Ordering
Lead Times
All of our products are made-to-order at our Minneapolis studio by one of our expert assemblers. Lead times vary by product type, quantity, and order variety. All lead times can be found on the individual product pages.
1.ย Quick Build Items:ย 1-2 weeks
2. All other lighting and hardware (color products):ย 2-3 weeks
3.ย Accessoriesย andย samples:ย 1-2 days
For larger orders of 10 or more items, we will contact you if we are not able to meet our quote lead times. Please contact us if you need an order sooner or by a specific date.
Expedited Manufacturing
We offer expedited manufacturing for a 30% fee of the retail value of the order. This reduces the typical 2-3 week lead time to within 1 week from the date of purchase.ย This option is available in the cart page and moves an order to the front of our queue and covers any costs associated with ensuring an order ships ASAP. For larger orders, we will contact you with a lead time estimate. If you have a specific date you need the fixture by, please add a note stating the date and we will reach out letting you know if it is achievable.ย
Expedite fees are non-refundable and reduce assembly time only. Fees do not cover expedited shipping. All orders ship FedEx Ground which requires 1-4 business days.ย If you need expediting shipping as well, we are happy to obtain a quote. Please refer to "Expedited Shipping" in the Shipping section.ย
Custom Work
We do not accept offers for one-time custom designs. That said, we work constantly to build an growing system of configurable products versatile enough to meet the needs of your project and with a variety of options to choose from.
Order Status
You can check the status of your order in one of two ways:
1. You canย log in to your account, which will contain your order history.
2. You can also click the "View Order Status" button on the original order confirmation sent to your email.ย
Please note: If the order has not shipped, it will show asย confirmed. If the order has shipped, tracking details will be uploaded to the order page on your account.
Orders enter the manufacturing process one the order is placed. Once production is complete, we will ship the order from our facility in Roseville, MN and you will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information. If you still have questions about your order status, please contact us.
Order Changes
Order changes requested within 48 hours may be made for no additional cost. After 48 hours, it is likely the order assembly is underway, so changes made after this window are subject to a 10% change order feeย for the changed item(s).
Tell us the item(s), quantity, and option you'd like to change, and we will send you a link to pay for the 10% change order cost. Once the fee is paid, we will update the order and strive to fulfill within the original lead time, but the change may extend the lead time. If you decide to change to a different fixture which costs more, we will send a link to pay the price difference plus 10% change order cost. If the order costs less, we will issue back a refund of the price difference minus the 10% change order cost.
Order Cancellations
Order cancellationsย requested within 48 hours may be made for no additional cost. After 48 hours, it is likely the order assembly is underway, so cancellations made after this window are subject to a 10% cancellation fee and will be deducted from your final return amount
Request a Quote
If you need a formal quote before ordering, please submit a quote request here. A quote will be emailed within 1-2 business days. Quotes for order under $10,000 (excluding shipping costs) are valid for 60 days. Quotes for orders over $10,000 (excluding shipping costs) are valid for up to one year. If an order is updated such that the total falls below $10,000 or if more than one year has passed since a quote was issued, it may be necessary to update the quote.
Sales Tax
Dutton Brown collects sales tax in select states: Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, & New York in order to be compliant with new laws regarding economic nexus. All applicable taxes will be calculated during the checkout process. If you are shipping an order to a state not mentioned above and you see sales tax being charge, simply input your shipping address and select a shipping option and the sales tax will be removed.ย
If you are making a tax-exempt purchase and sales tax appears at checkout, please emailย support@duttonbrown.comย with your resale certificate prior to checking out and we will mark your account as tax exempt for that specific state.
Payments
We require all orders to be prepaid. We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Meta Pay, PayPal, Amazon Pay, checks, ACH or bank transfer. Customers who have established credit terms are required to pay via check, ACH, or bank transfer. Paying via credit card will incur a 3% fee.
Shipping
Domestic Shipping
We offer carrier calculated shipping in the United States via FedExย (and USPS for small packages) which requires 1-4 business days to ship from Roseville, MN. Shipping promotions and lead times apply to the contiguous United States (48 states) only and do not include orders shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, where additional charges and extended delivery times apply. Note we are not liable for packages that are not received but are tracked as delivered. It is your responsibility to send the package to a secure location or add a signature requirement during checkout.
Signature Requirement
We do not require that a signature be obtained for most shipments, but we offer the option to add an "indirect signature" on the cart page. Once the requirement is added, it is not possible to remove. If you are not able to receive the delivery, contact FedEx with your tracking number for additional options which may include forwarding your package to one of their locations for pickup.
International Shipping - Canada and Outside North America
All orders ship to Canada via FedEx International Ground. Customs fees, import duties, and taxes are included at time of checkout. If your country is not available during checkout, please contact us to request a quote. Incoterms are "Delivered Duty Paid."
Expedited Shipping
If you need an order shipped more quickly, please contact us atย support@duttonbrown.com,ย and we are happy to help you obtain quotes from FedEx. Note that expeditedย shippingย options are often relatively expensive and typically only reduce shipping with the courier by 1-3 days. We offer an expeditedย manufacturingย option on the cart page for an additional 30% fee of the retail value of the order total. This typically is a better value for reducing lead time than paying for expedited shipping through a courier. If you still need an order faster, you may both purchase expedited manufacturing and request a quote for expedited shipping.
Incorrect Address or Address Change
Please ensure the shipping address is correct when placing an order. We can update the address until the day an order ships, but after pickup, we are unable to redirect it to a new address. At the courier's discretion, it may be possible to route the package back to us to send again. We are not responsible for covering the cost of lost packages or rerouting fees due to an incorrectly provided address. Replacement products and any extra costs to reroute the package are the responsibility of the customer.
Lost, Stolen, and Misdelivered Packages
We are not liable for packages that are not received but are tracked as "delivered". If there is no signature requirement, FedEx will determine at their own discretion if an area is secure to leave a package. If there is a signature requirement, they will attempt to obtain a signature from someone at the address or nearby. If they aren't able to obtain the signature, they may leave a door tag with further instructions. Check your tracking info for details on the latest delivery attempts.
If a package is marked as "delivered" but cannot be located, it is likely the package is nearby or may still be on a delivery truck and is not yet lost. Often, the package will be delivered the next day. If the package still cannot be found, it is your responsibility to contact FedEx and request a "trace" to locate the package(s).
Damaged Items
Please inspect your packages as soon as they are received. If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, please submit a claim through ourย returns portal. After you provide your order information, you will then be given the option to sumbit a return or claim, please click the claim option. After the claim is submitted, we will review the claim and email you with information regarding the next steps. You will need to provide photos of the damaged product along with the packaing. Please do not install the product because this will void any eligibility for a replacement.
