100% very happy with you all products. Shipping right on time. Have told friends and family about site.
While I would give Tophatter a 5 for online auction, communication and satisfaction of products won, I can only give the site as a whole about a 2 1/2. Many items I purchased were not as advertised, 1 didn't work at all and others were just so-so. Some were very nice and definitely worth much more than what I paid. I did get total satisfaction when not satisfied with an item and was immediately refunded with courtesy so I praise Tophatter for that. I would just ask that seller's items be checked out before approving them for auction in future. Thanks.
Mostly fair pricing. My biggest complaint is receiving store credit instead of a refund on out of stock items. Buyers should have a choice.
I just received this email yesterday (11/23/2020) and still have not received my items, which were marked as delivered (11/14/2020). This is not the first item I have not received but you have it marked as delivered. I want my money back and I will not be ordering from you anymore because it seems like there is a problem with my deliveries and items arrive with no instructions and everything is in a different language that I can't even read and I don't get everything that is described! It was supposed to be a set of dolls and I only received one 1, or the Cars set of vehicles with no Tractor-trailer which is shown in the picture when bidding! I did not receive either of them in the boxes shown! The first two pictures are from the bidding site and the other 2 are what I received!
Items not as they appear having a problem with item have not gotten a response to my problem. Not to happy. I just received the mop head.
I always have a good time while on Tophatter. I have purchased many many things and only had problems with 1 item so far and that was awhile ago. The item just was cheaply made. It was a toy, so no big deal. I rarely pay over $5.00 for my items and am excited to get my packages.
It is impossible to get a hold of anyone with Top Hatter to help resolve issues. I've purchased an item that did not include all the contents promised. I also ordered a clothing item that was the wrong size. I emailed Top Hatter and never received a response.
Everything was perfect but last 2 orders I never received but its saying I did. I am just waiting to see if I will receive any of my other orders
I think Tophatter really resolve your issues. Great company. I recommend them, lots of different items to please everyone. Love getting diamond paintings there.
They need to investigate their sellers a bit better. Jewelry generally isn't what it is advertised, not silver or gold and the stones are a fake as well.
Other products much smaller than they appear.
Amazing deals, free offers, and you DO receive what you order. I have ordered more than 20 items since becoming a member. I have begun to receive the ordered items. I was so amazed at some of the deals, that I referred my own Mother, whom if I wasn't happy, I would never have done so. She has ordered many things and they have begun to arrive too.
They have deals, by way of free points you can use to exchange for actual money towards you purchase cost, and even the shipping too!
And when you use that, there isn't a gimmick, like you can only use so much towards a purchase. I have bought 6 things and never even had to enter any payment details, AND THEY SHIPPED.
Shipping tends to be a little slow, but to their credit most items are being shipped from overseas. However, they do provide tracking information, and most importantly they Guarantee 100% customer satisfaction.
I have recommended Tophatter to all of my family and friends.
I have no complaints whatsoever in regards to any aspect of my experiences with Tophatter.
Thanks for being such a good company.
There are more then 26 items that have been marked as received and I have NOT received any of them and I get no reply when I complain. Will not buy from these people any more.
I received 10 dollar gold bank note, also the bettles signed trading cards but no gold quarter is paid for would like to get it. It's been payed for it
Oh I am really happy with my purchases and the time I receive them, they are exactly like they are described
Tophatter gives you the ability to purchase items for very little with its bidding aspect, it also offers you free credits so that you can possibly get items completely free, I know I have. However the shipping time on said items is generally very slow and sporadic. I have items that were supposed to arrive in early September and still haven't in late November. Product quality can also range anywhere from amazing to nothing like the product and already broken. Everything shows up in sketchy packaging and the tracking details on the items are often blatant lies. However you can review each item in the app so that people know not to buy said things. Sellers can choose to not show that rating however and people end up with broken stuff or things completely different than advertised anyways. The attached picture shows 2 great knives and a ring I've recieved from Tophatter.
This is where you can find some one of a kind items and some great bargains. Enjoy shopping here ad you will too!
I have bought stuff that I have not got, damaged or half an order was missing parts. It doesn't make sense to return it because shipping is more than you paid for the item. Some of the pics of items are misleading. Im not saying everything is like that and their have been purchases that i was very happy with.
Everything I have received has been what expected. Takes a very long time to get delivery if you get it, Will tell you it has been delivered and NOTHING! Would be nice to get quicker delivery.
Ordered a large quartz crystal. Their Ad shows a picture of someone holding it. It's approx 12" tall. What they actually sent was smaller than my pinky finger, and about 1inch tall. When I asked for a refund, they said they would give me store credit. I do not want to do any further business with them and wanted my money back. Had to call my credit card company and get it refunded. It's a scam to take your money.
Answer: There is also the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION that can help with these types of problems
Answer: You have to read the descriptions. It will tell you if it's real or plated.
Answer: Do not deal with this company,,, all jewelery is crap n cheap
Answer: Tophatter will screw you over. Shop Amazon or overstock.
Answer: Good luck! Tophatter rippes off the sellers so they are not going to be very likely to return your money.
Answer: Justin you are absolutely correct. I find out the hard way. I had my own auction with nice AUTHENTIC designer items and cosmetics (Becca, Cargo, Smahbox, Too Faced, etc). I lost big time. $40 Cargo palette sold for $10; it cost me $15. Items that I started higher to cover my cost never sold. I still had to pay fees for the item being listed. A $200 Calvin Klein purse sold for $20; it cost me $80 wholesale. Run!
Answer: If you end up buying a few items from the same seller they can do a combined shipment but you rarely get the same buyer items since they only let the sellers sell 10 items a day. It is different for the sellers that have their own auctions.
Answer: You will notice the same names no matter the day, time etc. Bidding against you very often. Is it a coincidence? Personally I don't believe in coincidences.
Answer: Depends on what you are selling. Yes, a lot of items go unsold in the jewelry and accessories categories... as well as others. Coach and Michael Kors and other designer brands, not much goes unsold, because here's the catch - - you pay fees on the starting bid. TH wants everything to start at $1. So you get punished if you start higher as to not get screwed by a low purchase price. Say you buy a designer bag for $120. If you start that bag at $100, you're already paying over $10 in fees. **IF** you can manage to sell it for a profit, there are still the commission and bank fees. If you start it at $1, you're barely paying any listing fees but it might only sell for $80 (or less!). So, less fees, but you lost your ass on the item. It's messed up. Most sellers have put in their time to see if they can make a profit or to see if TH will change, but they all seem to end up leaving. I'm convinced the only ones who stay to sell there are the counterfeit or crappy quality sellers who are buying items for next to nothing, because that seems to be the only way to make a profit there these days. I would go the ebay route if you're looking to sell.
Answer: Yes! Sale of counterfeit items is prohibited. If you are concerned about the authenticity of an item purchased on the platform, you may return it for up to 30 days from delivery. See full details on our return policy here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
