Shipping & Delivery
When will my order be processed?
During business hours, orders are processed and sent to our fulfillment center within minutes of purchasing. From there it takes approximately 1-3 business days to fulfill orders. On occasion during times of high volume orders may take longer.
How do I track my order?
Once your order ships, a tracking number will be sent in a separate email. If you do not receive a tracking number via email, your order has not shipped. If an order is placed over the weekend or holiday, please allow 3-4 business days to receive a shipment notification.
Note: Items may arrive in separate packages.
When should I expect delivery?
We typically ship 3-4 business days after we receive your order. Depending on where you live, you can expect to have your order delivered to you in 4-7 business days.
Do you offer expedited shipping or other delivery methods?
Orders ship from our fulfillment partner in Las Vegas. We do not provide expedited delivery options at this time.
How do I get free shipping?
We offer free shipping for one-time of $50 or more within the continental US. If you apply a promotion code to your order, this will be applied to the subtotal and will not apply to shipping. If your subtotal is less than $55 after the code is applied, a shipping charge will be added automatically.
Orders to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and APO addresses are ineligible for free shipping and will incur a flat rate shipping charge.
I wrote the wrong address, what do I do?
Contact us via our contact page ASAP. We cannot promise shipping address changes after an order has been processed. Once an order ships, we cannot change the shipping address and it becomes the customer’s responsibility. We recommend double-checking your shipping details (especially Google and Shopify autofill) before submitting your order.
How can I cancel my order?
If you need to cancel your order, please contact us via our contact page with your order number and reason for cancellation. While we cannot guarantee that your order will be canceled once it’s processed, we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Do you ship internationally?
Lavapod ships within the US (including Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico) and PO boxes. We currently do not ship to the US Virgin Islands. Please allow extra shipping times for orders outside of the contiguous United States.

If an order was placed via Amazon Services LLC as the seller, the customer will need to contact Amazon directly to return/refund the product. Lavapod cannot authorize refunds/replacements for products sold by Amazon Services LLC.

Brand and Products
Is Lavapod packaging recyclable?
All Lavapod pouches are BPA-free and made of nylon and polypropylene (plastic), so they're classified as #7 (other) recyclable.
What is PVA film?
Our pods are wrapped in PVA film (Poly Vinyl Alcohol). PVA film is a water-soluble, biodegradable polymer that encapsulates cleaning agents, allowing for precise, mess-free application. The pods are sealed in a way that keeps the ingredients stable and contained until they come into contact with water, dissolving instantly and releasing the cleaning solution. For more information on PVA film please see our Blog post here.
How does Lavapod create its scents?
We never use any synthetic fragrances or perfume. Our natural fragrances are created with a combination of naturally-derived essential oils, floral extracts, and other plant-based ingredients. To protect our signature scents, we don’t list our natural fragrance ingredients singularly.
