What’s the difference between Premium decks and flip decks?

Flip decks are your more affordable version of Smart Cards. All editions of Smart Cards premium decks, layout A & B, have a flip deck version to accommodate students (or architects) on a budget. Contents are more or less the same but premium decks include more details than flip decks. Kindly refer to our product listings for more details.

Are there freebies when I buy a deck?

Absolutely yes! We give all our customers free stickers aside from the free card case that comes with each premium deck and the free metal ring that comes with each flip deck. You can also get the Smart Cards canvas pouch for only P30 (from P65) as Add-on when you buy a premium deck of any edition.

Stickers

What are the ideal surfaces for your stickers?

Our stickers are ideal for notebooks, journals, papers, laptop or other indoor flat surfaces.

Is it water-resistant?

Yes, it is water-resistant. We have tested our stickers by spilling water on it and the stickers didn’t incur damage in 3 minutes of soaking. This doesn’t mean to say though that our stickers are weather-proof. Kindly refrain from placing the stickers to surfaces that are exposed to rain and sun, e.g. cars, skateboards or bikes.

What is the standard size of your sticker sheets?

Most of our sticker sheets are 4″ x 5″ unless stated otherwise.

Are there freebies when I buy a sticker?

You will get one free Random Study Wheel for every order of any sticker. Note: One for each checkout only (not one for each sticker you ordered)

Orders

How do you pack orders?

Our team is committed to using only necessary materials to help save the environment. We omit unnecessary plastics or packaging.

Premium decks
All decks will come with its free hard card case for protection and will be wrapped with clean recycled paper. 

Flip decks
Since flip decks will not come with a free hard card case, decks will be wrapped with clean recycled paper and a thin layer of bubble wrap for added protection.

Stickers
All stickers will be packed with a free hard backing to protect the items from dents and folds while in transit. This will be wrapped with clean recycled paper for added protection.

Mugs
All mugs will come with a free white box. This box will be packaged inside another sturdy box filled with stuffing that will either be shredded paper or bubble wrap. Orders with any mug will also be marked with a fragile warning sticker on the parcel pouch.

What if I want the decks to be wrapped individually?

For requests like this, we understand that you ordered a bunch of decks for your friends and wanted to give them the deck with its original wrapping; or that you ordered some decks to be given as gifts.

If so, please leave us a message after you order and instead of wrapping the decks together, we will wrap each deck / certain decks separately according to your request. 

Can I change my order after placing it?

If the change is minimal, yes, we can. Just contact us through Messenger or Shoppe Chat so we can discuss how we can adjust or what compromises can be done.

Do you accept return or refund?

We don’t accept return or refund once the order has been placed.
