Why does lighting cost so much in Chattanooga? Because local retail in a metro of 567K people (median household income near $53K) can charge what it charges. Francis Retail sells liquidation inventory from our own warehouse and ships it to your TN address on a flat-rate freight lane built for chandeliers and pendant lights.
Tennessee tax handling on lighting orders: unless we've crossed a nexus threshold in TN, Francis Retail doesn't collect state sales tax at checkout — Tennessee use tax may apply per state law. The practical upshot: a piece of lighting that lists locally in Chattanooga with tax baked in often costs materially less when you order from us and pay flat-rate freight, even after freight is added. We do the math on the landed-cost table below so you can see exactly what a specific SKU costs delivered to your TN door.

How lighting freight delivery works
Curbside + liftgate
Standard freight is curbside with liftgate: the driver lowers the pallet to your driveway or curb. Moving it inside is up to you unless you add inside delivery.
Two-man inside delivery (white-glove)
A 2-person crew brings your items inside your home, to the room of your choice — not just the curb. One flat $300 per order. Assembly isn't included.
Lighting shipping to Chattanooga — FAQ
Do you charge Tennessee sales tax on lighting orders shipped to Chattanooga?
We do not currently collect Tennessee sales tax on lighting orders shipped to Chattanooga. Tennessee use tax may apply under state law — check with a TN tax professional if you have questions about your obligations as a buyer. Stripe Tax recalculates at final checkout if our nexus status has changed.
How long does it take to ship lighting from Los Angeles to Chattanooga?
Warp's current transit estimate for the 2,010 miles Chattanooga lane is 6 business days after pickup from our warehouse, plus 1-2 days handling to prep the pallet. The carrier calls you 24-48 hours before the delivery window so you can pick a 4-hour slot.
What brands of lighting ship to Chattanooga?
Our lighting inventory is sourced from Costco, Amazon, and Signature Hardware overstock plus truckload liquidations from other major retailers. For Chattanooga orders specifically, you'll see the same brand-name chandeliers, pendant lights, and ceiling lights that retail stores carry — at 40-80% off their retail prices — because our sourcing isn't tied to a local TN distribution network.
What should Chattanooga buyers know before ordering lighting freight?
Three things: (1) measure your doorways, stairs, and access route — lighting ships palletized, not flat-packed, and confirming fit and access is the buyer's responsibility; (2) be home for the delivery window (4 hours, scheduled 24-48 hours out); and (3) inspect every piece before signing the BOL, write any damage on it, photograph everything, and keep the packaging. That last one is the single biggest difference between a smooth Chattanooga delivery and a slow damage claim.
What does inside (white-glove) delivery cost on Chattanooga lighting shipments?
Checkout offers one delivery add-on: two-man inside delivery (white-glove) for a flat $300. A 2-person crew brings your lighting inside your TN home to the room of your choice instead of leaving it at the curb. It doesn't include assembly. Without it, freight to Chattanooga is curbside with liftgate.
Do lighting items shipped to Chattanooga come with a manufacturer warranty?
Manufacturer warranties usually do NOT transfer on liquidation lighting — check each product page for your specific unit. Where a warranty does survive, claims on Chattanooga orders go to the manufacturer directly with your purchase record; we can also help if you get stuck. Undisclosed damage or defects are covered separately by our 48-hour reporting window.
