I bought 2 hats from Jack Carr's website. Long story short, post office delivered it to someone else, said they couldn't get it back, and the people who got it, turned it in unused after 6 months. BUT!!! I told Carr's company about the issue and they sent two more hats for free!! And then when I got the original 2 hats I told Carr's company, and they didn't ask for the free ones back.
