Shipping cost and delivery times are a joke – Tophatter: Closeout Deals Review

I signed up for this app because I love secondhand marketplaces. Plus, I loved the idea of their $5 and $1 credits for signing up. However, after being on the site for only a few minutes, I noticed that A LOT of the items for up for auction have absurdly high shipping rates, we’re talking $36 for a one pound small object, plus delivery times of AT LEAST a month. This is just crazy. I don’t care how good the deal is, I can do better than waiting a month for delivery. Not sure what the appeal is here seeing as how you can find great deals on eBay Etsy Craigslist and Facebook without having to pay disgusting shipping costs and wait an absolutely unacceptable amount of time for a delivery. I never bid on anything: any site that is ok with sellers charging that kind of outrageous shipping cost and accepts one month delivery times can very kindly lose my business. I’m still a little in shock that the people at TopHatter allow that kind of ridiculous shipping service.
