Ha ha Bette,
Thank you for the typo corrections....I'm very casual when in Forums.. I'm always careful when doing cards.. But I still didn't get the answer I need.

Hi Robin,
My face is very red. I misread your query as "Is oder Correct" I am sorry . I thought you were asking, and I certainly would not have replied at all had I read more closely. ,but you know.. that proves 2 things(1) I am human  and make mistakes,and (2 )I am alive. Again I apologize. Thanks for setting me straight.
 
Bettie... Thanks Doreen for answering Robin's question.

We received 25 cards Jan. 7 and there was no smell at all.  
 
we live close to printer and reciene them next day after printing and on a few previous occasions have detected a slight smell ,  but there no smell detectable on recent cards
 
All of our cards are printed in glossy

my last order was a couple of weeks ago, and my office is just now airing out from the strong smell ... just in time for me to put them in the store for Valentines : )-

thanks Doreen,
I guess it's a matter of sensitvity?.. Well ..I too love those smells, so I'm going for it. Glossy it is
and thank you all for your speedy reply

this thread made me smile    I too made the same assumption.  
 
As an update....we had few to no cards returned since before the holidays due to odor.  
 
Our printing partner however is working on a possible alternative product solution in an attempt to please even the most sensitive of noses    Stay tuned.

I ordered a bunch of cards and laid them out to air for several days (even in another room), and thought the odor was dissipated, disappear, I stacked them up and days later, when I took some of the cards off, the odor hit me again.  I would be afraid to sell them to anyone because of the way I reacted, but others I've asked don't smell it.  I reset my cards to matte, just because of this.  It really is a shame that some of us suffer from such sensitive noses,    
 
The great thing about GCU is that if I WANTED a refund, all I had to do is mail them back.  I have never had any issue with the integrity of this company.  Quite the contrary.  I feel they bend over backwards to help the very inexperienced (ME)  AND the total professional.  That makes me feel really secure.  I took this venture on to give my self esteem a boost. It has. I have been hospitalized for major depression twice. The last was in October.  There are days I couldn't will myself to get out of bed.  Thankfully, meds have helped and I try to challenge myself every day to prove I can do it, even if it is as minor as winning a game of Freecell.  Every card I sell is a pat on the back.  And it is fun trying to outdo myself.  Teaching yourself all this from scratch at a NOT QUITE old dog stage is a challenge, but boy, when I sell a cancer support or sympathy for loss of Mother (just yesterday) it is an AMAZING privilege.  
Thanks GCU.
 
I'm stepping off my soap box now......
