Are there any discount codes available? If we have discount codes and promotions, please look thru our homepage entirely for full details in the banners there. Also on the banners below our logo on other pages, whether it is stationary or scrolling (device dependent), you can find discount codes there for reference as well, just not as much detail as you will find on our homepage banners. Remember that discount codes do not apply to items on our Clearance Page, EDC Vault items only appearing on that page and Items Already on Sale.
Can I make an addition to my order? We are not able to add additional items to your order. You are welcome to place a 2nd order if your initial order is under "Awaiting Fulfillment" Status. If your initial order is in a "Shipped" Status, it is too late. We can refund you for shipping on the 2nd order when appropriate or if you reach out to us via chat or Contact Us, we can proactively issue you a Shop Credit for $5.99 that you can apply to your 2nd order so you aren't charged for shipping on the 2nd order or waiting for us or your bank/credit card company to refund you the $5.99. We can combine multiple orders into a single package if we have enough advance notice while our fulfillment operation works to get orders out as quickly as possible.
What currency are your prices listed in? US$
Route Package Protection Shows Up in my Cart Automatically, do I need to purchase this? We strongly recommend that all customers purchase Route Package Protection. This protects your package from Loss, Damage & Theft. Opting out of this protection means that your order is not protected and 420EDC will not be held responsible for lost, damaged or stolen orders where the Customer has Opted-Out of this service.
Is shipping Discreet? Yes. We use poly Mailers for smaller order, corrugated white & brown boxes. On larger orders we use USPS Priority Mail Padded Envelopes and Boxes along with white and brown corrugated boxes as well as larger poly mailers.
How will charges show up on my credit/debit card? 420EDC will show up on your statement.
Where do you ship from? 420EDC ships with USPS out of Nobleboro Maine. Nothing we sell drop ships from other locations.
⚠️ Internantional Orders now print on our end with a Domestic Shipping Label that goes to a USPS Facility or 3rd Party Contractor for USPS. From this point, the shipping will update although it may not update prior to this and appear stuck. Please give the order a few days to transport to the International Mail Handling facility. There is no reason for alarm on an international order that says it has shipped but is not showing any updates due to this new way of USPS processing international orders.
Guest Checkout only leaves us with your phone number and email for contact, so be sure to whitelist 420EDC.com via email while checking your Spam Folder/Filter for communications from us. We may text you, so be on the look-out for texts from us too.
In the event of a Failed Verification, Customer will NOT be contacted and the order will be Cancelled and automatically refunded. Log into your 420EDC account to check the Status of Manual Verification. Contact your bank or credit card company for refund status, we have no control over the time frame and every institution is different with how refunds are handled.
Can you under-declare the value of the goods for me to save on Customs Duty/VAT? This is not a request we can accommodate, the fulfillment system on our back-end is automated. We rely on importing and shipping merchandise as a company. Catering to these type of requests puts our ability to move goods into legal jeopardy and our company under increased scrutiny with customs and postal officials. Putting this request into your order notes will delay your shipment as we will contact you to relay the information above and give you the option to cancel your order. Beyond this, Customs can adjust declared value as they see fit, so this type of request is only going to delay your order from being received sooner.
How can I see the status of my order? The link in the order confirmation just takes me to a login page. Login to your 420EDC account to see your order status.
Need to use a Gift Card? We can work with you on that, just use the Chat or Contact Us.
How can I utilize a Shop Credit I received? To use your Shop Credit, please log into your 420EDC account prior to making your purchase. On the checkout pages you'll see a box alerting you that you have a Store Credit to use. You will not get this prompt utilizing "Guest Checkout". Shop Credits must be used during Checkout. The credit can't be refunded to the initial order from which you received credit nor can it be used on another account created using a different email address or for an order using Guest Checkout. Please log into your 420EDC account to take advantage of your shop credit by selecting "Already Have an Account" during checkout, clicking the Ellipsis in the Upper Left on a Mobile Device by scrolling to the bottom to "Sign-In" or clicking the "Head Icon" in the Upper Right on a Desktop.
Do I need to clean the gear received from 420EDC prior to first use? Yes, we recommend that you clean your gear so that it up to your standards for cleanliness prior to your using it. You should also inspect the gear for damage that may have occurred in transit or for any issues that were missed by the quality control team who manufacturered the gear. Please reach out to us if you have questions on how to clean or if you are concerned with any part of your order.
