My experience is basically the same as everyone else's here. I subscribed, they took money out of my account, a few weeks went by and I emailed their "customer service", got a generic response back that was in no way helpful. I finally cancelled my subscription today as I was afraid they would charge me a second month without sending me anything. I don't know how this company is still in business.
Scentbird and it's founder may be getting rave reviews from the entrepreneurial world but their flame has gone out. Ever since a so-called relocation to a bigger warehouse their subscription service has been behind over 2 months. Ad- hoc orders or one shot orders fall into the same delivery rotation as the subscription service which is rediculous. On top of that there is no Customer Service number to call. What a unique idea not to have to listen to the millions of complaining customers, yet their billing department works perfectly. Your money is taken from your source in seconds. I love that business model, incoming revenue with no output of goods. How come I was never taught about this in macroeconomics. The only communication is thru email in which you get a bot email reply and that's about it. The other way to communicate with them is thru Facebook! Why would I want to inquire about a personal purchase in front of 20 million FB users. How are they getting away with this. I am presently waiting on a one time order made on 11/01/18, since I canceled my subscription and thought the one time order would be shipped out earlier. It is now 12/13/18 and I have not received any replies to the mass amounts of emails I have sent them and have reported them to the BBB where I see hundreds of others have as well. Hey Scentbird, a little 5 sentence blurb on your website regarding delays does not count as customer service.

3/7 months were over a month late. When I contacted their customer service, (no phone number) they didn't respond to over 10 messages I sent. I ordered a full sized bottle. It came a MONTH AND A HALF AFTER I ORDERED IT. Oh, and by the way, during that month, the site didn't allow me to cancel the order, I couldn't contact customer service, so I just waited, had it delivered, and then tried to return it. THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE SITE CREDIT. Are you f***ing kidding me? Most frustrating experience I've had with any service or product. DO NOT USE
Hi Matt, thank you for posting a review and I’m sorry to hear that your experience was not of the quality you expected. We were a very small (but quickly) growing team back then but we've been actively working on improving our shipping processes and communication for the last few months. In addition, we have been in the process of implementing several other changes to be more focused on providing excellent customer service. We will definitely use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Thanks for bearing with us!
Absolute sham of a company. Subscribed in early November only to see my first month's shipment as "processing" but no actual product delivery. I received no email updates, nothing, but they sure took my money. I submitted a dispute with my credit card and received a refund, thankfully. This company should do the right thing and halt all orders if it cannot fulfill them.
Hi Melissa! Thank you for leaving this feedback and we're so sorry to hear that this was your experience! Your first order is supposed to be shipped within days of your order and we're sorry if this was not the case. We're actively working to improve our shipping processes! If you ever decide to give us another chance in the future, we’d love to make this better for you. Be sure to email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com!
The concept of the website is awesome to bad they cant get it right. If they don't have the perfume in your queue they just don't send you anything that month instead of going to the next scent in your queue or sending you an email, so you can go months without getting anything or they send you there fragrance of the month what they choose when they choose. The last fragrance I received was not put together correct and when I opened it and went to put it in the bottle the top came off and spilled on my rug. They have yet to respond to my emails. Cancelled that subscription.
Oh no Sona! We’re sorry about this! Your fragrance vial should have been tightly closed and wrapped and we’re always happy to send out a replacement if your fragrance vial is damaged or broken. We hope since leaving this review, you've received a replacement and that we were able to turn this experience around for you. If not, please email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com.
They are a scam. They said you the product the first time and never said it back. I emailed them and they never responded.
Hi Felonie! Thank you for sharing and we truly apologize that your experience with us was less than stellar! Feel free to email us socialsupport@scentbird.com-- we’re happy to chat!
My first order came in. Than I was charged for 2 months worth of product and I never recieved anything from them. Imagine how many people they have did this to. Every review is the same! Google pops up nothing negative about them. It's only showing what scentbird wants you to see! Please don't fall for this scam! This would have been a great program!
Thank you for your feedback, Elliott and we’re so sorry your fragrances never reached you. We completely understand your frustration and would love to rectify this situation. If you’ve yet to receive your fragrances, please email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com and we’ll be sure to look into this for you!
