underage purchases

Every package that we ship utilizes Canada Post's Age Verification service. This means that in order for Canada Post to hand over the package, you must verify that you are of legal smoking age in your province or state. If Canada Post cannot verify your age, they will ship the items back to us. 


Once the items return, final sale items (as outlined below) are non-refundable.

This is absolutely non-negotiable. If you are underage, please do not order items, you will lose money doing so.

During those claims, photos of packaging material and goods will be requested and failure to provide such information will result in forfeit of any claims.
