I've used Wish.com before. My shippings came after 2 long months of waiting. The merchant didn't reply to a single one of my 5 emails. One of the products came broken, and before I could contact the merchant, he was no longer on wish.com. I don't think it's a scam, it's just really terrible quality and service.

As mentioned by another user, save yourself and opt for more reliable websites like amazon.com, ebay.com aliexpress.com and more... It is fun to browse through wish.com, but then I search for the products I like on ebay or amazon, etc. It's a lot easier that way.

Well, for this question, i think i am the quite right person to speak. Because I am a merchant for now. There are generally two kinds of merchants on wish.com and those who sell cheap and poor quality are the first kind of merchants. They themselves don't produce dresses, they just search online for some cheap while looks so gorgeous dresses ( there are some factories in China that mainly track the fashion magazine and just copy the design of some popular dresses, but, of course, as you can see, they do not copy the material. Then they sell it online at a wholesale price. These people do not concern the wish thing because generally they do not know English and only focus on the Chinese market. The most famous website is www.1688.com. There you can see a lot of cheap dresses. ) The first kind of merchant then go to these website and then copy the pictures to send it on wish.com. When buyers order the dress, they will order the dress from that website and then send it to buyers abroad. Of course the profit is not so much because the price they sell on wish.com is not so high. Here by the way i want to say that actually the cheap and good thing is really rare and you cannot expect a dress with a price of $10 is great in material, right? The characters of these merchants are that the clothes they sold online are cheap, quite cheap and they cannot say how it is the dress made because they do not make by themselves. This is the first kind and also the most merchants on wish.com.

You get an item but not the item they show you in the picture. I got fur boots that cost $31 and showed the genuine leather tag on the back but the boots I got were Kmart boots that didn't even look like the boots I ordered not to mind no tag and totally tacky and things I would never buy or look at ever! they actually dug a hole out of the bottom of each where the size was, they were huge 😂 learning curve!

I ordered a bathing suit. As I had done my research I knew that the sizes would come way too small, so I compensated and ordered a x-large top and large bottoms and the top fit, even though it was cheaply made with cheap material, the bottoms I couldn t get up my legs past my knees. And I m only a size 5 in jeans. They measure their clothes on petit Asians and there s just no way any of their clothes would look on an American or fit. They are just born tinier all around. Plus it took a 2 months longer than the suggested delivery time. Not happy. I also think this company is affiliated with SammyDress and similar businesses that all carry horrible, horrible reviews and have been reported to bbb.

I recently purchased from this site and received no refund, no item and no response back to any of my messages. Its been 6 months since i purchased but I honestly feel like wish is a false advertising scam. Domains arent that hard to purchase. Thats why there are a lot of fake scamming websites. Very unhappy overall with the wish website.

I bought 7 items, only 3 came. Yes I got my money back after over a month of wait... Ridiculous! You'll ask the seller a question, they don't answer you. The 3 items that I got is made of cheap materials. Never ever buy from this site. Very nice pictures but when you'll get the item, items Walmart looks a lot better.

DO NOT order from this site. I ordered 6 shirts from Wish and not one of them fit! The tags in the collars read XL, but every shirt was at the very least mediums. When I contacted them, I was told that I should give the items as gifts to family or friends because the shipping would be too costly!

I love wish and I have the app. It is definitely a gamble and you can't have high expectations. You're not going to shop for quality. You're shopping for the bargins. The clothes are cheap and smaller than standard U.S sizing so you should order larger. Yes, it takes a long time to ship but because it's from CHINA. sometimes it's quick though. Again. A gamble and being patient. I've ordered lots of products that were ehhh...mediocre....or even great, but they worked, got the job done and the price was cheap so I am satisfied. If I'm worried about quality, I order else where. Sometimes you order something and quality is great! So far they've been good about refunding money..when I want to cancel what I bought before it ships. Either way it is all a good deal vs others. The only question I'm wondering is ... the deal dash of the day...whether or not it's an actual deal or if they just say you are. Idk.

