Firstly I just want to say that we are sorry for any delays over the Christmas and New Period – the warehouse was overwhelmed and orders just took a little longer than usual to dispatch. Then of course we had all that snow which caused delivery problems with couriers and Royal Mail and then of course the backlog of orders. Now, however, I think we are back to the good times.

Good News: the size / colour variants have been updated on the web site so as to reflect stock limitations. I have removed variants where there is no current stock – all stock should be replenished on February 20th when all variants will be back online except for those models that are being discontinued or replaced with an updated model. I will inform you of all these in due course.

Bad News: Economy / exchange rates / Manufacturers / etc / etc / have all meant that our own prices have increased and the suggested retail prices have also increased so, sadly, the web site reflects these changes too.

Good News: to compensate a little for the price increase I have seen to it that you get more discount now for buying more socks. The quantity discounts have been increased now to these…

That is about it for now, any questions at all please just get in touch here http://www.buyxsocks.com/contact

We do of course have a small stock of socks in our office which we can dispatch from but this is reducing fast but could mean that your socks would arrive in the usual timescale. However, most orders will need to come from our warehouse and there will be a delay. 

Do not let this stop you from ordering unless you need them for the coming weekend in which case you will need to send us an email to make the enquiry about possible delivery date. 

Once again I am sorry for this but it does happen at least once a year for the majority of shops and warehouses.

Any questions you need to ask please just email us on james at buyxsocks dot com

We don’t charge for delivery and we use Royal Mail First Class post and orders are usually dispatched within  1 – 2 days. If there is an urgent enquiry and you are prepared to pay extra for Royal Mail Special Delivery then please get in contact and we’ll assess the possibility of an order arriving in time for Christmas.

Thanks for your support.

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

X-Socks Speed Metal Energizer Socks

However, perhaps more importantly I’ve got two new X-Socks models that feature Smart Compression which will give you more energy.

The Speed Metal Energizer Running Socks

Ok, I admit, this really is at the top end of the market and is expensive but the technology, R&D and testing that have been employed have produced a seriously effective pair of socks that will keep your feet cool in mega hot weather and give your more engery. They’ll probably even make you run faster ;o)

The Speed Metal Energizers use many X-Socks Technologies to ensure that warm moist air is removed from your feet and replaced with cooler air. The specially developed yarn, XITANIT, actually reflects heat from around and draws heat away from your feet. Your feet will be cool in the heat and you really will notice the difference. If you are a beginner runner then you’ll probably not have a need for these socks, however if you are even a little bit experienced and if you’re running in the heat then you’ll know how important it is to keep your feet cool.

The Trekking Energizer Trekking Socks

X-Socks Trekking Energizer Socks

The second new pair of X-Socks available right now is the Trekking Energizer Trekking Socks. These offer the same excellent as many of the top class trekking x-socks as well as the Smart Compression to give you more energy. 

Your feet are kept cool and dry, your feet are well cushioned where they need to be and supported around the ankle. You’ll not get blisters and they’ll last for years.

X-Socks Quantity Discounts

Prices

Speed Metal Energizers are £33.50 for a single pair.

Trekking Energizers are £17.95 for a single pair.

They are both at the top of the socks in the market are are highly priced but X-Socks really do last for years and at my shop you have the opportunity to take advantage of quantity discounts

Cheers,

X-Socks Ski Comfort Man Socks

I know it’s summer time (kind of, although last nights hail was a shock in London for June) but I’ve just had a great review come in for the X-Socks Ski Comfort Man Socks. It’s a great review, worth a read and might be worth storing in the memory banks for when the season kicks off again and you’re looking for socks that suit you.

Check out the review on the X-Socks Ski Comfort Man product page.

Until I implement a more reliable system for the delivery of the single eBook that customers can choose at checkout time I have made every eBook available for free in your Account Home Page.

This means that you can log in to Account Home on buyXsocks.com and collect the eBook that you had chosen originally, and of course you can collect the other eBooks too.

=> Go to your account page
=> http://www.buyxsocks.com/customer?xCmd=account

I can only keep this system going until I implement the new method, so it might be an idea to download the other eBooks before the new system comes in.

As usual if you have any questions please let me know.

Have Fun.

James.

If you didn’t know about the competition it’s quite simple. You write a review about some socks on www.buyXsocks.com and at the end of each month I read the reviews for that month and award the ‘best’ review a free pair of X-Socks. You’ve got to be in it to win it so go to www.buyXsocks.com and get a review written during June and give yourself the chance to be a winner.

Have Fun.

Why? Well, I’d get orders in and notice from our own stock we have to order some more in and you guys would have to wait for the socks to arrive. Now, with this new ‘any colour’ option it is more likely that I’d be able to post out your socks sooner – so if you’re really not that concerned about the colour of your sports socks then please choose the ‘Any Colour’ option when choosing your size and colour.

There are actually two advantages for you:

1. You could receive your order quicker because I could fulfill orders with different colours
2. You actually benefit from the quantity discounts on each sock. Previously, to get the quantity discounts when buying multiple pairs of the same model of sock in the same size you had to choose the same colour. Now you can get the benefit by choosing the Any Colour option.

Have fun

(of course, there is the chance you could receive different colours or all the same colour – it just depends on what is available)

Cheers,

James.
