Very Sorry

So sorry about the previous post and the removal from stock of certain sock lines but I was literally told this morning about all the lines that the distributor had decided to remove and have no plans for further import.

These lines have been removed from the site.

This does not affect any of the other lines on the site, in fact they are going from Strength to STRENGTH.

Two of my friends need a big up tonight, Steve Elliot and Neil Turner GOOD LUCK GUYS

We have All X-Socks...

...available to the UK.

Just the other day I came across another specialist online sock shop and they we telling everyone how they stocked the entire range of X-Socks. They have just over 40 X-Socks lines on their list.

This is interesting because www.buyXsocks.com also has the entire range of X-Socks and there are 73 lines available with 14 on hold just now until new stock arrives in the country.

73 minus 14 equals 59

So I have 59 X-Socks Socks on the BXS site right now and that is the entire range of X-Socks available to the UK from the UK Distributor of X-Socks. You can be assured that www.buyXsocks.com will have all the lines all the time while stock is available.

BXS on YouTube

So I've done a couple of videos to help people get round the site. One as a 90 second quick guide to shopping with buyXsocks.com and one video on how to use an Offer Code. There will be more videos, some on the same theme to help you find your way around the site and others perhaps a bit more fun.

Here's our channel on YouTube

Keep on runnin'

if you like it, of course. I mean, there's no point in doing something you really can't stand or that you don't have a really important goal to achieve at the end. So suppose you are running mad or you have an interest in raising money for charity, if so then 5k, 10k, Half Marathons and the Biggies events are happening all over the country (and World, probably).

So next exciting one that I know of is the Sony Ericsson Run To The Beat London Half Marathon which kicks off at the O2 at 09:45 on October 5th 2008. Registration for this event is now closed but if you are one of the 12500 competitors then I want to know about it - let me know if you are, it would be great to hear your story.

It looks like Nokia are part of another event called The London Half Marathon (confused? So am I, only a little though) which starts at 10:00 on October 12th in Hyde Park. This event is actually called the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon and registration for this is also closed although you might be able to get in with a charity partner before this friday. Once again, if you are in on this one then let me know, it would be great to hear from you.

It goes without saying that you need to be fully prepared when going these distances. So you training has to be right and you clothing has to be spot on too. Obviously, this being the BXS Blog, I am going to mention SOCKS right now. I won't go in to massive detail about which socks are best for you but I will say that socks are the part of the interface between you and the road - if your socks are poor quality and a poor fit then no matter how good your expensive made to measure running shoes are you will still have a poor experience.

All I am saying is: buy good quality socks to improve your comfort on your runs. There is no point having blisters, excess fabric, wet/damp feet when you can have fresh, dry, protected, blister free socks that can even prevent injuries.

Check out the X-Socks range of Running Socks on www.buyXsocks.com and if you have any questions just send me over an email (available here on the BXS web site)

Stumped for a pressie for someone?

I know what it's like, your rushing around the night before (sometimes even early that morning) to buy a present for your chosen person that is just right for their birthday or something. It's not just me that leaves it until the last minute is it? Come on, be honest with yourselves, we're all the same - aren't we?

So anyway, your struggling to buy them a present and you are really tight for time. Well BXS is at your service and can come to your rescue, at any time of day or night. What do you know about the person you're buying for? Do they:

• like sport
• like chilling out
• like quality clothing items
• like long haul flights (yes, we do an Air Travel model that can help prevent DVT)
• like good presents from you

Now, X-Socks fit the bill here completely but remember that your tight for time and with delivery times there is no chance that the socks will arrive in time for the big day (especially if you're shopping on the same day!). So here's the answer:

A GIFT CERTIFICATE

Easy as that, you go online to the BXS web site and buy your guy or girl a Gift Certificate to use on www.buyXsocks.com. Simple as that, Easy as 1-2-3. You buy a gift certificate of any value you like and they will get an email with that certificate enclosed, they can then go online and shop on BXS and spend the certificate how they want to. 

Check out the Gift Certificate page on buyXsocks.com

For Women's Eyes Only

Ok Girls, don't get toooooooo excited there aren't any Brad Pitt (or, insert your desired famous man's name) photos  on the site but I have managed to squeeze a page in just for the Girls.

The page is called X-Socks For Women and it shows you all the Women's Specific X-Socks. These socks are different from the men's equivalent in a few ways and if you have the option of a women's specific sock for your sport then it is likely that you'll find these socks to be a great fit for you.

Check out the X-Socks For Women.

User Video for BXS shopping

So this is just a very quick post to say that I added a simple walkthrough, less than 90 seconds, on how to buy something on www.buyXsocks.com 

The vid is currently on YouTube, search for buyxsocks or you could go straight there the vid will also be on lots of other video sites and on the BXS help page too.

More easy vids coming soon