I have bought around 15 items from Wish. I too was very skeptical so I made sure the items didn't cost very much and that it wasn't something I was needing. I received all of the items I had ordered (most of them before expected) on time. I made sure to read all the reviews on each item before buying and the reviews for each merchant. With the exception of 1, all the items were exactly what I ordered. (Just made sure to order up on sizes as the reviews advised). The 1 bad item I received was $2.00. I figured no big loss. One another item was beautiful but had a strange smell which fabric refresher took care of. The costume wig I ordered was very heavy duty and well made. I think you get what you pay for. I do continue to purchase items from this site, but always read the reviews first and the merchant reviews. So far, so good. :)

NO do NOT buy from Wish. I thought it was a nice website, until we got a call saying someone from another country bought a plane ticket to another country using our card. And someone in Piru was purchasing things from our card. People got our card information from Wish. Do NOT buy anything. That website is a SCAM. Yes, I got everything I ever ordered from them, but the fact that people got our card information from it makes me never want to usr the website again. I recommend using another site.

That's a multi-million dollar domain name. Scammers could not afford to have a domain name like that, and if they did have it, they would not use it for scamming and risk having it taken away. Do you understand that domain names are like real estate? There's tons of companies that would love to have a marketable domain name like "wish.com". I don't need to buy from wish.com to know it's a legit site. The domain name says it all. They could sell that domain name to a company today and have millions of dollars. They aren't going to use it for scamming.That would be idiotic.

I've bought many items from wish.com and continue to. I love the site. I even have the app, haha. The only thing I do not buy from there are clothing items. The prices are great, but the clothing is based on small Asian sizes, and I live in America and wear large American sizes, lol. So buying clothing from wish.com can be tricky and yiu shold orobab buy 1 to 2 sizes bigger. Other than that, my husband and I love the site! And as long as you read reviews for whatever item you're buying, you should be fine. I've never had an issue with customer service either. I've always been refunded, and they refund you before you even mail the items back! 😊

I heard of wish.com from an ad that popped up in one of my apps. I decided to give it a try, and after browsing through the app for a while I found a few cheap $1-$5 items that I wanted. I ordered the items and all of them were delivered to me through the mail. Now, obviously they took a while to get to my house. The earliest was 2 weeks, the most a month. This should be expected though because they are coming all the way from China and have to travel to customs too. So if you are going to order something for a specific date such as Christmas, it would be wise to order it over a month early. Since then, I have ordered more items, increasing in price and worth. I ordered a Christmas gift for my dad for around $30 and it too arrived in time for Christmas and it was in perfect condition. The customer service from what I have seen is exceptional. I ordered a hoodie and it was delivered in the wrong size, so I sent in a request to Wish explaining my problem. They replied back within a day, and gave me several different options. I chose to refund the item and purchase it again, and they even let me keep the item that was oversized, so I gave it to my dad. Overall, this site is a great shopping website to find great bargains on popular items, as long as you don't mind a little of a wait for shipping.

I have been happy with my purchases from Wish.com. Buyer beware though, you won't get the best quality out there. But, it has been worth the gamble for me because the prices are so low. A word to the wise, merchants may have widely varying prices for the same item, so shop around on the site, I actually have fun doing that. It does take a long time to get your orders because they ship from China, but that hasn't been a problem for me. And, if you're not familiar with the metric system, use an online converter to figure out how big the item is that you are ordering (the rugs, for example). Popular items sell out quick, and so far the ones I'm watching have't come back in stock, so act quickly if you see an ad for something you want.

I have actually just purchased a dress from there and it had arrived a few days before the estimated shipping time. I ordered a pair of leggings from Wish on the same day and today is the last estimated shipping day, but I have quite the strong feeling that they will not arrive onetime or even at all. Wish seems like a good place to buy if you read more into the store websites the item is being shipped from but if it seems a little too good to be true I would play it safe and not order anything; especially because anyone can post products on it.

I was worried about this website but got offered a $10 credit and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised with my whole experience. I ordered a few things (wii remote, kids pjs) and everything shipped faster then expected, and was nicer then expected (I was hesitant because everything ships from China and you just never know...) I am not affiliated with them at all, I just want to let people know that it ISN'T a scam and that I have been impressed with it. I did a review on the items I bought on my facebook page if you want to check it out. Just search the "coupon addict for life" on facebook.

I have purchased multiple items on there. Some have not come in, but I got a refund for them. Others have come in broken, but I got a refund for them, or they sometimes give you the option to have a new one sent. But I have received plenty of items that were in good condition.

