Claret Wall Sconces

I worked with Ray on securing the best price for 5 of the Claret Wall Sconces. Ray was professional and gave me a great quote. I look forward to working with Ray/Capitol Lighting on future projects.

Mix up? Fix up!

I ordered two gorgeous pillows from their home decor selection. I received two that were not what I ordered. One email was all it took. The new ones arrived quickly, and a prepaid shipping label was used to send the other two back.
Things go wrong with every merchant. The difference is how they handle it. 5 Stars for Capital Lighting.

Great Experience

We recently purchased a significant amount of lighting and ceiling fans from Capital Lighting in Boca Raton FL. Mike Bitchatcho was our Sales Consultant and was great to work with. Mike is very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I recommend working with him, if you're in the market for lighting or ceiling fans.

Online companies cannot always achieve…

Online companies cannot always achieve perfection; we should all understand that.

My chandelier was damaged by a third party who contracts for 1-800 Lighting to deliver their product. While this was an unforeseen issue, the representative for 1-800 Lighting, Ted Mattos, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to resolve my issue quickly. While 1-800 Lighting did nothing wrong, I was really impressed with their customer service. Ted was very patient with me. He sensed my frustration and listened attentively to my concerns. He included his supervisor, Neavan Mekawi, on the email communications. Neavan was excellent! I really appreciated their collective efforts toward a successful resolution. There is no doubt in my mind that Ted and Neavan are truly about customer satisfaction. They were there for me before, during and after the sale by showing great communication, patience, and willingness to resolve the issue. Thank you both for showing how it’s done - true customer service.

A Customer For Life.

Madison was the first person who would listen to me about my very troubling ordeal, ordering these light fixtures that I paid for but have never received and it’s been about six months it felt good to have someone to listen to me even if she wasn’t able to resolve my problem, but she gave the phone number to me of a person who could thank you Madison for Great!service

Wendy P. is the best!

I just had the pleasure of working with Wendy P to pick out lighting for my home renovation and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Wendy provided amazing customer service from our very initial contact. She was very knowledgable and took the time to understand my exact requirements and preferences.

What impressed me the most was her familiarity with the inventory and her ability to recommend alternatives or counterparts from other lighting companies, which greatly expanded my possibilities. This not only helped me find what I was looking for, but also assured that I made informed decisions.

Wendy's warm manner made the entire process pleasant, and she was extremely responsive. She was always accessible to answer my inquiries and offer advise when necessary. I sincerely appreciate her assistance and experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Wendy P to anyone searching for lighting options.

Thank you, Wendy, for your excellent service!

Wendy Pellegrino gets top rating

Wendy Pellegrino was a friendly voice who knew her product, could check inventory, could help evaluate the wisdom of combining several features (such as remote switch and motion detection) and finally made the process of ordering very pleasant.

Excellent Customer Service

I have been looking for 3 sconces from House of Savoy. They were unavailable, but according to Capitol Lighting they would be available mid Jan. On a Sunday I emailed customer service to get an affirmation that it would be available as it was needed for bathroom remodel. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response from Wendy P that same day, assuring me
she would contact company and let me know Monday. She followed through and gave me an excellent quote. I immediately purchased. Wendy helped place the order. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Wendy. She is friendly, professional and competent. She goes above and beyond.

Wendy Pelligrino was FANTASTIC in helping with my initial order. She helped me identify all the proper components and we couldn’t be more happy with the result. (She even found a 25% discount for our order when I called!) When one of the fixtures arrived cracked, Christi helped issue a prompt refund and Wendy followed up to see if we needed help finding a replacement! Impressive team!!

Called the Palm Beach Gardens location…

Called the Palm Beach Gardens location to order a replacement capacitor for my Minka ceiling fan, since Capital Lighting is an authorized dealer and I have a great experience working with Chris Surrena from that store purchasing over $7000 of lighting. I was told Chris no longer works there and they won't order Minka parts unless I had purchased that fan from them. I questioned their policy since Minka had told me to contact any authorized dealer. I was then transferred, disconnected twice, and on my third attempt sent to voicemail. This was handled so poorly. Maybe after getting the price for the replacement part, I could have decided to buy a new fan and two others so all my fans would match. Needless to say they won't get another dollar from me or any more referrals. I called Minka back who couldn't understand how I was treated and for customer service sent me the part for free. I will certainly buy Minka again, but not from this store.

Wendy was wonderful to work with

Wendy was wonderful to work with. One of my two items came in damaged from the factory. Called Wendy and she immediately took control of the issue. We received immediate satisfaction and now are waiting for the replacement. Wendy was great to work with in all aspects of our purchase right through delivery. Thanks very much!!!

Very good customer service PLUS BEST PRICING

My rep was Wendy,
And I got a quote that was substantially better priced than all the other online retailers for the unique cool Inca Round Pendant. Wendy is a 25 yr veteran in the lighting industry and even owns an Inca Round Pendant in Chrome finish, and thinks it looks fab in her place. I have not received my orders yet but have had a lot of problems with another online retailer with them blatantly being guilty of FALSE ADVERTISING on the Inca Round Pendant, but was very happy w the cust svc from Wendy AND ABSOLUTELY ESCTATIC w the pricing.

What more can you ask for?
(at least in the world of lighting, lol)
