Cash on Delivery Weed: How It Works in Saint John

Cash-on-delivery cannabis means you place your order online, pay nothing up front, and hand the driver cash when your order reaches your door. That's how every order works at Saint John Bud Express, and this guide walks through the whole process in Saint John, from the cart to the knock, so you know exactly what to have ready.

What does cash on delivery mean?

It means the payment happens at the door, not on the website. There's no card number to type in, no online payment step and no card terminal in the driver's car. You settle up in cash when your order arrives.

No card, no account. You don't need a credit card, a debit card or an online account to order. Checkout asks for your name, phone number and delivery address, and that's about it.

Why people like it. Plenty of people prefer not to have cannabis purchases show up on a bank or card statement. Others simply like to pay with cash and see the money change hands. Either way, cash on delivery keeps it simple.

How do you place a cash-on-delivery order?

1. Build your cart

Browse the shop and add what you want. You can mix flower, edibles, vapes, pre-rolls and anything else on the menu in one order.

2. Check out

Enter your name, phone number and delivery address. Start typing your address and pick it from the suggestions so the driver gets an exact location. Add a note if your building has a buzzer code, a side door or anything else the driver should know.

3. Get ready for the driver

Your order joins the next delivery run. Have your cash and your ID together so the handoff is quick.

4. Pay and show ID at the door

The driver checks your ID, you pay in cash, and the order is yours. The whole thing usually takes a minute or two.

Is there a minimum order or delivery fee?

Yes, and they're simple:

• Minimum order: $50 before delivery.
• Delivery fee: $5 per order.
• Free delivery: on orders over $100.

Plan around the threshold. If you're close to $100, it can make sense to add something you'd buy anyway and skip the fee. The fee shows as its own line at checkout, so your total is clear before you place the order. You'll also find any current offers on the promotions page.

How much cash should you have ready?

Have the total ready, or close to it. Your order confirmation shows the full amount, delivery included. Having that amount in hand, or something close to it, keeps the handoff fast.

Don't count on large change. Drivers are out on a run with several stops, so it's best not to rely on them breaking a big bill. Smaller bills make life easier for everyone.

Why does the driver check ID?

You must be 19 or older to buy cannabis in New Brunswick, and our drivers verify age on every order, no exceptions. Have valid government photo ID ready, like a driver's licence, a passport or a provincial photo ID card.

The person on the order should be at the door. If you're not going to be home, it's better to wait and order when you are. A driver can't leave cannabis with someone who can't show ID that they're 19 or older.

ID is about age, not paperwork. The driver only needs to see your date of birth and that the photo is you. For more on the rules, see our guide to New Brunswick cannabis rules and ID, and check the current provincial rules if you're unsure about anything.

How long does cash-on-delivery take?

Most orders arrive in 1 to 3 hours. We deliver in runs rather than one order at a time, so where you land depends on when you check out.

Tuesday to Saturday, drivers head out every 90 minutes from 11 AM to 8 PM.

Your order rides the very next run: check out at 11:15 and it's on the 12:30.

Sunday and Monday, runs go out at 1 PM, 3 PM and 5:30 PM.

Ordering late. You can place an order after the last run of the day. It goes out on the first run the next day. If you want an update on where your order is, call or text 506-721-8850. We go deeper on timing in how delivery runs work.

Where does cash-on-delivery reach?

We deliver across Saint John, including Uptown, the North End, the South End, the West Side and the East Side. Checkout checks your address against the delivery area and will tell you if it's outside it. The weed delivery page has the full rundown.

Is cash on delivery discreet?

Plain handoff. The driver comes to your door, checks your ID, takes your cash and hands over your order. There's nothing that needs to happen in front of your neighbours beyond a quick delivery.

Nothing on your statement. Because you pay in cash, nothing shows up on a bank or card statement.

Your details stay with the order. Your name, phone and address are used to get your order to you and to reach you if the driver can't find the door.

What are the most common cash-on-delivery mistakes?

• Forgetting ID. The driver can't hand over the order without it. Keep it with your cash.
• A vague address. Apartment numbers, buzzer codes and side doors matter. Put them in the order note.
• Not answering the phone. If the driver can't find you, they'll call or text the number on the order. Keep your phone nearby.
• Only having a large bill. Have the total ready, or close to it.
• Ordering when you won't be home. Order when you know you'll be at the door for the next run.

Can you order something new without a lot of guesswork?

Yes. If you're new to cannabis or trying something different, our guides can help you choose before you order: start with the THC edibles guide or the first-time buyer checklist. And never drive high, whatever you order.

The Bottom Line

Order online, get your cash and ID together, and be at the door for the next run. The minimum is $50, delivery is $5, and it's free over $100. Head to the shop to build your order.