I do advise to check the comments to see what most people have said about the item, like maybe it was a few days late or maybe on the good side it was a few days early, or if it is bad quality, etc.

But ya so I have ordered from there and it is a very trustworthy site, and if anything buy something super cheap like something that's $4 and see what you think

I ordered a jacket off there and it was sent to Oregon instead of to my address in Indiana. I contacted the store and the replied right away and said that they will give me a full refund and if the package happens to come to me I can keep it "on them" so I don't really know about this site. Just to be safe I wouldn't get the app or delete it if you do have it!!

I'm talking for myself and my friends and family members. Wish is the best app and site where you can buy stuff at a ridiculous price. Products aren't big brands but they aren't so cheap neither, for the price you'll pay it worths the waiting. Sometimes it takes longer than estimated but you get a nice product for a decent price. I've bought so far electronics, watches, dog products, computer accesories and decoration. On 10 items bought 2 were delayed and 1 never came but tou get reimbursed within a week. I even bought a laptop support which had a mouse plate missing and just because of that they offered and did reimbursed me 30$!!! You'll never see that anywhere. So basically I got my item for free I don't really car the mouse plate I don't need it and I had my item for free. So overall, yes, best app and site so far, very secured, nothing to loose if tou don't get tour item on time ask for reimbursement and you'll get reimbursed and even if you still get your stuff, you keep it.

I bought somethig from Wish and just a week later my Credit Card was hacked and there was an unauthorized charge. I think it's a big Chinese scam. Almost all the products are China made and exported from China so you got to wait for months.

I purchased a jacket from them over a month ago and I am still waiting for it to arrive. Although the estimated time of arrival was about 10 days ago. I don't know if I will receive my jacket, but I know that I won't buy from them again. It takes to long to deliver. If I don't get my jacket in another couple of weeks. I will really be ticked off. My recommendation, based on my experiences so far, don't buy from them unless you are a very patient person.

I purchased three items from them. Yes the material is cheap but what can you expect for $8-10 Items. The size was smaller than I anticipated but still fit. I received all but one of the items within three weeks. I am pleasantly surprised with my purchase. I purchased from another site Rosegal.com and I am still waiting for a refund when I didn't receive the items and they keep making excuses as to why I haven't received them so I think for the minor hassles I had a wish.com are worth it.

I've bought Bluetooth headphones from there for my kids. $9. $12 with shipping. They did break after a year or so but at that price I wasn't too upset. I just bought my son a new pair and a pair for myself for running. Also an armband for my phone for $2. iPhone cables for $3. The headphones aren't great sounding but you're not gonna get an audiophiles dream for the price of a happy meal. Rock bottom prices for stuff you'd pay twice as much for at Walmart or Target.

The app/site is alot like ebay, the products on there come from side companys. I have used this site for awhile now and as much as I would like to purchase from them, it would be pointless. You can actually look there the comments of an item and see the numerous comments from people who have paid for the item and are still waiting months later. Its a great "tease" site but I wouldnt recommend buying anything.

It's knock off garbage that's sold at a wholesale price and shipped by what I can only imagine is a guy on horseback and the horse is also retarded...and the guy riding the horse has a horrible sense of direction. Is it an outright scam...no, a scammer has the common decency to take your money and run, these jerkoffs fool you with subpar inventory and make you almost die of old age waiting for your hot garbage to arrive at your doorstep.

I PERSONALLY DONT KNOW IF THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM BUT I VE ORDERED RINGS, SD CARD FOR PHONE,PAIR OF SANDALS,PURSE, WATCHES AND ALL THE ITEMS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. I HAVEN T HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE YET. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAD A QUESTION OR CONCERN ABOUT SOMETHING I RECEIVED A REPLY A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD THING. THE ONLY THING IS THE ITEMS TAKE LONG SOMETIMES TO ARRIVE BUT THEY COME FROM CHINA SO I GUESS ITS THE REASON . TO BE ON A SAFE SIDE I RECOMMEND NOT TO ORDER WITH YOUR CREDIT CARDS OR DEBIT/CHECKING CARD. BETTER OFF USING PAYPAL OR A PREPAID CARDS. HOPE THIS IS OF HELP.

