Wish

A few months ago I was browsing Facebook and I saw these Wish ads multiple times. A legit eCommerce platform would never promote such child abuse subliminal messages. I'm questioning what Wish actually is right now and I urge everyone to call for an investigation into their activities because it could simply be used as a platform to allow child traffickers to communicate through subliminal messages. And why is Facebook allowing such ads in the first place? (See Attached Screenshots)

Please note that I posted this on other reviews websites too, I want this matter to gain attention quickly since children might be endangered.

I've never even been able to purchase anything through Wish, neither through the app nor Wish.com. I created an account, browsed a little, and when I found something I wanted to order, the app informed me that Wish needed more information. They requested I send a picture of my credit card and/or card statement. Whether or not I should have, I complied. When I emailed Wish customer service to ask why I was still blocked, they were supremely unhelpful and pointed me to their Terms of Service, but didn't tell me what I had done wrong. Now I'm short a Christmas present and a bit ticked off, but whatever. If others have had okay experiences with them, that's great, but generally you get what you pay for in life...

Update 09/18/2023
I've pretty much stopped using Wish. The shipping fees were getting out of control. It's also really hard to find specific items because they litter their results will all kinds of other crap. Quality of the goods is variable at best. They've lost their lock on the market category. I now use AliExpress pretty much exclusively. They've opened up their site to real reviews of the actual product you're buying and many include a rating of the store policies and ship times as well. Ship times have improved, and some items are now eligible for a free return.

I have purchased about 15 items from electronics to shoes. Everything I got was of low quality and only got worse after time. Nothing was useful after about 3 months. The makers of the app are slimy middle men that can care less after they get their cut. No customer support and the Chinese companies are unreachable. It is dollar store quality with long (2 month) waits and high shipping cost. Pictures are misleading, descriptions are purposely confusing, size charts are off, prices shown are for specific colors or sizes so if you don't pay attention you get fleeced. I can only conclude that the lack of regulation on misleading posts and low quality goods is part of the apps design. It seems to screw the consumer as a survival strategy.

No matter how you try to update any information wish is asking from you, through their payment update page or contact support, wish states you cannot contact support until you give them updated identification or payment verification information. However wish has made it impossible to do this preventing any contact with them under any circumstances. My last order never arrived and I'm entitled to a refund, however because I cannot update what they want because it's impossible to do so, I cannot obtain a refund or order. I even tried to deactivate the account and that was prevented by wish. I don't advise consumers using this website/business.

Not 24 hrs later I received a text from Wish contextlogic on a link where customer support can be reached. I returned response and am currently waiting on a reply to that response from Wish. I will update everyone as things change one way or the other.

I ordered some cheap masks from January 2020 and had the delivery postponed several times. The last notification for delivery is now July. I dont even have the option to cancel it now. I have not bought anything else and just realised when I happened to check my order history that there were two purchases amounting to almost $300 which I did not authorise and one refund of which I know nothing about. Someone has been using my account to place rubbishy goods on order just to take money from my account. Surely it's Wish themselves or their sellers! I know these are hard times but you can't cheat people of their hard earned money. Don't ever leave your credit card details on anuy shopping sites. BEWARE

The checkout process: OK, items in your cart. Wanna use a coupon? No coupon. How about this one? Not available. Looks like we've got an old address on file, you wanna update it? Good. We also don't have your current credit card. Re-enter it? Great. Choose a shipping option; "standard" or you can have the items "shipped to store" for half the price--just choose a store below. (Unfamiliar w/ that store. Leave Wish to look it up on Google maps. Huh, no longer in business. Return to Wish>Shopping cart>shipping>choose standard>place order). SCREW YOU! You ran out of time. Pay double for each item!

I loaded app & went looking at women's clothing. Prices greatly differed on seller's site to those shown on search page. Prices also increased each dress size. Read customer reviews if you do decide to purchase, they will give you true overview of item.
Not experienced a site like Wish before. Have removed app.

Foolishly I bought from Wish. Am kicking myself for being impulsive because there are so many negative reviews that nobody in their right mind would fall for it. Nothing has arrived. No doubt it's Chinese rubbish anyway and would have ended up in the bin. My priority is to protect my account now because so much of the feedback speaks to them stealing money from your account. Don't understand how these types of thieves can't be banned from the internet.
