They take attention and care to make sure the customer service is a positive experience. I recently had 'refunds' to to not receiving. I am pleased that i do not have to bring it to their attention, and they are pro active. Thank you.
The customer service I have received from Tophatter has been outstanding, they put their customer first, even though they haven't always ruled in my favor they are always polite, understanding and above all professional.

I thought I was ordering 4 pk of led lights but only one came in. I looked over my order history and found the small print where it said one. The quality was awesome.

Very satisfying. Tophatter has stood behind the products they sell. Refunds are quick. I have had about 3 bad experience with my purchases and the issues were resolved quickly to my benefit.

I have been very pleased with Tophatter. The sellers seem very good. I have only had two bad experiences in almost 50 purchases. Tophatter came through excellently with those two bad experiences. The only real questionable thing is whether sellers are over pricing their shipping costs and then sending purchases less expensively. I don't know whether this is looked into or not. I know at least two purchases were from the same seller and close enough together that they shipped both items together and still charged separate shipping costs. So they had one shipping cost and were paid and charged for two.
Hi Harold,
Thank you for your review.
I’m pleased to hear your overall experience has been a good one.
Shipping orders together into one package is an option sellers may provide for multiple purchases.
If a seller does choose to combine shipping, you may receive a partial refund from the seller, or a store credit to offset some of the overages. See more details here https://tinyurl.com/yczrb78g
Please reach out to our dedicated support team to help address your concern regarding combined shipping here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu

TopHatter has always been up front and honest they have shipped everything fast as they can. I am very satisfied with everything I have gotten. I have been on other sites but come right back to tophatter. The things I have bought has been exactly what they said they were. The only thing I have found wrong is there sizes run smaller than ours a lot smaller"

I have a good time going in and try to limit how high I go especially depending a items worth. Some of the shipping is way to high especially on small items or items or light weight items. I believe a lot of the high shipping is due to how many sellers are from China and Korea as well as other countries. Nice site tho.
I ended up paying for things I never received, the us mail says they delivered so I must have it. Even though I had several packages to different places around the United States and they said they were delivered and they were not.
Hi Virginia,
Thank you for your review.
I realize how frustrating it must be to bid and get a great deal on an item you love, only to find it never makes it to your home. I'm truly sorry that this happened.

I have been buying jewelry, and have been SO disappointed with it! And, yet... I keep trying. I would not recommend most of the sellers on here. Some are WONDERFUL - I'm sure - I'm just frustrated because the last 4 things I have gotten, I felt were a waste of money.:-(

It is a fun and exciting way to shop online. Recieved my product in a timely manner. I would definently recommend to everyone.
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.
