US Customers: After months of uncertainty, NZ Post has finally resumed sending small parcels to the United States via NZAir International as of Monday, 17 November — reopening a crucial route for our customers.
However, there is a catch. All parcels bound for the United States are now subject to additional duties, taxes, and administrative fees. These charges depend on the specific items in your parcel and the country in which each was originally manufactured. Because South Pacific Berets sources berets from many regions, the resulting tariffs can vary widely.
These extra costs are not displayed at checkout. They are applied only once your parcel leaves New Zealand, and South Pacific Berets is invoiced for them afterward — making it impossible to provide an exact upfront amount. To cover these imposed fees, you will receive, together with your order confirmation, an additional invoice of $22.50 per beret.
South Pacific Berets is an on-line store dedicated to the Basque Beret.
It all
started in 2008, when searching for information about the Basque Beret and finding
there was practically nothing available
in English and very little in French and Spanish. There seemed to be a clear
need for a book on berets. And with the work on the manuscript came a blog,
'The Beret Project'.
It didn't
take long to discover that I wasn't the only person fascinated by this humble,
but age old piece of headgear. I discovered that thousands of people from
literally all over the world were interested in the beret and keen to find out
more - including where to buy quality berets and, wanting to share my passion
for this headgear, I looked for ways to let more people enjoy the pleasure of
wearing a traditionally made quality beret. South Pacific Berets, and later Boneteria Aotearoa, is the result.
These days
South Pacific Berets is by far the most specialized beret shop anywhere in the
world, stocking berets in a huge variety of colours, diameters and sizes; in
merino wool, cotton, linen and modern manmade materials, with and without headband; everyday use workers berets
and top of the line impermeable luxurious berets.
More than
being "just" a retailer, I am passionate about my products and always
happy to engage with my customers, work on special requests, do historical
research, go out of my way to answer beret-related questions.
