Shipping
****SHIPPING ADDRESS****
Each order is sent to the shipping address on file when placing the order; please make sure this information is accurate. Any packages returned due to an incorrect shipping address (that was not communicated and confirmed in advance) will only be re-shipped at the buyer's expense. Packages returned due to incorrect address will be refunded for the item price only.
****USPS SHOWS ORDER NOT DELIVERED****
For orders that have not been delivered, we must wait 21 days to file a claim. We will advise you if any action is required on your part to complete the insurance claim process. A refund for the lost order can not occur until the insurance payment is issued.
****SHIPPING CHARGES****
In 2019, the USPS changed how they calculate shipping.
Previously, shipping fees were based equally on the weight and size of the package as well as the zone the zone where the package will be delivered.
They now base the fees mainly on the size of the package and the space it will take up in their delivery vehicles. (called Dim Weight)
Because UPS and FedEx also use Dim Weight USPS was still the most cost effective option.
So, to help my customers with this increase, I have decided to only charge for a size down in package dimensions and upgrade all US packages from Parcel Select Ground to Priority Mail at no additional charge.
And finally, a purchase of a second smaller (2” drop) hat box ships for free in the larger hat box
Custom and personalized orders
****PAYMENT****
If I have not received payment within 5 days, I will have to cancel the sale, unless I have heard from the buyer during that time with extenuating circumstances
Shipping Claims
***USPS SHOWS ORDER DELIVERED BUT ORDER NOT RECEIVED***
We ship to the address you supply and cannot be responsible for stolen packages. USPS insurance claims cannot be processed for this issue type. No refunds will be issued and we will have to recommend to reorder to an alternate address.
****ORDER DAMAGED IN SHIPPING****
Please send us a message within 2 days with photos showing the damage to the item, which is necessary for the insurance claim. We will notify you if additional action is needed, which could include signing an online affidavit certifying the situation. Please note that a refund cannot be issued until claim is paid.

What size box do I need for my hat?
The rule of thumb is that a Hat Box should be 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the widest point of the brim of the hat. It should also be at least 1/2 inch taller than the highest point of the hat.
