If anyone knows of an online store in the U.S. that sells and delivers thorlo socks here could they please message me the name? I found one store but they wanted to charge $40 postage for three pairs. A bit steep.

I don't fancy parting with $35 for one pair here.

Ebay is good, you can generally get 6 pair for $50.

They seem to have a very limited supply of Thorlo running socks. I'll keep searching.

I tried to do this, but Thorlo will only sell to the US on their website. For O/S orders they give you the name of the local distributor. I guess the local distributor wouldn't be too happy if Thorlo US was cutting their lunch by selling cheap socks directly into their market.
