Some items I never received but was told they were shipped. No replacement or refund offered. Got great deals on alot of things. Some things were very cheaply made, luck of the draw I guess.
Every purchase I've made I've been very satisfied. Highly recommend Tophatter!
This is a fantastic place to shop. They are fair and are very quick at taking care of any problems that may arise. I have bid and won the bid on over 200 items. I'm very happy with this on-line site. My credit card security is safe. I have ordered from this place since 2015.
SIMPLY AWESOME SITE
I am pretty satisfied with my experience so far but one item won was missing batteries when I received it.
Everything I have received to date is of good quality and worth the money
It has been a bit and miss with me when it comes to Tophatter. A few items I have purchased have been terrific, while others have been tremendously less than stellar. I do not recommend purchasing anything that has an "As Seen on TV" icon, as they are lower quality knock-offs to the actual item. I have experienced this 100% of the time and consider it false advertisement. This being said, I do give Tophatter two thumbs up for their 30-day return policy.
Take so long to receive items get credits instead of receiving your money back
All items were delivered and they are with very good quality.
I love the items. I really do... and I love bidding...(but)... shipping out items and receiving them, is TOO long?. I have almost 40 items out there. That hasnt arrived yet... truthfully. The shipping is just too long... I've ordered stuff almost a month ago, and never got it yet. This is crazy. Too wait that long for your item... u guys charge my card fast though?. I dont shop on wish.com. For this exact reason. And like I sed. I love ur items. Bidding is fun. On top of that your website is hella slow... it sometimes takes 3 minutes. To bid on something. Becuz it keeps freezing up... and when I wanna check my orders?. It takes so long to get there. And its NOT my phone... so. I'm sorry to say. Ill. Prob not be shopping on here too much longer...
Which Is kinda sad becuz I love all the different items. And bidding..
TopHatter is a fun auction website with a wide variety of products and price range. Not all products live up to expectations, which is predictable, but TopHatter has always quickly responded to my concerns or comments. I enjoy surfing TopHatter and know that I will be treated fairly and quickly.
I love being able to read about the product before I bid on it. I like how if you aren't satisfied you can return it.
Some items I have won are not as they appear in the pictures shown when you are bidding
I love this website. Wish I could order every day. Nice items and fast delivery.
I'm happy to be a shopper of tophatter. It's fun and exciting to bid on the items.
It provides a marketplace for vendors to sell their goods for as much or as little as possible. It's like a flea market. I get system problems at times while bidding, but it's not often.
I like the products I have received. Two of my items were shipped to the wrong State. Shipping takes too long. Some Sellers refund money, instead of shipping item.
Some items are not what I expected but they always try to make it right immediately! Great company to deal with.
So I won 8 auctions on this site I have only received 2 of them now going on four months. When you put in a claim tophatter makes you wait another month for a refund.So I did some research and found that most of the item up for bid you can find on wish.com for the same or lower price and hey guess what if you order from wish you get your item usually within 6 weeks. Using a site like Tophatter where they use 3rd party sellers usually turns out bad the sellers are not honest and take your money. I wish I could give less than a 1 star rating because I would.My advice to you buy direct from wish.com
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.
