Does Puff Pipes ship orders on weekends?
We only ship orders Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
How much does shipping cost?
Currently we have flat rate shipping as work on weighing and measuring all our products. We do offer free shipping on orders over 200 dollars.
How soon can I expect my order to arrive?
We require at least 48 business hours from the time of purchase to process all Standard shipping retail orders. Unfortunately, a specific delivery date and time for your shipment cannot be provided since arrival time relies heavily on where the package is being shipped (i.e. rural or urban area) and which shipping service you choose. All tracking information will automatically be emailed to you after the shipment has been collected and processed by the carrier. Please check your junk/spam folder before contacting us about not receiving this automated email. (Please see our Estimated Shipping Time-Frame post for a more specific breakdown of Canadian delivery dates.)
Is Puff as prompt with processing orders during peak times and sales as the rest of the year?
Due to the high volume of orders during sales and peak times (like Christmas) we require up to 5 business days for processing and completion of Standard shipping orders.
Does Puff ship outside of Canada?
Currently we only ship within Canada.
Can I have my order shipped to an address other than the one listed in my billing information?
The billing address must match the shipping address --even if your purchase is a gift.
What if I need to update my shipping information?
No problem! Change your shipping address on the website during your order and contact us at [email protected] as soon as you are able to ensure your new shipping address has been saved into our system. If you need to change your shipping address after your order has been shipped, please note that package redirection during transit is possible; however, there are substantial fees (which the customer is responsible for) and the shipping time will increase by an additional 2 to 3 business days depending on the re-direction address.
Does Pipe Puffs deliver to P.O. Boxes?
We do not ship to P.O. Boxes.
Why doesn’t my tracking number work?
Though your order may have already been processed, it often takes several hours for the tracking information to enter the carrier’s system. We ask that you please wait at least 6 hours after you have received your confirmation email from the carrier before you attempt to track your package. If you are still having difficulty please contact [email protected].
Does Puff Pipes require I sign for my package?
Yes, we have an adult signature (19+) requirement for all orders.
What will my package look like?
We ship all of our orders discreetly in plain, brown boxes with nothing on it but your name, a shipping label, an invoice, and fragile stickers.
I refused my package upon delivery; or, I refused to sign for the delivery and was denied my package, am I eligible for a refund?
All of our deliveries require the adult signature (19+) of the recipient in order to ensure that no minors are receiving our products as well as to eliminate fraudulent purchases. For this reason, we cannot remove the signature option.
We do offer refunds for situations like this. Once we receive the package from the carrier we will refund the purchase price of your items, minus the shipping cost and its tax, to the credit card used to make the purchase. Puff does not cover the shipping cost on refused or denied packages since it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all information submitted regarding personal identification and shipping address are correct and facilitate a successful delivery.

Puff will not accept returns on one-off pieces (pieces which are not part of regular production such as heady pieces) and any merchandise which is discontinued or on sale.

Some returns may be subject to a 15% restocking fee, but all returns must be approved and accompanied by a Return Merchandise Authorization form. Please contact [email protected] if you require this form. Puff is not responsible for items returned to us without an RMA form.

Item measurements are listed in the descriptions of many of the products on our website.
1.28 Do the photos and product information on the website reflect EXACTLY what I will receive?
We take all of our product photographs in house, unless we are provided with hi-resolution images from the supplier; so, nearly all of the photos on our website are genuine photographs of products from our stock. However, not all products can always be shown (ex. there are too many different mixed-colour combinations of one style pipe). There are also instances where a supplier may slightly alter their design: moving or changing their logo, slightly altering the colour, etc.
Handmade glass items especially tend to fluctuate in size, colour, and sometimes overall appearance. Having said that, if the design has changed significantly we will upload a new image to our site.
1.29 What if I simply don’t like my item(s) and want an exchange?
No problem. We definitely allow exchanges, but exchanges are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Puff is not responsible for the shipping costs incurred for re-shipping the exchange item(s) to you, that is the sole responsibility of the customer. All exchanges must be accompanied by an RMA form. Please contact [email protected].
1.30 Is there a restocking fee if I receive the wrong product or the right product in the wrong size? What if I receive the right product in the wrong colour?
There are no restocking fees if you receive an incorrect product or you receive the correct product in the incorrect size. Since colour can be very subjective (i.e. blue vs. navy, purple vs. violet, etc.) your return/exchange may be subject to a 15% restocking fee if we feel that you were, in fact, sent the item you chose is the correct colour.
1.31 Is there a fee to cancel my order?
Only if the order has already been packaged and the shipping arranged, then a 15% cancellation fee will apply.
1.32 How long does it take for my credit card account to be refunded?
Once a refund is approved, we ask that you please allow at least 5 business days for your refund.

These rates are based on the weight and size of the package, where the package is being shipped, and the value of the package itself. Puff is not responsible for any taxes and/or duties charged upon delivery. Puff is not able to control the actions executed by any Customs agency and therefore denies any responsibility for said actions including delayed or denied deliveries.

2.14 I am an International customer and I have yet to receive my shipment. Where is it?
Although it is rare, your shipment is either being held up in Customs, or it has been misplaced temporarily by the carrier. If misplaced by the carrier, please contact the carrier's customer service department with your tracking number for more information on your package's whereabouts.
In regards to Customs, Puff is not able to control the actions executed by any Customs agency and therefore denies any responsibility for said actions. There is no indication of what is contained in your package; however, Customs reserves the right to inspect any package they wish. This may take a few business days and generally, your package will ship out normally after such an inspection. That situation notwithstanding, if your purchase is not in line with the laws which pertain to the delivery location, customs may deny the delivery completely and send your order back to us. In this case, Puff will refund your account with the purchase price of your items, but not the shipping costs since it is the customer’s responsibility to confirm the legality of receiving glass pipes, vaporizers, and other such items in the country, province, territory, and/or state where the order will be shipped.
