PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL
I have tried to anticipate problems/questions encountered by those who wish to restore/refurbish their oil lamp, and have included many pages that include the names of parts, selecting the right size part, selecting a part that historically appropriate, etc. I am happy to help you, but you must first do some legwork yourself. It is annoying when a person emails me without checking my online resources first.
- EMAIL A PHOTO: Do not email me a photo until you have read this link (also on my home page): emailing a photograph. You may use the postal service to mail me instead. Contact information is below. Do NOT mail me lamps or parts. A photo is almost always more than enough for me to make a recommendation.
- DETERMINE THE RIGHT TERM FOR A PART: also one of the links on my home page & elsewhere: using the correct vocabulary
- SELECT THE CORRECT SIZE: The is no point in guessing. Measure the appropriate part of your lamp, then compare it to my dimension tables:
for N. American lamps and for European lamps
By placing an order for the correct item(s) you will avoid the disappointment, annoyance, and expense of having return and exchange for the correct item(s).
- IN STOCK ITEMS: If an item is not displayed, then I do not sell it. The world's most vast inventory of lamp parts is www.antiquelampsupply.com; try those good folks in Tennessee.
- SHIPPING: I always select the least costly & safest method for my customers. I do not charge for handling or for packing materials (most of which come from the postal service and the trash disposed of by local businesses). If the shopping cart charge seems inordinately high, it probably is exaggerated and I will send you a PayPal refund of the overage. Normally I pad effectively enough so that you will not need shipping insurance. I ship ONLY in USA desinations except for previous Canadian customers. Previous Canadian customers should use the ORDER FORM and be willing to pay using PayPal.
