Wish is my go-to for random low-cost stuff I don't want to overpay for. The marketplace has thousands of sellers so you can usually find what you need at a fraction of the cost. Wish the app pushed fewer notifications, but otherwise a solid deal-hunting experience.
Huge selection of budget goods
Too many app notifications
Honestly Wish is a gamble. Half my orders were great bargains that arrived fine, and the other half were flimsy or came damaged. When it works it's brilliant value, when it doesn't you're stuck arguing with a seller. I keep using it but with low expectations.
Low prices when sellers deliver
Inconsistent quality across sellers
For small things like cables, clips and seasonal decor, Wish delivers value you can't argue with. Some items look nothing like the photos, but most of mine were fine. A bit more accurate seller listings would push this to five stars.
Genuinely cheap everyday items
Photos sometimes misleading
I've ordered a bunch of phone accessories and kitchen gadgets off Wish and the prices genuinely beat anything in stores here. Quality is hit or miss but for the money I rarely complain. Only gripe is the delivery taking three weeks, which they could be clearer about upfront.
Unbeatable low prices
Slow shipping estimates
I ordered a watch that was marked as delivered but never showed up at my door. Wish support kept asking me to wait longer and then closed my dispute without a refund. For a discount marketplace they need to actually stand behind orders that go missing.
No refund for undelivered item; unhelpful support
