My opinion of TopHatter
March 12, 2020

I like it that I can go online and find something that I may have been looking for for quite some time but at a reasonable price and I can find it on TopHatter and buy it immediately. The shipping time isn't too bad and so far the quality of the itmes I've bought isn't bad.

So far I have had good luck with the items I've ordered. Bidding is free and fun. Some items are "buy it now". Some of the shipping times are long. Some items have high shipping rates but the rate is there with the item. Overall though I recommend Tophatter.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I'm thrilled to hear that you're pleased with the items you purchased.

On Tophatter we ask that you allow 60 days for items to arrive However, most items arrive much earlier. See our FAQ How long does shipping take https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/495-how-long-does-shipping-take

We also offer a free shipping category. I hope this helps.

Somewhat satisfied
March 4, 2020

Some items are as they appear, while some are not. For instance an outdoors-man backpack came and was so small that you could fit little more than a water bottle in it, then other things such as the game system headset was exactly as it appeared. It's kind of a hit or miss kind of thing and you sometimes get what you expect and sometimes you don't.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your support.

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. We process a full refund of the original price paid upon return of the item in its original condition. To request a return, visit My Orders, click the article, then click Return Item. Please refer to our FAQ How do I request a return? Here: https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/65-return

Shoppers also have the option to rate their delivered items. Rating items is vital 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 evaluate the products you have purchased, although doing so is not required.

If you have a question or a concern, customer support agents are available to help via email by signing into your Tophatter account and going here: https://tophatter.com/support/contact?topic=Buying or by sending us a direct email to [email protected].

I had bidded and won 2 different items that wasn't what they pictured but just a partial. I'm not happy with the delivery time neither. I first started using Tophatter about a month ago and won several different items and still haven't gotten many of them. I'm almost afraid to do any more bidding.

Buyer beware
April 2, 2020

Over about a 5 day period I won a few auctions. The items were charged immediately to my credit card which was disclosed so not the issue. However only two of the items were received, neither worked and one was incomplete. Am waiting for those two refunds to show up on my credit card. After 3 weeks Tophatter cancelled another item and issued a Tophatter credit which I had to request be changed to my original payment method. Two other items I ordered were showing as ready to ship for 3 weeks and I had to request Tophatter to refund those. The last item has shown as in transit for weeks now and am about to request a refund for that. My experience is that Tophatter is an outlet for junk items from China not sold elsewhere. Even for those of us willing to follow up and send several emails for refunds this site gets to keep the funds for up to 90 days before issuing interest free credits.

Tophatter is 5 stars!
March 3, 2020

I have been with Tophatter for just about a month now. I haven't had any adverse experiences. I have already won 25 - 30 items. I have been satisfied with most of them. A couple things I wasn't too happy with. I love the jewelry. I only wish they offered more garnet jewelry, especially rings (my birthstone)!

Hi Sheri,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We do our best to ensure every purchase is excellent. 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 a 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 a valid tracking number.

On our platform, refunds or prepaid return labels are provided to U.S.-based buyers until the buyer hits a threshold for free returns.

For internationally located buyers, we provide some store credit to offset the cost of returning the item at their own expense until the buyer hits the threshold. Please refer to our FAQ How do I request a return? Here: https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/65-return

If you have a question or a concern, customer support agents are available to help via email by signing into your Tophatter account and going here: https://tophatter.com/support/contact?topic=Buying or by sending us a direct email to [email protected].

I have brought many items on your site and am disappointed that your clients do not include a invoice of the item when received. Makes it difficult to follow with what is being sent.

Hi Debra,

Thank you for your review.

I'm very sorry to hear that you haven't received your order. I understand how frustrating and disappointing that must be.

I was able to view your account based on the order number 94326034. Unfortunately, order number 94326034 continues to show in transit, and we cannot guarantee it will be received.

We processed a refund to your original payment source.
You can search for the same or similar item. See our FAQ Can I search for items? Here https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/60-can-i-search-for-items

As a courtesy, I issued a $5.00 store credit on your account. The credit will automatically apply to your next purchase and expires, Mar 11,2020. I hope this helps.

If you have a question or a concern, customer support agents are available to help via email by signing into your Tophatter account and going here: https://tophatter.com/support/contact?topic=Buying or by sending us a direct email to [email protected].
