Hacker Cup Shirts 2024
By SecondThread, history, 5 weeks ago, In English

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, you'll win a shirt with a top-200 badge on the sleeve, instead of the normal shirt.

You must claim your shirt by December 13th. We will not be shipping shirts after the 13th.

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

Country List

Shirts shipped to addresses in the United States should be delivered within 1 week of being claimed. Shirts delivered to addresses outside the United States may take up to 3 weeks to be delivered.

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:

Update: According to fedex, if you are from India, you must complete the KYC submission process on https://kyc.fedex.com at the earliest failing which these shipments may be returned to the shipper or disposed as deemed appropriate as per local guidelines.

      Thanks! Are you sure this is the contact mail?

      As I chose the wrong country in address and need it be fixed before shipping starts.

      SecondThread I haven't got any reply on the mail I had sent to metaswag. Can you help ?

          No, but I assume Medium would fit me. Leetcode medium shirt fitted well for me. I think same standards as both companies are US-based.

Hey, why are you not shipping to Ukraine? Ukraine is served by FedEx and shipping is allowed under the US law, so I don't see any reasons not to.

    I believe FedEx wouldn’t ship from the US to Ukraine when the country list was compiled. I’m not sure if that has changed since. If so, our distributor’s website should be updated to reflect that.

SecondThread I think there might be a bug in the form menu. I used tab to navigate to the next option, but it triggered submit instead. Now they confirmed it with an incomplete delivery information.

@SecondThread: I haven't received notification about T-shirt prize like in previous years (but was able to order it after finding this thread).

Did something change? (or did Gmail block the intended email for me?)

Hey,

I wanted to know how plagiarism checks work in Hacker Cup. I know a couple of people who have submitted wrong codes (but correct output from their friends) and have all their submissions marked as correct as of now. They are also set to receive a t-shirt as far as I know. Their downloadable submission also does not even show a correct answer for the initial test cases!!

Thanks for the otherwise wonderful contest!

When I click on the link that redirects to the third party vendor, it tells me that this site can't be reached. Some of my friends had this issue as well. What should be done?

    VPN. Take care while filling details. This vendor website is too weird. I put a US address with zip code and I found country set to EG later.

    Hi I am Ashish Kumar, I have encountered a big problem in receiving my Hacker cup t shirt. My shipment has been on hold for 5 days because an empty package was received at the customs clearance. The estimated date to receive it was 30 Nov but today upon contacting FedEx I found out that the facility had received an empty package due to which it was not moving forward. I am deeply concerned. Please send me a new package. My kyc has been completed.

    Tracking Link: https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=770179389314&trkqual=2460638000~770179389314~FX

    Clearly it can be seen that there has been a problem at Memphis, TN. Please help me and provide me some clarification as soon as possible.

Feels weird that there are no "official" reminder to claim T-shirts from Meta....

Just remembered today its time to order T-shirts and got "WARNING: Only 0 stocked items are available of the following product" Sent email to metaswag@nadel.com hope to get it resolved before deadline.

Missed deadline in 2023 as well...

    Very confused.... Still no T-shirts and tomorrow is deadline. Even asked if I can get regular one instead of top-200 just to get something and got rejected.

    The 0 stocked items warning is a symptom of our predicted size distribution not perfectly matching what people actually ordered. Once the deadline to order more has closed, we'll print the rest that we need, and ship those out.

    Despite the warning, were you at least able to place your order successfully?

    It happens to me too.Order gets cancelled because they did not recognize your address in their server.So,mail them and change the address that can be recognize at google maps/their server.
