And we're back in the room

So, I don’t know what happened there but somehow time has past me by but now things are good and I’ve got some great plans for X-Socks and even X-Bionic clothing. 

I must say “Sorry” to those people who haven’t yet received your chosen e-books but you can simply login to your account area and download the e-book from there. And also a BIG ‘SORRY’ to those who have submitted reviews over the past few months expecting to be crowned the WINNER for each month. I will get back on to this and get awarding.

Being truthful the slowdown in consumer spending has had an effect on my sales but nothing that would cause too many nightmares. This is certainly one advantage to being an internet only store however it still causes concern and hasn’t allowed me to grow the shop in to something with more power and more internet prominence. The main problem right now and over the last few weeks has been the Postal Strike, certainly a few weeks before the first strike took place people started to lose confidence and there was a period with very few sales and now with the second strike at the beginning of this week and the third strike to take place soon my business has suffered badly.

The disadvantage of being a small business is that we don’t have the resources to pay the large fees set by courier companies. I would very much like to avoid postal strikes and other unreliabilities that might arise from using Royal Mail but then I would have to charge a high postal service fee to you and / or make all orders subject to a minimum order value – both of which I don’t want to do. 

However, if customers are happy to pay for a postal service then I would like to hear from you, please either comment here or email me
