Lighting Fixtures delivered to Houston, TX — that's the short version. Francis Retail sources chandeliers, pendant lights, and ceiling lights from major retailers clearing inventory, warehouses it in Santa Fe Springs, and ships it 1,550 miles to the Texas metro on a Warp freight lane. The freight price you see before you pay includes fuel — no separate fuel surcharge.
Dimensions matter more than distance for lighting. A 1,550 miles run from Santa Fe Springs to Houston is 23 hours of drive time the carrier eats, not you. What kicks a freight quote off a cliff is when the pallet breaks Warp's 50×50×85 envelope or crosses 850 lb. For chandeliers and pendant lights, that's rare — we design our pallets around the flat-rate ceiling. The handful of SKUs that don't fit (oversized sectionals, long pergola beams, full home-gym sets) get a transparent custom quote instead of a surprise-at-delivery rate.
lighting delivery to Houston: Warp's carrier schedules a residential window with you before the truck arrives. Liftgate standard, curbside default. If you need it carried inside to the room of your choice, add two-man inside delivery (white-glove) at checkout for a flat $300 — no renegotiating with the driver.

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 Houston — FAQ
What payment methods do you accept for Houston lighting orders?
Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, Link, and financing via Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm. All handled through Stripe at checkout. Texas buyers see the same payment options as CA buyers on lighting orders.
What should Houston 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 Houston delivery and a slow damage claim.
What if my lighting item is too large for flat-rate freight to Houston?
Oversized lighting — longer than 85 inches in any dimension, heavier than 850 lb, or multi-pallet — gets a custom Warp quote instead of the flat rate. The product page flags this and the checkout flow shows the actual rate for your specific Houston zip before you pay — oversized pieces are priced before payment, not surprise-billed later.
Can I finance lighting orders shipped to Houston?
Yes. Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm are available at checkout on most lighting orders, including freight shipments to Houston. Financing applies to the full landed cost (product + freight + any applicable Texas tax), not just the product subtotal.
How does lighting ship on freight to Houston?
Most chandeliers and pendant lights fit on a single 50×50×85-inch pallet under 850 lb, which is Warp's flat-rate ceiling on the Houston lane. The crew at our Santa Fe Springs warehouse boxes, wraps, and palletizes each item. If your specific SKU exceeds the ceiling (oversized pieces, multi-box sets), checkout will show a custom quote instead of the flat-rate number — no surprises.
What's included in the lighting freight rate to Houston?
Pickup from our 1,550 miles-away Santa Fe Springs warehouse, LTL freight transit on Warp's Houston lane, curbside delivery with liftgate, and carrier scheduling. The one optional add-on — two-man inside delivery (white-glove) for a flat $300 — is a visible line item at checkout, not hidden inside the base rate.
