Topshop no longer trades from stores in South Africa. Its South African stores were run under franchise by Edcon, which went into business rescue, and the brand itself was sold to ASOS after its UK parent collapsed.
It operates primarily online now, from abroad. An online order from a foreign site is an import, with duty, VAT and a clearing fee payable on arrival.
Returns must be shipped back internationally at your cost unless the seller agrees otherwise, which changes the economics of ordering clothing on approval.
This page covers how to contact Topshop in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Topshop contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Topshop and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Topshop contact numbers
Topshop is no longer trading, so there is no contact number to publish. We have not listed an old number, because a number that once belonged to a company that has stopped operating either reaches nobody or reaches whoever holds it now.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.

Self-service options before you call
- Check the official site at topshop.com, which carries the current contact details and any online enquiry form.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Buying from a wholesaler rather than a shop
- Wholesalers usually sell to the trade only. Expect to be asked for a business registration number and a VAT number before an account is opened.
- Minimum order quantities are the real barrier, not the price. A wholesale price on a case of a hundred is not a saving if you need three.
- Lead times and delivery areas are not published and vary by product. Ask for both in writing before ordering against a deadline.
- Counterfeits enter the market through unverifiable traders. If you are buying a branded product, buy from an authorised distributor, and be sceptical of a price well below the market.
- Check who carries the warranty. Goods bought through an unauthorised channel are frequently outside the manufacturer’s warranty, whatever the seller says.
The Consumer Protection Act protects consumers, and a business buying for resale is generally not a consumer under it. Contracts between businesses are governed by what you signed, which makes the written terms considerably more important.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the seller’s own process in the country where it operates. South African consumer routes have limited reach over a foreign seller: the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud and the National Consumer Commission act against suppliers operating in South Africa. A card payment can be disputed with your own bank, which in practice is the most effective route against an overseas seller.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Topshop contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Topshop.
- Reach Topshop through the official site at topshop.com rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Topshop will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Topshop contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Topshop number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at topshop.com. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Topshop, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
