and have been disappointed in the past. By these folks are AAA plus in my book. Would by from again"
