Yes! High Grade Aid is a private club that requires our members to go through a registration process.

To sign up, go HERE, fill a quick form and attach an image of a Canadian government-issued photo ID confirming that you are 19 years or older and that you have a Canadian address that we can ship to.

Two reasons, to check that you:

  • Are 19 years old and over. We required by Canadian law to verify your age when you purchase cannabis and cannabis products from us.
  • Have a Canadian address. We can only ship to Canada.

* If you submit a foreign ID, that’s OK, so long as you have a Canadian address that we can ship to. Just let us know that you have a Canadian address in the question field that asks how you heard about us.

At High Grade Aid the privacy of our customers has always been and will continue to be our first priority. Under no circumstance do we distribute or give up any of your personal information to law enforcement, other businesses, or any other third party.

The approval process may take up to 24 hours, especially when submitted over the weekend (as we have limited staff). During the business day, it’s much quicker, usually within hours. Once approved, you will receive a welcome email from us.

If you need immediate approval, please contact Customer Service via LiveChat.

Yes we do! For your first order:

2) On your account sign up, you are gifted 125 reward points, value at $5, which you can redeem on your first order. Going forward, for every $1 you spend (not including shipping fee), you will earn 1 point in your account. Redeem 25 points for $1 cash discount on your next order.

IF SHIPPING TO A HOUSE:

As a default, our parcels require a SIGNATURE upon delivery. If you are not home, the delivery company will try again the following day. In case that doesn’t succeed, you will need to pick it up at the nearest depot provided by the carrier.

For convenience, you may request shipping with NO SIGNATURE at the checkout process. However, we consider your tracking status “Delivered” as proof of delivery, whether you actually received your package or not. There will be NO REFUNDS–we are not responsible for any packages that go missing.

If you know you won’t be home to receive your package or if your neighborhood has parcel theft problems, we suggest you get:

  • Canada Post – Flex Address. Your package will ship to your Flex Address at the nearest Post Office.
  • Purolator – Hold for Pick Up. Your package will ship to the nearest Purolator depot.

IF SHIPPING TO AN APARTMENT OR CONDO:

By default, our packages require a signature upon delivery. We highly recommend that your concierge sign off on your package. In case there is no concierge, you will need to share with us your buzzer code. If you are not home, they will try the following day. If this also doesn’t succeed, you’ll need to pick it up at the nearest pick-up depot.

You can also have it shipped to the closest shipping office and held for pick-up.

IF SHIPPING TO A PO BOX, community mailbox or FLEX ADDRESS:

Your package will be sent via Canada Post as they are the only postal carriers that have access to PO Boxes, community mailboxes and Flex Address boxes.

No same day delivery unfortunately.

FYI – It is possible for you to receive it next day (best scenario) as we can ship the same day via Purolator, but your order and payment must come in BEFORE 12PM Pacific Time.

Yes we do!

Yes! When our team packs your order, you will receive a tracking number from us by email. If you didn’t get your tracking number, please check your spam folder to see if it ended up there. If you still can’t find it, please contact us at Live Chat or by email at highgradeaid (at) gmail (dot) com.

As dropoffs happen near the end of the day, please wait until 8 PM EST (5 PM PST) to see updates to your tracking info. If you do not see any movement, please contact Customer Service to follow up.

When we pack your order and create your label, our system will automatically send you a shipping confirmation notification with your tracking number. If your tracking number has no information, it means we haven’t dropped it off at the courier yet for them to scan. Please wait until the end of day (after 5 PM PST) to check for updates to your tracking info.

This is likely human error either by the courier or because your shipping address is incorrect. Postal workers may input the postal code incorrectly and route the package to the incorrect city. This may delay your package by 1 – 2 days before the error is corrected and reroute to the correct destination.

Your package may be delayed due to various reasons (e.g. missed flight connections, national holidays, high seasonal volume, inclement weather, road /airport closures, labour disputes, pandemic, etc). If your package is still in transit past the expected delivery timeframe, please contact Customer Support for the next steps.

Canada Post Delivery timeframe: 3 – 10 business days. As a general guideline, local (we ship out of BC) is 1 – 2 business day, to major centres 1 – 5 business days, and rural locations 3 – 10 business days.

We will initiate a trace with courier to locate your package. The majority of time, your parcel will be found and be delivered to you. If however, it is found that your order is undeliverable or lost, we will either refund your order via store credit or reship your order if stock is available.

Resolution depends on the information on your tracking number and how it was shipped (with signature required or no signature required).

