To order from 'WISH' ?

Not a real AIBU and I know IBU to ask here but has anyone ordered from WISH? Did you pay by debit card or PayPal? Did the order actually arrive? TIA

I used PayPal. I was on another thread for this where I reviewed my first few things, I'll find a link.

WhiteDust · 05/08/2018 20:46

Thank you! I should have searched MN first! Looks too good to be true!

I paid by debit card via Google pay. Everything has always arrived, sometimes quicker than expected, sometimes a lot longer.

You will never escape the adverts popping up randomly.

I pay by either PayPal or credit card. Everything I've ordered has arrived as described.

wineandcheeseplease · 05/08/2018 20:48

I've ordered loads. I pay vis paypal with zero issues

WhiteDust · 05/08/2018 20:50

I've just found a load of MN threads asking the same as me! I'm going to get reading. Thanks for your link too Mip !

PayPal seems to be the way to go!

I’ve bought loads of stuff. Only had one thing not arrive and got a full refund straight away. I pay by Paypal.

There are lots of YouTube videos showing the good and terrible of wish. A UK one that's done a few varieties along with a few other "too cheap to be good but actually not bad at all" is Jazzybumblee. She's ever so funny and honest and she tries everything on.
I'm quite tempted on a smart watch at the moment

Be aware that they sell child-like sex dolls - I read something about it a few weeks ago. Will try to find a link.

Ah. Not good. Unethical is not a strong enough word for that.

I've ordered from wish, always use PayPal and everything has always arrived, sometimes you have to wait a while but you can kind of track it on the website

TheOnlyLivingMumInNewCross · 06/08/2018 17:54

@Whiteside sorry!
She's ever so likeable isn't she? Some of them who do haul videos are dull or trying to be Zoella but I find hers fun.

bsbabas · 06/08/2018 19:54

I find fun stuff on wish then just get it off eBay about the same price give or take a pound

TheLittleThingsLikeVodka · 06/08/2018 20:23

I love wish- by the time it arrives I’ve usually forgotten I bought it so it’s like a surprise present lol

MipMipMip · 06/08/2018 20:29

Another one sucked into Jazzybum. I hope you get commission NewCross!

TheOnlyLivingMumInNewCross · 08/08/2018 12:10

Ha I wish!
It's so unusual for me to find a YouTuber that doesn't annoy the hell out of me. I love that she's not constantly going on about diets and her perfect life.

DanSullivan · 08/08/2018 12:13

I’m waiting for my first order from Wish to arrive.

MipMipMip · 08/08/2018 12:42

Did you see the wish post with the magic sponge? Very funny.

Caffeineaddict994 · 08/08/2018 13:04

I've had a number of things from wish, some worth the wait and some not. I paid via bank card and had no problems, everything always turned up.
My friend once told me she waits a week or so after she'd received her order then claim the order never arrived and got refunded every time! I was never brave enough to do that myself and tbh for the sake of a few quid wasn't that arsed - never even bothered to return stuff I didn't like/want anymore, I never spent more than a tenner in any one transaction though

Jinglesplodge · 08/08/2018 13:08

What's the Wish magic sponge thread? I'm not having any luck finding it and as someone who has just opened a parcel containing 20 magic eraser sponges from Wish about half an hour ago I'm very interested to see it...!

Wish is my new obsession. So cheap. So bizarre.

I much prefer Ali express
