Hi Mary,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

We do our best to ensure every purchase is great. 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.

Respectfully,
Angelique

Mediocre
January 17, 2020

All the items come from very far away, so takes weeks to months to receive. The items are very small, that's why they're so cheap at auction.

Unsatisfied
January 11, 2020

One of the items I ordered should never have been sold as boots, they are baby booties for adults. Don't want to spend the money to ship back, lesson learned. I have a lot of things that were supposed to have been delivered but have not been. Not ordering anything else because I'm not sure how many I will actually receive. Very disappointing waiting past the delivery date.

Hi Mollie,

Thank you for your review.

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 accurately describe all items and do our best to ensure every purchase is great.

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 and fines 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 always shop early for Christmas, a few things I bought were presents.
I bought a I-pad that doesn't work as advertised, it won't turn on right. The battery won't stay charged, when I do get it on, its in Chinese. I understand no returns after 30 days, when just ordering everyday. How can you shop Christmas, and not get refunds

Slightly below mediocre
January 10, 2020

This site is fun and has many different things to bid on. However, if the seller backs out you don't get your money back, you only get credits to tophatter. Also items can take months to arrive while others from the same place in China arrive quickly.

Hi Rena,

Thank you for your review.

It goes against Tophatter seller guidelines when a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. A refund is either issued back to the original payment source or via credits. You can request a refund back to the original payment source, please see more on our refund policy, here https://tinyurl.com/qqxhlcg

Meh...
January 10, 2020

Some things have been good, some things have been really bad. Items take forever to arrive, they sit in the same place for weeks according to tracking information, descriptions and items don't always match up and some not at all but others are really neat just not exactly the way they are described or depicted. I ordered a Hopsy mini beer keg cooler for my boyfriend for Christmas and nowhere on Tophatter or Hopsy's website did it state that they didn't deliver to all states. Totally ruined our Christmas. I'm Still waiting on the one thing I ordered for one of my kids that said it should be here before December 24th and it's now January 7th and hes pretty upset as he knows what it is but it's not here!
