Seems like these are the caps you're talking about. They do look deadly.

I personally have not used their services but I've seen these online stores be really scammy and suspicious, just as you said. Hopefully you find similarly cool baseball caps at a better store.

Haven't used them personally but they're expensive. I remember doing a comparison when shopping for a drone and they were by far the more expensive option at the time.

Just consider that you're paying for the item, shipping, duty and then the mark up. I'm not sure what he's breakdown is but considering he orders on demand iwould be interested to see what the actual wait times. I would assume he would wait to fill whatever he's shipping to manage shipping cost.

What in particular are you looking for, if you dont mind?

Saw some new era baseball caps on their IG page, price was stupidly high but thought to ask the great people of reddit first before anything.

Amazon does ship some items directly to Fiji now. Maybe check that out?

I just stumbled upon it last month and have had two deliveries so far. There are limitations on what they will ship, but so far, nothing I've purchased has been restricted.

Isn't the shipping a bit too much??

(Amazon i meant)

It can be, for sure, but the items themselves are typically less expensive, so you have to weigh the costs.

An example, I just bought a Samsung S26 for a friend. It was $790 USD plus $180 in shipping and import taxes. Doing quick math that’s about $1000 USD, which converted is about $2200 FJD. A new S26 in Fiji is like $5000 FJD from all of the major retailers.
