ANYONE HAVE NEWS ON THE NEW FEDERATIONS?
I ordered mine a while ago. They are supposed to be here by the middle of the month is what I was told a while back. Just wondering if anyone has any updates

GRRR! 'm jumping out of my skin because I am so anxious to start wearing it around! I can't wait for mine! I am so excited to receive it!
Sorry I just had to vent that to keep me going. I just don't know how you guys can wait 8-12+ months for a AB! Its only been two weeks for me and I'm already like this!
I have been emailing them at least once a week asking them if there are any updates. They said they'll email me when they get pics and other info.

It should be interesting to know if Akubra will continue to produce the "old" federation...It was not a "bad" hat and we don't know if the new model will be so satisfying.
But, I'm very curious because it's really too long to wait for an AB or a JPD when we are lucky to have an answer and HJ is, for this moment not really in touch (strange to loose a such market especially with the market on Internet...I don't understand these people...).
Waiting, waiting
Regards
Anjali

I believe they bill you in Australian Dollars at the time you order it. Your credit card company will convert to US Dollars, Pounds, or Euros at their current rate. Hats Direct just gives the most recent rate as a convenience, your financial institution has the final say on conversion rate.
From their common questions link:
Why does the price change in my currency?
We sell hats in Australian dollars. We do not alter the price. The price fluctuates because the other currencies may increase or decrease in value reltive to the $Au. This could make the hat more or less in your currency - we have no way to control this.

I was given a choice to be billed when I placed the order or when the order shipped, I chose to be billed at the time of ordering. Saved me a few US Dollars and Hats Direct got the net present value of the cash immediately.uncle ogs wrote:If you placed a preorder for them are you billed as per the exchange rate at the time of ordering then?
Win-win.

Anyone have an answer to this question?airforceindy wrote:According to the link that AC posted, the Fed and Dlx are only offered in the Dark Brown. I was under the impression that Ron was going to be offering them in a broader range, to include the tawny fawn, black, and carbon gray. Or is this just a slow start with the new product?
The colours for both hats are listed here:

Got a reply from Ron yesterday night:
I think by end of April, Beginning May we should start getting them. Keep our whips crossedwe are expecting the new stock to arrive very soon and when they arrive they will go out in the order that orders came in to us so it may take a week to send out the back orders.

I have some information, but it appears that I am not supposed to say anything.Michaelson wrote:Amazing! Ron asked me to be his point of contact, and wanted me to keep quiet until he had inventory in hand. Now he's telling anyone who sends him an email what the status is!
Well then, if you need any updates, drop Ron a line!

just chiming in... I recieved an email this morning (4-16) from Jenny @ Hats Direct stating the same that Ron's impersonator stated above...it reads as follows:We are expecting delivery of the new Federation IV very soon and when they arrive they will go out in the order that orders came in to us so it may take a week to send out the back orders.
As soon as your hat is ready for shipping, we will contact you with the shipping details.
Cheers Jenny....I am chomping at the bit to get my new tawny fawn Fed IV...
