Shipping & Delivery Policy: Fast, Tracked, and Completely Discreet

At Arcadia Extracts, we understand that when you order premium concentrates, reliable and private delivery is just as important as the quality of the product itself. Our fulfillment network is specialized to securely handle delicate extractions, ensuring your items arrive in perfect condition without drawing any outside attention.

From smell-proof engineering to global tracking links, we take every precaution so you can shop with absolute peace of mind.

Stealth Packaging & Privacy Protocols

Your privacy is our highest priority. We use strict stealth packaging techniques to guarantee that no one—from the delivery driver to your neighbors—knows what is inside your package.

Our 3-Layer Protection System

  1. The Stealth Barrier: Products are placed inside completely unbranded, thick cardboard boxes or bubble mailers. The return address uses a generic fulfillment center name, never using keywords like “extracts,” “wax,” or “Arcadia.”

  2. Odor Elimination: Every individual jar, disposable vape, and edible pack is wiped down with isopropyl alcohol, wrapped, and then triple-vacuum sealed in specialized, commercial-grade, smell-proof barrier bags.

  3. Internal Security: We use heavy bubble wrap and form-fitting dividers to stop items from shifting or clinking during transit, eliminating any giveaway sounds.

Pro Tip: Temperature Shielding for Arcadia Wax

Because pure, solventless concentrates can be sensitive to extreme weather, we actively monitor climate conditions along your package’s delivery route. During hot summer months, our team automatically packs your arcadia wax and live rosins alongside specialized, food-grade thermal inserts at no extra cost. When your package arrives, we recommend placing your concentrates directly into a refrigerator for 30 minutes before opening the airtight seal to allow the texture to settle perfectly.

Delivery Guarantees & Lost Package Claims

We stand behind our logistics network. In the rare event that a package experiences an unexpected breakdown during transit, our dedicated customer protection policies are there to cover you.

Incorrect Address Policy

Please review your shipping details carefully during checkout. We route shipments using the exact address string you provide. Arcadia Extracts cannot be held responsible for missing deliveries if the address input was incomplete or incorrect. If you spot a typo in your confirmation email, contact our billing team via support channels immediately before dispatch.

Damaged or Missing Items

If your package arrives with visible damage or items are missing:

  • Take clear, high-resolution photographs of the outer box, internal packaging, and the contents immediately.

  • Do not discard any boxes, packing slips, or vacuum seals.

  • Reach out to our customer care team within 48 hours of delivery with your order number to file a claim for a rapid replacement or store credit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping charges are dynamically calculated at checkout based on your exact location, weight, and chosen delivery speed. We regularly offer promotional free standard shipping thresholds for qualifying order totals.

Will the courier require a signature upon arrival?

To maintain maximum discretion, our standard packages are dropped directly in your secure mailbox or doorstep without requiring a physical signature. If you prefer a signature-required service for high-value orders, please specify this in the order notes during checkout.

Can I change my delivery address after paying?

You can change your delivery address as long as your order status reads “Awaiting Payment” or “Processing.” Once a tracking number has been generated and the parcel has left our facility, we cannot change the address or reroute the package.

What happens if my package is delayed by the carrier?

While we guarantee our processing speeds, occasional carrier delays caused by extreme weather, sorting facility backups, or customs checks can happen. If your package has not moved for more than 5 business days past its estimated delivery window, let us know and we will open an official investigation with the courier.

Do you ship to PO Boxes?

Yes. We utilize postal carrier networks that allow secure delivery directly to standard PO Boxes and residential addresses alike.

My tracking number shows “Label Created” but hasn’t updated. Why?

Carriers often take 24 to 48 hours to scan a package into their digital tracking system after we hand it over to them. If you just received your shipping email, give the tracking link a little time to refresh.

Is international shipping safe for the United Kingdom?

Yes. We have years of experience routing parcels to the United Kingdom. By using completely discreet packing techniques and proper digital routing codes, the vast majority of our UK shipments arrive quickly and smoothly without any custom issues.

Are duties and customs fees included for international orders?

Any local import taxes, customs fees, or regional duties are the sole responsibility of the recipient. We encourage checking your local import regulations if you have questions about regional policies.

What should I do if my tracking link says “Delivered” but I can’t find it?

First, check around your property, porch, or with building management and neighbors—couriers often place packages in tucked-away spots to shield them from public view. If it still cannot be found, contact the courier company immediately to check the GPS drop-off coordinates.
