Hot Topic Domestic US Shipping Policy

Hot Topic delivers to many countries worldwide. MyUS is a valuable option to you to combine Hot Topic packages with packages from other stores before shipping directly to you.

A MyUS membership also allows you to compare MyUS international ship rates to Hot Topic international shipping rates. Our members often find MyUS international ship rates are lower than the international ship rates offered through stores because MyUS has negotiated competitive ship rates with top global carriers.

Although Hot Topic’s official policy is not to ship to package forwarders, MyUS members have found their Hot Topic packages successfully delivered to their MyUS suite. In the case your package is not delivered to your MyUS suite, then you will not incur any MyUS ship charges for that package. While you await your package to arrive at MyUS, please kindly direct tracking and delivery inquiries towards the retailer you ordered from.
