WishReviews 8,278

I've been reading through the reviews, and wanted a more clear picture to why some may believe wish is a scam. Wish is not a scam at all but instead an international shopping site. Meaning there are merchants from everywhere selling items. Just be cautious and know who you are buying from. Here's a link to some very valuable information about the site. I'd say to treat it more like an online flea market. http://www.advisoryhq.com/articles/is-wish-legit/

The first item I got from here wasn't too bad (a little tight and had a miniscule stain, but was okay besides that and I got compliments on it), so I decided to use Wish again for other items. So far, anything I've received from them beyond the first item has either not arrived (after over 2 months), or has been complete and utter garbage, and not what they advertise at all. The pictures of the items do not correlate to what the item you receive will look like, and all of the clothes items run incredibly small (their XL = S), or are made of toxic-smelling materials. A lot of the items do not really have many reviews, or they are in other languages and you can't understand what the people have said about them.

Their ETAs always change. Almost all of the things I've ordered in November that gave me an early/mid-December ETA have all change to mid-January 2017 now. I also asked for a refund on something I ordered on the same day, and they did not give me a refund. When I contacted customer service about it, they told me that they did refund it (even though I got charged the full price on my bill and there was nothing refunded.)

Do not take a gamble with this site unless you want to lose time and money; go with Amazon or a thrift store instead - it will be a much better use of your time.

The first week in October I ordered for delivery to Canada 7 items (18" doll clothes) from Wish. These were supposed to be Christmas gifts. Two of the items arrived within the time frame given. For the other 5 items, I waited one week past the due date, and then requested a refund from customer service. Customer service was excellent. All refunds were cheerfully given and received on my credit card within three days. It's been almost three months since I placed my original order, and since receiving my refunds, two items have shown up in my mailbox (1 just today). So... Don't order anything you absolutely have to have. There seems to be no guarantee as to what will arrive. One of the items that failed to arrive actually had a tracking number with Canada Post! Be prepared to wait MONTHS. The prices are excellent, and the goods that arrived were well worth the price. I had no difficulty getting refunds. But, for a few dollars more, I could get similar items at Walmart.

I ordered 2 different times one day after another. It was confirmed. Claimed that it was being shipped. Next thing I know. My second order was immediately refunded and they claimed that my first order was as well. It didn't show up on my bank statements as refunded, but it showed the second as refunded. Then the second order didn't even appear on my bank statement as ever being withdrawn. The first was finally refunded. But they never explained why! I never got anything from it but days worth of headaches and let downs. Absolutly Horrible experience! Don't even bother!

I shop on wish, frequently. I have only bought items such as jewelry, sunglasses, some makeup and cell phone cases. So my experience may differ.

1. The shipping does take at least about a month lol. But I understand this. I also track the packages. Only on two occasions, my shipping order never arrived - I was immediately refunded AND shipped another item!

2. As far as ordering clothes, I have no idea how small or large they run. But my advice would be to first - stick to items such as sweatpants and sweatshirts. ALWAYS buy a size up. Then once you have some experience as to how the clothes run in terms of sizing - then begin to buy blouses and other fancy tops.

3. I personally wouldn't order shoes from the site bc I always like to try shoes on before I buy.

Overall, this site has worked for me. I have had only two issues with shipment but I was immediately refunded and received another item for free! I stick to non clothing items, but hopefully one day I will be brave enough to venture out to buy clothes and shoes from them.

Happy Wishing!
