I received this hat today and it is gorgeous. Nice quality, color is sharp in excellent condition. Came to me packaged very well. I recommend this seller and would easily order items again. Good job!! Delivery was messed up but that was the post office not performing. Nothing to do with the seller. So I am saying Yes on the delivery as I am assuming that question pertains to the seller getting it shipped in a timely manner, which they did.
