Delivers take a long time.
April 19, 2019

Deliveries take a long time. Sometimes there's no packaging. Make sure you know your prices before you bid to get the best deal! Do your homework, descriptions are not very detailed don't assume and you'll be fine!

2 star experience
April 19, 2019

Most of the time it's not tophatters fault, but I feel they should be at fault for not regulating the sellers enough to get the right items to the customers.
If you do not receive your item you will have to wait 60 days in order to get a refund (that's three months) I haven't bidded or bought another item from this website ever since and I probably won't cuz I know the sellers overseas like to get over sometime soon and it's not every time that you will get a refund which is not fair
Like I said I don't believe tophatter is at fault they do respond and a timely matter but it's not always to your satisfaction however I just think they should regulate the sellers a little more or punished or penalize them for not sending the correct item or trying to get away with sending a lesser quality item other than the one that you purchased.
I have recommended this in the past but that's only when I first started but as of right now I do not recommend anyone to even waste their time unless tophatter says their issues with the overseas sellers

The merchandise presented is good quality and affordable. I was like a kid in a candy store when I first found Tophatter. The part I especially like is they take care of the buyers. If you are unhappy with what you bought or received it damaged, they immediately take action to make sure you are satisfied. 5 STARS TOPHATTER!

Very satisfied... BUT
April 16, 2019

The web site is very customer friendly. Easy to track and see pending orders. My only complaint is with Empire Collectibles, I have many orders pending since March 31st. 2019 and I do not see any activity. I would like to know if they ship only once a month or is there something else happening.

Take a Chance
April 16, 2019

8 times out of 10 I am very happy with what I buy. The other times I just suck it up. I write the reviews to let the seller and others.
The latest one that disappointed was USB cords for my phone... It said I would get "ALL 3 PICTURED" BUT I only received 1. I wrote the review but have not received any comment from anyone. With the option of return. Then I would have none.
Other times the ring can be lovely or cheep looking. Size can be perfect or run small.

Hi Deborah,

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. I would like to clarify, reviews are not responded too, however can always reach out to our dedicated customer support team here http://tinyurl.com/j8eo7hu for help.

Tophatter is addictive
April 16, 2019

I'm addicted to Tophatter. I visit every day and look forward to it. Most of my buys have been impulse buying and for the most part I like what I've bought. When unsatisfied refunds aren't questioned, they're just made. Some refunds have been given without my request, based on comments of the products.

Hi Shernay,

Thank you for your review and for choosing Tophatter. I’m happy that you enjoy your shopping experience.
In terms of the pricing getting expensive, one of the best things about Tophatter is the shopper is in control of how much they pay. If you find an item is outside of what you would like to pay you can sent a reminder for the item by clicking on the heart icon. This will give you a notification of when the item is up for auction again and you can bid at that time, hopefully in a price range that is more suitable. I hope this helps.