If you download their mobile APP, they will take all of your contacts information and start emailing/message then. Meaning, if you decide to buy some sexy undies, they will then message all of your friends telling them (confirmed in writing from them). There have been reports of consumers downloading the app, never ordering and then having charges on their credit card (easy to figure out that, right). They violate all sorts of privacy issues. Also remember, Asian sizes are small, so an American Large will be their 2XL. Do not buy anything other than regular material items, like cotton etc, if you do it will be synthetic and junk. Do not touch leather etc, it's not real. Shipping on DHL out of China starts at $60.00.

My sister orders from wish all the time. She loaded me down with fingernail supplies and earrings. She buys from them regularly and hasn't had a problem yet. I'm getting ready to order a few things and then I'll be able to share my experience. As for now, I think it's okay. Read the reviews and go by those. I personally wouldn't order any clothing from there. But that's me.

From what I've seen it looks like it's mostly knock-off merchandise from China. The discounts are grossly exadurated as well. A lot of the merchandise has a original price listed upto twice the cost of the brand name equivalent found elsewhere. I don't know if I'd call it a scam, but it's definately buyer beware.

Warning To Merchants-

I used this service for about 6 months and it was fine. They paid me on time and didn't charge selling fees as stated. Then a few weeks ago they started charging 10% without notification of changes to their policy. What's worse is they now make you press a "shipped" button and add tracking no longer than 7 days after the order has been placed. So for merchants like me who rely on 3rd party shippers/supplier this can be a hassle especially since it was during the Christmas season. So while I fronted the cost to get the items to my customers on time my supplier didn't get me my tracking information in time and now they refuse to pay me what they owe me. I talked to customer service about this several times and they kept reneging on their promises to pay. So basically they have stolen my money. I will not use their services as a buyer or seller and I suggest you think twice before committing to them.

I ordered a shirt from there and it came 10 days earlier than it should.



Everything runs small cause it's from China, they have different sizes than what they have her in the US. Or wherever you're from.



The shirt was cute, and people say the quality of the clothes suck but what do you expect if the clothes are super cheap. I'm happy with my order. If you're thick (like me) try and order XL everything that's clothes.



Some people have good experiences, some have very bad ones. So, it's up to you to order. Gotta take a risk to find out yourself.

When I started ordered from this app - I really liked the innovative products and attractive cost. I have now ordered over $250.00 worth of small to medium electronics. AT this point - about 35% of what I ordered arrived DOA (dead on arrival) - the quality control is bad but the customer service is worse. The company Wish - who does the transactions - takes no responsibility for the products they sell or the vendors they allow to sell through there online portal. There is ZERO ability to reach a representative and if something does not work - you are told to ship it back to China at your cost and wait another 60 days for a replacement. Even if you want to return it - you will need to pay shipping to China. The whole business model no longer works for me.

I will never order from the again. Ad was misleading. When I completed all the information to submit for a refund and send the item back the email said to print the attached shipping label but there was no shipping label attached to the email and support didn't even respond to this part of my complaint. I will let my friends and family know what a disappointing and poor experience ordering from Wish.com has been. Never again.

Products are not what they are represented to be . It does take along long time to get your orders and if you ordered clothes, know they are going to be super small. I had also ordered an XXL dog coat and it probably wouldn't even fit a baby yorkie because it was so tiny. All I could do was laugh.. The prices are right but I will not use this site again.

I heard of Wish from a friend. At first I was wary of ordering anything. I eventually ordered a few little things to see if they arrived. OK so its a cheapsite but they state that it could take sometime before you receive your order, they don't promise that it will arrive early. So far, I have been happy with my purchases and they have been well packed to prevent breakage. Ok at some point, something may arrive broken or bashed but the items have been packed well and the packer has tried to protect the item from arriving unusable. I will certainly order again.

I've gotten everything I've ordered through wish.com. I expected it to take a long time because it does come from China and the shipping is cheap. You get what you pay for so as long as you aren't expecting too much it can be fun. I would NOT spend money on anything expensive or spend more than I was willing to lose.

I have bought from, Wish. I will never buy clothes from them again. Ordered a coat. Which took over a month to get to me. When it did. The coat was way to small for me. The material of the coat was not all that great either. End up giving it took a girl, I know. Fit her perfectly. I did order two other items. They came within two weeks of ordering. A bracelet and set of make-up brushes. These two items, I would have to say I am very pleased with. Though the bracelet was a small size. It fit my mother perfectly. The bracelet is beautiful. Very well made. The make-up brush set was great as well. I will buy non clothes items from them. Clothes, I will not purchase again from there. Or if there is, I need right away. In my opinion they are not a scam.

