Has anyone used wish.com?

    www.wish.com - also has iphone and android apps. A mate sent it to me - looks to be some nice stiff on there and its crazy cheap! As a guy who rarely buys clothes online, I like the idea of browsing stuff, 'liking' it - then buying later. Postage will take a good while as it comes from asia, but for the cost savings for simpel stuff like shirts and tshirts I don't mind. Also its kinda unique stuff. I'm just concerned about the quality.

    Has anyone use it?

    Thanks for that, interested. Yes I knew it was an ebay type site – and it clearly states there are very long wait times on the site so that would not bother me at all. Happy to wait 6 weeks if I can get a nice shirt for €9!

    I’m just wondering will they fall apart after 3 washes or will it look nothing like the picture when I get it.

    I might have a bash and order a couple of things and see how it goes

    The miss's wants too order a few bits from them. Any feedback from people who have used it before would be appriciated


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 706 ✭✭✭SATSUMA


    My friends buy from it all the time. It's basically a load of crap but it's cheap so that's what you are getting and the expectation is low. There's a fair bit of fake stuff too. The pictures are not always accurate. It's a bit hit and miss I think. They have got a few nice bits like pens and nail stickers and a lip stick holder but that's the extent of it. Hope that gives you a little insight! Oh and it usually takes about three weeks not the six weeks.

    My brother is always buying stuff on Wish - usually sports clothing for the gym etc.

    It takes a few weeks to arrive and some of the brand name stuff (if not all) is fake but it seems to be of decent quality at a low price. I am actually going to order a few Adidas training pants as they look and feel exactly like the originals.

    Similar to Ali Express by the looks of it.

    Read the reviews on the items, they'll give you a good laugh.

    Ya my miss's is interested in getting clothes... A few dress's that she'll only wear once any ways and gym gear... For 7/8 quid for dress's she doesn't care if they don't last forever just once they survive the night ha ha

    www.aliexpress.com has loads of similar stuff as well. Has anyone used them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭Wellyd


    I ordered a few bits from wish.com on Sunday. Got emails yesterday to say that the items were processed and ready to be shipped. So I'm just sitting with my fingers crossed for the next 24-36 days awaiting delivery!

    Would I have gotten them sooner if I used parcel motel? There isn't one where I live.

    Raging! Didn't realise! There isn't actually one in the town I live in but I would've travelled a little bit to the nearest one. Cheers for the tip I'll know for future orders!

    Bit of a thread revival, but, is anyone else having problems getting stuff from wish and their sister site geek..?

    Several of my purchases since the beginning of Dec have gone missing. Tracking details show them having arrived here, but not getting delivered.

    In fairness, wish are very good, and once the estimated delivery date has passed they do refund the cost (including postage)

    It just seems strange that it seems to be happening more often.

    I've noticed this a good bit lately. My first few orders everything came in no time and the last few orders have been missing loads. In fairness to them they do refund really quickly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 706 ✭✭✭tiredblondie


    happened me with wish.com - first batch of stuff i ordered all arrived and on time then the second lot of stuff i ordered either didn't arrive or arrived a few weeks past the due date.
    as you said, wish.com are great for refunds and no questions ever asked so at least i wasn't out of pocket!

    I'd still rather have the goods, than a refund.

    Glad to know its not just me though.

    All the stuff I ordered from start of the year have still not arrived despite tracking saying they came into Ireland around end of January, Has anybody stuff taking this long to come??

    If it has gone past the estimated arrival date just request a refund - i ordered another item even though nothing has been arriving for me in January and no sign yet....
    Think i'll be giving Wish.com a miss from now on

    And be sure to know what your delivery date is as they WILL change it so just say that you are requesting a refund due to item not arriving and estimated date of arrival changing

    They are too fond of moving the goalposts... I always keep the original email notification, as to estimated delivery time, just in case they change the date.... Sly buggas..!!

    On the upside, I ordered a worklight. Arrived a week before the due date. So its not all bad

    I wonder have customs started inspecting their parcels in more detail and the delay is with them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭Wellyd


    Received a mermaid blanket I ordered in mid October yesterday.

    I was charged for my order and the next day I received email that my account it's been blocked because of suspicious fraud activity and that I will be refunded which of course never happened. They asked me to send photo of my credit card with the credit card number covered, so they will unblock my account. I sent them photo, they unblocked my account but I never received my money back. After many emails sent I always received the same copy/paste answer that "the amount is refunded and I need to check with my bank", I have the bank statement to prove that I was charged and never refunded, but they're still telling me that I need to check with my bank. I read a lot of bad reviews about them, it was all suspicious to me and that's why just to test them I ordered a simple USB cable worth couple of euros, luckily I didn't ordered something bigger. Until today I never received my money back! Be careful people!
