Weed delivery services are becoming increasingly popular as more and more states legalize marijuana for medical and adult use or recreational use. Weed shops themselves provide delivery services and in some areas independent delivery services exist. Marijuana delivery services provide a convenient way for customers to purchase cannabis. Marijuana delivery is very useful for medical marijuana patients. Medical marijuana patients may have a compromised immune system or be too ill to travel easily. However, as with any new industry, there are certain dos and don’ts that weed customers should be aware of when using these services. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the most important things to keep in mind when shopping for weed and using a weed delivery service.
The Dos:
- Do your research: Before placing an order with a delivery service, it’s important to research the company and read reviews from other customers. This will give you a sense of the quality of the products and the level of customer service provided by the company. It is best to get weed delivered directly from the dispensary or provisioning center you buy from the most. Or you may need to find a dispensary you like AND they provide free delivery services. You should be comfortable asking dispensary staff or budtenders if they offer delivery or the weed shop website may advertise delivery services.
- Do verify the driver: Before accepting any delivery, it’s important to verify the identity of the driver. This can be done by asking for a valid ID or by confirming the driver’s identity with the company. When you place an order online or over the phone with the dispensary, ask the name of the delivery person and or what kind of car the delivery person will be driving.
- Do check the products: Once your delivery arrives, it’s important to check the products to ensure that they are what you ordered and that they are not damaged. If there are any issues, be sure to let the delivery driver know and or contact the company where you bought the products right away. Another advantage of buying and getting products directly from a weed shop is only having to deal with the shop if there is an issue.
- Do follow state and local laws: While medical and adult use marijuana may be legal in your state, it’s important to remember that there may be specific laws and regulations that apply to delivery services. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these laws and follow them when using a delivery service. It is also important to ask the weed shop if they are approved by the state or city to offer delivery services. It is important for weed shops to follow local and state regulations and rules.
- Do ask the weed shop staff if there is a delivery fee upfront. Many weed shops offer free or low cost delivery fees. The best pot shops offer free delivery and a special product or discount for your first delivery with them. Many dispensaries have a driving radius or distance where they deliver. Sometimes this information is on the dispensary website.
- Do order and get delivery directly from a cannabis dispensary or provisioning center. It will be more cost effective because you will not have to pay a steep delivery fee or you may not have to pay a delivery fee at all if you order directly from a weed shop. If you have any questions or concerns, you will not have to go through the middleman. There is more accountability if you order delivery services right from a weed shop.
- Do ask if you get reward points or loyalty points for your delivery order. Many dispensaries reward loyal customers with a points system. A good dispensary gives customers one point for every dollar the customer spends. When a customer accrues enough points, the customer can redeem the points for free or deeply discounted THC, CBD, accessories and or merchanise. Ask budtender who helps you if the shop offers a reward program and if reward points are earned when you get weed delivered.
- Do offer a tip to your delivery driver if you received good or great service. Like any other delivery service, a tip is part of the driver’s income. Thank them and offer a tip. A tip is really appreciated by any delivery driver.
The Don’ts:
- Don’t order from an unlicensed company: It’s important to only order from a company that is licensed and registered with the appropriate authorities. Unlicensed companies may not be operating legally and may not be held to the same standards as licensed companies. Whether you order online or call the weed shop to place an order, confirm it is legal and the weed shop has the proper permission to offer delivery services to its customers.
- Don’t give out personal information: When placing an order, it’s important to be careful about the personal information you provide. Many states do require a photo of your driver’s license in order to place an order in store or online. Medical marijuana patients also have to provide a valid medical patient registration card. Each state issues medical marijuana cards to registered patients. Medical cards must be renewed regularly and there is a fee as well. Avoid giving out sensitive information, such as your Social Security number or credit card information, to an unverified company or driver.
- Don’t exceed possession limits: Most states have possession limits for marijuana, and it’s important to be aware of these limits when placing an order. Exceeding these limits can result in legal consequences. The cannabis dispensary knows what the marijuana possession limits are if you are unsure.
- Don’t use the products in public: Even in states where marijuana is legal, it’s important to remember that it is still illegal to use marijuana in public. Be sure to only use the products in the privacy of your own home or in a designated smoking area. There are so designated cannabis lounges in some states where cannabis consumption is legal.
- Don’t forget to check the expiration date: Just like any other product, marijuana and CBD products have an expiration date, it’s important to check it before consuming them to ensure the maximum potency and safety. If you are able to check the products before the delivery driver leaves, it is best.
Conclusion

However, it’s important to remember to do your research, verify the driver, check the products, and follow state and local laws.
