Meta Hacker Cup Shirts

Hacker Cup shirts are back this year! If you placed in the top 2000 of Round 2, you'll have a shirt available on your Hacker Cup Profile page. If you placed in the top 200 of Round 3 and solved at least one problem correctly in that round, you'll win a shirt with a top-200 badge on the sleeve, instead of the normal shirt.

You must claim your shirt by January 31st. We will not be shipping shirts claimed after the 31st.

Due to regulations, Meta is also not able to support prize shipments to the following countries at this time:

Country List

Links to track your shipment can be found on your profile page once your shirt is shipped. Please note that you must have to claim your shirt from our vendor's website using the code in your profile. Their website looks like this:

Note: According to FedEx, if you are from India, you must complete the KYC submission process on https://kyc.fedex.com. If you do not, your prize will be returned to the shipper or disposed as deemed appropriate as per local guidelines.

I claimed the shirt two weeks ago and am only now being informed that KYC is required for shipments to India to avoid the package being discarded. This should have been communicated earlier. How can I confirm whether the shipment has already been discarded? The tracking ID is still unavailable in my profile. When I try to complete the KYC process, it asks for an Air Waybill number, which I have not received. What should I do?

I ordered the t-shirt more than a week ago. In the order confirmation email that I received, it says "no shipping required". Is this fine? Is anybody else also seeing this?

    I checked my old emails. In 2021, it was a 5-month window to claim the t-shirt.

    I am still grateful for Meta to host such event. But it feels so Meta that it does not worry about its reputation.

    The FedEx staff will contact you directly to request the necessary clearance instructions and invoice for the shipment. Please keep your phone available and check your email regularly. UPD: Clearance completed. Awaiting delivery.

I haven't received the T-shirt, and I haven't received any info about it from anyone after the confirmation e-mail from Nadel Shop (1,5 months ago). Tracking code in the profile is still not available. I tried to contact support at [email protected] and [email protected] and haven't received any response from them. Does anyone have a similar experience? I live in Germany.

    I eventually got a tracking code via email (not on the hackercup site) and received the shirt a week ago. (I live in the Netherlands). I was early with claiming the shirt.

So, I’d like to join in on the questions as well.

Meta Hacker Cup - 2025: T-Shirt
    Status: CLAIMED
    Tracking Code: Not available yet
    Used Claim Code: [...]

What are the next steps?

I’m part of a volunteer organisation that runs a local math olympiad. We also send out certificates. Our event took place in November, and we only managed to send out the certificates last week. At least we published a statement on our website to keep participants informed about the delay.

Given that, I’m honestly a bit surprised that a global player like Meta seems to struggle with something as simple as shipping a T‑shirt. Or even sending an email, I had to keep an eye on the deadline myself just to make sure I didn't miss the ordering window. :(
