INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POLICY

At THE FAT HATTER, every effort is made to ship your hat within 3 to 5 business days (Saturdays and Sundays are not included) upon receiving your initial order, pending availability.

* If the hat is a size order (S/O), the hat is made after your initial order is placed. Therefore, we ask customers for 45 days for the hat to be made.
NOTE: these are estimated wait times and are subject to change. Please allow an extra week or two if needed.
If your order was placed during a sale, re-stocking period or holiday period, please allow an additional 3-10 business days for processing.
 
 
 
You'll be notified if merchandise is currently unavailable and when we expect to be able to ship.
 
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.

TAX AND DUTY
Please understand that we do not know the laws in every country regarding taxes and duty for each and every hat material that we sell. It is the responsibility of the customer to pay such duty and taxes (if applicable).
Shipping costs do not include duty taxes. 
Once the package is outside of Japan, it is the responsibility of the customer to contact local delivery courier if and when package does not arrive to destination. We are not responsible for any return shipping made by your local courier. 
(Example: Local courier made a delivery but the customer failed to receive the parcel for any reasons and was returned by your local delivery courier to our shop in Japan.)
We do not provide estimates of any duty, VAT, taxes, or clearance charges that may be applicable outside of Japan as these are specific to each destination country. 
Customers are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the import requirements of the destination country.
