Fun site

Things move so quickly and there are so many cute things for stocking stuffers and other items. I have a certain limit for bids knowing the item will likely show up again. Fast and fun.

Over all I am pleased with the products. Shipping could be quicker, but does fall into the time frame quoted. Two items I should have returned, but I failed to do this in a timely manner.(within 30 days). My fault there.one item was magnifying goggles, which do not function as promised.not really expensive-my fault. Another item not getting my satisfaction was a micro video recorder. Either I didn't read the description properly, or it wasn't advertised in full by the manufacturer.the size is small, but my dissatisfaction lies with the need to purchase a memory chip. Instructions didn't tell me specifics. I figured it out, at an additional cost of $15.00. I will shop there again, but need to be sure the items received are as advertised. Tophatter is not at fault as much as the manufacturer or supplier.So in closing, about 15 items received, only 2 not up to par. Pretty good record really, just not perfect. Yours --Kevin Huck

TOPHATTER IS A SCAM!
November 4, 2019

Most items are cheap junk, a lot of items come up missing, quality items won never show up but get refunded and see them up for bid still. Tracking the packages are sometimes impossible. I even contacted USPS and I was informed that the tracking numbers given were not even valid! This site needs to be shut down ASAP! There are a lot of people falling for this site and it's a shame that most won't see whats going on!... BUYERS BEWARE!

Great products and prices
November 4, 2019

The only problems I have are the discrepancies between Asian clothing sizes and American sizes and the long span between ordering and receiving the products ordered.

I have mixed feelings about Tophatter
November 4, 2019

Tophatter has great prices and you can get some nice items, but some are not as described, way too small ( sizing is Asian sizing), and a lot of items take a long time to ship ( coming from China). I think Tophatter could be improved upon. Since this is advertised on Facebook, I think clothes need to be sold in US sizes ( Most Americans have larger frames than Asians and even going up a size or two doesn't help- our torsos, arms, and legs are longer). The quality needs to improve on items and they need to look like the pictures. Another thing, something needs to be done about the long shipments. A lot of times people bid on things they would like to gift within 2-3 weeks. Some will say « Return the items you're not happy with ». It's not worth paying shipping fees back to another country. It's too costly. That is money that has basically been thrown away. I will not purchase again until some changes are made.

Hi Shannon,

Thank you for your thorough review and for sharing your experience.

I'm sorry to hear some of the clothing wasn't size appropriate. We do have a size chart https://tinyurl.com/ya99eeal to help with sizing clothing.

We do our best to ensure every purchase is great, but also understand that things won't always be perfect.

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.

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.

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. If there is anything we can help with please reach out to our support team at [email protected]