I send a message to the store they responded tell me to send it back for a exchange or refund but they never gave me the info to do that. More massages and ni response. Dont Waste your time buying from here. Very disappointin.

wish.com has terrible merchandise. my sister ordered a violin which came broken. the bridge was missing and one string broken. It was packed in a shrink wrap plastic bag. Imagine a delicate instrument in a plastic bag! Why would they not use a box at least. Wish.com is not giving her a hard time in refunding her money. They want her to pay for the return shipping, which incidentally cost $65, They will not refund this $65 either. Buy from a more reputable source, This website is selling junk and they don t care. I WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM WISH.COM

Yes and no. We did receive the product we ordered. But, it isn't what the description said, was scratched, and did not fit. Peephole camera.

NOW.....I'm trying to return the product for a refund......they are making it almost impossible to get a refund. There are so many steps to the process that I'm positive Wish hopes I give up so they can keep my $32.00 dollars.

I'm not giving up, and, I will send it back certified mail.

Amazon is a better online shopping experience, cost more, but worth it.

One order took more than 2 months. I've had some orders come in 2 weeks. My last order was officially delivered, just not to the correct address. The sender would not reply to several requests to file a claim with the carrier and I was not aloud to because it is the senders responsibility. They never responded to my emails other than a computer generated reply saying they would. WISH won't be receiving any more orders from me.

abotu this website, l want to let you know that l been using them for a while, the merchandise is cheap, and of course you get what you paid for it, the biggest issue is that most of the time the items is not working, so far l been getting 45 % of the items are either broken or malfunction, it's hard to get the money back, and honestly l have to say be careful when you are dealing with Chinese they are very dirty and dishonest, so l don't want to to say that they are worst, but they are not that good, just be careful do not buy anything from then if you don't have to, if you do be ready for unpleasant surprises

Yes a big time scam and they just got caught. WARNING TO ALL PEOPLE USING WISH< STOP USING IT and tell everyone else to stop asap.



They are a huge scam. I have some instead information that I will release here under this fake account....



They are being investigated by the IRS, Fraud Bureau Department and FBI or at least my source says that it is about to start. Huge Law suites under going or on the way.



Think about it, they send products that are nothing like what they advertise, mostly from companies in china and japan...which the U.S government has even told the public, applications like this one are a dime a dozen and some get bigger than others, mostly because their employees are the ones giving ratings, creating fake accounts to give fake reviews and telling people to join and buy off the site.



They use strategic blogging methods to make people think that the site is legitimate, which is fraud. So basically what i heard from my resource is they pissed off the wrong person, that person starting asking his colleagues in Washington to investigate this company, they did and they are gonna be in some huge trouble.



also I have order from wish three times, and sent back all three items, while paying to have them sent back, its all counterfeit items and they lie about the price deduction....to make it look like you are getting a huge discount, which again is against the law.....



DO NOT TRUST WISH< DELETE THE APP< START BLOGGING TELLING PEOPLE TO AVOID IT.....LETS NOT LET THEM WIN...AND GET OUR MONEY TO SEND TO CHINA.

I've bought three watches off of wish and I love them. I think with this site you would have to really look at the reviews to see what other people are saying. I wouldn't buy any clothing or shoes because they come too small and they're made incrediblably cheap.

I've just noticed they're being promoted on F/B. A quick search on them provided me with clues as to their trading partners. I'm in the UK. 1)They are in another country. 2) A quick search provided far too many negative reviews of buyers emails being ignored. 3) Prices are way too low to be safe.

I'm not saying the site isn't legit, just whatever you buy might not be returnable/fixable. Remote buying is fraught with the potential for you to lose your hard earned as it is. Ignoring your queries says it all.

No thanks. I'd rather buy from the more reputable sites.

Horrible wait time!!! Would not recommend this site to anyone!! I am not an ebay fan, but at least when I order from them, I receive my products in a timely manner. Even when they come from overseas. This Wish site is a total waste of time.

