Seveeral months ago we stopped selling the Ball Caps and for several good reasons.
Gladys, the embroidery queen, wore out her $2000 sewing machine and could not justify replacing it. I learned quite a few new words when she was sewing the caps. We were purchasing decent hats wholesale and the company dropped the line and introduced a new line at almost twice the cost. The Post Office increased the cost of shipping. Shipping to the USA went from $5.00 to almost $8.00. To ship in Canada to the west coast it was over $14.00. Even having a commercial account with Canada Post, the costs were outrageous. Fedex, UPS and others out completely out of the picture. Every time the costs went up, I tried to absorb it but eventually it was costing us and Gladys got nothing for her frustrations. I'll pursue the matter this summer and see if we can get a commercial company to make the hats for us at a reasonable cost and see if there is a shipping method that is affordable. Now if you have someone who can handle a needle and thread, Gladys is still doing the embroidered C&C patches on another machine. Get yourself a hat and have someone sew the patch on for you. I'll certainly look into the possibility of getting the hats back online.
