What Bombas did

songbird — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 13:06:31 GMT

Bombas is that sock company. I had ordered no show socks from them, but they sent it out USPS. I contacted them because to date, I have not received them. The culprit USPS is sill showing as running late. It's been over 3 weeks. They just emailed me saying they have been having trouble with USPS (being so slow lately) they will now ship via UPS. They will send me another order of the socks and if the USPS socks ever show up, it will be free!

This was one of the 3 orders that I have running late via USPS. So it looks like i'm gong to get some socks. Still have not heard from the other order (through Amazon) but Amazon is always good in refunding me if that order never shows up. Today the 3rd and last late order will be delivered! Yay!

I threw mine away - too tight - uncomfortable and I have narrow feet. Wasn't worth the effort to return.

The only socks I ever wear anymore are Bombas socks. I love them so much -- and they DO feel like a hug around your feet. Love what they do for the homeless too.

USPS must be seriously short on (wo)manpower. Small parcels, like jewelry and clothing go to my state's mega distribution center to die. Waiting for an item now that has lived there for a week. As soon as it arrives it's going back as I no longer need it.

I am now thinking long and hard before clicking the Buy key, especially here. Healthier for the budget, too.

This is just so sad about USPS. I know their problems are complicated, but they have such an opportunity to step up and increase their business. I have not had any issues with my local postal service. (Knock on wood!). I hope they will get their issues resolved and be able to deliver in a timely manner.

@songbird If these are the ones with a strip of silicone on the heel to prevent slipping, I haven't received mine either...order placed 3 weeks ago.

@fthunt - people rave about them and I ordered a few pairs and wore them once and donated them. Way too tight for me.

USPS delays must be very regional. They have been like clockwork here. Probably most on time of all.

It's UPS that has no clue when their stuff will arrive here. You get e-mail after e-mail about when stuff is coming and it changes several times before you finally get it.

I don't care for Bombas stocks.

Received 4 pair for a gift and I thought they were heavy and foot hugging. Mine were grey shorties with a single color.

I'll stick with my sketcher socks, so soft.

I have to say, I'm totally in love with Bombas. I have medium feet, and I love the tight feeling. I bought a pair for my husband for Christmas, and he has narrow feet, and he didn't care for them. It's personal preference, but I'm glad they do offer them. They wear very well, and look adorable.

USPS is an abomination! I ordered a tie-dye hoodie from a vendor on Etsy in Florida, and it's been over a week, and it's still sitting in a bin somewhere down south. I live in New England, not in Timbuktu. It's disgraceful how long it takes from one end to the other to receive a package. No more excuses.

@songbird I gave you a suggestion on what to do about getting your missing orders in your last gripe on this subject. Apparently you chose to ignore it. No point in continuing to complain.

@songbird

USPS is having problems...I got an email from an

Etsy vendor following up on an order that I placed on 4/13/21 .....I explained the order hasnt arrived as yet, but USPS seems to be especially slow in our area these days....hes filing a complaint, reshipping my order and said he's had a lot of problems with orders being delivered by USPS....SMH

One QVC order from February never arrived, QVC CS refunded me! .........probably sitting in Carrolton, TX USPS Mail innovations branch office....

And I like the way they lie too...they will say they delivered a package to my front door, and instead they CRAMMED the package into my small community mail box and caused damage to the item....

@songbird Nice. Enjoy all of your socks.

The Post Office here is AWFUL... I won't even go in there anymore. I go to a place locally called the Shipping Point and they can send via Fedex, UPS, USPS, etc. They also sometimes have coupons. They are efficient, friendly and I don't have to deal with going to the PO. That's the only plus for me .... delieveries from the PO are unreliable. I just checked my JUST BAGELS delivery and the USPS says DELAYED ONE DAY. WHY...? It got to the PO south of me ... not 500 miles south... maybe 20. Whatever it is! I don't see any big changes or corrections any time soon.

I love Bombas socks! I like that they have arch support and come in sizes instead of "one size fits all". The nonslip one are great for yoga. They are all I ever purchase now and my grand-daughter requests them for Christmas every year.
