Find it hard to get hold of Tophatter, but generally the service is good. Have missed a parcel as it was leither on my doorstep. I think paying for delivery is fair but not safe to haverify goods just left when no one home.
I only have one negative thing to say about Tophatter... it's addicting!
Great products. Fast delivery. Well organized.
I currently have six items that i have been waiting for, for quite some time. I keep getting a delivered message on items that have not been in my mail. When requesting a refund, i was told that they show the item as being delivered so there was nothing they could do. I also have received an item that didn't have all the pieces, and was told i could rebid on the same item but they would not replace it. I guess you just take your chances when you use this site.
Tophatters will not allow me to review my account and has NOT sent many of my refunds. I am so pissed... they keep telling me something is wrong with my email address. I believe that got even angrier when I notified cc company. Did NOT use Paypal.
I bought a ring supposedly filled with 14k white gold and after 1 week I was able to see the brass under the plate... :(
You let people place orders and keep there money on a HOLD. This is criminal behavior and I will report you!
Over the months that I got addictive to ur web site, has been a pleasure to say the least... enjoy the bidding, and the only things I wish to say, is when u click the heart for notification of a upcoming item... no notification is received... ahh...
I bought quite a few things from your site. Most I loved and use but there was one item. A opal stone ring. I worn it for no more than 3 days when the silver coating on the ring changed color. I have not worn it since. I was going to send in a complaint but I couldn't find the name of the ring or the site showing I bought it.
I have had trouble with items that wasn't want their were to suppose to be and has closed me more money to send them back then they were worth. I do love Top Hatter and I have spent a lot of money on this site.
I have shopped Tophatter for a while now and have never had a problem with their integrity in standing behind their items. I have been very happy with the vast majority of my purchases, and on the rare occasion when I was not, Tophatter refunded my purchase price-- No Questions Asked. Now that is customer service above and beyond. I have a very large family and Tophatter makes it easy to do my shopping and I get great buys. Everyone should shop on their site, it's great!
So far most everything I "won" was nice with the exception of a pair of earring, stone fell out before I could even wear them and an exercise tracker I won only lasted a week. Everything else I received was beautiful. I love the idea and I realize the listed price is way too high but it's fun and I get to have jewelry even if it's fashion jewelry. Lower your expectations and you will be pleased.
This site is amazing, so amazing that I'm doing my xmas shopping already, LOL... but yes it is, I can't get enough of this site.
I had few items that I make mistakes ordering or didn't like it and I got my refund! 100% completely satisfied service! I also enjoying doing bid bid bid!
I have had some problems in the past and they always make things right. I live everything I have bought. I just don't understand why the shipping and handling is so expensive on some things and free or a lot less on others. S&H is always the same. Thank you for everything.
Great shopping experience, amazing products, great deals, hassle-free ordering, prompt shipping make Tophatter one of my favorite places to shop online for gifts for myself and others! Everyone I have given Tophatter gifts to has been very happy with their gift. I highly recommend Tophatter to everyone!
A few glitches but overall it works well. One product was not shipped, but was readily rectified by Top Hat. On another order I doubled the order and they only shipped one. This was rectified by crediting my credit card for the amount.
The rest of the experiences (many) have been great!
It a nice site for the person likes a challenge whit your hands and mind make sure your ready for fun
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.
