Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 37 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their orders, including missing items, incorrect charges, and orders not being received at all. Delivery service was also a major point of dissatisfaction, with people experiencing long delays, lack of tracking updates, and even empty packages upon arrival. Though some customers were satisfied with the product quality and even praised the customer service for being kind, helpful, and responsive, a notable portion of people expressed concerns about the declining quality of the products, with socks developing holes or fraying quickly. Some also found the customer service unhelpful, especially when trying to resolve issues like returns or cancellations.

Everything's Good, Just work on Delivery Timelines

so, the money was worth! i am happy with everything, it is only that the delivery time was more than what was initially advertised and because of that i was not present to take the delivery. This caused a little delay to give it to someone who was expecting a birthday gift. So please improve upon delivery times.

Shipment from abroad! - customs costs!

Ordered in Switzerland on the .ch domain website. There was no comment that the shipment would come from abroad. This resulted in customs costs of 20 CHF for 4 pair of socks! Would not have ordered, if I had known!
Sad, cause I like the socks.

THEY’RE NOT HAPPY SOCKS, THEY’RE A VERY NAUGHTY BOY

I got a pair of Monty Python socks for Christmas that were bought at the Portsmouth store. All of them had holes in so I emailed asking for a replacement only to be told to go back to store and they couldn’t send new ones. I explained I lived 40 miles away and could they send more through the post and they said no! Awful customer service, DO NOT BUY FROM THE STORE IF YOU'RE NOT LOCAL TO IT!

Returns have to be sent on own costs to SWEDEN!!!

I do love Happy Socks but I would never buy anything anymore from the Happy Socks online store. I (customer from Germany) thought I order from Germany. But no, the order comes from Sweden, which wouldn't be a problem unless you have an issue. I ordered the wrong size and wanted to return or replace the socks. You do can return the socks, but you have to return it on your own cost back to SWEDEN. It would cost me 10 EUR to send it back.

Hi Sammy,

We understand your concern and that there are benefits with free returns but at the same time there is a downside to it as well. We need to protect our planet and excess shipping has a negative impact on the environment.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Theo,

I'm really sorry that you didn't receive your Happy Socks.

I can see that both your orders were shipped from our warehouse shortly after the orders were placed. Looking at the tracking information provided by Laposte the orders were both returned to our warehouse as they were undeliverable. Our Customer Support Team has issued a full refund on both orders.

Again, we are really sorry for the trouble this has caused!

Hi Daniel!

I'm sorry for the confusion regarding the import fees.

On the checkout page as well as in our Help Center, you can find a note that we ship from the Netherlands and that you may need to pay customs and/or value added tax (VAT) on import items if the value exceeds a certain amount.

Please find more detailed information on the website of the Swiss post: www.post.ch/en/business/a-z-of-subjects/prices-receiving-mail/prices-import/import-customs-clearance-prices?shortcut=livelink-post-versenden-import-zoll-mwst-htm

I ordered some socks from Happy Socks…

I ordered some socks from Happy Socks on 28th November as a Christmas present for someone in my family. They said they had shipped them 4 days after I had ordered them. But It's now the beginning of January and we still haven't received them.

I emailed the company back in mid December but I haven't heard back.

Very frustrated over here!

EDIT:

They have just been delivered but NOT within 4-6 business days. They were ordered on 28th November and so have taken nearly a month and a half to get here. They were meant to be a Christmas present so massively missed the deadline! They were definitely not delivered within 4-6 business days as you have stated in your response.

Hi Nicky,

Thank you for your review!

According to the tracking info, your Happy Socks were delivered on the 5th Jan, which is within the estimated delivery time to the UK of 4-6 business days (Mo-Fri).

Should you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out to support@happysocks.com and we'll help out.

Avoid, until they sort out how to dispatch goods to the UK

EDITED TO ADD: Shortly after leaving this review I received a full refund from Happy Socks - a very swift response to a message over social media. I am happy with the ultimate outcome

I used to be a big fan of Happy Socks .... but that was before I placed my latest order. The order shipped quickly on 5th December but it still hasn't arrived. The tracking information on the courier's website hasn't been updated since 9th December. Happy Socks provide a chatbot to try and resolve issues but it was incapable of understanding, so I am still out of pocket without the goods I ordered. The shipping issues are undoubtedly largely a consequence of Brexit but unfortunately my experience means I will not be returning to them as a direct customer in the future.

Be advised that the DHL shipping is…

Be advised that the DHL shipping is finished with USPS. No option to deliver to a PO Box which is very confusing when USPS is finishing the delivery. My area does not offer home delivery through the USPS, which is why we have a PO Box. When forced to make the delivery address at home, maybe making sure the package will arrive would be a good idea in your system? Or maybe use a delivery service that doesn’t partner when I’m paying for it to be delivered to my home? Either way, the “fruit socks” that my 3 year old wanted from Santa are being kicked back to the company as “non-deliverable”, because this companies lousy delivery choices.

Hi Trudi!

Thank you for your feedback.

We are sorry that your Happy Socks got lost in the post and that our response time wasn't as fast as it should have been. The holiday season is a very busy season for us which means we may need a little more time to respond.

Non responsive company

Ordered 12/4, never got a confirmation even though customer service said it was sent 12/5. 2 requests for follow up have not been responded to, at this point I have no confidence my gifts will be here for Christmas.
