I have had a big run of orders and I am grateful. I see that putting parts in
baggies in shoe-boxes was not conducive for large or multiple orders in a short
time period.

With the idea of changing storage design, family obligations, and also sorting
legos; do people shutdown for a few days to work on things like sorting or storage
issues?

It's totally up to you. You won't "lose" customers for shutting down.
You just won't make any sales while you're closed, so it's a personal
decision.

Thats understandable. It was a little hard to keep up with the orders, sorting,
storing, and everything else...

I know some people shutdown on the weekends. I assumed it was for family. I could
see it for sorting and inventory.

Delays of a few days are not uncommon. I wouldn't even bother to close my
store.

That being said, people often close their store for an extended period of time,
for a variety of reasons: inventory, sick, dead, vacation, etc.
