How does cannabis delivery work?
It depends on the store you choose. Some services require you to phone in like you’re ordering a pizza. Others have an online store that allows you to look through their catalog and select what you’d like in the same way you’d shop online for clothing or appliances.
Take a look at our inventory of premium cannabis products. You can also view our current deals to shop for sales and promotions.
Once you’ve selected your products, you place the order. Most places work on a cash-on-delivery basis, but if it’s not clear, ask them about payment options.
After selecting your order and sharing your address, you can sit back and relax while your order makes its way to you. With our delivery service, you can expect your order within 1 hour.
How do I pick a cannabis delivery service?
With so many services out there, how do you find the best online cannabis store?
Here are a few points to consider:
- Find one that delivers in your area. First thing’s first: check exactly where the service delivers to ensure that it’ll get to you.
- Note the opening hours. It’s important to know their opening hours in advance, as some stores are closed on certain days. We’re open from Monday to Sunday, 8 AM until 10 PM.
- Choose a legal, legitimate store. Unregistered stores might sell less-than-premium products – which can put your health at risk.
- Ensure that it offers the products you’re looking for. Some companies only sell flower, while others also offer edibles, concentrates, topicals, oils, vapes, and accessories.
- Ask about delivery times. How long will you wait for your delivery to arrive? Some stores are faster than others.
If you have any questions about a store, call or email them. Their social media pages might also be able to answer your questions.
How do I choose which cannabis products I want delivered?
As mentioned, many stores offer a wide range of products, from flower to edibles and beyond. If it’s your first time using a cannabis delivery service, you might feel overwhelmed by all the options.
Before purchasing cannabis products, ask yourself how you want it to make you feel. Are you using it to socialize and chill out? Are you using it for sleep? Are you looking for cannabis products with medical benefits?
Once you’re clear on why you want a product, you can choose a product that fulfills those needs. Take a look at the product description. This will tell you, for example, whether it’ll make you feel sleepy, uplifted, or joyful, or whether the product is often used for pain, anxiety, or insomnia.
Which form of cannabis should you choose? That depends on your personal preference. If you enjoy smoking cannabis, purchase some flower. If you dislike smoking, try edible gummies or concentrates. Topicals are great for soothing pain, and vaping is fantastic if you like the feeling of smoking but want something that’s a little easier on the lungs. Pro tip: if you don’t know how to roll cannabis joints, purchase a pre-roll.
Feeling lost? Email or call the store. They’ll be happy to help you choose the best products for your needs and guide you through the delivery process.
