I received mine in Singapore only after about 10 days wait. My complaint is the socks are a little too thin, and we need patterned socks!

Maybe nowadays answers can be little late coz of new web design and new products. I dont leave any mail without answer.
Could you check your spam folder ? or please send me pm to check your status of order.

Sorry for the socks, actually its not common , is it possible to contact us ?

We thought about express courier but they give really high prices.
Maybe instead of increasing all prices we can add it as express shipping option.
But we are always open to any request if someone want to receive faster we can offer too.
as an example 25 euro for 500 gr to europe and it must be at least 35 euro to USA.
aprox 8 prs socks weight 500 gr.

Another idea, I have phone number of my postman, I m calling him to learn if there is a pack for me.
if answer is yes before coming factory I take my pack from post office, packs can wait more than weeks at the post office

I would disagree with increasing price of all socks. Orders usually arrive in Australia in two weeks or so. Free shipping. No one has ever died waiting on a few pairs of socks. Maybe in USA but not here. Long experience tells me USA mail and customs are some of the the slowest in the world. Keep up good work kemal

gotta disagree ---- customs is the worst piece of this shipping issue. get a note when shipped, had 2 orders with Kemal. 1st took like 6 weeks held up in customs over 4 that is right 4 weeks on socks (weapons of mass destruction hahaha) 2nd order shipped, passed thru customs in days...... so set expectations on possible long wait, if you recieve sooner be happy. Worth the wait.....IMO

Are the prices on the Viccel website U S dollars or Euros or some other currency?

Great response, and you sir are absolutely correct. Thanks for putting it in proper perspective. I will try to be more patient.

Hey!

I just joined SF but I've been lurking around occationally for a few months now. I've been testing the waters of the "corporate world" since 18 but now that I graduated, got a good job, and moved to the city, I'm ready to fully dive it.

I HATE having crappy socks that fall down constantly so I'm very interested in this Viccel brand. Is the price shown, per pair? $8.00 a pair seems like a lot to pay considering I basically would like to restock my entire wardrobe over the next few months (suits, belts, ties, etc.). Is this would I should expect to pay for decent, quality socks that will stay up (OTC)?

It is per pair, and the OTC are actually $11.11 (summer weight) a pair... and that my friend is a bargain. Just bought 3 new pairs the other day.

Ugh...I guess I should have known. Building a wardrobe is very expensive so I might as well realize it now and suck it up.

Someone know a good thread for me to start me off in the right direction? Right now a have a decent suit from Express, a pair of Steve Madden dress shoes, various pants ranging from Kohls to Express, and about the same for button down shirts.

I have what I need to get me by at my work for every day wear, but I'd like to step up my daily attire so I don't wear this stuff into the ground.

Is it the cotton or wool-silk socks that are the shiniest after washing?

I'd like to order some more of the shiny ones. I bought one pair of each, and while the shiny ones are holding up after multiple wears, the dull ones (shrunk ever so slightly after washing - wool/silk?) got a hole in the first time I wore them. I sewed up the hole as they were expensive, only for the other sock to wear through on the very next wearing. The shiny ones are excellent quality for the price, however.
