Top FAQs

Age verification

Northerners’ products are only intended for consumers of legal age. Northerner have a robust system in place through which we use the latest technology to ensure that minors can not purchase from the Website.

You must verify your age and identity through our third party supplier Yoti using one of two methods: (1) Age estimation via selfie scan, applying a Challenge 25 policy; or (2) Uploading your government-issued ID which is verified for authenticity and complete a selfie scan to ensure identification with the government-issued ID.

If you fail to complete the age-verification within 24 hours, the order will be cancelled and payment will be refunded. 

Yoti isn't working

Sometimes the scan might not work when using the same age verification link multiple times. If the link doesn’t work the first time, we recommend waiting for a new email reminder with a fresh link, please use the link provided in that email to complete the age verification.

 

You can also try using a different browser or device, such as switching from a computer to a smartphone.

 

Additionally, please ensure that camera access is enabled in your browser settings, as this is necessary for the facial scan to work correctly.

 

If you continue to experience issues, please contact our Customer Service team.

How do I track my delivery

Once your order has been dispatched, we will send a notification email with the shipment number so you can track your parcel.

You can also log in to My Pages and find more detailed information about the status of your order there.

 

Here you can find the current status and estimated delivery date of your package. To track your shipment, please enter your order number (found in your order confirmation) and your zip code. 

How do I return products?

Returns are accepted if they meet the following criteria:

 

  • The product is unused and in it's original packaging
  • You notify us within 30 days of purchase
  • The return reached us within 14 days from when the return form was issued

Due to health and hygiene regulations, opened vape products can't be returned, even if defective. If your vape is faulty, please contact our Customer Service team for assistance.

Yoti Age Verification

What is Yoti?

To place an order, you must be 18 years or older. Age verification is required at checkout, and the cardholder must also be at least 18.

 

We use Yoti for age verification. During checkout, you will be automatically redirected to Yoti, where you will complete verification via a facial scan. If you appear close to 18 or if the scan fail, you may be asked to upload a photo of your ID for verification.

Yoti isn't working

Sometimes the scan might not work when using the same age verification link multiple times. If the link doesn’t work the first time, we recommend waiting for a new email reminder with a fresh link, please use the link provided in that email to complete the age verification.

 

You can also try using a different browser or device, such as switching from a computer to a smartphone.

 

Additionally, please ensure that camera access is enabled in your browser settings, as this is necessary for the facial scan to work correctly.

 

If you continue to experience issues, please contact our Customer Service team.

Is Yoti safe?

Yes, Yoti facial age estimation technology is safe and privacy-focused. It does not require any personal data. Instead, it estimates age by analysing facial features in an image.

 

  •  The image is processed as a pattern of pixels.

  •  The technology determines an estimated age based on learned patterns.

  •  A liveness check ensures that a real person is taking the selfie.

  •  All images are permanently deleted after verification.

I haven't verified my age but the order total is pending?

If the Yoti age verification process is not completed within 24 hours of you first placing your order, it will be automatically cancelled.

 

Additionally, the pending transaction will be deleted, and no funds will be deducted from your account.
