Terms & Conditions

Payment Information, Discounts and Coupons:

Coupon Redemption:

To redeem a coupon, simply proceed to checkout as you normally would. Under the Checkout icon on the top of the page is "View Cart". Coupon code can be entered here.

Enter the coupon code in the Coupon Code field, then click Submit. The screen will then refresh itself, and you will see that the coupon amount has been deducted from the total.

Payment Options:

Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay or Check or Money Order. Orders over $1000.00 may be sent via bank wire transfer.

Credit Card:

Just follow the on-screen prompts to complete your order. We do not retain or store credit card information. To ensure cardholder participation and reduce fraud, all orders paid with a credit card must ship to an address on file with the issuing bank for your Credit Card. Generally, this is the billing address; however, Monster Gardens, is happy to accommodate alternate shipping addresses for your order IF the alternate shipping address requested on your order is also notated on your account (you can do this by calling the toll free number on the back of your card). Additionally, please be advised that Monster Gardens will not accept pre-paid credit cards or gift cards, as merchants have no chargeback recourse with these transactions, and it is considered an unsecured payment.

Online Security Measures:

Orders paid via PayPal must ship to the confirmed address on your PayPal account. If your address is unconfirmed by PayPal, Monster Gardens will not accept your payment, as it is considered un-secured (PayPal does not offer merchant dispute in chargeback scenarios involving un-secured payments). (Paypal will not insure items sent to un-confirmed address).

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

Monster Gardens is currently receiving PayPal payments from non-US customers! Like U.S. orders, Monster Gardens will only ship your order to the confirmed address listed on your PayPal account. PayPal is currently reporting confirmed addresses of customers in Canada and the U.K.! If PayPal sends us your payment confirmation, but is unable to report your confirmed address, your payment will not be accepted, and we will contact you via email with alternate payment options. Whether or not PayPal can confirm your address for fraud prevention is based upon several variables which Monster Gardens cannot control, such as participation of your Issuing Bank (with PayPal) to confirm addresses, etc. Monster Gardens cannot distinguish this factor until your payment is received. New international customers with orders over $225 will be required to do a wire transfer or Western Union payment. Contact [email protected] for wire transfer/Western Union instructions.

Personal Check or Money Order:

Select Check or Money Order from the first drop-down and complete the checkout process. Make sure your check or money order is made payable to Monster Gardens and send to the address listed at the bottom of this page. Note: Personal checks (as well as your order) will be held until they are cleared by the bank. We will hold your order for up to 15 days until payment is received. If payment is not received within 15 days your order will be cancelled and you will have to place a new order. Your order will ship as soon as Monster Gardens has received your payment. If we encounter any problems with your order we will try to contact you as soon as possible. We cannot ship your order until we have received payment for the correct amount, so please respond to our messages. Make sure to reference your order number somewhere on the check or money order. This would be considered an emailed order. So if paying by check/money order, once you have the list of items for purchase, please email order to [email protected]. We will contact you (within 24 business hours) with the total including shipping and tax (if applicable).

Shipping Information:

You may place an order either through the Monster Gardens Online Store, email, fax, or by regular mail. Most orders are shipped within 72 hours (does not include weekends or holidays). We reserve the right to use whichever carrier we deem as the best option in regards to transit time and cost effectiveness.

All orders are discretely packaged! Items come in blank boxes. shipping label reads "SPW Inc".

Many online hydroponic retailers advertise cheap hydroponic equipment, though they often make up for it with excessive shipping and handling charges. Monster Gardens does not charge any extra shipping/handling charges or box fees! We only charge our commercial discounted UPS/FEDEX rate for shipping. We also pay for UPS / FEDEX / USPS insurance on all shipments to cover unforeseen situations. Customers are only responsible for packages once they arrive at their location. If you have any questions please call us.

