B. Can I change or add items to my order after it is completed?

Unfortunately we are unable to change an order after it has been submitted. However, as long as the order has not been despatched, we are happy to cancel this for you and help you set up a new order with the required items. To add an item, it is best to place a further order and then call or email our Customer Services team to let them know. For orders outside of the UK we can refund the price of the postage of the 2nd order and send both orders out together.

Once the order has despatched, we are unable to cancel or amend the order. So if you need to make changes, please notify us as soon as possible.

Our orders are trackable. Once your order is packed and shipped, you will receive a dispatch confirmation email with a tracking number included. If you ordered using our next working day delivery, our courier will contact you via email or text on the day of your delivery giving you a timeframe to expect your delivery. Also, if you wish you can call our Customer Service Hotline quoting your order number and our staff will happily check the progress of your parcel. back

C. What happens if I am not home when my package is delivered?

As with all deliveries, the driver will use their discretion to determine the delivery process. There are a few options on how they may proceed:

  • They may opt to leave your parcel in a secure location
  • They may delivery it to a neighbour
  • They may return it to your local delivery office for collection

Our couriers will leave a card explaining where your package is and also provide the package tracking number.

Our Next Working Day courier, DPD, will email or text you to let you know what time slot your package will be delivered (within a two hour slot) and you can either arrange somebody to be there at that time or reply to the email to arrange an alternative delivery date. Couriers may also attempt delivery to a neighbour. back

D. My order has not arrived, where is it?

Very few orders should be delayed but the most common delays we note are:

  • An attempted delivery has been made but no-one was in (a card should always be left by the courier to notify you of this)
  • Bad weather or strike action has created delays.

If you wish you can call our Customer Service Hotline quoting your order number and our staff will happily check the progress of your parcel. back

For regions outside of the European Union any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel and vary from country to country. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the exact cost will be (if there is any). back

3. Exchanges & Returns

A. Do I have to pay for returning my goods if I would like an exchange or refund?

Yes, if you are returning for an exchange or refund you will need to cover the postal costs back to Village Hats. We advise that you use our ReBOUND Returns service. It is is a tracked service that we have negotiated a set price for so it will usually save you money and we will be able to track it from the time you drop it off at your choice of courrier. You can also use a company of your choice. We would suggest a tracked service to ensure we can track that your package has arrived at our warehouse. If you are returning a faulty or wrong product, we will refund the postage. back

Unfortunately customers cannot collect or return items directly to the Village Hats warehouse or offices at this time. Please return the item via post using the returns procedure on your delivery note. back

All refunds should take no more than 2 working days from when your item(s) arrives back to Village Hats. Please allow for a further 5 days for the refund to show up in your bank account as this will vary. back

D. How long does it take to process my Exchange?

All exchanges should take no more than 2 working days from when your item(s) arrives back to Village Hats. We will then post the exchange(s) back out to you which will take 3-5 days to deliver. This process will be dependent on the time of year. If you need an exchange quickly, we recommend placing a new order for the product online, so it is shipped instantly, and then requesting a refund for the item being sent back. back

E. Can I exchange for a different style?

Unfortunately we are unable to process exchanges to different styles. If you would like a different hat from what you have ordered, we recommend placing a brand new order and returning the original order for a refund. back
