I purchased two ceiling lights on the site, because they showed as in stock, and we needed them quickly.
After placing the order, the message read "you will be notified within 24 hours of shipping" or something to that effect. So I assumed all was well.
A few days later, I realized I had never gotten a shipping confirmation, so I logged in to check tracking, and discovered it now read "will ship in approximately 72 days".
I had never gotten any email notification that the item was not in stock / on backorder.
That put our project behind schedule, because we had to order the fixtures from another site that is more reliable.
Very disappointing, and I would not order from 1StopLighting again based on this experience.
And yes, I did check my spam folder, and there were no notifications there, either.
They had a very good discount for first-time customers though, had I actually received the lights from them. That's why I gave two stars instead of one. I guess it was too good to be true.
