I feel so welcome!

I never leave a mall that has a Hot Topic without shopping at said store. I love their merchandise and the customer services is always spectacular. I always find some sort of little treasure whether it be for me or someone else. I love that it has such a variety of pop culture items and isn't intimidating or discriminating to any fandom.

I love Hot Topic!
They have the best assortment of clothing for fans of pop culture young and old! :)
I recently purchased a number of Sailor Moon and Adventure Time items which I love!
Their shipping is extremely high when coming to Canada. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get hit with customs every time :/
I wish they would ship FROM Canada. But besides that, I love it!
And I continue to shop there. I just get friends to pitch in on orders so we can split shipping :)
Love Hot Topic! Such a fun store! I always get compliments on my clothing items from there :)

I love this store! It's recently become one of my must shop stores when I'm in the states, as well I've started ordering online from them. Like Lath mentioned, a lot of people think it's 'goth' clothing, sure some of it is, but a lot isn't. I love their women's printed tees (my boyfriend is a fan of their guys selection as well)! They have a lot of cute but stylish options like disney, old-school characters/movie/tv shows, band and recent movie tees, as well, they're all decently priced! They have a ton of cute and funky accessories.
I've shopped in-store and online. Both have been a positive experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful in-store and everything was pretty easy to find. Online they provided various payment options and shipping to Canada was fairly quick. I've never had any problems with my orders either.

I really like this store. Some stuff is a little skaterish, but I like the tees and skirts there. I also like how they also sell accessories there as well as clothes.

I love this store! I can't even remember where I heard about it, but I have been buying from them online for years now. I've only had the privilege of going to two different Hot Topic stores while in New York and I just love it! Their tag line is "everything about the music". It's a great place to get band tees, accessories, CDs, and vinyl. I love going through the women's section to look for new cool fashion tees, hoodies, etc. There is more than you think there. No, it's not a "goth" store, as some people I know thought. If you look I bet that you will find something there for you, even if it is just socks, underwear, or a cool new pair of shoes. You should check it out, you may be surprised.

Tip: if you're buying online sign up and make a wish list. Some items are always selling out, and it's best to keep it on a wish list so you know when it's in stock again. Also, if you're a smaller size, chances are you can wait for sales (those are usually the only sizes left when a sale goes on because merchandise moves fast!).
