Why Order xQc Merch Internationally
xQc's audience spans the globe from Canada to Australia. Official merch lets you represent your favorite streamer with designs that reflect his personality and inside jokes. The drops are often limited, so international fans need to act fast. In my experience, the Emote Hoodie sells out within hours of a restock because of its unique print and heavyweight feel. Missing out due to shipping worries isn't necessary when you plan ahead.
How to Place an International Order on the xQc Store
Ordering from outside the US is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Browse the Store - Visit the xQc store and pick your items. Pay attention to sizing charts; chest and length measurements are in inches. 2. Add to Cart and Proceed to Checkout - Click the cart icon and select "Checkout." 3. Enter Your International Address - Fill in your full shipping address, including postal code and country. Avoid abbreviations that local carriers might not recognize. 4. Select Shipping Method - The store offers standard and expedited options. For most international orders, standard is 10-20 business days. 5. Complete Payment - Use a credit card or PayPal. PayPal is especially good for currency conversion because it shows you the exact amount in your local currency before you confirm.
Pro Tip: Use PayPal to avoid surprise exchange rate fees from your bank. Also, double-check that your phone number is included so customs can reach you if needed.
Shipping Times, Customs, and Import Fees
Shipping to Canada usually takes 7-12 business days; to the UK or Australia, 10-20 business days. Tracking is provided once the order ships. Customs and import duties are your responsibility and vary by country. For example, orders over $40 CAD to Canada may incur taxes, while the UK charges VAT on items above £15. In my experience, many fans are caught off guard by these fees, which can add 15-25% to the total. Check your country's import threshold before ordering so the cost doesn't exceed your budget.
Tips for a Smooth Delivery and Returns
- Address Accuracy - Mistype your street number or forget a postal code and your package risks being returned. Always copy your address from an official document.
- Consider a Shipping Forwarder - If the store doesn't offer direct shipping to your country, use a service like MyUS or Planet Express. They give you a US address and forward packages internationally.
- Sizing Consistency - The hoodies and tees run true to size based on standard US sizing. If you're between sizes, go up because 100% cotton shrinks slightly in the dryer.
- Defects and Returns - If your item arrives damaged or misprinted, take photos and contact our support team via the contact form. We'll issue a replacement or refund. International returns are not accepted for size changes due to shipping costs, so measure carefully before ordering.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Ignoring the sizing chart and assuming your local size matches US sizes.
- Selecting expedited shipping thinking it avoids customs delays (customs processes are independent of shipping speed).
- Forgetting to convert prices to your currency and overspending.
