Shipping & Returns

Last updated: June 28, 2026

We want you to be happy with your hats. This policy explains when refunds and returns are available and how to request one. It applies to all orders placed on lidmasters.com.

Retail orders

Retail (non-custom) hats may be returned within 30 days of delivery if they are unworn, unwashed, in original condition, and with all original tags attached. To start a return, email us first -- do not ship items back without a return authorization.

  • Return shipping is the customer's responsibility unless the item arrived defective.
  • Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5-10 business days after we receive and inspect the return.
  • We cover outbound shipping on every order.

Custom orders

Custom hats are produced to your specifications. Because each order is unique and cannot be resold, custom orders are non-refundable and non-returnable once production begins. Production begins when you approve your digital proof.

Before proof approval: if you change your mind before approving the proof, contact us and we will cancel the order and issue a full refund.

Defective workmanship: if your custom order arrives with a manufacturing defect (misaligned patch, wrong color, damaged hat, etc.), contact us within 14 days of delivery with photos. We will remake the affected items at no charge or, at our discretion, issue a refund for those items. Defects caused by use, washing, or alterations after delivery are not covered.

Limited Lifetime Patch Warranty

This is a limited warranty. If the leatherette patch on a hat you bought directly from us peels, lifts, or cracks under normal use, we will repair or replace it for as long as you own the hat. At our discretion, we may replace the patch, replace the hat, or issue a refund. Limit one replacement per hat.

Covered: the patch failing on its own (peeling, lifting, or cracking) from a defect in our materials or workmanship under normal wear and care.

Not covered: damage from tools, prying, cutting, solvents, or force (regardless of any product demonstrations); intentional damage or removal; accidents and ordinary wear; gradual fading of the patch or hat over time; improper care; lost or stolen hats; and hats not purchased directly from LiDMasters.

To claim: email orders@lidmasters.com from your order email with your order number and a photo. We reply within 2 business days, and for covered claims we cover return shipping if we ask for the hat back.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary by state. LiDMasters LLC, 1227 3rd St, International Falls, MN 56649.

Damaged in transit

If your package arrives damaged or items are missing, contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the package and contents. We will help open a claim with the carrier and replace or refund affected items.

Lost packages

If tracking shows a package as delivered but you have not received it, please check with your household, neighbors, and local carrier first. If it is still missing after 48 hours, contact us and we will help file a carrier claim.

How to request a refund or return

  1. Email orders@lidmasters.com with your order number and the issue.
  2. For defects or transit damage, attach clear photos.
  3. We will reply within 2 business days with next steps.
