John’s Crazy Socks Now Ships to Australia
John’s Crazy Socks, an online sock company co-founded by John Cronin, a 21-year-old man with Down syndrome, now ships to Australia. The decision to ship to Australia comes after receiving many requests from Down Under to purchase socks and after the company tested its ability to ship to Australia.
John said, “We’re on a mission to spread happiness through socks and now we can send some happiness to Australia with our socks. I’m so excited.”
Inspired by its co-founder, John’s Crazy Socks stands out not only for its great socks and fast service, but for the special way it does business. “This business is very personal for me, “said John. Every order receives a thank you note from John and some candy. And part of the Company’s mission is to give back. John’s Crazy Socks donates five percent of its earnings to the Special Olympics and raises thousands of dollars for its charity partners through special socks like its Down Syndrome Awareness Socks and Autism Awareness Socks. Each month, it publishes a Giving Back Report.
Now customers in Australia can shop at John’s Crazy Socks to find socks they will love. We offer the broadest selection of socks including our unique charity socks as well as hundreds of the best socks from the best designers in the world.
Mark X. Cronin, co-founder with his son John said, “We heard from many people on Facebook, Instagram and in emails asking us to ship to Australia. Australians make up the fourth largest group of visitors to our website. We heard you loud and clear.”
The company tested its ability to ship to Australia by sending packages to select customers to make sure there were no problems with the delivery or customs. “We were happy to hear that the packages were received in a timely manner and the first customers in Australia loved their socks,” said Mark.
Bradley Burns of Cardiff, Australia, received the first package and shared his joy on Facebook, “Hey John!! Thank you so much for my socks and for letting me be your first order to Australia! Absolutely adore the socks and can't wait to order more!”
John’s Crazy Socks ships throughout the United States and now ships to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Mark X. Cronin explained, “We are growing rapidly and want to reach more people, but we want to make sure we do it right. Our service is very important to us and we are carefully testing the shipping country by country to make sure we get it right.”