Do not order from here first month was good got charged next two months without sending products this company is no good
Hi William! We’re sorry to hear this was your experience with us! If you still have not received your fragrances, please be sure to email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com, we’ll be sure to get this taken care of!
The worst customer service I've ever seen. I started a subscription on November, and chose my first fragrance, they end up charging me and never sent out the product. When I try to contact the customer service, I always get that same useless response from that computer generated response asking for email and address, then never reply back. Please don't ever spend your money on scentbird, you're just basically throwing your money into the trash.
Hi Joey! We completely understand your frustration and this is opposite the experience we wished you to have with us! We hope since leaving this review that you've received your fragrances and loved their scents!
I've paid for the last 4 months of my subscription and received none. Getting an answer is obviously not a priority for them. Great concept if it worked, but it didnot work!
Oh no Amie! We’re sorry about this-- we hope you've received your fragrances since leaving this review-- this is not something we take lightly. We value each of our subscribers and we’d love to look into your account, see where we went wrong and hopefully make this better for you. Send us an email at socialsupport@scentbird.com!
Now their email inbox is full because they refuse to provide any customer service.
I signed up via Sweatcoin which never asked for an email address or password creation. But my email address is associated with my Sweatcoin and should have been on record. I have never been able to sign into my account since I chose fragrances. I received the November fragrance but when I try to sign in, it just creates a new account.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR SCENTBIRD. THEY CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND, or worse, THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE.
Oh no Erin! We appreciate your feedback and we’re sorry this was your experience with us. If you ever decide to give us another chance in the future, we can definitely help you access your account and address any of your other concerns. Please email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com!
Was a member for 3 months - 3 whole months, got charged for everything but never received a single shipment. Can't contact customer service or the company even with a lawyer. Do not subscribe to this scam - only a matter of time for the company to go out of business.
Oh no Jakob! We’re sorry about this-- we’d like to take a look into your account and see where we went wrong. Would you mind emailing socialsupport@scentbird.com? We value each of our subscribers and you should have definitely received your fragrances-- this isn’t something we take lightly so we hope to rectify this situation.
I have emailed this company several times and this company refuses to respond to my emails. They do not care for their customers and just like every single other review here I began my subscription in June I received Junes but not July I emailed them and they said they were moving which is why things were delayed I ended up getting July and August in late August then I received September's perfume and have yet to receive another perfume. The website states it has been shipped but then I track with UPS it just states the label has been printing so nothing has been shipped. This company lies to their paying and loyal costumers who just want what they paid for.
STAY AWAY AND TRY OUT PURSE PERFUMES FROM ULTA AND SEPHORA INSTEAD.
Hi BiBi! We’re so sorry this has been your experience with us and we completely understand your frustration. We value you as a subscriber and we appreciate your patience with us. If you still have not received fragrances for certain months, let us know and we can look into this. Email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com. We’d like to make this better for you!
I love the concept of Scentbird, but the execution is HORRIBLE. Like everyone else, I've experienced delayed shipments, incorrect tracking info and poor customer service. I received a 6-month subscription as a gift in August 2018. To date, I've only had 1 shipment arrive in the correct month. Everything else has been a month behind. The tracking information means nothing, since they just create the label and don't actually process the shipment until weeks later. Why even bother creating the label?
The latest upset is regarding the Pearly White Case, which was supposed to arrive with the very first shipment. Well, that never happened and I've gotten 3 shipments so far. I emailed customer service to ask when I would receive that and was told that it would be shipped "shortly". Weeks later, my package arrived. No Pearly White Case, just an empty velvet bag and empty cardboard tube. WOW. Seriously, they paid money to ship me an empty container, pictured below.
This company is not worth the money. It would be more cost effective to just head to your nearest Sephora or department store and ask for samples and buy what you like.
Hi Melissa! Thanks for sharing and we’re sorry this has been your experience with us! As a growing company, we’re constantly working on ways to make this subscription better for each of our customers. That said, if you ever decide to give us another shot down the line, we’d love to make this up to you. Your fragrances should have been sent in a timely manner and we’d love to turn this around for you. Be sure to email us at socialsupport@scentbird.com with any other concerns.
Three weeks since I've ordered and it still hasn't been shipped according to their tracker. No email back from them, and no refund for the cologne I paid for. This company needs to go out of business faster.
