I enjoy checking out what is on site daily.
Few problems, but you have made them right fast. Do wish more things came from US so I don't have to wait so long for delivery.

I have had issues with all sites I use, the key is the follow up and service when things don't go as planned. Tophatter has been very fast in fixing issues and have never failed to fix and reverse any charge where the product failed my expectations. Very good people to deal with.

Great shopping sight
March 15, 2019

I have had a good expierence with tophatter. My only problem is sometimes the items are not fully up to par standards, i have been quite upset with the craftsmanship a few times. These items are not worth the time of day or my time to go through the hassle of buying, but it is hard to tell from a pic what you are getting

People, go to Aliexpress.com or Banggood.com or alibaba.com or any other Chinese site and you will find your item for 1/10th of what you are paying on tophatter.com

My experience with this site has been nothing but horrible. Customer service is bad, the products are mostly bad, the overall experience is terrible.

Hi Marwan,

Thank you for your review.

I am terribly sorry your experience on Tophatter didn't meet your expectations. We definitely want all of your experiences to be pleasing.

One of the great aspects of bidding on Tophatter is you pay what you want for item that do not have reserved prices. You can bid as high or as low as you want and stop bidding at anytime. If you find an item cost more than you are willing to pay, you can set a reminder for the item by clicking on the heart icon. You will receive a notification when the item is back up for auction. I hope this helps.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

Tophatter Support
March 14, 2019

I recently received a product I ordered through Tophatter that was not as described. I responded to a request to give a review of that item. The item was still usable, however I did not get the multiple color selection described, and the cost to return it would have been more than the item itself. Tophatter's Customer Support was on top of their game and issued an immediate refund. I was shocked at how positive they responded to my review alone. Awesome experience!

Very interesting... and addicting!
March 14, 2019

I have made numerous purchases. So many items take so long to receive that I thought I wouldn't get them at all! 2 of the items were a bit disappointing... 1 was nothing like the picture I bid on... the other had nothing written in English. However, that being said, I continue to come back as the pros have outweigh the cons :)

I have ordered a lot of items and it seems I get broken or wrong items. I was supposed to get silver twisted hoops instead I got big over hoops. I also had to change a ticket for a size but still got the original size ordered.

I have gotten such fantastic deals on Tophatter! Be sure to carefully read the description, you are not going to get a diamond for $10, but you will get stylish jewellery and amazing prices on other items that are currently trending.

I have successfully bid on and won 100's of items. My biggest complaint with them is nowhere do they require the sellers to state whether or not the ship to certain USA addresses. In my case, Alaska. When I "win" on larger ticket items the sellers very often just refund my money stating they don't ship to Alaska or Hawaii. Fair enough. THEN SAY SO IN YOUR AD! Even after contacting Tophatter customer support numerous times on this issue, they can't seem to get their sellers to state so in the ads. It is super annoying. In the last case the seller refunded my money stating they were out of stock. What kind of scam is that?

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your review.

Sellers have the ability to ship items from any location of their choosing, and some ship from multiple locations to get items to you more quickly. Therefore we do not show a seller's location on item listings, and instead provide an expected range of time to delivery.

I'm terribly sorry to hear the seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. Thank you.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

A lot of the items on this site could be obtained on other sites with half of the hassle. This site doesn't give a detailed look at all the items you bid for.