Important Information Regarding Shipping & Transit Times:

FedEx picks up packages Monday thru Friday and delivers residential Tuesday thru Saturday and commercial Monday thru Friday. UPS picks up and delivers packages Monday thru Friday only; USPS picks up and delivers Monday thru Saturday only (excluding certain holidays). This means that if you place an order and select 2nd Day Air as the shipping method, it will arrive 2 business days after the package has been picked up from our warehouse.

This means that if you place an order at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Standard time, we will process and pack your order immediately, but UPS will probably have already picked up for the day, which means that your order will be picked up the following Monday (assuming Monday isn't a holiday), and delivered to you 2 days later (in this case, Wednesday). This is the case with every company that doesn't personally drive the package to your doorstep. So, in short, if your order doesn't arrive as quickly as you had expected, it doesn't mean that we are not doing everything possible to expedite your order. We really are! If you have any questions about how long it will take for you to receive your order, please call us at (707) 588-8844 or [email protected]. Also, you can go to fedex.com, ups.com and usps.com to get the answers quickly.

Most orders are shipped within 3 business days. It may take longer if we are temporarily out of stock on an item, but to minimize the wait, we may have the item drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer/distributor. If we have an item that you ordered shipped directly from the manufacturer/distributor, you may receive your order in two separate shipments instead of the order arriving complete. The bottom line is that we value your business and we will do everything possible to ensure that your order gets to you as quickly as possible.

If we are out of an item that you ordered, we will attempt to contact you within 2 business days. We will let you know when the item will be available to you and give you the option of waiting for the item to ship, offering a comparable product or having the item removed from your order.

Please understand that when you choose Next Day, 2nd Day or 3 Day shipping, this means from the day the order leaves the warehouse. Orders not being shipped ground must be received by 11 am or they will ship out the following business day. Keep in mind that it takes us time to gather your order and get it ready for shipping, but we promise to do it as fast as humanly possible!

Saturday delivery is and additional cost on expedited shipping and is not included in the transit time. Sunday is also not included in transit time estimates for expedited shipments.

Policies, item availability, and prices are subject to change without notice. We are not responsible for any typographical errors in this website.

Shipping to AK or HI or Internationally:

Because of the added cost to ship to remote areas, if you are purchasing an item marked “free shipping” or "free shipping over $149", there will be an added cost assessed. Free shipping or Free shipping over $149 only applies within the Contiguous U. S.

International Customers:

Shipping charges estimated online represent carrier charges only. Additional fees (customs, duties and brokerage fees) will be due upon receipt of your shipment as assessed by your country’s governing policies. This is common for carriers such as FedEx, UPS, USPS, and their competitors. We are not responsible for any customs, duties, brokerage fees, etc. imposed by the country in which the order is received. FREE SHIPPING DOES NOT APPLY TO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS.

Monster Gardens is located in the United States. Any customer ordering goods to be shipped to another country is considered an Importer, and as such should research these charges. Your total cost represented during checkout does not account for the fees your country may charge you for receiving goods from Monster Gardens.

Return Procedure:

For items that need to be returned (and qualify), you must fill out an RMA Request Form within your account profile. Please include explanation. Our processing department will issue you a return merchandise authorization (RMA) number to include with your return. They will also send return instructions, including shipping information. To begin the return process, log into your account, and select "My Returns" from the left sidebar of your account page. From there you will find a button to create a return on the right side of your screen. You can also reach out to [email protected]

All return must be pre-authorized:

Items will be deemed abandoned if we are not contacted within 30 days.

We photo package contents prior to shipping. If something is missing please let us know so we can check our records & confirm the contents. If your package has a purple card inside you have a split shipment or a back ordered item.

30-day warranty return policy on most items purchased through our website or retail store, for store credit, (after 30 days the warranty exists through the manufacturer), with the following exceptions:
Special Order items may or may not be returnable. If they are, they will be subject to a restocking fee of between 20%-30%, assuming they are in new condition and unopened. The manufacturer warranty, however, will still apply and the item will still be repaired or replaced if there is an issue during the warranty period. If an item is considered a Special Order item, the return policy is different depending on the product. Please contact us for more information on Special Order Items (usually includes any product shipped by freight or drop shipped by manufacturer) We encourage customers to contact us to find out the exact return policy on these items before purchasing them to avoid any potential problems that may occur. Used Trimmers and trimming products may not be returned at any time. Manufacture warranties can be used if the product is defective.

