Microsoft Outlook does not support importing multiple vCards - you need to import them one vcard at a time. While this is tolerable for a few, its frustrating when you a large number to import.
Rather than using Outlook's File, Import and Export menu to bring the vCards into Outlook, you can drag them from your Windows file system to Outlook's Contact folder. Each vCard will open and you need to click Save and Close to add them to Outlook. This method is faster than using the Import menu but for best results, you should only do about 20 vCards at a time as opening too many at a time will use a lot of resources.

Multi-card VCF files
Outlook does not support importing a single vcard file that contains multiple contacts. You can use GMail to make the conversion as Gmail can import multiple contacts using .vcf file. Once you have the contacts in GMail, you can export them to a Outlook CSV format and import them into Outlook Contacts. Additionally, several of the tools listed below support importing multiple contact vcards.
Step 1: Import the vCard file into Google Contacts
Step 2: Export it in Outlook format (will be a CSV file)
Step 3: Import into Outlook
The tools listed below will import or export vcards in bulk. Some will import multiple contact vcards.
