Friday Sock Co doesn’t have postage labels, so I got to see how much they pay for postage on their stamp. Since I’ve been selling (and mailing) GPUs for the past few months I’m always intrigued about shipping prices. $1.94 isn’t too shabby for sending a pair of socks in Canada. When I was living in London in 2016, I sent my sister a stationary set and it only cost $12 to send, and that was with the crazy exchange rate of 2.1x (1 GBP = $2.10 CAD)! It was a very expensive time to be living and not working in the UK, but still cheaper to ship abroad from there than domestically in Canada!

These socks are a great pair of headphones and records. There’s really nothing else to say, since the socks are all made the same just with different designs.
