THCist

At THCist.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we stand behind the quality of our products and are committed to your satisfaction. Our generous refund policy is designed to make your shopping experience risk-free, encouraging you to try our THC and cannabis-related products with confidence. We believe that by offering hassle-free returns and refunds, we build trust and loyalty, ultimately helping you discover the perfect products for your needs.

This Refund Policy applies to all purchases made through THCist.com (the “Site”). By making a purchase, you agree to the terms outlined below. Please note that this policy complies with applicable federal and state laws, including those governing cannabis and hemp-derived products. Due to regulatory restrictions, certain limitations apply to ensure safety and compliance.

1. Eligibility for Refunds and Returns

We offer a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on all products purchased from the Site. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return it for a full refund, exchange, or store credit, subject to the following conditions:

• Time Frame: Returns must be initiated within 30 days of the delivery date. Proof of purchase (e.g., order confirmation email or receipt) is required.
• Product Condition:
• Unopened Products: Eligible for a full refund to your original payment method.
• Opened or Partially Used Products: Eligible for store credit or exchange if you are unsatisfied with the product’s performance, taste, or effects. This allows you to try our products without worry, knowing we have your back.
• Defective or Damaged Products: If your product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect (e.g., wrong item shipped), we will provide a full refund, including shipping costs, or send a replacement at no extra charge. Please contact us within 7 days of delivery for defects.
• Exclusions: Due to health and safety regulations, we cannot accept returns on perishable items (e.g., edibles past their expiration date if opened), personalized or custom-made products, or items marked as “final sale.” Gift cards and digital downloads are non-refundable.

We encourage returns for any dissatisfaction—whether it’s potency, flavor, or overall experience—to help us improve and ensure you find what works best for you.

2. Return Process

Returning a product is simple and straightforward to minimize any hassle:

1. Contact Us: Email our customer support team at returns@thcist.com or use the contact form on the Site. Provide your order number, reason for return, and photos if applicable (e.g., for defects).
2. Receive Instructions: We’ll email you a prepaid return shipping label within 1-2 business days. For eligible returns, we cover the cost of return shipping to make it free for you.
3. Ship Back: Package the item securely in its original packaging (if possible) and ship it using the provided label. Include any accessories or documentation.
4. Processing: Once received, we’ll inspect the item and process your refund, exchange, or store credit within 5-7 business days. Refunds will be issued to your original payment method; store credits are valid for 12 months and can be used on any future purchase.

No restocking fees apply—we want to make this as easy as possible to encourage repeat business.

3. Refunds and Credits

• Full Refunds: Issued for unopened, defective, or incorrect items. Expect the refund to appear on your statement within 3-10 business days after processing, depending on your payment provider.
• Store Credits: Offered for opened items or as an alternative to cash refunds. Credits are emailed immediately upon processing and never expire, giving you flexibility for future purchases.
• Shipping Costs: Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (e.g., defective product). We provide free return shipping for all eligible returns to reduce barriers to trying our products.

4. How This Policy Boosts Your Shopping Experience

Our policy is crafted to increase your confidence in purchasing from THCist.com. Studies and industry best practices show that generous return policies lead to higher customer satisfaction, repeat purchases, and positive word-of-mouth. By allowing returns on even partially used products (via store credit), we remove the risk of buyer’s remorse, making it easier for you to explore our wide range of THC-infused edibles, tinctures, topicals, and accessories. This approach has been shown to improve retention and sales in the cannabis industry.

5. Legal Compliance and Limitations

• This policy adheres to U.S. federal and state regulations for hemp-derived THC products (containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC). We cannot process returns that violate local laws, such as interstate shipping restrictions.
• In states with specific consumer protection laws, you may have additional rights. For example, California residents may reference the California Consumer Privacy Act for related data handling.
• We reserve the right to deny returns if we suspect abuse (e.g., repeated returns without genuine issues) to protect our community.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Refund Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
