Back in early November, I wrote the original “Tip of the Day: Common Sense Tip for Christmas Lights“. Today, after hearing a story about a Santa Ana warehouse employee, I decided to expand on this tip.
The Santa Ana employee had purchased a lit tree from us. She got home, placed the tree, decorated it, and then plugged it into the wall. Unfortunately, none of the lights were working. After trying to fix the lights, it was determined that the tree was defective. To bring it back to us, not only did the tree need to be taken down, all of the ornaments had to be removed as well.
So, to expand on this tip of the day:
From the original tip:
Check to make sure your light set works before installing them!
Add to this:
If you have purchased a pre-lit garland, tree, or wreath, check to make sure the lights work before you start decorating the item.
