Almost everything is cheap looking
August 22, 2019

I have ordered over a hundred items from tophatter. There are only a few items I have received that I consider good quality. The items are also much smaller than they appear on the website

Hi Marietta,

Thank you for your review. We hope every shopper will be delighted with every purchase, but understand that not everything can be perfect. 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.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

My God this site does a lot of charging money for things that aren't anything that even resembles pictures. Make sure you read entire description even if picture looks self explanatory. Another way for China to beat us over the head with their cheap junk. Can't get tracking numbers to see if stuff is even coming. They should disclose whether it's coming from China or US. Not even worth my effort to complain. Gonna have to see if going to the BBB helps. I doubt it.

Hi Carol,

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.

Tophatter is a Marketplace that connects buyers with sellers (https://tophatter.com/terms), and we rely on 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 :// tophatter. Com/topics/Buying/subtopics/Buyer%20Issues/questions/Is%20there%20Buyer%20Protection%3F) 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.

For any problematic items, please contact our dedicated support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help getting the issue resolved.

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.

Good and bad
August 9, 2019

Its fun to bid but some items are very cheap and some are what they say they are. Positive is that you can get great product for cheap. Negative is if it comes in damaged or not what you ordered based off what the description says or picture shows then they block you from bidding like it's our fault that it was damaged or not what there advertising. It's all about luck on if the product is good or not and by time you figure it out its too late they block you cause you done returned all the bad product. Top hatter garentees your satisfaction but wants to punish you for asking for your money back

Hi Bryndie,

Thank you for your review.

If you have a problem with a purchase or feel you didn't receive what was described, a return request must be opened for each order that was not satisfactory.

With that said, 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.

Unfortunately, I have no insight into your account from a social platform, however it isn't typical for Tophatter to block due to return items unless the return rate is excessive. Please reach out to our dedicated support team at [email protected] to address this concern.

Warm Regards,
Angelique

Not what I was expecting.
August 8, 2019

I thought this site would be fun and a wonderful way to get good quality products at inexpensive prices was right up my alley. I'm on a tight budget so when making purchases is a big deal for me. So imagine my disappointment when I start receiving my items and over half come poorly packaged, not working or falsely advertised. The only think I have gotten and been satisfied with is the CBD oils. The CBD oils are now the only thing I will purchase from this site. Saves me from being disappointed.

Fun to Shop but Some Drawbacks...
August 7, 2019

I have purchased many auctions now and I enjoy the process. Now that I have purchased, U have the following observations:

When you click on an item for more information, beware that you do not hit the bid button on accident. I did this and purchased a $40 coin that I did not really want!

The jewellery is pretty and very affordably priced, but the plating wears off within hours--leaving you with a green finger and a bit of disappointment.

I purchased a party tent for $30 and was thrilled but even though Fed Ex showed it as delivered, we didn't get it. Tophatter takes no responsibility for deliveries not received as long as they have tracking confirmation. We never have trouble with packages disappearing and we have daily deliveries, but we didn't get a tent. That made me sad.

Another Satisfied Customer
August 6, 2019

I've ordered jewelry, clothing and a variety of household products over the past couple of years. I've never had to return anything and 100% of the products were on time and as described. Once I got used to the sizing being on the smallish side, I haven't had a single problem.
