Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Just seen that they are arguing on Twitter with someone and they are being unprofessional by calling them names and swearing in their posts. This screams of childish behaviour!

Another parcel has arrived from Sock Council and, having been buying from them about a year, I am a firm convert. Their socks are of the highest quality and I haven't seen such a great range of design... See more

Item never turned up despite being sent…

Item never turned up despite being sent tracked via Royal mail and shown as delivered. Acknowledge this is an issue with Royal Mail but sock council has failed to raise a delivery query with Royal Mail to try and track down the parcel despite communicating with them via email they refused to take ownership try and resolve the delivery query. Out of pocket with no item.

The customer received tracking from us confirming delivery, we will not post the reference number here for GDPR reasons.

This was the email exchange saying we "never took ownership", we received no reply to our final email:

"Hi Martin,

Thanks for your email.

The only order in the same name as yours was for a pair of socks, placed on the 19 Oct, shipped on the 21 of Oct and delivered exactly as we’d expect on the 22 Oct.

That was to an address in Plymouth, exactly as provided to us.

Royal Mail GPS scanned at point of delivery as per ref:

*Number redacted*

If that’s not you please do provide information such as an Order number.

Best"

He replied:

"Good evening. Thanks for the quick reply.

The address is
*redacted*

Can you confirm this was there it was sent as it hasn’t arrived.

Martin
Sent from my iPhone"

We responded:

"Hi,

Thanks for your email.

Yes that’s where it was delivered to, you will have recieved our emails as standard and as described at https://sockcouncil.com/order-process/, the link is included in the Order Completed email when your item has shipped. The address you gave is on all of the emails.

The item was GPS scanned at your address as per the tracking.

Best"

We spoke to Martin on the phone about there review told us we should have contacted Royal Mail to find out where they were and said our emails were "arrogant", that is plainly not the case if you read them, they are polite, business like and provide the information he was requesting. We explained that the item was GPS tracked as delivered to him. He again called us "arrogant" and said he lived in a "Gated community". We explained there was no number to call to find out further information. Martin said his post person was called John, we suggested he asks him where the item was. He suggested we contact the police, we said if he thought his post person was stealing or someone in the community was he should do that, he declined.

At no point did this person say via email he wanted us to "raise a delivery query", there was no reply?

We hope Martin feels better leaving this negative review, but we replied promptly with tracking details as he acknowledged and thought he had resolved the matter. He actually returned and bought another product from us following this interaction so we are dismayed at this means of lashing out, if indeed he didn't receive the socks, the Royal Mail tracking says they were delivered to his property and that is what we rely on.

Great Socks and Service

I’ve bought many pairs from Sock Council over the last 8 years, and the quality is always top-notch. The socks are comfortable, well-made, and last a long time.

Delivery is always quick, and as I’m local, the owner has even gone out of his way to drop off orders a couple of times, which I really appreciate.

Customer service is spot on – always friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience every time.

Excellent, Unique Products.

I initially bought the ‘Kyogo’ and ‘Lazio’ socks and they were both exceptional. This made me buy the ‘McStay’ ones after that which are also excellent. I will definitely buy more.

An absolute star of a small business

An absolute star of a small business. A genuine football fan and that translates into belter socks. Quality is fantastic (I only recently had to do away with my Orgreave socks after an age!). For myself or pressies for pals i look forward to my next pair. Keep up the great work. Hail Hail

Top notch!

Excellent locally run business. The socks are top quality and the politics even better! Raises money for so many important charities. Would and do recommend to everyone!

Should stick to socks not politics.

This is sad. We raise money for young people's projects (Kids Cabin, Walker, NE6), Orgreave Truth and Justice, Food Banks etc. Sadly some anonymous brave man decides to criticise this and try and drag down a business, but aren't even brave enough to stand by the courage of their convictions and pop their real name down. Speaks for itself really, no argument to make. We'll keep being us and they can keep being a sad coward!

Superb socks and quick delivery

Superb socks and quick delivery. Having dealt with this company since 2021, the consistent level of service, quality of product and speed of delivery has compelled me to write a review.

I have purchased various excellent designs over recent years. The designs are eye catching and the fabric really soft and comfortable. What’s more, I didn’t ever recall a delivery arriving later than the day following my order.

Bravo Sock Counc

PS. I look forward to the Sampdoria socks coming back in stock.

Had nothing but positive experiences

Had nothing but positive experiences with Sock Council. Great quality socks and a professional service, and that’s before we even get to the charitable/community donations. Good people.
