My experience with Tophattee has been a really good one. Excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this site and have to my friends and family.
I have to say if you haven't tried Tophatter then u have no idea what your missing w shopping online. It's fun to bid on items you like and then the thrill when winning the bid and purchasing an item is like a little rush of your own. My husband loves the deals and cool things I've won are all over our house and looks pretty darn cool.

First of all, this app is very well designed and very well managed. The items you'll find on TopHatter are similar to items you'll find on other apps like "Wish" or "Geek" however the thing that makes TopHatter stand out is the Auction Format. Every auction starts out at $1 and goes until someone wins. You don't have to "buy bids" like some websites. All Bidding is free, you only pay if you win.
What happens if you accidently bid on something? You can easily report it as such and cancel the order.
I have won many cool and unique items. If an item never arrives (sometimes it happens having to come through customs) or is damaged TopHatter customer service is right on it, providing solutions to resolve the issue or just straight out providing a refund (less than 3 day turn around on refunds as well!)
This is one of the most fun and enjoyable bidding apps I have ever used!
Definitely worth 5 stars :)

Lo cierto es que todos los productos que ofrecen merecen la pena. Y su atención con el cliente es fabulosa, pues si he tenido, a veces, problemas con los envíos, se lo he comunicado y enseguida han procedido al reembolso de los mismos. El único pero que podría ponerles es el tamaño de los pendientes (demasiado pequeños o excesivamente grandes). Mas merece la pena seguir comprando con Ustedes. Es una experiencia inolvidable. Muchas gracias por sus Atenciones.

Everything I have gotten has been great. If I had a problem they were right on top of it. They even let you send it back for free you just print out the free shipping label. Everyone should try it at least once.

I much prefer their other site DollarStart.com cause most everything there is free shipping where here its not.
Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey Rhonda and I'm sorry to hear our services didn't meet your expectations.
Tophatter has also items which shipping fees are free. Kindly note that shipping prices are specified by the Seller as only the Seller can account for all their costs in sending an item. The shipping costs are displayed prior to bidding.
Let us know if you have any questions and we'll be happy to help!

An excellent site to purchase a wide variety of products at my finger tips. Also a lot of fun to "win" bids on things I want for unbelievably low investments~! My friend that told me about the site said to me... "I shouldn't tell you about the site... Lol". She knew I'd love it... lol
I've purchased many things with no end in sight, thanks TopHatter~!

I was looking for prizes for a charity event and was truly surprised at how many top class items I was able to purchase for a minimal amount of money. The quality is good, the look is beautiful and value for money can not be matched. Buy with confidence. U

Usually able to get item's fairly inexpensive. They get to you in a decent amount of time. The only couple of things that I have noticed that they should address is the amount that the product shows it's valued at is unbelievable and some of the products that you are bidding on that appear to be a full set such as wrench's, after you have won the bid it only gives you the option of one of the wrench sizes. Other than those two things it is an amazing auction site.
Hi Robert! Thanks for responding to Tophatter's experience survey!
We are excited to know your Tophatter experience has been great!
Please be advised that Tophatter has strict guidelines which require sellers to accurately represent their items for sale. Our product review team has reached out to a few sellers who had misleading images and are working to ensure the listings are correct moving forward.
With this said, in an auction format, it's up to each buyer to review the item description prior to bidding, taking note of all key details, to decide the item is what's intended. Bidders decide how high they are willing to bid, and can stop bidding at any time.
Additionally, with our easy return policy, a return request can be open for an item for any reason within 30 days from delivery. See full details here: http://tinyurl.com/h7xokwj.
Again, thank you for your continued support and choosing Tophatter!
Warm regards,

I realey love this site. When I first tried it I was weary of it thinking it would be cheap material or I would not get what I paid for. So far everything is A1. Nice buying a $50.00 or higher item for a couple of bucks! Sometimes you get a product so low that your credit card company may call you to see if you actuly made the purchase. Mine did. LOL. If you like to do some bidding that dont take hours than this site is for you.

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.
