Nothing works
November 15, 2019

I have purchased several different items. Only one item worked properly, 4 items that didn't. The jewelry items have been crap, or were sharp and cut me. Overall not happy, won't be shopping here anymore. At least with Wish you get a refund if not happy.

Hi Elena,

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.

Kind Regards,
Angelique

A specific Company called M N (packaging comes from alliance group in NY)s selling imitation perfumes and colognes. Though their website states to report those sellers that are not legitimate( which I have) they are still selling. The differences in the cologne shown is Versace Eros. The fake is a lighter blue bottle, the spray cap is wrong design and made of light plastic, the sprayer is plastic and white shooter, the cologne disappears after about one hour, the Versace bottle lettering is in bold.

Bad Business Ethics
November 13, 2019

Ordered something from the company and it never arrived. This was the response: 'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive your order. The tracking number is valid and confirms delivery to the mailing address provided at the time of payment, which falls outside of our Buyer Protection

Lack of Customer Service
November 14, 2019

Aside from the ability to reach out and request Information or instructions, when received a damaged item that you've paid $6-$9 for and the are expected to return the item, is ridiculous. If the items were within the US, it would be different; however to return a package I received this past week would cost a MINIMUM of $12-$15!

Hi Joey,

Thank you for your review. We do our best to ensure every purchase is great.

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, this includes instructions. If for some reason you need more information on an item I recommend doing a Youtube or Google search.

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.

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. See our FAQ How do I request a return? Here https://tinyurl.com/y6l3gazb

If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to our support team here https://tophatter.com/support/new.
