Office Log 1: Where We Are Right Now

Hello friends 👋,

My name is Sam, the new Community Manager at Heatka. 

We’re excited to kick off a new kind of update, something we’re calling the Office Log. This blog series is a look at what’s happening here at Heatka HQ. 

Here’s where things stand right now:

📦 VAT Update – Orders on Pause for Now

We’re currently in the middle of switching VAT numbers, which means new orders are temporarily on hold while we finalize things on the backend. We know it’s frustrating to wait, but it’s a necessary step to keep everything smooth and above board.

We’ll keep you posted the moment we’re live again.

🔥 Winter Prep Is Underway

We’re already manufacturing more hand warmers to make sure we’re fully stocked for the upcoming cold season. This year, we want to help you skip the last-minute stress.

Come fall, we’ll be opening early pre-orders, giving you a chance to:

  • Beat the holiday rush
  • Lock in your Heatka ahead of time
  • Snag some exclusive pre-order savings

It’s a delicate balancing act, but fingers crossed we’ll be up and running by late August, if not sooner.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, we’re still here and happy to help, just shoot us a message at support@heatka.com. Even if you want to show off your desk setup, we love those as well. 

💙 What About Australia?

We hear you! A few of you down under have been asking about restocks and shipping. We’re currently working on the logistics to keep selling to Australia—but it’s a bit tricky at the moment. We’ll share more as soon as we have clarity.

Thanks for your patience, Aussie friends 💙.

💌 Building a Warmer Community

One of the best parts of running Heatka is hearing how our products have helped you—whether that’s staying focused through freezing mornings or just feeling a bit cozier at your desk. Your messages genuinely warm us.

This year, we want to put even more love back into the community you’ve helped create. You can look forward to:

  • More frequent discount codes
  • Community contests (yes, prizes are coming!)
  • Ways to share your stories + feedback that shape what we build next

I want to help make this a cozy part of your everyday life. You’ll be hearing more from us soon—and if you haven’t yet, join our email list to stay in the loop.

🤝 How You Can Help Us

If your recommendation leads to a collaboration, we’ve got a special gift waiting for you as a thank-you 💝

❓ Quick FAQ

When’s the next update?
We’ll be back with another Office Log in mid-June with more news on production and pre-orders.

Can I still buy a handwarmer/footwarmer?
Not right now. Hand warmers are out of stock and won’t be available again until our upcoming restock (pre-orders open closer to fall).

Foot warmers are still in stock, but we can’t sell them until our VAT transition is complete. We appreciate your patience!

Where should I go for updates?
We’ll post major updates here on the blog and send them out through our email newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can sign up at the bottom of this page.
