International Shipping Policies

Attention International Customers: We know that the cost to ship hats around the world is high. We are constantly investigating various options and/or negotiating rates. At this point, little more can be done to lower rates (but we will keep trying). We know that the following sounds self-serving, but it is nonetheless true and may help - FOR SHIPMENT OUTSIDE OF THE USA, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU CONSIDER BUYING MORE THAN A SINGLE HAT AS THAT WILL LOWER THE SHIPPING COST PER HAT.

What Shipping services do you offer?

Domestic (US) Orders

  • UPS Next Day Air Saver (Next Business Day - Delivery typically by 3:00 p.m.)
  • UPS 2nd Day Air (2 Business Days)
  • UPS 3 Day Select (3 Business Days)
  • UPS Ground (5-7 Business Days)

Note: UPS cannot ship to PO Boxes.

APO/FPO (Overseas Military Mail) Orders

Note: Keep in mind that these are estimated shipping times. Ground Shipping transit time make take upwards of 5-7 business days (excludes Saturday and Sunday). If time is a factor, please select an expedited shipping option in order to recieve your hats sooner.

A challenging part of our mission is to realize the promise of the Internet by connecting with our web site visitors from all over the globe. We, as merchants, will be able to communicate with, sell, and ship our hats to customers virtually anywhere. This is where the world, via the Internet, is heading but we are not there yet. One problem is the cost, reliability, and scope of service vis-à-vis shipping. Another is credit card fraud. In an effort to bridge these problems and pioneer this new frontier, we offer the following:

1. This is the shipping and insurance charge that you will be assessed for your purchase. As you can see, the variables are simply your destination and the U.S dollar cost of your purchase. These shipping/insurance figures represent our best efforts to take a complex set of factors and find "happy median" prices so that shopping at VillageHatShop.com will be simple and fast. We will ship via the United States Postal Servcie (USPS), Express Mail International.

Note: If you order more than one item and we are backordered on part of your order, we cannot afford to make multiple shipments for one shipping charge. You will have the option of waiting until we can ship your complete order or being assessed an international shipping charge for each part of your order that you wish shipped. We will ship within 48 hours (excluding Saturday and Sunday)of receipt of your order and picture identification.

2. Because most banks outside of the USA will not guarantee the transaction for USA merchants, it is necessary for us to request the following. Along with your order, we ask that you either attach to an email or fax us a picture identification. This can be a passport, driver's license, student identification, etc. We don't want or need a passport or driver's license number - so cover this number - only confirmation that the name, the picture, and the address go together. For some orders we will require a faxed signature approving the use of your credit card.  This includes orders that are shipped to the USA, but purchased via a credit card issued from a bank outside of the USA.  We hope you understand this need for extra precaution as this protects both parties in the transaction. Our email address is vilhat@villagehatshop.com and our fax number is 1-619-683-5535.

We now offer PAY PAL as a payment option. We hope this bridges the oceans for some of you.

NOTE: PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT KNOW THE LAWS IN EVERY COUNTRY REGARDING TAXES AND DUTY FOR EACH AND EVERY KIND OF HAT MATERIAL THAT WE SELL. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO PAY SUCH DUTY AND TAXES IF APPLICABLE. YOU MAY WANT TO RESEARCH THIS BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER.

Note For International Customers: Because we have numerous facilities, there may be up to a week delay shipping multiple hat orders internationally. Because of the high cost of shipping internationally, unlike domestic orders, it will be necessary for us to first accumulate all the products in one facility before shipping the goods. If time is of the essence, you may request that we ship hats separately, but the customer will then be responsible for an additional shipping cost.

Note: We require PayPal payment only for any shipment going to a Freight Forwarding company.
We will not accept any other form of payment.
