Cancelation not possible and Bad Return policy

I used a gift card but after entering the gift card it automatically checked out and I wasn't able to add anything to my order.
I directly contacted them but the order was not possible to cancel after direct placement. Ended up placing another order and paying for the shipping fee...
Now I would like to return it and I have to pay and fix the shipping label by myself.
Really uncomfortable process to go through....

I was disappointed when I intended to…

I was disappointed when I intended to buy a pair of anti-thrombosis socks for my legs because I had a trip scheduled and suddenly I received only one sock. I then kept wondering who did this sock fit? Only if it's a person who has one leg just doesn't make sense selling only one sock was frustrating my experience I never buy again

Sorry to hear that you were surprised by the delivery of a single sock. Our Medical Thigh High Stocking is sold individually, which is also mentioned on the product page of our website.

Should you still need help or have questions about your order, please feel free to contact us at support@stoxenergy.com. We will be happy to help you!

There is no version for shorter people

There is no version for shorter people, unfortunately. My height is 150cm. The regular stox are a bit too long for me, and the excess of fabric gathers around my ankles or under the knee, giving too much pressure which is painfull.

Smooth Delivery & Great Results

Ordered 1/20 from the US. Delivered from the Netherlands on 1/24. Emailed shipment notifications were accurate. Delivery was fast & smooth. I tried the Women's hiking W3 tall socks yesterday. They fit great and were effective for my 7mi hike. In the past, my left foot, ankle, heel and calf muscles in both legs would act up. Yesterday, during the full hike, l felt great with zero pain. After hiking and into today...my feet/legs still feel great. Stox are well worth the investment.

Avoid!

Avoid!
I had no problem with the delivery, arrived quickly and as described but, the refund process was a joke.

Sorted the return through the returns portal on the Stox website and kept my tracking receipt, which alerted me that the product was received by Stox 48 hours later. After two weeks I'd had no correspondence about my refund so I emailed and sent proof of my return and the delivery confirmation.... no reply and no refund! Waited another week then emailed again... no reply and no refund!!
Eventually got the refund from my bank and then up popped Stox saying they will refund me - that was three weeks ago and, guess what... still no refund.
I would not buy from this company, spend your money somewhere else!

I am editing this review to reply to the answer given by Stox below.
Sure, I received an email from Stox telling me the refund would be processed, but it never materialised!! I've checked with my bank and it was never actioned so my initial review stands. Be careful where you spend your money.

Excellent product ! Tried it and was a bit hesitant of this would really provide all the warmth and relief it claimed to provide whilst running and hiking, it did !!! Absolutely love their outdoor, hiking and running socks. The how to wear video is also a great tip to avoid struggling and falling over whilst wearing compression socks.