We’re sorry for the delay in your shipment, Dale! Fragrances are usually sent out by the third week of each month. We hope that since writing this review, you received your fragrance and loved the scent. If not or if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at socialsupport@scentbird.com, we’re happy to answer!
I ordered and got my first shipment in 4 weeks. I canceled because that is the slowest shipping ever. They sent me an email try another month 50% off my wife convinced me to give a second chance. I ordered an extra case and another fragrance and now 19 days later and I still have nothing and they have Zero customer service. Don't waste your money. I am glad it was only 30 bucks I lost. You have been warned.
Hi Jim! We appreciate your feedback and we’re sorry your experience with us was less than stellar! Our fragrances are usually shipped out by the third week of each month and we’re so sorry if this was not 100% clear! We hope since leaving this receive you've received your fragrances and loved their scents.
Wow... I'm experiencing the same thing as everyone here. My card gets charged for 2 perfumes and I havent recieved last month's order. I tried emailing several times and I either get ignored completely or just a automated email. What disgusting customer service. I'm going to cancel with them and contact my bank, if they try to charge my account again then it'll go to the fraud dept.
Oh no, Jessica! You definitely should have received your fragrances and this should not have been the case. We value you as a subscriber and as a growing company, we’re actively working to make sure this process is as enjoyable as it is efficient. We hope since leaving this review you've received your fragrances and that we were able to rectify this situation!
I ordered from them in October for the first time. Its been 3-4 weeks and they haven't shipped anything. The website says "Proccessing" but they already charged me. They have absolutely zero customer service. I can't find a way to contact someone anywhere. DO NOT BUY SCENTBIRD.
Hi Justin! We’re sorry for the delay in your shipment! First orders are to be shipped out within a few days and we're sorry if this was not the case. We hope that since writing this review, you received your fragrance and loved the scent. If not or if you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at socialsupport@scentbird.com, we’re happy to answer!
I have been a member since June 2018. I recieved the first product with no problems But did not get anything in July. I contacted customer service and was told they are changing shipping facilities and orders were backed up and I will receive Julys order in August and to expect to receive both orders. I finally got the order for July and August as they said, but I haven't received anything since then all the while my account is being charged the $14.95. When I didn't receive the order for September I contacted them and got an email from them with a $10 store credit. I check the website and says order for September and October was shipped but no other info available and to check back later for tracking. In October I asked to have my subscription canceled due to not receiving the product and since this is the second time this has happened. My subscription has not yet been canceled! I am still being charged and not getting anything from them. This company is horrible and is a SCAM. I will be contacting the BBB or who ever else I have to. They are stealing people's money and this has to be stopped. Do not sign up with them unless you like giving away your money because you will not get what you pay for.
Oh no, Teri! We appreciate you sharing feedback and we completely understand your frustration.

We hope since leaving this review you've received all of your orders!
I have experienced NOTHING but frustration with Scentbird since I joined in july. Pre-paid for several months of a subscription. Continually have to email then looking for my scents. They "claim" changed shipping in June and are experiencing some issues because of the. We are now in October any bugs stemming from a change in june should be resolved by now... or at least any well run business would have done so by now. There is no phone # for this company. So you must email them. If and I mean IF they respond to you... you will get some standard email template. I receive many subscription boxes, Scentbird by FAR is the WORST to deal with.
Oh no, Jen! We completely understand your frustration and please know, this is opposite of the experience we wished you to have! We’re actively working to improve communication and our shipping processes! We hope that you’ve received your fragrances since leaving this review.

Answer: Hi Kambra Apologies for the confusion caused. The price of a 2pcs/6-month fully paid subscription is $135 :) We hope this helps!
Answer: I am frequently asked what perfume I am wearing. It's nice to change things up. My husband has liked all but one of the scents I've received. I LOVE getting a different scents every month. Perfumes smell very different on different people so it's interesting to smell the difference between a perfume on myself versus that same perfume on my daughter but I absolutely love this entire concept and the business is top-notch as it pertains to the customer service and the expedited shipping to ensure that the product arrives when it is supposed to.
Answer: I have tried Scentbox. They are about the same price for a little less volume.
