American Middleman anyone?

Oct 22, 2014 21:27

All I'm after is the Pikachu scarf and a pair of men's PJ pants from Hot Topic. Naturally this stuff isn't available outside of the US or I'd order it myself. I'm happy to arrange commission or some kind of compensation.
Thanks guys!

UGH THOSE PJ PANTS. I'm pretty sure they screwed up on that one, the starters ones ship here and so do most of the other pants in that style with different licences. I was gonna buy them but they told me I couldn't ship Dickies/Vans here. like whaaaat ht you suck they aren't dickies/vans. SO I JUST BOUGHT HOGWARTS ONES INSTEAD lmao

but also they suck hardcore with paypal because like.
> paypal
> NOPE WE DON'T TAKE YOUR NON-US PAYPAL ACCOUNT LOLOLOL
> friend's US paypal
> NOPE YOU CAN'T SHIP TO AUSTRALIA WITH A US PAYPAL ACCOUNT LOLOLOL
so i ended up buying myself an e-giftcard with my paypal balance and using that. but they make you buy it in whole dollars. so i have 14 cents left . if you would like a 14 cent hot topic gift card let me know.

OHMAGERD 14 WHOLE CENTS? Wow totes need that :P
Yea I kinda found that confusing where they're all "we'll ship internationally!" and then you try to use paypal and they're like NOPE.

I could buy the Discord funko figure but I'd actually like to buy all the things. ESP since those pants were actually going to be a gift...and the scarf? What's up with that?I JUST WANT A COOL SCARF FOR NOT $30 OK THANKS.

HEY IT'S 14 WHOLE CENTS YOU COULD OTHERWISE SPEND ON... like... a candy at the school tuckshop or something. idk.

I think they just haven't thought it out properly yet. Like, they're not used to doing the whole INTERNATIONAL thing and they haven't taken limitations off properly. They're such a big company you'd think they could work it out though...

And dude that scarf is pretty nifty.

Are you still looking for these? I don't have any Hot Topic stores nearby, but if it's something I can order online, I'd be willing to order it, have it shipped to me, then ship it to you. However, I'm not sure if shipping to me would be free or not (some sites ship free to the US over a certain dollar amount, some don't), or how much shipping to you would cost.

I am still after them, yes :) They can be ordered online, I'm not sure how much US shipping is either, but it shouldn't be too expensive. There's also a hoodie I'm considering, I'm sure he's like it... I'll let you know what I'm after and then we can figure out some kind of compensation :)

So I talked to a Hot Topic employee today and he claimed that they now offer international shipping on their website. His exact words were "we just updated it two days ago so you should ask your friend to try again." If you can't get it to work I'm still willing to middleman the things for you (just link me), but I thought I would mention it just in case it works now. Also, apparently US shipping is free. So if I do end up middlemanning this for you, you'll only have to pay shipping once.
