There will always be some exception to the rules, every one of us can not get the same result, and that does not mean the product’s efficacy should be cast in a bad light.

Dawn, I’ve never personally had problems with Tommie Copper so I’m sorry to hear that you have.

I did actually pass your comment on to TC and I hope that you will get resolution soon.

I’m publishing your comment because I want everyone to know that while I am NOT TC customer service, I personally have had very good experiences with them but no company out there is perfect.

I also want to let others know, who are commenting with questions, I do NOT work for Tommie Copper and I also live in the Netherlands, so I don’t know where you can buy their products besides through the website.

Tommie Copper is highly unprofessional and evasive. So far I have called twice (and you can never reach anyone on the telephone) so their voice prompt encourages you to leave a message (so I left two messages) and no one has called me back. I also mailed back my knee sleeve to them to get a refund because the sleeve does not work at all. When the post office attempted to deliver it the first time they couldn’t because they were informed “no one authorized to sign was available”. I operate my own company as well and there is always a staff member available to sign for packages, so what kind of operation is this that no one is available to sign for packages, and no one returns any phone calls (I left two messages). Also, in an attempt to reach someone I utilized the online contact form twice to no avail. If my refund is not received soon I will have to escalate this legally to the proper channels. Tommie Coppers refund policy states within 30 days they have to have the product back for the customer to receive a refund, however what they don’t tell you is that chances are they won’t return your phone call or emails until after the 30 days is up, so chances are you won’t get a refund. I will never purchase anything from Tommie Copper again, and will encourage everyone I know to do the same. Highly unprofessional.

Renee you come off as an angry idiot. Why do you care that someone posts annonomously? You must work for the rip off company.
Compression does the job, not “copper.”

Well funnily enough I couldn’t find anything here at like like what Tommie Copper sells so I have no problem with the price. Lucky you have a Walgreen’s.

I always remain anonymous when posting because it is the sane thing to do on the internet. Furthermore it allows me to state my honest opinions without being attacked by unscrupulous people.

In regard to the price, I was annoyed that the true price was not made available until checkout. To jump from $24 to $33 for one stocking is a bit too much in my opinion. Nevertheless I decided to order it and I’m not unhappy that I did. I also went to Walgreen’s and
bought a similar sleeve for my right knee for less than $13 total (including tax)!

Last but not least I’d like to point out that the $13 knee sleeve works just as well as the $33 dollar one. You’re right when you said that these leg supports tend to be expensive. That’s why I posted my honest opinion.

if you feel so strongly on this opinion of yours why be anonymous?

you are entitled to your opinion of course. Personally I don’t see the big deal about the price. For any sort of running or sports clothes in general the prices are a bit high anyway. So you choose what you spend your money on and if you think something is too expensive, don’t buy it. It’s simple. Why didn’t you return the sleeves if you were unhappy? They do offer your money back if returned within 30 days of purchase.

Here’s my honest unbiased review of the Tommy Copper knee sleeve that will provide FACTS you need to know before buying:

(THIS IS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE COMPANY)

I bought the knee compression sleeve about 2-3 weeks ago to protect my knee from old injuries while exercising. It provides uniform compression and is very light weight similar to a stocking but slightly thicker. I have other leg supports that work just as well from companies like Ace, McDavid and Futuro. However they are bulkier and less comfortable.

Since I got the sleeve I’ve increased my cardio workout (bike & treadmill) by about 10% with virtually no sustained or serious pain. It does provide help with pain similar to most other knee support devices.

My major complaint is the price. By the time they add postage, handling, tax and who knows what else you are paying close to $33 for one sleeve. OUCH!!! What a rip off considering that the material seems cheap and very thin! Furthermore I have researched the use of copper and found it to be ineffective for arthritis, pain or inflammation. Not one independent study has conclusive evidence of the effectiveness (if any) of copper. Therefore I give the knee sleeve a 3.5 star rating out of 5.

It is way over priced (due to greed I presume) and copper (which actually has no effect) is being used to sell the product. In this respect the public is being scammed. In conclusion, Tommy Copper products may be helpful but so are many other products – at less than half the cost.
