Hi
Shipping hats is a nightmare. also, in past, many never filled out the form in timely manner or filled it out correctly. And, many didn't get it due to shipping issues, especially outside the USA.
Sadly, this is a much simpler and effective solution to the problem.

p.s we are aiming for the downtime tonight but until we know for sure, I won't have the announcement. I would likely know after 6pm PDT
