Many appreciate the responsive customer service, which has been effective in addressing issues and facilitating refunds.

Additionally, customers have reported frustrations with order cancellations and difficulties in the returns process. Overall, while the platform offers a fun shopping experience, it must improve product reliability and support to enhance customer satisfaction.

BUT, when it is sent from a US address and the return address is in China that needs to be changed. Or maybe, that is the idea, so expensive & customs paperwork that people won't make the effort and they keep your money!
I will be a much wiser bidder in the future!

Hi Julie,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

To help you get items as quickly as possible, merchants are permitted to ship from anywhere in the world. They may dropship items, and some may utilize a warehouse or liquidator for returns. That is why you might see a different return address to the address on the package you received.

I've issued a $5.00 credit on your account. I hope you find something that you love!

See our FAQ for information and instructions to open your return here: https://help.en.tophatter.com/article/65-return

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

You don't get what you think you're paying for. I bought a ring that was beautiful in the picture. When it arrived in the mail, it was a totally different ring. It sucked. The ring has since tarnished and turned that fake copper browning around the outsides of the ring as you can see in the picture. I also bought a cheap wanna be Nintendo game and it took forever to get here. I wasn't able to call anyone to complain and I left many many emails to contact tophatter and never got a response. This site is horrible! I don't recommend it! Go to Quibids or some where else. Don't waste your time or money.

Hi Maiti,

Thank you for your review. We want you to be pleased with all of your purchases on Tophatter and I'm sorry that wasn’t the case in this instance.

Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms). Because we aren't in physical possession of the seller’s items we rely on the sellers to provide accurate information about every item; however, if you discover a listing has been misrepresented in any way, we offer excellent Buyer Protection https://tinyurl.com/yy6m335d As part of our quality assurance process, our system detects and applies strong penalties to sellers with higher than average return rate, and individual items exceeding the rate will no longer be scheduled on our platform.

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.

I ordered 4 products, i paid for them all and i have only received one. They have NO CONCEPT of the words "on time". They have not refunded my money. Stay away from TOPHATTER! They have no morals or ethics.

Hi Rita,

Thank you for your review and for shopping on Tophatter.

On Tophatter we have an extended ship time of 30 days domestically and 60 days for all international shipments. However, most items arrive much earlier.

I understand wanting what you paid for to arrive as soon as possible. Your voice is paramount and we are working to improve on shipping times.

After you've purchased, you can click on any item from your My Orders page then click Where's My Item? To find the current status and timeline.

Please know you are covered by Buyer Protection https://tinyurl.com/yy6m335d against non-delivery if tracking does not update to show delivered to the address you provided at the time of payment. I have no insight into your account to review your refund. Please contact our support team, here https://tophatter.com/support/new to address this concern.

Glad there is a 30 day money back guarantee. Most of the stuff I purchased, I am returning due to the size. Very unhappy with most of my purchases.

I like ir
January 19, 2020

I do like tophatter. I have won approx 10 items In the first few months. I should probably give them 5 stars but just couldnt get myself to do it. It's not tophatter's fault but 3 items took a fair amount longer to get then estimated and i needed to return the largest item i bought. As i said not tophatter fault for slow shippers or in the 1 case a seller completely and outright lying about the product but it did detract a little from my overall enjoyment so i had to give it 4*

Bid shopping
January 19, 2020

I like the site and some of the items are fun to bid on and win while some isn't all that great. A few of the items make up for the less than happy products. A fun site but if you are expecting high dollar items, this may not be the site for you.
