Shipping & Returns
We are proud to ship all of our products from Houston, Texas in the United States.
Most orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with the majority shipping within one business day. During periods of high order volume, major promotions, holidays, or new product launches, processing times may be slightly longer.
Please note that order processing time is separate from shipping time. Shipping transit begins only after your order has been processed and handed over to the shipping carrier.
Order processing time is the time between when you place your order and when it is shipped. During this time, we verify your order, carefully prepare your fragrance samples or full-size bottles, securely package your items, and complete final quality checks before handing your package over to the shipping carrier.
Please note that order processing time is separate from shipping time. Shipping time begins only after your order has been processed and picked up by the carrier.
A business day refers to a day that is considered a working day, typically Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and holidays. It may be different from calendar days.
We take full responsibility for ensuring your order arrives safely and in good condition. If, for any reason, your product arrives defective or damaged, please contact us immediately. We will make arrangements to rectify the situation and ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase. Please notify us of any defect within 5 business days of receiving your order, as claims outside this window may no longer be valid for replacement.
In most cases, the carrier returns the package to the shipper when the address is not complete. When we receive a returned package, we will contact you within 1-3 business days and ask you to update the shipping address to ship it again.
Please check with neighbors, your building office, or household members first. If the package is still missing, contact the shipping carrier and then reach out to us for assistance.
Tracking updates are provided by the shipping carrier and may not appear immediately after your order ships. In some cases, it can take 24–48 hours for the carrier to scan your package and update the tracking information.
Occasionally, tracking may not update while your package is in transit and will refresh when it reaches the next sorting facility or delivery location.
If your tracking has not been updated for more than 5 business days, please contact our Customer Support team, and we’ll be happy to investigate.

Back-Order & Out of Stock
A back-ordered item refers to a product that is temporarily out of stock and not available for immediate shipment. When a customer orders a back-ordered item, the entire order will be placed on hold until the product becomes available. Back-ordered items typically restock within 3 to 14 days, but this can vary. If you’d like an estimated restock or shipping time, feel free to contact us at support@scentsplit.com.
If an order contains a back-ordered or sold out product, we will not ship the order until the missing products are back in stock. This ensures that the customer receives a complete order.
