Refund and Returns Policy
Thank you for shopping with Lakingsdistroshop.com. We want customers to be satisfied with their orders. This Refund and Returns Policy explains when products may be returned, replaced or refunded.
By placing an order through [lakingsdistroshop.com], you agree to this policy.
1. Return eligibility
You may request a return within 14 calendar days of the date your order is marked as delivered.
To qualify for a return, the product must be:
-
Unused and unopened
-
In its original packaging
-
In the same condition in which it was received
-
Sealed with all tamper-resistant seals intact
-
Accompanied by the order number or proof of purchase
Products that have been opened, used, activated, damaged after delivery or removed from their original packaging are not eligible for return.
Contact us before sending any product back. Returns sent without prior approval may be refused.
2. Non-returnable products
For health, hygiene, safety and quality-control reasons, we cannot accept returns for:
-
Opened or used disposable vapes
-
Opened vape devices, pods, cartridges or e-liquids

Products damaged through misuse or improper storage

Products returned without their original packaging
-
Clearance, promotional or final-sale products
-
Gift cards or store credits
-
Free gifts, samples or promotional items
-
Products purchased from another retailer
-
Products returned after the applicable return period
A dislike of a product’s flavour, strength, colour, design or personal experience does not qualify the product as defective.
3. Damaged, defective or incorrect products
Inspect your order immediately after delivery.
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery if your order:
-
Arrived damaged

A replacement product

Store credit
-
A partial refund

A full refund
We may require the affected product to be returned before issuing a replacement or refund.
4. Device malfunctions
Electronic devices and disposable vapes may occasionally experience manufacturing defects.
A product may qualify as defective when it:
-
Does not activate when first used
-
Arrives with a significant leak
-
Arrives with visible physical damage
-
Cannot charge when charging is supported
-
Does not function when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions

To request a return, contact:
Email: [lakingsdistro420@gmail.com]Order-support page: [akingsdistroshop.com/contact/]

We will notify you after receiving and inspecting your return.
When a refund is approved, it will be issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days. Your bank or payment provider may require additional time to display the refund in your account.
Refunds cannot normally be sent to a different card, bank account or payment method.
Depending on the circumstances, the following amounts may be deducted:
-
Original shipping charges
-
Return shipping costs
-
Non-refundable payment-processing fees, where legally permitted
-
Costs resulting from missing or damaged return packaging
-
Any discount associated with a returned promotional bundle
9. Exchanges
We do not guarantee direct product exchanges.
When an exchange is approved, we may:
-
Send a replacement
-
Issue store credit
-
Refund the original product so the customer can place a new order
Replacement products are subject to availability. If the original product is unavailable, we may offer a comparable product, store credit or a refund.
10. Order cancellations
Contact us immediately if you need to cancel or change an order.
An order may be cancelled only if it has not been processed, packed or transferred to the shipping carrier.
Once an order has entered fulfilment or has been shipped, it cannot normally be cancelled. The customer must follow the applicable return procedure after delivery.
We cannot guarantee that cancellation requests will be received before order processing begins.
11. Incorrect delivery information
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate:
-
Full name
-
Shipping address
-
Apartment or unit number
-
Email address
-
Telephone number
-
Age-verification information
Lakingsdistro is not responsible for delivery problems caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer.
If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect address, failed delivery attempt or customer refusal, we may refund the eligible product price after deducting the original shipping cost, return shipping cost and other non-refundable carrier charges.
12. Age-verification failure
Lakingsdistro sells age-restricted products exclusively to customers aged 21 or older.
Orders may be cancelled when:
-
The customer does not pass age verification
-
The customer refuses to provide required verification
-
The identity information does not match the order
-
An adult signature cannot be obtained when required
-
We reasonably suspect an attempted underage purchase
When an order is cancelled before shipment because age verification cannot be completed, the product amount will be refunded. Non-refundable verification or payment-processing costs may be deducted where legally permitted.
If a shipped order is returned because the customer was unavailable, refused identification or failed an adult-signature requirement, shipping and carrier return fees may be deducted from the refund.
13. Lost, stolen or missing deliveries
Contact us as soon as possible if tracking shows an unusual delay or indicates delivery when you have not received the parcel.
Before contacting us, customers should:
-
Check the delivery address on the order
-
Check around the delivery location
-
Ask household members or neighbours
-
Contact the shipping carrier
-
Allow reasonable time for an incorrect delivery scan to update
We may assist with a carrier investigation, but we do not guarantee refunds for parcels confirmed as delivered to the address provided at checkout.
Claims involving suspected theft may require a police report, carrier claim or signed statement.
A replacement or refund will be considered after reviewing the tracking information, carrier investigation and circumstances of the order.
14. Delayed or unavailable orders
We aim to ship orders within the estimated timeframe displayed during checkout or in the order confirmation.
If we cannot ship an order within the promised timeframe, we may:
-
Provide a revised shipping estimate
-
Request permission to continue with the delayed order
-
Offer an alternative product
-
Allow the customer to cancel the affected order for a refund
If an ordered product becomes unavailable before shipment, we may cancel and refund the affected item.
15. Refused and undeliverable packages
A package may be returned to us when:
-
Delivery is refused
-
The address is incomplete or incorrect
-
The customer fails to collect the package
-
Required identification is not presented
-
An adult-signature requirement is not completed
-
The carrier cannot safely deliver the package
After the package is returned and inspected, we may refund the eligible product amount minus shipping, return-carrier charges and other non-refundable costs.
Opened, damaged or legally non-returnable products may not qualify for a refund.
16. Chargebacks and payment disputes
Contact us before filing a payment dispute so we can attempt to resolve the issue.
Submitting a dishonest or fraudulent chargeback may result in:
-
Suspension of the customer’s account
-
Cancellation of pending orders
-
Refusal of future orders
-
Submission of order, delivery and communication records to the payment provider
This section does not limit any lawful rights you may have through your card issuer or payment provider.
17. Manufacturer warranties
Some products may be covered by a separate manufacturer warranty.
When a manufacturer controls the warranty process, we may direct you to the manufacturer for repair, replacement or technical support. Manufacturer warranty terms are separate from this Refund and Returns Policy.
18. State consumer rights
This policy does not remove any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable federal or state law.
Where an applicable law provides greater protection than this policy, the applicable legal requirement will control.
19. Policy changes
We may update this Refund and Returns Policy when our products, delivery methods, business practices or legal obligations change.
Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
