Why do you ask for my birth date?
We age screen our users to ensure that we don't collect personally
identifying information from people under 18 years of age.
You must be 18 or older to order. For more information,
please review our Privacy Policy.

Why do I need a password for registration?
Your password provides an extra level of security for the personal information you share with us,
and will help protect against any unauthorized changes to your account after you complete the registration process.
Back to top
Why won't the system accept my credit card number?
The most common problem is typos. When you enter the number, please type very carefully.
Do not enter dashes, commas, or spaces between the card numbers.
If you get an error message that asks you to re-enter information about your credit card,
make sure you re-enter all the information - the credit card type, account number and expiration date.
The information is not stored in our system until registration is complete.

I had an item in my shopping cart, but when I went to check out it was removed and the item is now sold out. What happened?
Like many other online shopping sites, hotwheelsshop.com utilizes a virtual shopping cart in which items may be placed
prior to check out. Items may be held in the shopping cart, but are not guaranteed to be available for purchase until the
check out process has been completed. An item is only guaranteed once the order is completely processed and a
confirmation response is received.

Click here
for our complete shipping price chart.
Please note: Canada Delivery fees are costs paid through a customs broker to allow delivery to your door. They are comprised of applicable duties, taxes and brokerage fees. All prices quoted are in U.S. dollars.
Back to top
Can I have items sent to multiple addresses on the same order?
Certainly! During the
checkout process, you will be asked whether you are
shipping to your billing address, to a single shipping
address other than your billing address, or to more
than one address. Just select "Ship my items to more
than one address" on the Shipping Address Options screen
and continue as instructed.
Only one shipping method is allowed per order. The standard shipping rates apply
for the first address in your order; each additional address costs only $5.95
per address. (For shipments to multiple Canadian addresses, taxes apply for each shipping address used.)
Back to top
Can I have an order shipped outside the U.S. and Canada?
No, orders can be shipped within the U.S., its territories, and Canada only.
If you have a friend or family member in the U.S. who can receive shipments
for you, we can accept international billing, but the ship-to address must
be within the U.S., its territories, and Canada only. Restriction on international
shipments is not a Mattel-specific issue. Many companies do not ship internationally
due to complex business issues surrounding currency conversion, international
shipping regulations and restrictions, cost, and systems issues.

Yes. We offer standard delivery to APO/FPO addresses. Unfortunately,
Rush delivery to APO/FPO addresses is not available at this time.