I ordered "Night Vision Viewer Spy Security Scope Binoculars Binocular Telescope" almost 4 weeks ago, I received first e-mail that your product has been shipped and will reaching me in 3 days, yesterday was browsing another product and just added into cart and when I click on check out it has not asked me for my confirmation instead directly deducted money from my CC so that is suspecious! Still waiting for my product to be delivered!

I ordered an electric balancing board for $55, I kept on tracking it, after it was shipped out and landed at JFK on Nov 27th, I didn't see it move , then on Dec 10th, I get an email saying it was sent to the wrong address and I was getting a refund. And that I can reorder the item if I wanted to. Yes,I wanted to but will I get it for $55. Can WISH stand by their name when they say they have your back. NO!

I have order 2 shirts and a scarf on my first order, received only one shirt which was very small and cheap material. On my second order a lip gloss and 2 pencil liner, rec'd only one liner and lip gloss, again bad experience and worse customer service. It is a scam nothing is guaranteed. NO MORE WISH.

I bought numerous items. It not only took forever for the items to get to me (almost 2 months) but when I received some of the items they were misleading ads. Instead of getting a set, they only send you one item. You order a Salt and Pepper Shaker set and you get one not two. You order Meat Claws and once again you only get "1". You order Super Suction Cups and you receive one all of which the adds show a photo of two and come in sets. I tried a few times to contact them via email because there is no phone number and they never returned my email to return the items for a refund. I will NEVER order nor recommend them again. That is what I get for buying overseas. :(

The site isn t a scam, but use the lowest grade of shipping, and lie about EVERY price on there. The pricing is kind of a though scam really, just google anything from there, and you ll see what I m talking about.

They will send you what you buy, it just takes about a month to get to you. That is, if they decide they can ship it to you and if the seller doesn't just take the item down without telling you. Then you have to wait over two weeks for your refund. They are absolutely horrible. I would recommend trying to find your item on amazon.com instead. It's usually cheaper there anyway. Wish is usually twice as expensive.

Wish isn t a scam, but A lot of sellers on wish are a scam. For example, a lot of sellers on wish post an item for sell that is really cheap. You buy it, seller provides you with a tracking number that supposedly delivers your item to a wrong address. When you request a refund, wish wants you to send in the item with you never received in order for you to get your refund. Try contacting wish and they NEVER REPLY.



LOOK AT THE SELLER RATINGS FOR THIS ITEM HERE ON WISH , You will see that they never received their item. https://www.wish.com/c/563659597e125e13631b9742

The most unreliable POS website. Horrible communications, Atrocious customer service... and absolute train wreck. I tried ordering, not much success, I tried writing for solutions, no success... just Nothing from these people. STAY AWAY... You will NOT be satisfied. Don t get caught by the low prices & try to order, you may never get your item or it may come broken or not as advertised. I "wish" I didn t have to say negative things about "WISH" but Lord Knows it s True! They SUCK! Run to Amazon & Ebay. Use Wish to find products but purchase them from a more reliable, confident, trustworthy supplier!

I think so! i ordered many items at once for the holiday and have recieved not even half of what i ordered and they said it was delievered so its the post office fault! you cant call a phone number to complain because they dont list one.and like they said above they dont respond to your inbox text? OH YEAH AND THE THINGS I DID GET WHERE DAMAGED.you know what i really don't like is they have your credit card info. and you can't erase it from your personal profile so i have to cancel my account! WHAT A HEADACHE THIS SITE IS! NEVER AGAIN! Should have stuck with amazon.com.......

Do not buy. Wish.com automatically checked out items on my husbands account and shipped them without his consent and because they use a intermediary payment company you owe that company the money instead of wish. The only way out is then to make a return which they make you pay for. Disgusting, appalling way of operating a retail business.

Do not let the domain name fool you. I also ordered 10 items of the same thing and only receive 1. I cannot get the merchants or Wish people to respond to my complaint. There is no phone listing for the customer service help. So stay away and lets watch them change their name to another domain to make their rounds there.

I bought a thumb drive that was supposed to be 1 terabyte. I didn't think it was possible at such a low price. Of course, it wasn't. The computer shows it as having 960GB, but you can only copy about 20GB of material onto it before it stops working.

