Too Feminine to Function Hat
We’re never getting it, are we? The thing that’s enraging is I paid for it months ago, so they are making money off the interest while we get nothing and I’m starting to think it’s just eventually going to be canceled.

Ah the classic pre-order hostage situation, they got your money and you got a email with a button that says please keep waiting

I just want to know what the hold-up is.
I can wait - I really want the hat, but I'd like more info and a concrete timeline. Ah well

Seriously! It’s just a hat, not an individualized made to order piece!

Yeah, I got the hoodie for my wife. We knew she wouldn’t have it for her birthday in June but this is getting… a bit ridiculous.
I said yes to wait this time, but if it gets delayed again…I dunno.

If another delay happens I'll probably just cancel. I really want that hat and the palm shirt but at this point I don't want to ever order from this merch shop ever again.
Just give me the frickin vinyls I had with that order and I'll be done with it Jfc.
Not only did most of us pay MONTHS ago, but you can still go order all this stuff on the website and it just says it will ship whenever. So they keep that sales opens while also having our money.

I ordered the same two items and I'll keep waiting, whatever, but this whole "if you don't keep hitting this button we will cancel your order" is annoying. I get a lot of spam emails, the odds of me missing one of these stupid "are you sure you still want it" is pretty good if it keeps up like this.

Exactly. I’m also still waiting for my Second Favorite Frontman hat which you can still order tho it says low stock. How about NO stock because I ordered in June!

Same, I'm so annoyed!! The original ship date was July 31, it's absurd that we still don't have them.

If there are this many delays and issues with shipping out the preorders then WHY ARE THESE ITEMS STILL BEING SOLD ON THE WEBSITE?! Clicking on the TFTF hat on the website right now gives an estimated ship date of 9/4. Clearly that estimated ship date is a lie so why are they still accepting orders if they haven’t been able to fulfill the preorders from May yet??
Also, thank you OP for posting this. It let me know to check my email so my order doesn’t get automatically canceled at the end of the month 🫠

Just a heads up, y'all may have to pay import tax. I waited months for my choker and had to pay an additional $40 to get it delivered 🙄

Y'all that hat was too expensive to not have it in your hands asap. That is ridiculous.
I'm sorry their service has been crappy.

Oh man, I bought the hat on the first pre-order and received it back in June. Only just realised it’s a dodgy one though as the sigil embroidery is missing from the back. They have offered me a refund or a replacement subject to stocks ; tempted to get a replacement as it is really cool with the sigil, but sounds like it might never appear! Hope you all received yours soon, and be sure to check the back when you eventually do get it!

I literally put my order in the moment it was announced the stuff went on the site back in May and I'm still waiting on it

Does anyone know who fulfills her merch? (Label or third party?)
I pre- ordered a hat around the same time (May) from Hayley Williams' site and her orders are filled through a third party company called Sandbag. They had no communication about delays and it was supposed to be delivered in June. When I reached out in August they said they didn't have stock or a timeline of when they were getting stock. Meanwhile- people were recieving the hat and it showed in stock on the site. I canceled my order and took a risk to reorder and had it in two weeks.
I am curious if it is the same company. I am also waiting on/getting these emails for this hat and the second favorite front man hat. I am at least happy for the communication from Florence's site.

I ended up canceling the bat fan; I just want my Sigil tote.

This happened to me, too, for the screaming in a hole poster and long sleeve t-shirt.
I got the poster last week on the 28th, but not the shirt.
While the store has been responsive with emails, it’s been over three months since I ordered these items (back on May 26) on pre-order that was supposed to ship on July 31. Very frustrating!!

I just went to check and see if there was an update on my hoodie (herbs) and IT SHIPPED THIS MORNING.
So some items appear to be moving.
Just not this one.
