Christmas Lights EtcReviews of christmaslightsetc.com

The customer serviceperson I spoke with was very kind and helpful. The warranty department just ignored my online submissions. Their 3 year warranty is useless and you will need it. More than half of the strands of lights did not work in less than 1 year. Their price is good but the product is not.

I ordered two sets of "twinkle" lights. Only every 6th bulb flashed. Not a true effect. No where in the description was this mentioned. I returned them and between restock fees and their prepaid postage the cost was half the cost of the sets. I asked at FedEx how much the shipping should be and it was half what they took for the postage. I figure they make profit from restocking and overcharging shipping.

Every year I put blue lights on an outside tree so that my daughter will have a blue tree. This year I purchased a blue Christmas tree from Christmas Tree Lights Etc for my daughter. It will not turn on. We have tightened every connection— which required taking the entire tree apart— and it still will not light. I have had to place a string of blue lights on it in order to give my daughter her blue tree. The product is heartbreakingly unreliable.

Horrible company and the worst shipping. I wish I had read the reviews. Terribe rude customer service and will NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN

Our house is the most embarrassing in our neighborhood and we have wasted $700+ dollars. We ordered the C7 warm white LED lights, and received a box of strings and bulbs, which needed to be assembled. We screwed in all the bulbs, plugged them in, and only a few bulbs worked. We called customer service who told us they were not screwed in tight enough, so we went through and tightened every bulb until they all worked. We had the lights installed by a professional company who checked the bulbs to make sure they were all working after installation. The house looked beautiful the first night with all bulbs working. Cut to a week later, 60+ bulbs have gone out and the lights looked terrible. Customer Service sent us "replacements" even though we told them we didn't want them. The "replacements" are just the strings - no bulbs. Absolutely worthless and customer service is just blowing us off now.

Add my voice to the chorus confirming the TERRIBLE customer service! Ordered a string of lights for Christmas decorating. After I tried them out, I liked them so much that I decided to order another string to add to what I had. Completely dismayed when I got the second string and they weren't the same color as the first (think orangey-red instead of a true red). So, even though it was technically the same item, the color didn't match the first string, so couldn't be used with it or even for Christmas decorating in general (unless you like orange lights for Christmas). This was a quality control/product consistency issue on the part of Christmas Lights Etc., not a "I just don't like it" issue. Contacted customer service thinking if this was truly the mom-n-pop shop they present themselves to be, they might check their stock to see if they had some lights that were the right color. But no--they said I got the correct product and basically it was too bad if the color wasn't what I expected (based on buying the EXACT SAME product previously). They did say I could return it for a refund, and I said if I could get a shipping label (meaning a FREE shipping label because the product consistency issue was THEIR fault), that yes, I would (with disappointment) return them for a refund. Absolutely NO mention from them of a charge for returns. And I wouldn't expect to be charged return shipping. No reputable company charges for return shipping when a product is incorrect/defective! Shipping label was sent to me, and I checked the email and the instructions with the shipping label to make sure I didn't have to pay anything. Nothing. No direction to "please review our return shipping policies." Nada. Shipped the lights back and awaited my refund. Well, imagine my surprise when my refund was $10 less than what I paid! They had charged me without any mention of it for the shipping. And this was after charging me a whopping THIRTEEN dollars in shipping to get the item in the first place, which only weighed about half a pound and was smaller than half a standard shoe box! When I called to ask about it, the rep was immediately on the defensive, saying,"YOU WERE TOLD ABOUT THIS CHARGE WHEN YOU GOT THE SHIPPING LABEL!" Lie! She was a real piece of work, by the way, immediately defensive and rude, and when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the company and NOT being told about the shipping charge, she started telling me that she was just customer service and this didn't have anything to do with her. WHAT?? Don't you represent the company?? In a follow up email, all I got was "The return shipping policy is on our website." Well, that doesn't help if nobody ever mentions that there is a policy! Awful, AWFUL people who are just trying to rip you off. I will NEVER buy anything from them again. BUYER BEWARE!

the wrong product was sent, I sent it back and then received an email saying my refund would hit my account in 3 to 5 days. been 2 weeks and still no funds, I thought this was a good company, so I reordered the right product, paid for it and received it. but they haven't followed through on the refund, and now are ignoring my emails. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

Just received all of my order, complete and timely. Put all the snowflakes together and plugged them in all working as expected. Now I pray they will last for years for us.
