It’s summertime! Which means it’s time to try something weird.

It’s been a busy 2018 here at Zap (thank you), and we’ve barely been keeping our heads above water. We’ve taken some steps to ensure that orders continue to flow in and out as efficiently as possible, but it has become increasingly obvious that we’re gonna need to do more. Turnaround times are longer than we’d like, and we don’t have the time we need to develop and experiment with fun new products.

So, we’re working on it.

This summer we will be hiring some additional help and getting them up to speed so that when fall rolls around, we’ll be back up and running at full steam, 24/7. Until then, we’re going to need to take some small steps to ensure we don’t get overrun with orders.

Step one, the Summer Schedule!

Starting in July, the weekly store schedule will be:

OPEN on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

CLOSED on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

During closed days, the site will still be accessible but the shopping cart will be turned off. You’ll be able to browse normally and add items to a wish list, but you won’t be able to check out. Hopefully, this will help us keep our order volume in check a little bit, and assist us in keeping turnaround times as short as we can. It’s not ideal, we agree...but it’s better then an excessively long turnaround time.

We appreciate your understanding as we try out something that’s a bit unconventional. It’s not a permanent change, and hopefully it will help us continue to deliver great products and great service without having to sacrifice what little sanity we had to begin with :)

As always, feel free to drop us an email or catch up with us on Discord if you have any questions, suggestions, or helpful tips.

And of course, enjoy your summer!

Your friend,

John@Zap
