Wish Website

[shivvy]

I have not used the 'Wish' website yet but have seen a few items that I am interested in.
However the prices are extremely cheap! Is this because the quality is very poor and/or because everything is made in sweatshops?
Also they seem to ship items from many locations worldwide. So do they have high shipping costs? And are returns an issue re cost and multiple locations?
Am I able to see all this info for the items before I commit to placing an order?
If anyone has experience of using Wish I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks.

Have I just clicked on the correct website? Lots of moving images that can't be clicked on and a log on screen? No price information, no information of any kind

You have summed it up really, the majority is cheap stuff and yes most likely made in what we would call sweatshops - I have purchased at the lower end of their range.

I would never even consider trying to return items so avoid more expensive gadgets.

Delivery times are lengthy but most things are as described.

It's not good according to this review site, but can we trust the review sites?

Thanks mamyalynne.
Thats kinda why I'm looking for personal experience barry.
Denton did it say when you are likely to receive the jacket?

[barry1010]

How much was the postage, Denton?

If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is

[Mamyalynne]

With clothing the main thing to watch is the sizing,Chinese sizing is very small and even if there is a conversion chart it doesn't always quite work out.

Small plastic items for the kitchen or craft stuff is safer.

[shivvy]

Yes it was clothing Mamyalynne so that's a good point.

Compare the price on wish with other online shops and make the conclusion, if it's too nice to be true, then you should look for another oprion.

they sell the most extraordinary things.

I get ads on my mobile for things such as "diletto self pleasuring chair" or dog pants.
I once ordered a dress from there and it was cheap but also looked cheap. Also the sizing was rubbish, I would never buy anything expensive from them, and would never try to send anything back

[wolf63]

I have to say the Dog Pants is a strange concept. Are they cute little trousers or underpants?

[bednobs]

underpants (presumably for b**itches lady times)?

[bednobs]

ps I am much more alarmed by the self pleasuring chair :)

[wolf63]

I never considered lady pants.

The self-pleasuring chair could be dangerous - my bladder isn't as watertight as it once was.

£1 pound postage,Barry.

I've bought a few things from their website, some good, some not so good. Mainly craft items and artificial flowers. I did buy some pool noodles a couple of weeks ago but when they came they didn't have a hole down the middle (they did in the photo!) I contacted customer services and they refunded me (without having to return them)! As someone already said, you get what you pay for!
