Questions
Can Someone Else Pick Up My Dispensary Order in the Bronx?
Yes, a friend or family member can pick up your order from a Bronx dispensary, but they must be 21 or older, present their own valid government-issued ID, and you must pre-authorize the pickup by phone or in person. Each dispensary has its own policy, so always call ahead.
Is It Allowed for a Friend or Family Member to Pick Up My Order?
A good fit if…
- You're stuck at work or home and need someone to grab your order.
- You trust the person to handle your purchase responsibly.
- You can call ahead to authorize the pickup.
Consider another option if…
- The dispensary doesn't allow third-party pickups — some have strict policies.
- Your designated person doesn't have valid ID or is under 21.
- You haven't pre-authorized the pickup in advance.
At BX Buddiez, we allow third-party pickups with prior authorization. Call us at 929-600-7207 to set it up. Most licensed dispensaries in the South Bronx, including those near Lincoln Hospital or St. Mary's Park, follow similar rules. Always confirm directly with the dispensary before sending someone.
What Your Designated Pickup Person Must Bring
To pick up your order at a Bronx dispensary, the person you send needs the following items. Without these, they won't be allowed to complete the pickup.
- Valid government-issued ID — Must show they are 21 or older. A driver's license, passport, or state ID works. Out-of-state IDs are accepted.
- Your order confirmation or order number — Helps staff locate your order quickly.
- Your name and authorization — We'll have your name on file if you called ahead. No written note is needed if you've pre-authorized by phone.
- Payment method — If you haven't paid online, they'll need cash or a debit card. Note that many dispensaries use cashless ATMs, so check ahead.

How to Authorize a Third-Party Pickup in Advance
- Call the dispensary — Contact BX Buddiez at 929-600-7207 and let us know you want to authorize someone else to pick up your order.
- Provide your details — Give your name, order number, and the full name of the person picking up.
- Confirm the pickup person's ID — We'll note that they'll present their own valid ID when they arrive.
- Get a confirmation — Ask for a confirmation number or note to ensure the pickup goes smoothly.
- Share the details — Tell your friend or family member the dispensary address (2935 3rd Ave., Bronx, NY 10455) and our hours: Mon–Sat 9 AM–8 PM, Sun 10 AM–7 PM.
If you prefer, you can also authorize in person when you place your order. For more on how online ordering works, check our page on [[how-does-ordering-online-at-a-dispensary-work|how online ordering works at a dispensary]].
Legal Considerations for Third-Party Pickups in NY
Under New York State law, as long as the person picking up is 21 or older and presents valid ID, there are no specific legal restrictions against third-party pickups. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) requires all sales to be made to individuals who can verify their age, but does not prohibit a designated pickup.
However, the dispensary itself sets the policy. At BX Buddiez, we follow OCM guidelines and require pre-authorization. Also note that New York law allows up to 3 ounces of flower and 24 grams of concentrates per day per transaction — this limit applies to the person picking up, not to you.
