Dishonest and cheap
June 13, 2019

At first items looked good in pictures, until you received them, then the joke was on me. I wasted money... and will never order from you again.

Hi Carla,

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

A lot of the ads are purposely very misleading. The tracking info for the items is written in Chinese so you don't know what is going on with your packages. Your sellers keep your money knowing they don't intend to send you the item. You allow crap like this to happen all the time and don't penalize them. If I cancel 2 or 3 orders, even if it is an accident you penalize me automatically. Your seller's should have to pay back double money if they keep your money for 2 weeks triple if it's 3 weeks and so on.

Hi Todd,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

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.
If there is a concern with tracking please reach out to our support team at [email protected]

Please know you are covered by Buyer Protection http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu against non-delivery if tracking does not update to show delivered to the address you provided at the time of payment.

I'm terribly sorry to hear the seller failed to honor your sale. This is definitely against Tophatter seller guidelines. When a buyer is refunded without prior consent the seller is automatically penalized, so this won't go unnoticed. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

Warm Regards,

Hate this site
June 6, 2019

They don't listen to you nor do they care. They just tell you some bull crap reason for not doing what you want. Buy something and then seller never sends it so oops guess we'll refund you but still no item. If a company doesn't send it on time they should still have to send it. I hate this site. Never using it again

I only gave an 1 star rating because that is the lowest allowed. I have made several orders and will not be ordering any longer. I ordered bluetooth headphones for my sons and they both came as white. I ordered 1 blue and 1 red. Then I ordered a top and ring for myself. The top was ordered as a 2xl and the picture had a woman shown in it. The top fits my friends 8 year old not me. The ring was to have red stones and is clearly pink. I ordered a body shaper. It shows delivered and customer service says delivered but I never got it and looks like I am not getting my money back either. I do still have stuff on it's way (if I get it) but I will not suggest this company to anyone.

Practices what they preach.

The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the weekend. There seems to be no opportunity to bid; just buy outright. That breaks away from your founding philosophy.

I was excited to be able to bid and purchase items from your website until I was banned from making purchases because my income didn't allow me to complete the item in which I was trying to charge to my charge card. So some of us bid on items on your website but unfortunately can't complete the payments, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

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. If you have any questions about this or need help please contact our dedicated support team at [email protected]

Warm Regards,
Angelique
