We're thrilled to have you in the LeafLink community! We understand you may have a few questions about our services. Our partners are trained to provide white-glove customer service, and support you each step of the way until you're comfortable scheduling services on your own.
Will you teach my team how to use LeafLink?
Absolutely! We provide customers with personalized training to ensure everyone on the team has everything they need to succeed.

What kind of products can be stored or shipped?
Our partners store and ship shelf-stable, wholesale cannabis packaged goods. We can also store and ship perishables that need climate-controlled environments. Just let us know if you have special handling or storage needs. Note that all products must be compliant with the state's seed-to-sale tracking laws, with the appropriate labels on them.
What paperwork needs to accompany the products?
Please provide digital copies of the seed-to-sale-tracking-compliant, shipping manifests and the relevant COAs. The manifest should include the warehouse's address and license information. Your Account Manager can provide the details for your market. If our shipping partner utilizes a cross dock, we'll let you know, so you can check the appropriate box in your seed-to-sale compliance account. Seed-to-sale tracking tags should be present on the product upon arrival.
How do you handle rejected/ returned orders?
The product will be quarantined in a restricted location. It will not be available for orders until our investigation of the rejection/ return reason is resolved. If it is a product quality issue, our fulfillment partners will arrange for the product to be returned to the seller's processing facility. If it is a compliance issue, our fulfillment partners will communicate with your account manager to resolve the issue. If the product has been delivered to the buyer and the transporter has departed, the buyer needs to speak with the seller to resolve the issue.
Can drivers pickup cash payments?
Our partners can provide this service in some markets. Ask your account manager if this service is available in your area. While you're chatting, ask about our digital payment solutions.
How often do you conduct inventory cycle counts?
The warehouse team conducts cycle counts quarterly. As products are shipped to customers, LeafLink will automatically update inventory quantities in the system to ensure records are up to date and accurate.
How do I know when a cycle count is completed?
We will notify the account's ops point of contact via email.
