Will the image quality of my photo card match the photograph I upload?
Images printed on a card will not look exactly the same as those developed in a photo lab. For best results, we recommend uploading clear, high-contrast images.

Are there color and font options?
Yes. Sincerely Scent provides a palette of ink colors and various fonts to help you personalize your card.

Will I have help creating my card?
Sincerely Scent makes designing your personalized card easy! Just choose a card and you will be guided through the personalization process, step-by-step. Plus, you can use the preview feature to sample various color, font, and photo options until you’re satisfied with your card.

Can I create a card in another language?
Sincerely Scent offers cards in English and Spanish, and you can conduct the ordering process in either language.

How is my card printed?
Sincerely Scent cards are printed on an HP Indigo 7000 digital press, the most sophisticated digital printing press available.

What kind of paper is my card printed on?
We print your card on a beautiful, 110-pound white card stock.

What size is the card and envelope?
Our cards are 4.96″ x 6.875″ and they mail in 5.5″ x 7.4375″ white scent-barrier envelopes to ensure fragrance longevity.

Can I order just one card?
Absolutely! We do not require a minimum order when sending cards. However, card credits must be purchased in bundles through an Independent Scentsy Consultant.

Am I responsible for the accuracy of my card?
Yes. We recommend you carefully review your card before submitting your order. Sincerely Scent is not responsible for spelling, punctuation, layout, or address errors.

How long does it take to process my order?
We will deliver your personalized cards to the U.S. Postal Service within two business days (Monday-Friday). If you order on a weekend, holiday, or your order processing time crosses a weekend, allow for extra delivery time.

What if I am unhappy with the delivered card?
While we cannot provide refunds for cards that contain spelling and punctuation errors or custom design flaws, we may offer credit(s) toward a future order if there is an issue with the card quality.

What is the purpose of the barcode on the back of the cards?
The back of each card features a unique QR (quick response) code. Most smartphones with Internet access, a camera, and a QR code reader application can scan this code, which will link you to an Independent Scentsy Consultant website to learn more about Scentsy fragrance products or to order Sincerely Scent card credit bundles.

How do I scan the QR code on the back of the cards?
To scan the QR code, you need a smartphone with a QR code reader application, most of which are free.

Will Scentsy share my personal information with any third parties?

Scentsy requires third parties who perform services for us to agree to treat PII about you confidentially and securely.

Are my card contents monitored?
We do not actively review the contents of your cards. How you personalize your card is exactly how it is printed. Therefore, it is important to carefully proof your card prior to submitting your order. Scentsy assumes no responsibility for the message(s) or image(s) displayed in your card.

Delivery and Shipping

To what countries can I send my cards?
We mail to addresses in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, and to APO/FPO boxes.

Am I responsible for postage?
No. Postage is included in the cost of the cards. You can mail to any recipient in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, or to an APO/FPO box using a single credit.

How do I address my cards?
Once you’re finished personalizing your card, you will have the opportunity to enter your recipients’ mailing addresses. Addresses may also be added to the Contact Manager and then imported to your cards. Please remember to always preview your mailing addresses carefully, as we print exactly what you enter. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of your recipients’ mailing addresses.

How are my cards mailed?
All cards are dispatched from our production facility in Texas within two business days of your order. Cards are not processed on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. Cards scheduled to mail in the future are processed within two business days of the scheduled date.
These cards are delivered into the U.S. Postal Service system on the evening of dispatch. We use First-Class Mail to mail to addresses in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Guam, and to APO/FPO boxes, and use First-Class International Mail to mail to addresses in Canada. Once the cards have been dispatched, we are unable to control the delivery process. Cards sent by First-Class Mail can take two to five business days to arrive, and cards sent by First-Class International Mail to Canada can take up to two weeks to arrive. Please schedule your cards to allow for sufficient delivery time.

Can I schedule mailings for a future date?
Yes. You can order and schedule your cards to mail up to 364 days in advance.

Will my recipients’ addresses be automatically added to my Contact Manager?

How are the envelopes addressed?
We print addresses directly onto the envelopes.

Will the Sincerely Scent website give the customer the ability to add a Scentsy product gift certificate to their card?
Not at this time.

Will there be an option for Consultants to receive the cards first, unsealed, to allow the opportunity to write a personal message or enclose a gift?
Not at this time. However, you can create a personal message, scan it, and upload the message just as you would a photo.
Sincerely Scent cards are purchased in bundles.

Can cards be sent just one at a time?
Once you purchase your Sincerely Scent credit bundles, you are free to send cards one at a time or in bulk.

What type of postage does Sincerely Scent use?

We use first-class United States Postal Service stamps.

Scent Spot

Must I select a Scent Spot with my card order?
Yes. Each Sincerely Scent card requires a Scent Spot selection.

How long will the Scent Spot last?
Much like a Scentsy Bar, the intensity of the Scent Spot’s fragrance will vary according to conditions such as humidity and temperature. The fragrance also will be influenced by how long it is stored in your Sincerely Scent card. Each card contains ink that can compete with your Scent Spot’s fragrance over time. For best results, experience your Scent Spot as soon as you receive your card.

Can I safely touch and smell the Scent Spot?
Yes. The Scent Spot is safe to touch and smell. However, despite rigorous testing, some individuals may be sensitive to Scent Spot ingredients. Please keep in mind that the Scent Spot contains fragrance oils, so wash your hands after handling it to prevent transferring these oils to other surfaces. Also, do not place your Scent Spot directly on any finished surfaces, as damage to these surfaces may occur.

Will my cards be impacted by heat or cold during delivery?
Our cards are designed to handle normal mail delivery—in both summer and winter temperature conditions—and general card use.

What is the best way to store my cards?
To best preserve your cards, store them in their original scent barrier envelopes, with the Scent Spot placed inside the cards.

Can I warm the Scent Spot?
No. The Scent Spot is not intended to be warmed or heated in any way. Do not place a Scent Spot in the microwave, oven, dryer, or any other area where the product may come into contact with heat.

What should I do if the Scent Spot is accidentally ingested?
While the Scent Spot is safe for general use, it is not meant to be ingested. If a human or animal swallows the Scent Spot, please contact Poison Control for assistance at 1-800-222-1222.
