Junk, junk, junk
December 22, 2015

I ordered a sat nav. It was cheap but it has never worked properly. Tried to get a refund or replacement through their refund policy and explained what the problems were. They asked me to send a photo of this but how does a photo explain the problems?
They are just making it as impossible as they can so you will tend to forget it.
Never believe that THEY HAVE YOUR BACK, They have your cash and that, s IT.

My daughter wanted to buy a bunch of items from wish.com. After reading all the reviews we decided to try it with 3 smaller orders first. The website is easy to navigate and the deals are amazing! The first item arrived sooner than expected. The other 2 items arrived at the same day a week later. I didn't keep track how long it exactly took since we were not in a hurry, but it was around 14-21 days. This is what the website states very clearly. The items came straight from China, most likely from different manufacturers, although it could be the same warehouse too since the packaging was very similar. The quality is exactly as you can expect for the price.
We will order more from them when not in a hurry.

Delivered goods not as advertised and refused to provide a suitable way to sprt out problem. Will only accept a tracked return to another continent that will cost more than the goods.
1. Rubbish quality goods
2. Inaccurate and misleading advertising
3. Awful customer service
4. Separate company collecting money so nonsensical communication.
5. site returns policy makes no reference to you returning to a crazy far away location.

Shipping Surprise
December 22, 2015

Yes. Why do they wait until after getting the payment information BEFORE you see how much the Shipping Cost? That is FRAUD.

Fraud
December 22, 2015

The items and listings are misrepresented. If u want to return it you have to pay to send it back even tho the stores lie about what they are sending you. Do not use this site you will regret it.

Wish serviced my needs very well. I will not receive a hoodie I ordered for my puppy before Xmas, but that's minimal considering I ordered about 20 different items on Dec 7th and have received almost everything so far. Also missing a couple pair of gloves and a 'Tree of Life' necklace which were all ordered for me, but I guess Santa comes a little late for mom. Every item my 16 yrs old daughter picked - I read the reviews. I read whether the sizes ran small or kinda big (mostly small)... scrolled through ALL pictures until I saw user-added pictures and decided out of the 30 items she picked which ones to order. If you notice, every item ships from a different 'shop'. Wish is simply a site/app that compiles all different inexpensive items that ship from various different shops around China. Pay attention to the reviews, what you order and be a conscious consumer and you'll get what you ordered. If the reviews say it's not good - DON'T order from that shop (that item). As for my Wish experience, I give it a 9 out of 10 score. Also, if trying to contact Customer Service, make note that they are in CHINA. If you call during U.S. business hours, you will not be successful contacting anyone. HINT: Be conscious of the time difference. In summary: Simple and easy shopping for any shopper with web shopping knowledge. If you keep all of these factors in mind, your Wish(es) will be granted. --Dee in Ohio

Never again!
December 21, 2015

I ordered a 2 wheel balancing scooter that they said was delivered to a wrong address. When I contacted DHL who delivered the package to another state, told me that the package was not a balancing scooter it was fiber optics and was meant for the person who signed for it. Which means they never shipped what I ordered. I will never order from Wish again.

Illegal - I need help!
December 19, 2015

I ordered some stuff from wish for halloween, had inputted my card details and clicked 'pay now', and presumed it had come out of my account... Recieved the items around 2-3 weeks later. Got a letter 2 months later saying I had an outstanding payment and they had added on a delayed payment fee, saying that even if I had payed prior to the letter, I had to pay the delayed payment fee! I am only 14 and have not signed any credit agreement and therefore I should not have been sent the products - it is illegal without a parent, they are in the wrong! Checked my account to make sure I had payed but the money hadn't been debited. The letter referred to another reminder for payment which I didn't recieve, and as the first letter they shouldn't be so threatening. I had ordered christmas presents for my whole family a week before recieving the letter and have no money to pay it - what do i do!? Can't they mark addresses if they refuse payment?

Ordered three items on November 25. One was received two weeks ago. The other two allegedly arrived in the US (in CA) on December 9, yet here it is ten days later and they have not gotten from CA to AZ. I have contacted the company two times, both times they told me to wait 3 - 5 more days. No updates on tracking since December 9... so apparently the company and the carrier have no idea where the items are. When the items were purchased, there was no indication they were being shipped from out of the country, otherwise I would not have ordered them. Will be filing BBB complaint if they are not received by Wednesday. I would recommend you shop elsewhere. This company's practices seem to be extremely questionable and they are not responsive to customer inquiries or concerns.

Scam artist thieves
December 19, 2015

Lets assume you make a mistake and order the wrong item. Oh waut i did just that. Never even closed the app before I requested the refund. They had no problem gettung the money but i did make a mistake and spent 56.00 dollars now 3 weeks later i still cant get my money returned. And each time i ask they say please allow more time please br patient great that works for the fist week but almost a month later please. And it gets worse. If you actually get items you ordered keep in mind I ordered all these items at once. Items available for purchase are horrible cheaply made or bottom of the barrel crap. Then if once you get the item. Now know I won't get a return I can't send it back cause now you have to pay for shipping and you most certainly get a refund so your stuck with garbage. If I were you I would beware and never ever buy anything using this app

Here I am trying a site for the first time. I guess that's what I get for trying to find a deal. I ordered 2 items on the same day. It's the 18th day and still no tracking info change. How can a package be in route to JFK and 10 days later be back in China where it originally started. I strongly advise to make sure it's not shipping from China. The second package finally left China today. 18 days from order date.

I was excited that they giving out free product plus $1 dollar shipping for new customer, so i joined them, grab the item plus an extra $200 worth of product. The order was paid out right on the spot via PayPal. Waited for a week without any update, so i file a ticket with them, later they say my order is declined and put me on "Fraud Alert". JUST WTF?

*This site is a joke, stay away from it.

My account was charged $208.05 for a $10.00 item. This caused my bank account to bounce. I am noticing there was a second withdrawal attempt in the amount of $210.00, that did not go through because of the first withdrawal causing my account to bounce.
