Anyone used 'Wish' for shopping?

I keep seeing the app Wish appear in ads on a Facebook...it looks dirt cheap for some great, quirky stuff.

It promises great discounts as long as you can wait 14 days delivery. All sounds too good to be true...any experiences?

Yes, I have used it a few time, no issues at all but as you've said delivery is slow so expect items to take up to a month to arrive

My daughter gets parcels... all the time! She uses it a bit too much!

I use it a bit. However, now I compare if I can get it on eBay cheaper, especially with postage, as postage can really bump up the cost on Wish. But I’ve had no issues with anything I’ve bought on Wish so far.

We use it quite a lot and haven't had any problems with quality - but like above we also double check that we can't get the same thing cheaper elsewhere

Very cheap, don't expect it to come quickly either (very hit or miss), quality is quite poor - occasional good thing though.

I don't really like it tbh

I bought a £1 phone case just to test it out, it arrived in about three weeks which was faster than I expected but you really do get what you pay for, it’s a flimsy bit of tat

Dh uses them quite a bit and they do have good prices on quirky little things that you don't see elsewhere.
But I used them once (used Geek, which I think is the same) to buy a present for DH, a bait boat and it asked which country so I said UK so presumed it was in the UK. I had an email which said it had been delivered...it hadn't, but got no real response from Geek when I questioned it. It turns out that Parcelforce had it as it needed customs charges to be paid of £25! They certainly didn't tell me that and it made the item more expensive than Ebay. I didn't pay the charges so never received the item so now waiting for a refund.
I would say just be careful to make sure there are no unexpected charges as the whole thing has been a nightmare so I won't be using them again.
