Enjoying
December 30, 2019

I have been happy with my experience. I enjoy that the auctions are fast and don't require days or hours to find out if I have won.

Hi Tammy,

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.

Lots of junk
December 31, 2019

Most of my auction wins have been low cost small items. I have also won a few items of clothing JUNK to be nice, poor quality leather jacket that was not as advertised and sized incorrectly. Also took excessive to for delivery. Shipping cost to return was almost the cost of the item so why send it back. Stuck with ugly jacket that doesnt fit..

Hi Burt,

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Here is a size chart to help with purchases https://tinyurl.com/y3qu7qpx If returning an item doesn't work for you I recommend selling, gifting or donating the item. I hope this helps.

Size Matters
December 29, 2019

The items I have bought are beautiful but sizes tend to run small. I would suggest ordering 2 sizes larger than normal. Other than that the clothes look like they are good quality and look just like the picture.

Hi Donna,

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.

Shipping times they state are NOT accurate. Be aware you may not receive your items for up to four to six weeks. Quality of some items is good, but quality of some items is very poor, cheaply made, and do not work. However, they issue a full refund very quickly with very few questions. Shop at your own risk with this review in the back of your mind.

I have had a few items that I won at auction when I got them they either was not as advertised or was defiantly a returned item. The last one was given as gift I made the mistake and did not check it out before wrapping it up as a gift now because it was past the 30 limit I am just stuck with a piece of junk and it makes me look bad. It looks as though I bought a used piece of junk and passed it off as a new present well this is unacceptable. This is the one out of all the others that put the icing on the cake! They won't even have the seller be responsible for this I jut have to eat the cost--oh but wait there's more they are willing to give me some credit so I can get some more crappy stuff.

Make sure you read all detail so you do not get fooled and be disappointed. Some sellers are good. It is not fair that an item because of poorly packing is delivered damages or missing parts the seller wants you to return the item and get a tracking # and to return the damaged item will cost you more that the item price. THIS IS NOT FAIR. I ordered many items for Christmas gifts now I am being told there is a problem and I will not receive them as the estimated date stated.So now I have to go shopping least than a week before Christmas and what do I do with the items that I already paid for when they arrive and through no fault of mine that I can not use

Buyer Beware
December 22, 2019

I purchased an item that did not deliver although tracking said it had, when I contacted cust srvc, their response was sorry, tracking says it delivered, but check and file theft with U.S. P theft Dept. I have closed my account and advising all who will read my review, if it says your pkg delivered but you haven't received your package be prepared for TopHatters' Buyers Protection policy that only comes out when they are not going to reimburse you for your loss!

Hi Hope,

Thank you for your review.

I'm very sorry your item didn't get to you. I completely understand how frustrating and disappointing that must be.

We offer Buyer Protection (https://tinyurl.com/yy6m335d) which guarantees items are shipped with valid tracking and delivered to the address provided or a full refund will be processed. When a package shows delivered to your location but not received, contact the local post office to attempt to locate the package.
