Shipping

  • Where do you currently ship?

    We ship to anywhere in the Continental US, Hawaii, Alaska and Canada.

    We are working hard to expand our shipping capability!

  • How much does shipping cost?

    For ‘Try’ and ‘Buy’ orders, all orders above $39 will be granted free shipping! Any orders under $39 will receive specified shipping rates based on the zip code it is being delivered to. Expedited shipping options are also available at checkout for an additional fee.

    For Subscriptions, all subscription orders will receive free expedited shipping.

    We do not offer free shipping for Canada yet. We are working hard to make this happen!

  • What is your shipping policy to Canada and what are the estimated shipping times?

    We currently have a limit of 2 fragrance items per order.

    We offer 2 shipping methods for our Canadian customers: Duties Paid or Duties Unpaid.

    Our Duties Paid rates are provided by Passport shipping and allow for duties and taxes to be calculated at the time of checkout. This represents the all-in rate for shipping and customs, so there are no surprise charges upon delivery. We typically see estimated shipping times between 14-28 days after fulfillment depending on the delivery location.

    Our Duties Unpaid rates are provided by DHL and do not include duties and taxes calculated at checkout. Customers will most likely need to pay for duties and customs at time of delivery. We typically see estimated shipping times between 10-14 days for Standard or 7-10 days for Express after fulfillment depending on the delivery location.

  • After I place my order, how long until I receive it?

    Orders typically take 2-4 business days to process and for our team to ship out to you! 

    If using standard shipping, orders can take up to 5-7 business days to arrive. After placing an order, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your order details. You’ll receive a subsequent shipping confirmation with tracking info once we ship.

  • I've placed my order already. Can I change my shipping address?

    Due to our fulfillment and ordering process, shipping addresses cannot be changed once the order has been processed, but we will do everything we can to try! If you need to update the shipping address on your order, email us at hello@snif.co as soon as possible.

    To help us assist you better, please include your order number and the full shipping address you would like your order updated with.

    For subscriptions, you can change your shipping address for recurring orders. First, create an online account here using the same email address for your account that you used to place your subscription order. Once you create an account and log in, scroll to the settings section at the bottom of the account portal home page. Click the “change address” button and add your new shipping address.

    Please note: if your recurring subscription order has already shipped, you won't be able to skip or modify that shipment. We will send you an email notification three days before every recurring order is placed so you can modify it in advance.

    Most scent collaborations are limited edition and not a part of our at-home trial program. However, most full size (30 ml) fragrances come with a sample and are available to return. For more information on this option, please see our Returns section.

  • Can I cancel or make other changes to my order after checkout?

Product Quality And Formulas

  • Are Snif fragrances vegan?

    Yes! Our products are cruelty-free and made without any animal products or byproducts.

  • Are Snif fragrances natural and clean?

    Our fragrances are formulated with a high-end blend of natural and synthetic components for a product that performs. They are made without preservatives, phthalates, parabens, formaldehydes, or endocrine-disrupting ingredients (amongst others!). 

    We follow the highest standards across the industry for clean fragrance, and our fragrances are formulated to exclude a comprehensive set of ingredients that do not meet these standards.

  • Are Snif candles natural and clean?

    We use a high-end, hand-poured blend of soy and vegetable wax. Our candles are Conscious Beauty Certified and formulated using the same industry-clean standards as our fragrances. This means they are non-toxic and made without phthalates, parabens, formaldehydes or endocrine-disrupting ingredients (amongst others).

    We also use 100% pure cotton wicks that are designed to promote clean burning and limit mushrooming at the base.

    Our candle formulas are made in the USA, which allows us to ensure the quality and claims behind our candles.

  • How long do the candles burn for?

    Our 6 oz candle is designed to perform and burn for 35+ hours.

    Our 8.5 oz (full size) is designed to perform and burn for 50+ hours.

    Our 50 oz size candle (XL) is designed to perform and burn for 200+ hours.

  • How should I care for my Snif candle?

