Frequently Asked Questions

Vastcart currently serves Houston and its surrounding areas. If you're not located in a area we service you can still buy on our platform, but Vastcart will be unable to provide delivery. For delivery you have the option to:

1. Ask the seller if they can ship it to you directly
2. Arrange for delivery through a third-party

As long as a listing shows local pickup is available you'll be able to choose self pickup at time of checkout! If a listing doesn't show local pickup is available, no worries. You can message the seller to see if they'd be open to the option. 

If you decide to pick up an item yourself keep in mind: 

You should check the item for any discrepancies at time of pickup. If you encounter any issues with the item, just leave it at the pickup location and contact us via email at info@vastcart.com for next steps

If there is an issue with your purchase that requires you to return it and/or request a refund, please contact the vendor directly. A contact form can be found on their respective shop page, as well as on the product page itself. All returns, refunds and purchase issues are handled by the individual vendors. Once a refund is approved it typically takes 5-7 business days for your refund to process. For more information regarding returns and refunds please review our Return Policy

While returns are subject to each individual store's return policy, we are happy to help facilitate this process. We do not charge a return fee, and will be happy to schedule a pickup with one of our drivers. Start your return by lling out the returns form, and a member of our support team will be in touch with you soon after!

We appreciate you then, we quickly route your order to the neighborhood stores you’ve made your selections from. Once they’ve gotten word and had a moment to gather your items, we stop by each store, pick everything up, and then assemble all your items in one package. Finally, we head to your door, where we deliver your package and send you a text message to make sure you know it’s there.

hi

Vastcart delivers all Houston and Surrounding areas, and we ship all 48 states

There are several reasons why your orders may have been cancelled by Vastcart

• The item(s) sold out.
• There is a delay in replenishment for your item(s).

Once the order is placed, all you need to do is relax. We’ll notify you via text message to track the status and delivery of the order. You’ll be notified when:

• the package is ready for delivery
• our delivery associate is on their way to deliver for you
• delivery has been made
• an item is not in the store's inventory (we will offer you an alternate item, or refund the item)

All deliveries are made between between 2pm-8pm daily. So... if you made an order around 1pm, we will be in touch the next day before our delivery window of 2pm-8pm.

Please note, thanks to you, we're getting overwhelming support for NYC stores. Because of this, some orders might be delayed outside of our typical 4:30-9pm delivery window.
