FAQs

Friday Sock Co. started with an original purposely mismatched design concept in 2014. We wanted to make the highest quality product we could, as ethically as possible, in a new interesting way. Our socks are made with OEKOTEX® certified Egyptian combed cotton by a small family owned production partner in Italy. Our kid socks feature GOTS® organic cotton, and our luxury line is made from OEKOTEX® 100 mercerized cotton. But that's not all, we also use 100% cardboard hang-tags, and the packages we ship our product out in is biodegradable. We are constantly looking at ways to be different, because being different is what we're all about. 

We accept payment through Shopify Payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). We also accept payments through PayPal.

Discount codes, discount prices, and flash sale prices only apply during the duration of any sale, and cannot be applied retroactively.

*At this time, we will not be shipping any orders to the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)*

Please contact customerservice@fridaysock.com as soon as possible. If your order hasn’t been shipped yet we can change the address for you. If the shipment has already been sent out, we will wait for the shipment to be returned to us. When the shipment has been returned to us, we can either re-send the shipment or issue a refund minus shipping costs. 

Please note a wrong address can result in lost mail and there are cases where we do not receive them back delivered to someone else. In the case that we do not receive the shipment back we are unable to resend items or issue a refund. 

Please ensure when placing an order everything is correct for mailing as we are not responsible if the address is incorrect and items are lost in transit. Each occurrence is dealt with on a case by case basis, but below is a general guideline. 

Canada 

You will be contacted once the socks are returned and have an opportunity to get a refund minus any additional shipping paid. (Example: If you paid $5.00 shipping, but our actual cost of shipping was $15.00, you will be refunded for the socks minus the shipping shortfall of $11.00. We will also give you the option to of reshipping the socks to you, but will ask that the shipping cost be covered. 

United States 

We ship through USPS using a service that transports socks across the border and ships from our US satellite address. This allows us to charge less for shipping and enables us to give the customer a tracking number. When items are returned however, we pay a $5.00 fee for each package, along with the shipping costs to receive the items back. If you are a US customer, and your items have been returned, we can either refund minus the costs we paid to receive the goods back, or we can re-send the socks with these costs added, as well as the additional shipping cost to re-send. 

International 

If you are an international customer, and your items have been returned, we can either refund minus the costs we paid to receive the goods back, or we can re-send the socks with these costs added, as well as the additional shipping cost to re-send. 

Please Note: If there are any issues we need to have communication within 30 days of the normal shipping window. This is to allow us enough time to communicate with our shipping partners within their allotted time window.

If your package has not arrived within the time frame(s) specified, please reach out to customerservice@fridaysocks.com with your order # and date of purchase. We will attempt to resolve the issue in a timely manner. 

Please note: We are not responsible for errors made by a postal service or courier company. Your patience and understanding is appreciated. If there has been a postage carrier error, or delay, we are committed to work with you to resolve. 

Correspondence must be received within 30 days of expected arrival date (please review our shipping times) as we will need to open a ticket with the postal service or courier service. Unfortunately, we will not be able to help if 30 days from the expected arrival date has passed.

In an effort to keep shipping costs low for our customers, we have a flat rate shipping policy of $5 in Canada and $7 to the US. The actual shipping cost is almost always more than this amount. If a package is returned because of customer error (wrong postal code, no unit number, old address, etc) the shipping charge to re-send must be covered by the purchaser. Otherwise, as long as the items have been returned to us, we will offer a full refund minus the actual shipping cost.

This can have something to do with a community mailbox. Packages often arrive the day after they say “delivered.” Please check with your local post office as well as they may have your package.

If you still cannot locate your package, please contact customerservice@fridaysocks.com with you full name and order number.

Sorry, but it's gotta be a no here. We pick socks well in advance and special requests impact our ability to administer the subscription. 

We will always send the socks out to the address in the subscription form. When you check-out, you will also be asked for a shipping address, but this is for folks who order a subscription and then want to order socks for themselves. Whatever you put in the subscription form, is the one we’ll use for the subscription.

Our trusty and reliable sock monkey Fred sends subscription socks at the end of the third full week of each month.

We’d love for them to come on the same day each month, but timing can range depending on a number of factors, including stat holidays, shark tornados, etc. If the socks are beyond a normal delivery delay, please email us so we can check on the status of the package.

We know that reoccurring billing and auto renew is sometimes super convenient, but we also know how super annoying it is to be auto subscribed to something beyond the time initially intended. For this reason, we currently do not keep you wrangled into anything automatic. To renew your subscription, simply resubscribe for the term you’d like. Just make sure you tick the handy dandy resubscribing box when you’re putting your info back in!

Hey, congratulations on the big move! Please email customerservice@fridaysocks.com with your full name and order number (if you have it) and we will change the shipping address for your sock subscription. Please update your address with us as soon as you can after your move so we can make sure there are no delays getting your orders to you!

Hey, we’re human, and sometimes we make mistakes. If you received a duplicate pair please email us right away at customerservice@fridaysocks.com and we’ll get you sorted. This only applies to subscription duplicates. If your Aunt Betty gave you a subscription and didn’t tell us you already had a design, well you’ll probably have to live with it.

The short answer for this is... Whaaaaat!?!? You don’t like a pair of our socks...? We are so hurt. Ok, we're over it now. Our subscription selection is completely random and we allocate inventory ahead of time. If we’ve sent you a design that isn’t your cup of tea, our suggestion is to give them a shot anyway (you might be surprised with how much you like them on your feet). If you really just cannot get over it, and they are the ugliest things you’ve ever seen, maybe re-gift them to a friend (or your arch enemy).

At this time we are unable to give free product or funds outside of our regular contributions. We get a high volume of requests and it's just proven impossible to keep up while keeping it fair for everyone. With so many great causes, it's just to hard to say yes to some, and no to others. 

Giving back to the community is a super important part of what we do and we're committed to giving a portion of proceeds and product to charitable efforts. You can learn more by visiting our Giving Back section on our website. It's not always up to date, but were trying to keep everything in there. 

We now look at our giving budget during the 1st quarter ever year, and make a list of causes we may be able to help. If you email us regarding your cause, we will save your email and take another look at it in the spring to see if there's an opportunity at that time. Thank you for understanding.

If one of your loved ones has stolen your socks, DON'T PANIC. This happens all the time and we recommend just asking (nicely) for them back. Alternatively, you may have to buy another pair.

Our socks are known to cause an abundance in compliments. If you want to be low-key for a bit, maybe just wear some white gym socks.

Hang Drying is Recommended (wash and dry if you need to shrink them down a size)

Do Not Use Bleach

Do Not Dry Clean

Do Not Iron (who does this anyway?)

Please keep in mind that we receive heaps of great feedback from our customers. We try our best to accommodate requests, but we have many things on the go at any given time. That said, we're happy to listen to your suggestions at customerservice@fridaysocks.com.
