International Orders:
International (Non-US) Orders Shipping Timeframe is (7-40 business days)
There may be up to a one-week delay in the shipping of 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.
Taxes and duty
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.
Jaxon Hats are not available for sale to Europe.

International Shipping Policy
International (Non-US) Orders (7-40 business days).
The cost of shipping hats around the world is ever increasing. We are committed to investigating new options and/or negotiating rates in order to give our customers the best price. 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 shipments outside of the USA, we suggest that you consider buying more than a single hat. In doing so, you are assured to lower the shipping cost per hat.
International Shipping services offered:
International (Non-US) Orders
- USPS 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.
Most banks outside of the USA will not guarantee the transaction for USA merchants. We ask that you pay via PayPal if you are a first time international customer.
Note: We require PayPal payment only for any shipment going to a Freight Forwarding company. We will not accept any other form of payment.