DELIVERED (but you did not receive)

  • Signature-Required Parcel – We consider the signature on your tracking information as proof of delivery, whether you actually received your package or not. Please check with your neighbors to see if they have received your package by accident. Many parcels were recovered this way. There will be NO REFUNDS–we are not responsible for any packages that go missing. If however, there is an error, e.g. delivered but no signature even though it was required, we can look at a resolution. We will either refund your order via store credit or reship your order if stock is available.
  • No Signature Parcel – Sometimes packages can be mistakenly marked as “Delivered” by the courier prior to actual delivery and the package will show up 1-2 days later. Please check with your neighbors to see if they have received your package by accident. Many parcels were recovered this way. We consider your tracking status “Delivered” as proof of delivery, whether you actually received your package or not. There will be NO REFUNDS–we are not responsible for any packages that go missing.

If your parcel arrives “dead on arrival” (DOA) or has a broken seal, please video the parcel damage and unboxing to see if the contents are damaged as well. Please provide the video for our review within 48 hours upon receiving the package. Resolutions may include store credit, reward points, or reshipment. We want to make it right for you!

Yes! We make sure that all our packages are double-sealed and smell-proof, in discreet packaging that does not include our company name or information about the contents inside.

REFUND/EXCHANGE

If for any reason the products you have purchased from us are damaged, defective or incorrect, please document (e.g. video to show the product is not working or photograph if the product is obviously defective. Include in your video/photo your order number, e.g. a handwritten note of the order number next to the product) and contact us within seven days of receipt of delivery to resolve this problem. Please do not continue to consume the product as we may request you to return the product to us for our review. No refunds/exchange for products if it was damaged or compromised due to customer taking it apart.

Resolutions may include store credit, reward points, or reshipment. We want to make it right for you!

If a product has arrived “dead on arrival” (DOA) or has a broken seal you have 48 hours upon receiving the package to notify us. Again, please document (video and/or photograph to provide for our review).

To protect your purchase and to expedite the resolution process, please video the unboxing of your package every time, just in case there are missing or incorrect products. We strive to minimize errors during order fulfillment but sometimes mistakes happen. If you are missing any product, please provide the video as proof that the product was missing at the time of unboxing (video of the complete unboxing from opening the package to taking out each item and checking them), within 48 hours of receipt. Photos are NOT sufficient proof. Without the unboxing video, we cannot provide any resolution.

If you are short flowers (or mushrooms, concentrates, etc), please video or photograph the UNOPENED product on your scale so we can see how much you are short. We strive to minimize errors during order fulfillment but sometimes mistakes happen. We will either provide you with a refund via store credit coupon for the missing portion or ship you the missing portion if we still have it in stock.

TO DETERMINE WHAT THE WEIGHT OF YOUR FLOWERS/MUSHROOMS

1) Make sure your scale is calibrated for accuracy. To check, weigh a Loonie—it should be 6.27g.

2) Weigh your flowers/mushrooms in their original unopened package. Refer to the table below for reference on how much the packaging bag and boveda if any weighs. For example, 1 oz of flower in the packaging is 28g + 7.4g = 35.4g. If your flower package is less than 35.4g, please contact us for a speedy resolution.

ITEM WEIGHT
28g Packaging Bag 7.4 g
14g Packaging Bag 7.4 g
7g Packaging Bag 3.15 g
3.5 Packaging Bag 2.6 g
Boveda – One Pack 1.5 g – 2 g

 

We do not refund flowers for black or pepper ash as we don’t consider it a quality issue. Some factors that may have caused black ash may be how it’s stored, how fast the inhale was, how tightly it was packed, the water content in the flower, what material was used for smoking, and the cure. Sometimes it’s due to the genetics of the flower.

If you received the wrong product (you ordered it but got something different), please document (e.g. video and/or photograph the product to provide for our review. Include in your video/photo your order number, e.g. a handwritten note of the order number next to the product.) and contact us within seven days of receipt of delivery to resolve this problem. Resolutions may include store credit, reward points, or reshipment. We want to make it right for you!

If you received the right product (you ordered it and got what you ordered) but decided that you no longer want it – unfortunately we do not accept returns for exchange or refund for the following reasons:

  1. After shipping and handling by the end-user, the product quality is already compromised.
  2. Due to the nature of the products, returning products (if they are not properly vacuum-sealed to eliminate cannabis smell) is very risky and subject to parcel seizures.

UNSATISFACTORY PRODUCT BASED ON SUBJECTIVE QUALITIES

No refunds on products based on subjective criteria like taste, color, smell and potency as these are individual preferences and/or tolerance level. Unless the product is defective, all sales are final.
