How can I contact you for advice or suppport?
You can text us at 401-450-5706, call 401-847-0228, or email info@newportlampandshade.com. We are happy to assist with lampshade sizing, style advice, order status, or any questions you may have.
How do I choose the right size lampshade?
A good rule of thumb is that the lampshade should be about twice the width of the lamp base and approximately one-third the height of the lamp. However, we believe in the "it just looks right" method. Adjusting the lamp harp or hardware can also help achieve the perfect fit. Feel free to send us a photo of your lamp for personalized advice.

What is your return and exchange policy?
We know picking a lampshade can be tricky and we are here to help you get it right by making the return & exchange process simple with access to a live support team and convenient shipping labels. We accept returns for store credit within 30 days, provided lampshades are in their original condition and packaging. A 10% restocking fee applies. Store credit is valid for one year. Outbound and inbound shipping charges will be deducted from your store credit. Special order, made-to-order, discounted items, and certain personal accessories are not eligible for return. For damaged shipments, please save all packaging and photograph the damage immediately
How quickly will my order ship and where does it ship from?
Most in-stock lampshades, vintage items, and small accessories ship directly from our showroom via FedEx Ground within 48 hours. In-stock table lamps, floor lamps, and art ship directly from our vendors in approximately 7-10 days, unless otherwise noted. In the event that an item is sold out, backordered, or on pre-order, we do our best to notify each customer as soon as possible with the expected shipping time frame. Please note that the dates are estimates and are subject to change.