Some items are too large to ship via FedEx, UPS or USPS and must be shipped on a truck. Please be aware that Monster Gardens will not refund shipping charges on items. If there is an “approved” return of a freighted item, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay return shipping. These charges may be substantial when using a trucking company, so we encourage customers to consider this when ordering such items.

Ineligible items:

• Returns for store credit can only be made within 30 days of receiving your product(s).
• Exchanges can only be made within 30 days of receiving your product(s), be in resalable / new condition; restocking fees may still apply.
• Merchandise must have not been damaged in freight transit.

• Grow Tents are not acceptable for return.
• Trimming machines, extraction bags, pressing machines, hydroponic systems, are not acceptable for return.

Unopened Items:

If the item is unopened and undamaged, and qualifies for a return, you will receive a store credit voucher, minus a restocking fee of 15-20% and any shipping and handling fees (unless otherwise noted in the product description). Special-order items, as well as items that are shipped directly from the manufacturer/distributor may also be subject to a restocking fee. A pre-authorized return will qualify for store credit redeemable through the website toward a future purchase(s).

Non-Defective Items That Have Been Opened and/or Used:

Because of the nature of our products, we cannot accept returns of opened/used items (if you have decided you no longer need it). We do not sell or resell opened or used items. All sales are final.

Undeliverable Packages:

Packages returned to us by a shipping company as undeliverable will be refunded less the cost of shipping. The return may also be subject to a restocking fee and/or handling fee. Every attempt is made to reach the customer regarding the delivery before it is returned to us as undeliverable.

Trimming and Extraction Machines and Products:

Used trimming and/or extraction machines and products cannot be returned for any reason. Any warranty issue arising on a used trimming and/or extraction product must be submitted directly to the manufacturer. We do not guarantee performance of trimmers, pressing devices, pruners, tumblers or extraction bags. Lack of performance WILL NOT qualify the product for a return.

We do not identify the use of these machines as these are experimental products. We do not endorse any manufacturer statements or claims pertaining to trimmers, pressing devices, pruners, tumblers or extraction bags.

Defective Items:

During the 30-day return period, any defective items will be handled by Monster Gardens. We may use the manufacture for the returns process at our discretion at any time. After the 30-day return period, refer to the manufacturer's warranty (with certain products we will allow returns past the 30 day period). In an effort to provide its customers with the highest degree of customer service, Monster Gardens may, at its discretion, honor the manufacturer's warranty after the 30-day return period, however, you will be responsible for shipping and handling fees. If an item is returned to Monster Gardens as defective, and it is determined that there was nothing wrong with the product, you will be responsible for any shipping and handling fees incurred. This will also be the case if anything has been done to the product to void the warranty (in which, the item will be returned to you).

Broken Bulbs/Glass:

Monster Gardens does not accept returns on bulbs or other glass products in which the glass has been cracked or otherwise broken. If you feel the glass was damaged during transit, please refer to the "Items Damaged Upon Arrival" section. (damaged items are the responsibility of the shipping company)

Items Damaged Upon Arrival:

If you suspect that items were damaged during shipping, inform the driver or simply tell the driver that you are refusing the package because it has been damaged. Damages that occur during shipping are the responsibility of the shipping company, but we will be happy to help expedite the matter and get you replacement items ASAP. A replacement will not be granted until either we, or the shipping company, have had a chance to physically verify the broken item. Please do not hesitate to report damaged items, as some shipping companies have strict time requirements that limit their liability. We will need your phone number to schedule the pickup of the broken item.

International Customers:

All shipping charges, customs, duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer whether or not the item is warrantable. These fees will also apply to any shipment of a replacement or repaired item sent back to you.
