The Kwaj Shop is Open!

Unique Kwaj Net Designed Kwajalein Products Now Available

 

Kwaj Merchandise DesignsThe Kwaj Shop officially opened its virtual doors on 21 November, 2017. The shop launched with four initial product categories: Women’s Shirts, Men’s Shirts, Accessories and Housewares. The first designs rolled out on products such as t-shirts, tank tops, cell phone cases (iPhone & Samsung Galaxy), coffee mugs and pillows. Most design variations are black vs white on lighter or darker products.

The merchandise first became available at retail prices, while I was in the process of figuring out my e-commerce platform’s Discounts & Coupons functionality. Hopefully, all that will get nailed down in time for New Year’s Day Shopping Specials!

DISCOUNTS: Speaking of Discounts and Coupons, if you sign up for the Kwaj Net Newsletter, you’ll not only get occasional insider discounts, you will receive new product and website updates as well as some things that I don’t typically share on Kwaj Net Facebook or Kwaj Net Twitter. The newsletter is delivered monthly, but you will also receive special seasonal emails.

PARTNERSHIPS: It took dozens, if not hundreds, of hours of research to determine the right companies to do business with in order to build the shop (and website). Here are the behind-the-scenes partners that make The Kwaj Shop work:

  • WordPress: WordPress is foundation of the entire website and is also the open source content management system (CMS) that powers over 25% of the world’s websites. Thankfully there’s a lot of different software (a.k.a. plugins) that works on WordPress to allow really slick features and functionality.
  • WooCommerce: WooCommerce is the e-commerce platform used to build the shop pages (product pages, shopping cart, checkout system, etc.).
  • Printful: Whenever you order custom designed and printed merchandise from The Kwaj Shop, they are printed and fulfilled by Printful. Printful has printing, warehouse and shipping facilities in California and North Carolina so they can expedite orders from the closest U.S. point of delivery. Printful also receives returns.
    • IMPORTANT: It can take 2-8 days from the time that you purchase a product for it to get fulfilled (printed, wrapped, boxed) before it ships. Then, depending on the shipping method you select, it can take as long as 10 days for U.S. delivery (off peak seasons).
      On-islanders by aware that could mean longer-than-average “Kwaj Mail” delivery times.
  • PayPal: I decided to go with PayPal mainly for its ubiquity in the marketplace and to allow customers to make payments via personal PayPal accounts or use credit cards.
  • TaxJar: This is a very cool piece of software that enables me to charge the exact sales tax in the appropriate states/cities and provides a way for me to pay those taxes directly to those states.

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting Kwaj Net by buying from The Kwaj Shop. It helps keep the website alive and gives people great memories via custom Kwajalein gifts.

Kommol tata,

Bob
