Has anyone ordered from mazal top yoyos and had success with their order? I tried to order some strings from him and it’s been over 3 months and still nothing. He finally stopped ignoring me after a month and a half and told me if he owes anyone product that they would get their product and sent me a personal voice message saying that he would make sure to ship them out the following week and here it is two months later and he’s back to ignoring everything again. So I’m just trying to see if anyone else has had any luck with this guy. I’ve seen several negative reviews after I had already ordered from him saying the same thing as I’m saying. So if anyone is think of ordering from him I would give it a second thought because this guy is excepting peoples money but not wanting to send them the product they paid for. So just a heads up to anyone out there that is thinking bout ordering from this guy.
Well that’s a shame to hear, I hope it can be cleared up soon for you!
I’ve also had negative experiences with Mr. Mazal Top and would recommend to avoid at all costs. Preordered a yoyo specifically for the color, waited months, turns out he couldn’t deliver what he promised (the colorway), wasn’t given the option for a refund. Communicating with him is a nightmare.
Sorry dude but your story is one of many. I haven’t had any experiences but I personally have seen a lot of instances of people not getting anything from that dude. What’s weird is that the guy defends his lack of service too. Weird dude. Sorry that this has happened to you.
Similar story but then I had to send him extra funds to ship my yoyo at the time and still waited 6 months. He also never delivered the string and bearings I ordered but I honestly call it a loss and moved on. The guy is not reliable. I wouldn’t do business with him. He’s also had several outbursts in the community and negative takes that I won’t bring up here but rubbed many the wrong way. Best to initiate a dispute if you can and cut your loses.
Yeah this is crazy. I don’t understand how in the world this guy still has a business and people still order things from him. I’ve seen so many people say the same things I’m saying. The man literally sent me a voice message specifically talking to me. Cuz I had said some things to him that were harsh. So when he finally contacted me and sent me that message he was saying don’t worry bout what you said I would be mad to and sorry for not letting you know what’s going on and no hard feelings. So that’s how I new it was for me specifically. He said his friend got killed and after that he went to jail and said he broke down that’s why he was ignoring me. And I’ll make sure to get those shipped to you next week. So I tried to understand and believe that maybe he will make this right cuz things were going on in his life so I took the time to apologize bout the harsh words I said. And now it’s been almost 2 months since that message and he won’t reply to anything at all… but I strongly believe in karma and it will come back on him sooner or later.
sounds like a typical experience. at least he didn’t use slurs in his limited communication with you lol
Yeah his previous online store and PayPal got shutdown due to all the fraud reports so he opened new ones under a different name. Super shady.
Sadly he has nice string, and bearings and stuff but he runs his business very poorly and lost all the rep over the last year. I hate to be harsh but it’s gone on long enough it’s no longer able to be excused.
Thanks to the community for the heads-up. Unfortunately, I have no doubt this person will turn up later, under a different name.
i almost ordered some stuff from him a while back but decided not to. it sounds like i dodged a bullet.
i’m sorry to hear about everyone’s bad experiences with this person
Scammed by Mazal Top Yoyos
Lol. Lmao, even.
I ordered strings from MazalTop’s Square store in November 2024 since I read that Doctor Popular likes his strings and packs them with the yo-yos he sells. Since DocPop is great, I went ahead to buy some of MazalTop’s wool strings. Got kind of nervous after the purchase when I read on some forums about MazalTop’s decline in reliability. After a couple weeks of no product arriving, I emailed to the webstore’s listed email address and got a bounceback email that the email provider is rejecting my email.
It’s mid-January now with no strings, so I reported him to my credit card company to get a credit and they are investigating.
So yeah, don’t buy from MazalTop unless you’re cool with your transaction becoming a donation.
My personal experience was fine, I just ordered and it arrived, I got some neon pink strings. But that was also like idk a year or 2 ago. Sucks hearing all this in this thread cuz they’re my favorite strings and don’t want to switch to another one. But dang there are some horror stories in here…
Completely missed this topic somehow.
DO NOT BUY FROM MAZAL TOP!
It’s a long story…but he owes me about $75 in strings and bearings and has for the past year and a half.
He’s made some financially unwise decisions, had a mental breakdown and personal problems and up until about 6 months ago still occasionally claimed he’d make good.
He’s since then stopped replying completely although he’s also (luckily) stopped taking orders.
I think the thing I’m more annoyed about than the money is the fact that I REALLY like his yoyos, string and bearings. I’ve got 3 throws of his and were he reliable would happily buy more in the future. But at the moment I can only recommend buying his stuff on the secondary market.
Dealing with him personally has a very high chance of you getting scammed.
Also worth nothing is that they recently got out jail for domestic abuse. So that would explain why communication has been so bad.
This is not a person people should be doing business with.
That’s the thing that really annoys me too. His product is actually good. He just is terribly unreliable and very hard to work with or communicate with. It’s a shame but at the same time it’s not worth throwing your money away either.
Someone in the community talked about making string like his a while back but I lost track on if they followed through or not.

I’m unfamiliar with how much of this is publicly available information in the US, so I don’t just want to post dox, but yeah they were released for this booking on February 28th 2025. I just wanted to elaborate on this a bit more.
Oof… giant red flag in there…
I see he just posted his sites back up and he’s taking orders again…
Doubt it. But we’ll see.
Honestly i like the stuff he makes so i would like it if he gets it back together. But I’m not holding my breath.
