What is a Dropship Item?
Many of our items on the website are "Dropship Items" and we understand this can be confusing to the customer. A Dropship item is something we do not keep a physical inventory of in any of our warehouses or stores; These items are handled, picked and shipped directly from the manufacturer. This does not allow us to process and ship the order based on our time standards and are, instead, up to the mercy of the Dropship company. With over 4,000 unique styles all of which feature different sizes and colors it would be close to impossible for Hats Unlimited to keep physical stock to allow for the most comprehensive catalog on the internet.
Dropship items are annotated with a "DS" in the SKU of the item to indicate to both us and the customer that the item is handled by the manufacturer. The availability of the item also indicates the typical turn around time based off the manufacturer, most manufacturers ship the item the same day it is ordered, however there are some that can take up two weeks to get the item to the customer. Please keep this in mind when placing your order and selecting your shipping options. If you need a dropship item expedited, a call will need to be placed to our customer service line at 888-997-4287 and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

PLEASE READ:
***IN-STORE PURCHASE DISCLAIMER*****
For Items purchased in our physical retail locations, our return policy is exchange or store credit ONLY. The reason for the difference in policy is due to the fact that our in-store customers have the physical product in their hands to see, touch, and get the right size before purchase whereas our online patrons do not.
To return or exchange your item, please follow the steps below.
-Your item needs to be unworn, unwashed, and with the original tags attached to be eligible for a return/exchange. If you send your item back to us without meeting these criteria, you will not receive a refund and will have to pay shipping again if you want the item back. Please note that if you have received free shipping through any coupon codes or other means, this amount will be deducted from your refund only in the case of a return.

If you purchased the $3.48 free returns for store credit + exchange protection at the original time of checkout, there is no cost to return the package. You will be able to submit a return for store credit or exchange and receive a pre-paid label through our returns center. If you did not purchase the $3.48 free return + exchange protection at the original time of checkout, you will be responsible for returning the product and will have an opportunity to buy a label during the return process.
-Unless we have made an error in shipping your item to you, (shipped the wrong item, or shipped a damaged/defective item), you will be responsible for shipping the items back to us if you did not purchase Redo coverage for $3.48. We recommend you insure the package as we cannot accept any items damaged in shipping. Original shipping costs are non-refundable.
-If you are requesting an exchange, as stated above you will be responsible for shipping the original item back to us if Redo coverage was not purchased. We however will ship your new item free of charge (within the contiguous USA). International customers are responsible for all shipping charges.