    To get the most out of your candle and to ensure an even burn, allow the entire surface of wax to melt the first time you light your new candle.

    During the burn, try to limit each burn to a max of 4 hours, make sure the container is on a suitable surface, and keep it away from drafty areas.

    In between burns, trim your candle wick to ¼” in before lighting. This will help reduce smoke, maximize your candle’s burn time, and reduce soot, carbon build up, and mushrooming.

    In regards to safety, make sure to keep your candle's surface and wax pool free of debris. Never leave your candle unattended and do not leave your candle lit for more than 4 hours. 

    Blow out your candle before placing the lid on top and NEVER use your lid to extinguish the flame.

    Your candle should be retired when there is about 1/4" of wax left. Remove the remaining wax and then recycle the glass.

  • Are Snif laundry products natural, clean, and safe on skin?

    We've formulated our Everything Wash Laundry Detergent and Liquid Scent Booster to the highest industry clean standards. Our laundry product formulas are safe to use on your skin and clothes, and contain no microplastics. They are made with premium and fabric-safe ingredients, and have been clinically tested and dermatologist tested to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing. They are also non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free.

    In addition, the packaging from bottle to box has been designed with beauty, function, and sustainability in mind. The packaging is 100% compostable and recyclable!

  • How much Everything Wash Laundry Detergent will I use?

    Our Everything Wash Laundry Detergent bottles are equipped with a measuring cap for ease of use and made from post-consumer plastic. To measure, pour detergent in the top of the cap before adding to your washing machine.

    Our recommended dosage is 1 cap (15 ml) for a small load, 2 caps (30  ml) for a medium load, and 3-4 caps (45-60 ml) for a large load. To measure, fill the top of the cap to the 15 ml marking and repeat as needed for your load size.

  • How should I use the Everything Wash Laundry Detergent?

    For best results, follow the suggested care instructions on your garment labels. We recommend washing with cold water to maintain the integrity and colors of your clothes, intimates, sheets, and towels. For heavily soiled items, use warm water.

    Our recommended dosage is 1 cap (15 ml) for a small load, 2 caps (30 ml) for a medium load, and 3-4 caps (45-60 ml) for a large load. To measure, fill the top of the cap to the 15 ml marking and repeat as needed for your load size.

    Add Everything Wash Laundry Detergent  to your washer and start your preferred cycle.

  • How much Liquid Scent Booster will I use?

    Our Liquid Scent Booster bottles are equipped with a measuring cap for ease of use and made from post-consumer plastic. To measure, pour the scent booster in the top of the cap before adding to your washing machine.

    Our recommended dosage is 1 cap (10 ml) for a small load and 2 caps (20 ml) for a large load. However, you may increase or decrease based on personal preference. 

  • How should I use the Liquid Scent Booster?

    We recommend starting with 1 cap (10 ml) for a small load and 2 caps (20 ml) for a large load. However, you may increase or decrease based on personal preference. 

    Our Liquid Scent Booster and Everything Wash are both designed to be added to your washing machine before the wash cycle is started. Make sure to add your scent booster into the fabric softener tray so it dispenses later on in the wash cycle.

    Our Liquid Scent Boosters are designed to deliver fragrance through wash and dry cycles at any level.

  • Can I use the Liquid Scent Booster with a different brand of laundry detergent?

    Yes! However, the strength of our Liquid Scent Booster will most likely supersede any scented detergent. If using a different brand of laundry detergent, we recommend using an unscented or lightly scented detergent to get the full-effect of your Snif Liquid Scent Booster.

  • Can I see an allergens list?

    Of course! Please send us an email at hello@snif.co with a specific allergen or ingredient you are looking for, and one of our friendly support team members will get back to you right away!

At-Home Trial Program

  • Are trials available in the US?

    Yes! Our at-home trial program is available for orders shipping to a US address.

  • Are trials available in Canada?

    We currently do not offer our tat-home trial program in Canada. 