I have brought some reallly great things from there. Like this one sweater dress and another gray dress. But these other 2 dresses I got were not great quality but still wearable. So it's hit and miss. You just gotta look at the customer reviews and pictures.

I started buying from Wish a couple of months ago. I gotta admit that I have become addicted! If you are going to buy from them, you have to realize that their sizes are Asian (small) sizes, so you have to order a couple of sizes larger that what you would normally. It also takes about a month to get to you. Sometimes the photos of the product are kinda enhanced, but overall, I am very happy with what I am getting!

2015-05-25 12:29:47 UTC
Okay people complaining it's taking so long for you to get your items....they're coming from CHINA. It can take anywhere from 3-8 months to get your stuff. If you want it the next day pay for convenience and order from Amazon. Otherwise; yes, it will take awhile to get your stuff, also Asian sizes run much smaller than U.S. sizes so take that into consideration to and order at least 1-2 sizes bigger.

Wish is about the same price as e-bay or Amazon. But the shipping is 2 to 3 times long then eBay from the same locations. Plus Wish gives false Arival dates. I ordered 3 item from wish.. I still haven't received them. Contacted wish they said just wait longer.....

I've never bought from Wish, but I am a former merchant. I do know that Wish is not good at keeping quality merchants. Merchants almost never get paid on time, and if they complain they're accused of fraud and terminated. Wish still owes me over $200.

I shop on there and their partner site "Geek" all the time... Yes...things take awhile to show up...but that's because most come from China...so it takes some time for stuff to get through customs...although a month is usually pushing it. It gives estimated delivery dates...which are typically extremely accurate.

If your expectations are properly set, Wish can be a great place to get things. You just need to assume that damn-near everything these is a Chinese knockoff, and that the "better" the deal appears, the crappier the product will be. Now there are some things that are great - things where quality isn t as important. I ve bought things like LED bulbs that change colors, induction charger for my cellphone, batteries, supplies for fishing & camping, etc. - and all of that was fine. However, I wouldn t look to get a nice watch or expensive electronics there - you ll most likely be disappointed.



There are two things you can easily do to help protect yourself. 1) check the Product Ratings. If you dig enough, you can usually get a decent idea of how well the item performs for the price; and 2) do some googling for the same product. Usually you can get the knockoff manufacturer s name from the Description or from the pics of the item. Search for them, and see what the reviews are like and - more importantly - can you get it for the same price or cheaper without going through Wish.



If you have the proper expectations and protect yourself, you ll find Wish is a valuable tool for getting a good bargain.

WISH is a Chinese manufacturer portal offering fakes and knock-offs directly to you the customer. I bought a 1TB USB stick that was a fake, it was 16GB pretending to be 1TB and it locked when the 16GB was used (I checked the flash memory chip) - Wish did cheerfully refund the money but it was a hassle. The price (£8 + P&P) was a fraction of what it should have been and that is the clue.



WISH know that most of the listed products are fake and poor quality, but they sell it very cheap. It is cheap because the merchandise is Dollar Store quality.



My advice:



ONLY buy with Paypal to refund from them if need be

EXPECT long shipping times direct from China

DON'T expect any sense from email queries

BE prepared to be disappointed with products

HAVE fun with it if you got a little spare cash

Someone told me about the site and I was skeptical and placed an order of a bunch of 1 and 2 dollar items and they all came. It is so fun browsing through their stuff and whenever I think of something new, I search for it and they always have some form of it. So far I have placed four orders and everything from the first three orders have arrived. The latest order is somewhat new so nothing yet. Overall I am happy with the quality except for one item which was too cheaply made to be useful, but it was only a buck. I even bought a watch for a buck and it is fantastic looking and it keeps perfect time. Nothing has come late yet so I haven't had to deal with that yet.

For any one seeing this, don't buy off of this company. They're selling expensive name brand make up, accessories and others for super cheap. Except those "name brand" things aren't real and I'm pretty sure what they're doing is illegal. Please especially don't buy the make up. It can contain lead, arsenic and ever rat feces. All their products come from China.

I bought 2 pairs of shoes from them but they are too narrow. I have tried by e mail to get them to respond that I want to return them for a refund. So far after 3 tries I finally gave up. If you try their 800 number don"t. It will lead you nowhere. So I disagree with most of you. It is indeed a scam and they should be investigated not only by the AG of California but also the AG of Texas.
