If my selection is cancelled, what happens?
We do our best to closely monitor inventory levels and keep the Kilohana Lighting Store Web site current, but sometimes, we receive multiple orders for items that are being discontinued and subsequently become permanently unavailable before we are able to remove those products from our site. When that happens, we will notify you that the item has been “cancelled” and may suggest an alternate product. Because we bill you as items are shipped, your credit card will not be charged for any items that are unavailable. If an item is discontinued, we may substitute merchandise of equal or better value. We will call you to inform you that a substitute item is available and will only ship it to you with your permission.