    All Canadian customers are eligible for our 'buy' or 'subscribe' programs.

  • What products are valid for the at-home trial program?

    Any product that has the 'try at home' option when adding to cart is eligible for the trial program. This includes most of our single kit fragrances (30 ml bottle & 2 ml sample) and candles (8.5 oz candle & 2 oz sample). 

    All minis, 6 oz and 50 oz candles, laundry products, and select Snif collaborations are excluded from our at-home trial program.

    Subscriptions are not eligible for the at-home trial program.

  • How long is the at-home trial?

    The trial lasts 7 days, and it begins the day your kit is delivered. If you need to extend your trial for any reason, please reach out to our team at hello@snif.co and they’ll be happy to lend a hand.

  • How does the at-home trial work?

    At checkout, we’ll take your payment information and place a temporary “hold” on your card during the trial period which may show up as “pending” or “processing” on your bank statement. At this point, you have not been charged anything!

    Your 7-day trial starts once your package is delivered.

    If you don’t love one or more of your products during this period, simply submit a return through our site at snif.loopreturns.com.

    Once submitted, you’ll have access to a prepaid return label to print or a QR code to show when dropping off your package. We’ll only charge you for the fragrances or candles you decided to keep, void the payment less our handling fee if you chose to return scents in your order, or issue a gift card via email if you chose to receive store credit.

    In order for a fragrance return to be accepted, the full-size bottle(s) must be unopened, sealed, and shipped back in the original kit packaging. If your bottles are damaged or the sleeve is broken, we cannot accept the return and you will be charged.

    In order for a candle return to be accepted, the full size candle(s) must be in good-as-new condition. This means it has not been lit or burnt, the wax has not been touched or adultered, and the lid is not damaged. Additionally, the candles should be shipped back in the original kit packaging for a safe delivery. If your candles are damaged or the wick has been used, we cannot accept the return and you will be charged.

  • I was told this was a free trial. Why do I see a 'pending' charge on my card?

    Similar to a hotel or rideshare company, we place an authorization on your card to reserve the funds so that we can charge you for what you keep. This will appear as a 'pending charge' on your statement, but rest assured that this is just an authorization and not an actual charge!

    You will only be charged for the full size products you keep after your trial has ended. Your total balance will be adjusted to take into account any products you return.

  • What if I order a 'Try' product and a 'Buy' product?

    At the point of purchase, you will be charged for the total of the “Buy” products and an authorization will be placed on your card for the total of the “Try” products. 

    The pending authorization for the amount of the at-home trial product will remain on your statement until your trial and returns period is complete. Once your trial period is finished, we will charge you for the full size products you decide to keep.

  • When will the hold on my card be removed and when will I be charged?

    If you do not submit a return within the 7-day trial period, we will charge your card for the full amount within 5 days of your trial ending. 

    If you submit a return during your trial period, we will wait to remove the hold on your card and only charge you for the full-size products you keep after your return has been reviewed and processed. This can take up to 2 weeks after your trial ends.

    Returns will only be accepted if received in a good-as-new and sealed condition.

  • Can I use a discount code on an at-home trial order?

    For at-home trial orders, discounts can only be applied to single fragrance trials. The fragrance and candle bundles are excluded from discount code promotions.

  • Are exchanges available for the at-home trial program?

    We offer 1 exchange for each scent or candle included in your at-home trial. To make an exchange, simply submit your exchange through our site at snif.loopreturns.com

    Once submitted, you can download a prepaid return label and ship the full-size, unopened bottles or untouched candles back to us. 

    Once the return is in transit back to us, we will have your exchanged trial product shipped to you and a re-authorization will be made on your card. This new trial period for the exchanged trial product may show up as “pending” or “processing” on your bank statement. At this point, you have not been charged anything!

    Once your new trial product arrives, you'll have 7 days to try the new sample inside.

    If you don’t love your exchanged trial product during this period, simply submit a free return through our site at snif.loopreturns.com
