Super fast service

I ordered 1pm on a Thursday.
I live at a rural address in the North Island. I was so shocked to see my parcel on the doorstep the next day. This never happens not for rural delivery. Incredibly impressed at how fast my purchase arrived.
Thank you to the team that made it happen!

An awesome customer experience

An awesome customer experience. NZ Post lost my mother's day gift box. Not Socks very quickly found out what had happened and reached out to me, quickly organizing and sending a replacement gift. Harry could not have been better to deal with!

Hi Ann, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such lovely feedback! Whilst we're never happy when customers have issues, I'm so glad Harry was able to get this resolved for you. Thanks again, Katherine

Expectations exceeded

The quality, variety, efficiency and customer service always exceeds expectations. My orders on average from ordered to delivery is 30 hours, that's if ordered in the evenings. I live in Wellington so it's not across town delivery.
100 % recommend for gifts or a treat for yourself.

perseverance, stress to eventual satisfaction

Harry and I persevered with my request for an hour to eventually resolve the problem and achieve what I wanted for my mum in time for mother's day. Great work from the team and I am very satisfied with the service I got even though it took alot of patience and am still stressed by it.
Thank you Harry and the team!

Exceptional Service with a dash of huge kindness

I am absolutely blown away by the outstanding service from notsocks.co.nz.
I made an order on afterpay so I could get some sensory items for my daughter, some masks and a few other bits and pieces.
I also ordered one gift bag and requested they just put it in my box as it was a mixed order.
I placed my order and received it really quickly which was super cool.
I opened my box and found a surprise inside.
The beautifully kind staff member had instead of just one had put multiple gift bags in various sizes for my daughter's gifts plus some tissue paper.
I was absolutely blown away at such thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness shown.
Times are really hard for me right now as they are for a lot of people and being a solo mum of a special girl with ADHD, ADD,ODD and high anxiety disorder and having multiple serious health issues that is unable to work melted my heart and is now going to give my daughter a great Birthday.
I even emailed and said thank you because it was such a kind and thoughtful gesture that I really appreciated.
It may seem small to most people but to me it helps immensely with the cost.
I love notsocks anyway but I highly recommend as their products, service and staff are just amazing!

Late delivery

Late delivery, no response to multiple emails, disappointed in the service and lack of help I will for sure not be a future customer again.

Edit: Only being notified of the delays after leaving a review but I do understand the short staff situation, would have really liked to be kept up to date via email then as even the tracking website estimated the delivery a few days ago and it did not arrive.

Reply from Not Socks

Hi Anel, I'm really sorry to hear there has been delays with your parcel. Our customer service team is currently reviewing your emails - someone will come back to you very shortly. Emails are typically responded to within 1 business day so since your first email came through last night after business hours, you will have a response to all of these today. I can see that we did try and send it on a more urgent service but there are some delivery delays in areas where couriers are short-staffed due to Covid which may be the reason for it jumping between depots but I'm really sorry that your parcel has been caught up in this. Many thanks, Katherine

Very very disappointed

Very very disappointed. Ordered a birthday gift which would have arrived on time according to their website & my confirmation email (2-3 business days as I do not live in a rural area). Tomorrow will be day 5 and I'm still hoping will also be the day it finally arrives. Needless to say it is already too late and won't be half as special anymore. Is it really that hard to give an accurate delivery time? Would have hd no issue paying for faster shipping if I knew it was going to be like this. No shipping updates either apart from the one i received right after ordering, overall just a massive let down and I 100% will not be returning or recommending anyone to Not Socks.

Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear that there has been delays with your parcel. There are currently some delays in areas where the couriers are short-staffed due to Covid but unfortunately we don't know in advance which depots might be affected each day. If you get in touch with our customer service team at contactus@notsocks.co.nz with your name and order number we can look in to this further. Many thanks, Katherine

If I wanted a crappy knockoff

If I wanted a crappy knockoff, I'd have bought from wish. The picture looked great, was excited to receive. Very disappointed when what I got was a cheap shoddy knockoff of the product photographed.
When I approached the company they completely ignored any accusations of breaching the fair trading act, sending a crap product etc and offered a refund which I grudgingly accepted.
Disappointed because in the past I've been happy with them and then they don't even acknowledge my issue.

This place has never let me down

This place has never let me down. Great bargains and super speedy delivery!! I live in Auckland and because of lockdown and courier backlog I wasn't expecting my goods for about 10 days, especially since this retailer is in the South Island.

My order was dispatched the same day of ordering, and delivered the day after. The goods were fantastic quality. I think I might have to purchase more!!
