Unfortunately we are unable to make any item changes to orders once the order has been placed. Alternatively, we may cancel the order if the package has not yet begun processing with our shipping department. Please note that once the package has begun processing, the order will no longer be able to be canceled as the package is being prepped for shipment.
We are only able to cancel orders before the order has begun processing with our shipping department. Once an order has been processed for shipment, the order is no longer able to be canceled/refunded. If necessary you may refuse the package at time of delivery. Once we receive the package back at our facility we will be happy to modify or cancel and refund the order.
If you received a “Gateway error”, and did not receive an order confirmation email or order confirmation page with an Order Number, this may be the result of a declined transaction. A “Gateway Error” indicates that the card used for purchase was declined and a hold was placed on the card but did not go through. Your card may have been declined due to an incorrect billing address entered at the time of checkout (including the name on the card). Please note that the billing information must accurately match the information attached to the card, as any discrepancies will result in a failure to place an order. Additionally, you may verify the billing information on file with your banking institution. If you see a pending charge on your account, it is important to note that this is not an actual charge. Since the card was declined, we were unable to receive any payments from you. Therefore, the pending charge is the result of the card issuer holding the funds from your account that were intended to be used for a purchase. The funds should become re-available to you within 2-3 business days (depending on the processing time of the card issuer). Alternatively, you may contact your banking institution to inquire about expediting the process to release the funds back into your account. If you received a confirmation page with a provided Order Number and received a confirmation email or Reward Points email update, your order is confirmed and successfully placed.
If you believe that an item in your order is missing/incorrect, please contact us immediately, and we will rectify the issue for you. Please be sure to include your order number, along with images of the invoice and products that you received. In regards to the invoice, please send us a complete image of the entire document where all text is visible. Upon reviewing the email, we will send you a prepaid return label at no charge to you to return to item back to us in exchange for the correct product. Please send this information to returns@vapefade.com. Please note that all "Dead on Arrivals" (DOA), Missing, or Wrong Item claims must be reported back to us within 48-hours from the time of delivery. Please ensure to carefully inspect your items upon receiving the package, as it is the responsibility of the recipient to check the contents of the order within the designated time window, and to notify us if any issues are found.
If you have confirmed that the shipping address listed on your order is invalid/incorrect, you may contact USPS to arrange mail-forwarding, or to arrange pick-up at your local post office. Alternatively, if the order’s tracking history shows that the courier returned your package to the original sender, we will be able to make the necessary adjustments to your order once it is received back at our facility. Please contact us via email regarding the matter with your updated shipping address and we will have it on file to update your shipping address. https://www.usps.com/help/contact-us.htm

There is a 24-48 hour processing time for all orders, with most orders sent out for delivery within 24 business hours. We strive to ship orders out as quickly as possible with processing priority to customers with paid shipping. After the processing period, a TRACKING EMAIL will automatically sent to the email on the order to showcase that the package is ready for shipment and sent to USPS for shipping deliveries. Our order processing time is 24-48 business hours once the order has been placed, excluding weekends and holidays. If Free First Class Shipping was selected as your shipping method at the time of checkout, the order will require the full 48 hours to be processed. NOTE: During the busy holiday season or after holiday promotion, processing can take up to 72 business hours. Please refer to the table below for more information on the expected delivery time of your order:
Order confirmation emails are sent within 12-hours of the order being placed. If a contact email was not provided at the time of checkout, or an incorrect/invalid email address was entered, the confirmation email will not be properly sent to your inbox. Please also be sure to check your spam/junk folder if it does not appear in your inbox. Please verify the information at the time of checkout to avoid further issues. If you believe that the email was not received due to the reasons mentioned, please feel free to contact us regarding the matter and we will provide you with your order number along with your tracking number (if the order has already begun processing).
Shipping labels are created prior to the order being shipped, which creates a corresponding tracking number for the package. Once created, you will receive a shipping confirmation email; please note that this does not indicate that the order has been shipped out. During this stage in the fulfillment process the order will process through our shipping department in preparation for shipment. In the event that an item in your order is unavailable, you will receive an email from our customer service team to resolve any issues. Additionally, the tracking will update once the package is received and scanned by the courier.
For this type of situation, especially around the busy holiday season, USPS may scan the package early at a distribution center or local office before it is properly sent out. We recommend waiting up to 72 business hours as your local delivery person will attempt to deliver the package shortly. You can also check with your household or neighbors to make sure the package was not delivered in case you were not around. You can also confirm with your local USPS and delivery person to confirm the delivery of the package as well.
