Bid at your own risk
January 28, 2019

My first and last experience with Tophatter. Bid for the iMac and won but I realized afterwards, I could get a cheaper and better iMac from Amazon. Delivery was extremely slow/late, and it was delivered damaged. They offered a special deal during checking out so I got a 2nd iMac but when I needed to return it due to damaged iMac, I had to pay for my own postage. No exchange, no replacement, no service whatsoever except return policy so bid at your own risk.

Hi Song,

Thank you for your review.

I'm very sorry to hear you received a damage item. I know how frustrating and disappointing that must be.
I reviewed Order #: 79618930 and I see that we offered a refund upon return with the seller paying for return shipping. I also see we issued a $10 credit for reimbursement of some return shipping costs for order # 79618930 because the label we sent expired.

A shipping label was sent to you via email. You have 7 days from the date the request to return was opened to send the item back before the shipping label expires. Once the label expires the item must be sent back at the cost of the shopper. Any item can be returned up to 30 days from the date of delivery.

Tophatter will always process refunds for buyers upon receiving a valid tracking number from them indicating that the order has been returned to the seller. Tophatter offers Buyer Protection in the form of a 30-day Easy Return policy that will either: 1.) refund the buyer without return needed, 2.) provide the buyer with a prepaid return label, or 3.) present the buyer with the seller's address to return the item, paying for their own return postage with valid tracking number. I hope this helps clarify our policy on returns. You can read here to learn more: https://tinyurl.com/yd75uc6e

Because we are not the seller of the item, unfortunately, we don't support the replacement of items, partial shipment of missing or damaged parts, or return of items for exchange at this time.

Please do know your voice is heard, I personally sent an email to the manager about the ability to offer exchanges/replacements. Because we aren't the seller of the item and don't have access to the seller's inventory I'm not sure of the challenges that might come with this, but please do know the request to allow this in the future has been submitted.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

Tophatter is amazing
January 20, 2019

I would never hesitate to use Tophatter. I enjoy needing some little thing. Tophatter usually has what I want and/or need. Unlike some negative posts about Tophatter shipping, I am amazed at how quickly and well-packed the parcels are. I have never had an issue with Tophatter, that was not satisfactorily adjusted.

Hi Bonnie,

Thank you for your review.

I'm glad to hear you are pleased with the bargain pricing and variety of item.

We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied, you can request to return an item for up to 30 days from the date of delivery. A full refund of the original price paid will be processed upon return of the item in its original condition. To request a return, visit My Orders, click the item, then click Return Item.

Shoppers also have the option to rate their delivered items. Rating items is important because 1.) other buyers will be able to review the average rating on products before they bid, and 2.) items rated consistently low will automatically stop being scheduled on the platform. For these reasons we encourage you to rate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.

Kind Regards,
Angelique

Incompetent.
January 18, 2019

Tried to get back in to check bids and was informed my password was wrong so I attempted to inform them tp send me a new one via my email. They have not as of over a month ago and I have made attempts daily for them to send me one. They also have a phone # *******501 which is useless. You cannot leave any message or get any assistance except: GOODBYE." They have the worst ever program for helping customers ever. So U guess I; ll just have to find another auction site with more customer influence, *******@aol.com in case some individual from tophatter may be screening in here as they could care less other than the possibility of this site

Great
January 18, 2019

I have ordered over 50 items from Tophatter and only received 1 item that was questionable. If you read the description and reviews carefully you will get your money's worth. I have received every item and only once did it take a longer time than I think it should. It still arrived in great shape. Everything arrived when posted or sooner most of the items arrive pretty quick,, some in less than 1 week. I have been really happy with them and I will continue to do business with them.
Thank you Tophatter!

Zip code block
January 6, 2019

My purchase is being blocked on a technicality: old vs new zip code. My bank knows about my zip code change. I've been using this card on other online purchases. I have informed customer service and have been getting the zip code run around, even after informing them of the new zip code and the bank zip code change.

Hi Garrett,

Thank you for your review.

I'm sorry to hear you've ran into issues with payments due to a zip code error.

You shipping address and billing address must match the billing address the bank has in order for payment to go through.

If you need to update your card, to remove a credit card on file please follow these steps:

Click the menu button, then Account Info, then "Manage payment methods": https://tophatter.com/users/credit_cards

Click the "X" next to the card you want to remove on the web, or tap "Edit" and tap the card, then swipe left and click "Delete" on the app.

The next time you pay for an item you'll have the option to enter new card information, and that card will be saved so you can use it again. Or if you're using the app, you can Add Credit Card from the same page for later use.

To manage and edit your existing shipping addresses on file:

Visit "Account Info": https://tophatter.com/users/profile
Click Manage Addresses
Edit or Delete an existing address or click Add Mailing Address to add a new address

It is extremely important to be sure the shipping address is entered correctly at the time of payment.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

Tophatter Jewelry
December 28, 2018

I have purchased probable 20 pieces of jewelry from Tophatter and am very pleased with both the quality and the price. The pieces are very nice and while they may not look good in 20 years I don't care! The gold plated pieces are very nice and the gem stones that are genuine or lab created look fabulous. They offer sterling also. I am able to purchase nice pieces of jewelry that otherwise I could not afford. I highly recommend Tophatter to anyone looking for a great buy at a low price.
