Remember, in most cases the merchandise is returned at the expense of the buyer, so it would make sense for you to select an inexpensive mailing option. Use mailing box that will prevent the hat from being damaged. You can use the original box in which the hat was mailed to you or a similarly-sized box bought at your local post office.
