Our Response to COVID-19
The Village Sock Shop is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, customers, and community.
We are living in very difficult times and there are many unknowns. What we do know is even though we have been around for just 3 years, we have the strength of our culture and the loyalty of our customers which will sustain us through tough times. As a family-run company, we consider our employees and customers part of our family. We are here to serve you and to support you, and we will get through this together.
We will continue to require masks at the Village Sock Shop. Our shop is small and distancing from each other is difficult. For the safety of our staff, our children who cannot be vaccinated, and our entire community, we appreciate your support. We allow four adults (and any minor children) into the store at a time.
Our shop is open at 44966 Ukiah Street in Mendocino, CA. We are also ready to serve you online at VillageSockShop.com.
Can I still shop online?
Yes! VillageSockShop.com is available and ready to help you find what you need during this time. As always, we offer free shipping for online orders over $39.
Can I pick up my online order?
Yes! We would love to help you with curbside pickup. When you process your order, use PO Box 1844, Mendocino, CA 95460 as your shipping address. We will contact you for a date/time to pickup your order.
Will my shipment be delayed?
We are not experiencing any delay in shipping. In fact, we are typically able to ship orders the same day they are received. We'll send an email to you as items in your order ship, or if there are updates on the status of your order.
Where's my order? Why isn't there a tracking number yet?
Tracking numbers for your order shipments become available once our carrier partners pick up the packages for delivery. We'll send an email to you as items in your order ship, and this will contain a link to the most up-to-date tracking information for your order. You can also check your order status to get the latest shipping and tracking info.
Can I delay my shipment?
Once your order is placed, we start working on it right away. At this time, we are unable to delay or hold shipments.
How do I cancel my order?
Unfortunately, we're unable to change or cancel an order after you've placed it. If you decide not to keep your items, you can always return them by mail or in store at a later date. Currently, we're only accepting returns by mail.
Returns
How do I return my items if stores are closed?
You can return items purchased in store or online by mail, or to the Village Sock Shop store when we reopen. We are currently waiving our 30-day time frame for returns. For more information, please see our returns page.
Our Employees
What is Village Sock Shop doing to help store employees?
During this time of great uncertainty, we're making decisions to best position the Village Sock Shop for our employees, customers, and community. We have provided ongoing pay to store employees who were unable to come into work as a result of the temporary store closure.
What is being done to protect fulfillment and distribution center employees and those fulfilling orders in your stores?
The health of our employees is a priority, and we take seriously the responsibility we have to create a safe work environment. We've put additional precautions in place, including additional cleaning, adjustments to allow for social distancing between employees, and resources to help them stay healthy. If employees feel unwell, we are directing them to stay home and have implemented quarantining where appropriate. Given these steps, and guidance provided by local and national health experts, we feel confident our facilities continue to be safe workplaces for our people.
What is Village Sock Shop doing to respond to COVID-19?
We are closely following all CDC, State of California, and Mendocino County Public Health notices. We have implemented a cleaning protocol and employee health screenings. We continue to require all customers and employees to wear face coverings.
As a visitor to our store, we will ask that you follow all guidelines.
