So far, everything looks cheaply made. You could get the same stuff at a dollar store really. Don't believe what you are getting in jewelry is real--it is NOT. As long as you don't get them wet or wash them, they won't turn green. That is why I say you get what you pay for. As for clothing--If you wear an XL, order a 5XL, and even then it may still be too small. I guess there aren't any overweight people in China. I was doing like grab bags for Christmas because I don't have much money. Well, it shows in all of this crap that has arrived. You'd do better going to a dollar store or trying other auction sites. I will be staying away from Tophatter. And shipping a lot of clothes back when they arrive.

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 hasn't been the case.

I deleted the app as soon as I received my orders. Nothing was worth anything my rugs and throws look like they were meant for a doll house. Everything was some kind of off brand remake or deceptive with the size and quality. Never again!

Unsatisfactory
October 1, 2019

I'm not totally satisfied for my order, I have a lot of order that I'm not expected the way it is, just because I already throw the address I can't return it, but it's ok I'm satisfied for some of my order, especially the rings I like it. Like the phone case I order the iPhone 8+ but they sent it to me the 6+, some of the purses, and others.

WATCH REVIEW
September 28, 2019

There are no problems with ordering an item. The problem is when you receive the item and you are not happy with it. I bought a watch and received it yesterday Sept. 24 and am not happy with it. It is so frustrating trying to put it on my wrist because the leather strap is so so stiff. I almost threw it out today when I tried again to put it on. You need TWO people to get it on!

BEWARE! FRAUDULENT MARKETPLACE & SELLERS
September 28, 2019

I have purchased multiple items on this website stating they were solid 14KT gold. Not only are NONE of them solid 14K, they are not even real gold plated! So as is stated in the Tophatter guidelines I request a return of these items and TOPHATTER tells me I have to pay return shipping from US to CHINA! This is on a sale that is prohibited in the US to begin with as the US has a PRECIOUS METALS AND GEMSTONES ACT which makes it a felony to sell something as 14K when it is not. I have reported the sellers and the TOPHATTER website to the FBI's INTERNET FRAUD DEPARTMENT and they will be taking care of this.
Thanks.

Unbelievable experience I must say
September 27, 2019

Very interesting shopping experience for me, I was pretty skeptical at first and very nervous considering all the scams, etc... but I find that the site is ok, I've received items ordered in a timely fashion and pleased so far. I can't wait for the rest of my items to arrive and I'll definitely continue using the site.

I find interesting items, go through the bidding process and then wait. The products are seem to either be "love it" or "poor quality". A large number of the items I have received had been damaged prior to arrival and clothing sizes are NEVER what is expected or posted. They are good to return/refund with but if you have questions it is difficult to get a question answered.
