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.

This next Tip of the Day seems quite obvious. However, I cannot tell you how many times I have spoken to frustrated customers during their checkout or when processing an exchange. At this time of year, we sell a lot of Christmas light sets. One simple step can save you a lot of time and frustration.

Check to make sure your light set works before installing them!

Depending on how you install them into your Christmas tree, wreath, or garland, it can be both time consuming and really frustrating to have to take them out and replace them. Some people end up trying to find the problem. If you have ever had a set go out, you will know that trying to find the bad bulb, connection, or fuse is not a pleasant experience. This is much easier to accomplish if the light set has not been installed and is in front of you. Better yet, you can take them back as defective. If you have purchased them from us, just bring them back in a timely manner and we will exchange them for you. Timely manner means within a month or two. We will not be able to replace lights that were purchased from another season and brought out to reuse.
