Do We Ship To You? – Check our Shipping Network

USPS, FedEx, and UPS no longer accepts the shipment of electric cigarettes and vape-related products. We are no longer able to ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Military Addresses, and U.S. Territories at this time. Moving forward, all orders will be shipped out with our network of Local Regionals Carriers.

Due to high volume of parcels and overloaded capacity from all regional carriers through the United States starting in November 2021, we do not have guaranteed that orders will be delivered by Christmas. All orders will be processed as fast as possible from our facility in Los Angeles.

New Shipping Process & Tracking Notifications

Orders will be shipped within 72 hours of placement, with most orders shipping within 24 hours out of our facility. Tracking emails will automatically be sent out once it is shipped unless you are located in certain parts of the Midwest and Eastern half of the US (see below).

If you are located in the Western half of the continental U.S., estimated shipping transit time is 1-3 business days.

Packages en route to the Midwest or Eastern half of the U.S. will require longer transit times (7-20 business days) due to a 2-Step Shipping Process:

1. First, packages are transported via commercial trucks across the country to a regional carrier near you, which can take up to 7 days. In some cases, tracking email and status updates will only be available once the package is scanned at the carrier’s destination hub. 

2. Once received and processed at the hub, the package will make its way to the final destination to the customer.

*All transit times are estimated delivery times and do not include weekends or holidays.
