How selling lamps and lighting works on JADUZ
Every maker follows the same path from order to money:
- An order comes in
- You accept and pack it
- Pathao picks it up
- The buyer pays cash
- Your earning reaches your wallet
- Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank
Listing, photos and packing
- Measure the lamp in inches with centimetres: overall height from the base to the top of the shade, the shade's top and bottom diameter and height, the base width, the cord length and, for a pendant, the drop. Give the weight in grams.
- State the electrical facts plainly: the holder type (E27, E14 or B22), the bulb you tested with, such as "tested with a 9 W LED bulb", and whether the bulb, cord, switch and plug are included. If an electrician wired it, say so.
- For paper, fabric, jute, cane and bamboo shades, recommend an LED bulb, which runs cooler, and say how far the bulb sits from the shade. For a candle lantern, say whether it takes a real candle or an LED tea light.
- Don't write "certified", "approved", "fireproof" or "100% safe" unless you hold the document for that exact design, and don't call a lamp energy saving: the bulb decides that.
- Selling the shade alone? Put "shade only" in the name and say which holder it fits and the size of the ring that sits on it, so nobody expects a cord or bulb.
- Add at least one real photo with the lamp lit in a dim room, with no added glow or filter, and one in daylight for the true colour and weave. Describe the light in words, such as soft patterned light on the wall.
- Pack the shade in its own box, padded inside and around so it can't be crushed, and wrap glass and clay parts in bubble wrap. Clay diyas pack like pottery: wrapped, padded on every side, in a second box marked "fragile".
- JADUZ accepts lamps and shades you make yourself or in your own workshop. Holders, cords, switches and bulbs are bought in: name them plainly and never call them handmade. Ready-made factory lamps aren't accepted.

Good to know
Where can I sell handmade lamps and lampshades online in Bangladesh?
Bangladeshi makers sell lamps and lampshades through their own Facebook or Instagram page, marketplaces such as Daraz, Dhaka's lampshade shops, and JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold lamp from your door, and the buyer pays cash on delivery.
I make the shade but buy the holder and cord. Can I sell it on JADUZ?
Yes. Most handmade lamps use a bought-in holder, cord and switch. Name those parts plainly and call only your own work handmade, for example "hand-woven cane shade on a bought-in E27 holder". If you sell the shade alone, put "shade only" in the name.
Can I say my lamp is certified or safe?
Only if you hold the certificate or test report for that exact design. Never claim a certificate you don't hold. Instead, give facts a buyer can check: the holder type, the cord, the switch and plug, who wired it, and the bulb you tested with.
Can I sell clay diyas for Diwali and Kali Puja?
Yes. Clay diyas and prodip you shape and fire yourself can be listed on JADUZ. Diwali and Kali Puja fall in October–November, so list them early. Give the size and the count in a set, say whether they're painted, and pack them like pottery, wrapped and padded in a double box.
How much should I charge for a bamboo or cane lampshade?
Start from your materials, your hours and the size, then compare: Dhaka shops priced bamboo and cane lampshades at ৳400–৳3,000 and small table lamps at ৳400–৳800 (Prothom Alo, November 2024). On JADUZ you set your own price, and every order shows your earning before you accept it.
What happens if a lamp arrives broken?
The buyer checks the lamp in front of the Pathao rider before paying. If it's broken or the shade is crushed, the buyer hands the parcel back to the rider and it comes back to your pickup address. To prevent it, box the shade on its own with padding, wrap glass and clay in bubble wrap, and photograph the sealed parcel before handover.
