Delivery desk / store, address, handoff
For Vibe delivery, begin with your specific store and delivery address. Confirm whether that store currently offers the service to that address, then review its ordering instructions and the full transaction details. A general Vibe location page or a city name does not establish delivery coverage, timing or a minimum order.
California cannabis delivery is a licensed retail transaction with an in-person handoff and identity check. It works differently from an unattended parcel shipment. Plan to receive the order yourself with the required ID, and keep the receipt and original product packaging after it arrives.
Store question
Does this specific location currently offer delivery to my exact address?
Order question

Check Vibe delivery through the actual store
Use the location you intend to order from. Vibe Sacramento, Vibe Redding and Vibe Ukiah have their own store pages with location information and live menus. Their pages identify particular premises; a delivery decision still requires confirmation of current service for your address.
If the ordering page does not clearly answer the coverage question, use that store’s published contact details. Provide the complete destination and ask about any service restrictions before choosing products. A city-wide search result can be broader than the actual area served, especially near jurisdiction or service boundaries.
Keep availability, delivery coverage and timing as separate questions. An item can appear in a store menu without establishing that a delivery service is available for your order. Ask for the current terms instead of carrying over a fee, arrival estimate or minimum from a previous purchase.
Confirm the licensed retailer behind the order
DCC’s retail guidance explains that cannabis retailers sell through storefronts or delivery and need a retail license. Under section 15415, deliveries are performed by a licensed retailer’s directly employed delivery staff. The licensed seller remains important even when an online interface facilitates the order.
Which name are you verifying?
Choose a part of the transaction to see what it establishes.
License
Retailer
The licensed retailer is the seller. Its legal business name and license number identify the business behind the transaction.
Interface
Platform
An ordering platform may facilitate the sale. Its presence does not replace the retailer identity required before purchase.
Premises
Store
A Vibe store page identifies a particular location and its contact details. Confirm its current delivery coverage separately.
Handoff
Employee
California requires delivery by the licensed retailer’s directly employed delivery staff, with identification documents available as required.
Section 15415.1 requires a technology platform to make the retailer’s legal business name and license number identifiable before purchase. Use that information to establish who is selling each item. A familiar-looking website or a social-media message is insufficient evidence of a licensed transaction.
A delivery employee must provide the retailer license copy, QR certificate and employee identification badge upon request. Resolve a concern through the retailer’s published contact channel. Avoid treating an unexpected message asking you to change payment or destination details as self-authenticating. This is general information, not legal advice.
Use an eligible physical address
DCC section 15416 requires delivery to a physical address in California. It restricts deliveries to publicly owned land or public-agency-leased land and buildings, with a specific tribal-law provision for trust land. It also prohibits delivery to schools serving kindergarten through grade 12, day care centers and youth centers.
Give the retailer an address it can assess before you place an order. A map pin, a general neighborhood or a plan to meet somewhere later does not resolve the physical-address requirement. If an address is unsuitable, ask the retailer what lawful alternatives its service supports instead of improvising a meeting place.

DCC regulations section 15416 (tribal trust land has its own rule)
Your receipt must list
- The retailer
- Your address
- Each item
- The charges
- Delivery confirmation
DCC regulations section 15420
Ordering through an app? Section 15415.1 says the platform must show the retailer's legal business name and license number before you buy. General information, not legal advice.
For a multiunit property, provide the information needed to identify the intended destination and ask about the handoff procedure. Property policies may create additional practical limits. A delivery to a property also does not establish permission to consume there; DCC’s consumption rules and the owner’s restrictions still apply.
Prepare for the in-person age and identity check
Section 15415 requires the employee to confirm the customer’s age and identity before providing the goods. DCC retail guidance lists government-issued photo identification, military photo ID and passports among accepted documents. Adult-use customers must be 21 or older. Keep a valid accepted document available for the person placing and receiving the order.

State requirements: DCC sections 15415, 15415.1, 15416 and 15420. Coverage and service terms require store confirmation.
All deliveries must be made in person. Do not plan to have the package left outside a door or in a vehicle. If your availability changes, contact the retailer through its stated procedure. Ask how it handles a missed handoff rather than assuming an unattended drop-off is possible.
Keep the order confirmation handy so you can compare what arrives with what you requested. Ask the retailer about payment methods before the employee sets out. A previous order’s method or a statement from an unrelated service cannot establish the terms of the current transaction.
Read the receipt and secure the products
Section 15420 requires a delivery request receipt with retailer identity, the address, detailed goods, charges and delivery confirmation. The customer receives a paper or electronic copy. Review that record while the transaction is fresh so an item or charge question can be directed to the correct retailer.
Retain the original packages, including the batch information. DCC’s consumer recall guidance explains how to identify affected goods if a recall occurs. A saved confirmation is useful for the purchase record; the actual package connects the product to its identifying information.
After receipt, keep cannabis in sealed child-resistant packaging out of sight and reach of children and pets, following DCC storage guidance. Arrange a secure location before accepting the order. For a broader overview of California delivery rules, see the California delivery guide.
Frequently asked questions
Select your intended Vibe store and confirm service for the complete address through its current ordering or contact channel. A general location listing does not establish coverage, timing or minimum order.
Ask the selected licensed retailer about its current products and service for your address. Product availability, device requirements, age verification and the in-person handoff remain specific questions to resolve before ordering.
Confirm current service directly through Vibe Ukiah’s store page or published contact details. Its location and live menu alone do not establish delivery coverage for a particular address.
DCC requires cannabis delivery in person and confirmation of the customer’s age and identity before handing over the goods. Contact the retailer if you cannot be available to receive the order.
