COVID-19 Policy Changes & Precautions
March, 2022 Update:
The Ontario Government has lifted restrictions and mask mandates. You're no longer required to wear a mask while shopping, however, we do have team members that are immune compromised so we ask you take them into consideration while visiting us in-store.
Thank you,

November 20, 2020: Second Shut Down in Peel & Toronto
As of Monday November 23 , 2020 the Province of Ontario has placed Toronto and the Region of Peel into another shutdown to combat the spread of Covid-19. Currently, this does not effect any Vape360 location - our stores will be operating as usual.
We’re still taking precautions to avoid the spread of Covid-19, while ensuring the transaction process goes safely, smoothly, and as quickly as possible. As usual, we still offer curb-side delivery for those who are uncomfortable shopping in-store. To activate curb-side pickup, please order online and select "Pick Up In-Store" as your shipping method.

July 23, 2020: Mandatory Face Masks
Like it or not, face masks are now mandatory in Halton Region. We ask that you show our team members the courtesy of wearing a face mask, as they will be doing the same. If you’re unable to wear a mask due to health or political reasons, please shop online at Vape360.ca.
Entry into our Oakville location will not be allowed without a face mask covering your nose and mouth.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info@vape360.ca

June 2, 2020: Canada Post Delays
Due to Canada Post facing major delays in delivery times, we've added the option to select FedEx as your carrier during checkout. If your package is time sensitive, we recommend selecting FedEx to ensure your package isn't met with major delays. In the coming days we will be working on lowering the FedEx rates and introducing other carriers to ensure your packages arrive in a timely manner.
We're aware of the major delays Canada Post is experiencing and are doing our best to work with them to get your packages delivered as soon as possible. Once packages leave our facility they're in the control of Canada Post and their fulfillment process.
Please note: Shipping rates from all carriers are not determined by Vape360 - package carriers are feeding "Live Rates" directly into our website based on shipping addresses provided by you.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at info@vape360.ca or greg@vape360.ca
Thank you,
