If you're shopping for lighting in Washington, District of Columbia, Francis Retail runs a flat-rate freight lane from our Santa Fe Springs warehouse to the Washington metro. We stock chandeliers, pendant lights, and ceiling lights from Costco, Amazon, and Signature Hardware at 40-80% off retail — and ship them 2,670 miles to your DC address by Warp LTL freight, with no markup added to the freight price.
District of Columbia tax handling on lighting orders: unless we've crossed a nexus threshold in DC, Francis Retail doesn't collect state sales tax at checkout — District of Columbia use tax may apply per state law. The practical upshot: a piece of lighting that lists locally in Washington 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 DC door.
Every lighting shipment to Washington includes liftgate — the driver lowers the pallet to ground level on a hydraulic gate so you don't need a dock. For a flat $300, two-man inside delivery (white-glove) brings it to the room of your choice — a visible add-on at checkout.

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 Washington — FAQ
Can I pick up lighting at a Washington freight terminal instead of having it delivered?
On several Washington lanes, the carrier supports terminal pickup, which saves the residential delivery surcharge. Email [email protected] or call (562) 568-8883 before placing the order and we'll confirm whether your specific lighting item supports Washington-terminal pickup and what the savings would be.
Can I finance lighting orders shipped to Washington?
Yes. Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm are available at checkout on most lighting orders, including freight shipments to Washington. Financing applies to the full landed cost (product + freight + any applicable District of Columbia tax), not just the product subtotal.
What happens if my lighting order needs multiple pallets for the Washington lane?
Multi-pallet lighting shipments to Washington still qualify for flat-rate pricing per pallet as long as each stays inside Warp's 50×50×85 / 850-lb ceiling. Checkout totals the per-pallet rates transparently — you see the exact count and breakdown before confirming the order.
Do I need to be home for a lighting delivery in Washington?
Yes — residential lighting freight to Washington requires someone 18+ present at the delivery address to sign the Bill of Lading. The carrier will call to schedule a 4-hour window so you're not waiting all day. If no one's home during the confirmed window, the carrier's actual reattempt and storage charges apply before redelivery.
Can I inspect lighting before it ships to Washington?
Yes — our Santa Fe Springs warehouse is open to the public Mon-Fri 9-5 and Sat 10-4. If you want hands-on eyes on a specific lighting SKU before it leaves for Washington, call (562) 568-8883 to arrange a walk-through. For remote buyers we can also send additional photos or a short video of your exact piece.
What's included in the lighting freight rate to Washington?
Pickup from our 2,670 miles-away Santa Fe Springs warehouse, LTL freight transit on Warp's Washington 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.
