Stand by your hat

December 28, 2015 5:32 PM

I really really really really want this exact hat, which is only available in the UK. Do I have options?

I want this hat in burgundy. As far as I can tell, H&M in the US is sold out, but the UK site has it.

I don't think there's any way to order the hat from the UK site, but I'd like to buy like 3 or 4 of them so I have this hat forever (I LOVE it and I typically hate hats). I had one but I lost it tonight at Star Wars.

I don't mind going through some kind of Taskrabbit-y thing but I don't really understand them or which one is best/most active. Is there a good way to get my mitts on this hat?

It will probably not be so cheap, but if you really want the hat and it can be bought online in the UK, then you can use Skypax or a similar service to reship it.

(I have not used Skypax myself, but friends in Hong Kong use it.)

I live in the UK! I could buy the hats and ship them to you. It really wouldn't be that expensive for me to ship to the US.

Feel free to MeMail me if you're keen/want to discuss further details. I've done this for my brother before. He wanted a hat from a company that only ships within Europe. He lives in the States. I had the hat shipped to me and sent it onwards.

I live in the UK and have "native" access to the USPS as well. Happy to help.

If you need another back-up option - I'm happy to get them and ship them to you in the US too.
