I have really had a blast shopping on Tophatter sometimes products arrive late but it's always a good surprise to find a package in the mail they are very good with their refund process and guarantee all products I've shared this app with many friends they all love it thanks Tophatter for my deals
I love TopHatter and delivery is very fast so glad l heard about.
I enjoy the bidding and like most of the items, some items were made small, some items were big, some lost there stones, some items took so long to receive. But all and all I like it
So far all I bought was good, and as expected. Some items take longer than others. Would like to see different items
I think that it come in good timing for the most part but I don't like that most things don't come in boxes and them to me not to be brand new
All my orders are in great condition in a timely to me
Items are slow even for the problems the country is having at this time. Sellers don't seem to care about their products like they are dealing with one time buyers, a fair amount of the product is junk, maybe that is why they don't care how they ship it. On the other I have had the pleasure of dealing with people who do care and take pride in their product and the handling of the same. YOU ASKED
I love the prices I have gotten on items. The arrival times go from quick to a couple of months. Several times I have been refunded my money because the vendor decided not to send the item after a few weeks. It is frustrating to not receive items I have bid on and won. Tophatter's policies have gotten my refunds though.
Tophatter is a great place to shop they are always thinking of the shoppers happiness and satisfaction I will shop there always
Somewhat disappointed as some things still haven't gotten here, somethings didn't work, will keep looking, but may not buy anymore.
I enjoy shopping on Tophatter because there is a wide variety of items to bid for... many of which I didn't know I needed!
I have just started using Tophatter and I am enjoying the items (that came in faster than expected) that I purchased. Everything is in good working order and fits just right.
I bid on many items. If I am not successful, I will wait and bid on the item the next time it comes up. I have seen items go beyond $20.00 and have seen the same item go for $2.00 on a later bid. Just be patient.
About 95% of items are as they are shown in the photos but there is 5% that are not. You need to read before bidding or you may end up with something totally different than what is in the photo that they have for the auction. TOPHATTER is GREAT about refunding though.
I have had an issue with 2 purchases. 1- A headlamp that had no rechargeable batteries included (where do I find these) and no charger (and where do I find this item) with the purchase. Now, had they sent IN THE BOX ALONG WITH THE ITEM, where I could get these items I would not have been so damned pissed off about it, but, when I get an item and it has none of the parts listed in the box, the LEAST that could have been done BY the seller, is to have a list of sellers that HAVE these items for sale, so I could USE the damned thing! When this happens, you get someone like me, that has misgivings about Top Hatter NOT reviewing the types of sellers that sell on their web site. 2- The second was an bid that I WON. It was an RC 4X4, that was won for $8.50. & FREE SHIPPING. 2 months had passed and your folks had no idea where it was. After the 3rd month, I got a refund. I was fine with that, but then I see the SAME ITEM from the SAME SELLER, that was listed with a $35.00 Shipping Fee! WHY did I NEVER receive the order? I have a damned good idea, they NEVER shipped it, let YOU folks give me the refund, made ME wait 3 months for that refund and THEN they added a $35.00 shipping fee! IF THEY ARE GOING TO SELL AN ITEM, AND THEY GET LESS THEN WHAT THEY FEEL IT IS WORTH, THEN THEY SHOULD TAKE IT UP THE $#*! AND NOT MAKE ONE OF YOUR BUYERS AND TOP HATTER PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE! Once again, this falls to Top Hatter for not making sure that their sellers are reputable!
I ordered a nightlight and never received it, I contacted customer service and they said it was delivered and they wouldnt refund me... still havent received the product. Ordered game console and it was never delivered, I was given credit for it. So they kept my money and gave a site credit. I have 6 items to be delivered, but I am discontinuing using this site. They are scammers
Bidding is very active and if you do not win, you again, items keep coming up for bids.
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.
