Typically the best solution to this is getting people to close STEAM completely, relaunch STEAM and launch TF2. I've found if my STEAM is inactive for a while it will lose connection to the item server until I re-load STEAM completely, this is irrelevant of just re-loading TF2. Sometimes you also need to delete your .blob files. This has been the most successful technique I've found to date.
