    are they 100% cotton, or blended ???

      Just spotted this, can confirm that they are a cotton, nylon and elastane blend. Will update to show this, thanks!

      • ywpn on 10/05/2011 - 16:48

        Hi oztrez,
        I ordered the wrong size. Is it possible to correct it? I've emailed the website asking for the size to be changed. Will it go through before the socks are shipped?

        • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 16:51

          Possibly? I've alerted Customer Service to your request, and they are working on it now trying to get it changed :)

          EDIT: All orders for the day are now final. Thanks!

          I can't reply to your comment below, but thank-you!
          Without giving away my order number or personal details, I emailed them between 4:40-4:50pm.

          [edit] they've fixed my order. Appreciate the speedy reply, mate!! :D

    A good buy for the family.

    a family of Men perhaps…

    • red-hot on 10/05/2011 - 12:32

      They're probably Cotton/poly blend. Teenagers will wear these, too.

      Have got them in front of me, and they are decent. Most of the staff are buying them based on what we've seen, they aren't going to blow your mind but they do the job? Not sure what else to say

          Sorry I've not yet got the go ahead to be an official spokesperson, but I'm working out of the BiG BUYS office here in Brisbane. I didn't post this deal but am just popping in to clarify any questions people have :)

      • kiwipride on 10/05/2011 - 15:21

        oztrez, do they stay up?

        • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 16:53

          Haven't put them through dozens of washes, but the brand is Bellview and they are traditionally a good quality sock. They stay up in the office… hope that answers your question?

        • kiwipride on 10/05/2011 - 18:42

          I was hoping that they would stay up no matter where my ankles were.

  • happyblah on 10/05/2011 - 12:59

    I bit cheaper than from the manf. website. Manf. freight costs hard to judge as they quote on a per carton basis ($16/carton)

    http://www.socks.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=12&…

    • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 13:07

      Hi Happy, checked out the link, and am not really sure how you are reaching the conclusion that it is cheaper from the manufacturer. You may have misunderstood their ordering process.

      • happyblah on 10/05/2011 - 15:06

        Read my post again. I am saying HN is a bit cheaper than the manf. (First word should've been "A", not "I").

        • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 18:40

          I did misread, sorry happy! We're actually pretty significantly cheaper still, but thanks for keeping us on our toes :)

  • happyblah on 10/05/2011 - 13:02

    Manf. website shows 4 different colours (chocolate, black, navy, charcoal). What colour is offered here?

    • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 13:08

      All of the socks are black, with coloured tops like the picture suggests. Red, grey, blue, um a yellowy colour and a greeny colour are the tops

      Edit: nm, they added them to the order without any problems (as discussed below).

      Because I can't edit this, I need to be clear that orders cannot generally be adjusted, and are locked in after they are sent to our warehouse, so please review your order carefully before placing it. Thanks!!

    Note: These socks are made from a cotton, nylon and elastane blend.

    … after using 100% cotton socks, I can't go back to blends - they breath so much better

    • gabon on 10/05/2011 - 13:53
      +1

      ditto - cotton only particularly when its hot. Other blends are toe jam factories.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 13:54

    • jv on 10/05/2011 - 16:26

      go for size 11, they'll fit you after you finish the chocolates.

        Went the other way, got the 6-10. Nothing worse than having a sock ankle half way up the calf.

        Hopefully my ankles won't become cankles after downing the chocolates.

    Or fly to America and get them for $1 a pair for a good brand ;)

    • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2011 - 09:06

      Yea the prices in the US are standard for $US1 a pair or less - 6 pack Walmart Kmart Target etc 97%+ cotton (Elastic makes up the other odd 3%) . And people here have no idea how much we are being ripped off on socks and the quality and range, ie ankle up to full calf, is sooo much better.

      And they complain if an electronics/computer is 10% higher here…

    • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2011 - 23:42

      Thanks for pointing that one out wiz, the comments suggest there was an $8 postage, which would (only just) make ours the online winner, but it's good to know what's happening out there in the bargain world :)

  • justtoreply on 11/05/2011 - 11:10

    Like most socks, there's elastic at the top, right? Enough elastic to make it appreciably tighter than the rest of the sock?

    Just that I can't stand that, there's very few socks that don't feel tight and uncomfortable.

    Have some great ones "diabetes foundation approval" for good blood flow (no elastic). Sure, it's a marketing crock, but theyre comfy. That stupid approval makes them expensive though.

    • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2011 - 11:47

      Absolutely yes, I've got the socks in front of me and they are elasticky. I'll let the buyers know about your point, maybe we can get something happening for our "More BUYS" section? Thanks for the feedback :)

    • justtoreply on 11/05/2011 - 12:35

    Hi oztrez,

    I bought the golf clubs on monday - it doesn't look like I will be home to collect them. Can I change the delivery adress so myself or someone else is available to sign for them?

    • [Deactivated] on 11/05/2011 - 13:32

      Hi blackgoanna,

      That's a tough one that I can't answer, I would recommend sending your details to http://www.harveynormanbigbuys.com.au/ContactUs.aspx and asking our customer service team?

    • justtoreply on 11/05/2011 - 14:27
      +2

      Depending on the postal method, but auspost and AAE simply take them back to your local depot and leave a card in the mailbox. On that card, you can give authority to someone else to collect. They just need to take the card with them.

      My local depot is open at 4am for collection, despite the fact they advertise 8.30-5pm monday to friday. And I think that's standard for depots (they advertise the storefront opening hours, but you do not need to collect from the storefront, they have a depot entrance for collection too).

      If it gets taken to a post office instead, it should be open for at least some of the weekend.
