Shipping
Q : I didn’t receive my Hacktoberfest 2019 T-shirt/swag.
We are no longer printing 2019 T-shirts. If you did not receive your T-shirt, this means we tried to deliver multiple times unsuccessfully. We are working hard on improving the shipping process this year so that everyone receives their T-shirts.
Thank you for your understanding.
