Bought an IKEA Tagarp uplighter from Amazon marketplace a couple of days
ago.

Several reviews noted the shade had arrived damaged and lo & behold when
mine turned up the shade was damaged.

Started the returns procedure and it immediately popped up a message
saying my refund had been approved and there was no need to return the item.

Anybody know if this is standard policy for cheap items (< £15) or for
items that seem impossible to deliver undamaged? Bonus points if you can
tell me where I can buy a replacement shade as the lamp will suit me fine.

Damaged and cheap, there is nothing they can do with it so why waste money on
transport.
Amazon returns policy is excellent. I've seen refunds arrive the day after I
delivered the parcel to the post office. Clearly well before they received it
back.
And I've never been queried as to why It was being returned beyond those on
the returns page.

IKEA ?
Or shop around the usual home furnishing stores for something similar. Dunelm
might be a good place to start, or even B&Q.

Araldite if it is not too badly damaged?

I'll have a try. Ironically it gives off a really nice light using a 9 W
LED bulb without shining in my eyes.
