Received 2 incorrect socks that I would like to exchange. Sent an email to support 5 days ago and as others have stated, no reply other than the automated we are busy note. Really frustrating to have zero customer support! Don't recommend.

DON’T BUY DTC
I bought a pair of their socks at Fleet Feet in Austin, TX. I loved them so I bought 6 more pairs direct from their website. Allegedly they were delivered on Thursday 4/23, but they’re nowhere to be found.
Technically this is UPS’s fault, but since Balega has a non existent customer service team, Shopify won’t let me submit anything due the order not being over 30days old, and UPS is the absolute WORST and will only communicate with the shipper.
I’m going to have to call my bank and dispute the charge. I’m out $115 for 6 pairs of socks…when your price point is that high, you need to have a customer service department.
The socks are great, but you can’t buy them DTC from Balega. The email that they request you reply to is literally a “noreply” email.

Great quality products—but very expensive given the terrible customer service
My order was never received (although upset sent an email saying they had delivered at 9:02 pm on a Thursday, 3/19/26. It was not received then. Our UPS comes daily at the same time in the afternoon-never in the evening. I emailed Balega (they provide no phone or customer care line). I received a canned response from “Implus LLC” (a third party), stating “Due to consumer volume our response times are longer than normal.” I was assigned a very large number and received no further response. Balega clearly needs to invest in real customer service.
It is a fine product, great for athletes and active people. But I won’t purchase again given the high cost of their products—and poor level of responsiveness and customer service.
I see I am not the only one experiencing these issues…

Very Slow Shipping /Communication Unsatisfactory
I inquired about the shipping date for an order placed on 13 March. No phone number is provided on their website so there is absolutely no way to talk to a human being. I tried chat, which appears to be a real person but is a chat bot. I provided my order date and number; the bot was unable to answer my question and provided an email address. I sent a detailed email to Implus and received a generic reply with no information about my order. From order to receipt of product = 11 days. Balega socks are the best but probably best to order them from a third party such as Amazon or REI.

Scam - they owe me a refund and never paid or responded.
I ordered 3 pairs of socks and needed to exchange one pair. I sent them back as instructed on the website and 3 months later I still haven’t heard back at all. No refund, no exchange, no communication. I’ve sent many emails with zero response. They owe me money.. do not do business with this company. They have the funds to advertise - I still get many promotional emails - yet they can’t reply to a customer support email. Scam and Unacceptable.will never buy again. Please continue to spread the word.

Discount Offered not honored
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
Horrible experience with Implus customer service. I will NOT buy from them again. I purchased 6 pair of socks and within 10 minutes sent an email asking for the 15% discount (I didn't put in at checkout). I didn't think it would be so hard to do especially since the socks are $29 each. After sending 2 emails, finally got this response: "Unfortunately, because your order has already been processed and shipped (which it hadn't been when I sent the first email) from our warehouse, we are unable to retroactively apply the 15% discount or issue a partial refund for this transaction.
When I then sent back this response "Thank you for the reply, but that is disappointing, as I emailed you straight away... only 10 minutes after my order was placed (as indicated in the email time stamp) and certainly before it was shipped. Maybe you can reconsider. "
I got this back "I hear your frustration, and I certainly understand that the 10-minute window feels like it should be manageable.
However, because our system is automated to ensure the fastest possible delivery to our customers, once an order is confirmed and sent to our warehouse floor, the financial transaction is "locked" for shipping and manifest. This means we physically cannot reverse, edit, or partially refund the payment once the pick-slip has been generated.
As much as I would like to reconsider, I simply do not have the technical ability to override the completed transaction at this stage.
Sorry, terrible canned sales answer. I will never purchase from them again.

No Customer Support
I ordered 6 pairs of socks and only received 5 pairs. I've been trying to contact them for almost 2 weeks and nothing. The lack of response is what's terrible. I don't care how nice the socks are if you can't reply to a customer, I won't do business with you.
