A variety of goods at wholesale prices

Huge discounts on everything
Shop for almost anything online. Search through hundreds of different categories and use filters to simplify your search.
Wish offers online shoppers a wide variety of products to search through and shop. Products are cheaper because they are coming directly from the factories and not from retailers. By buying at wholesale prices, you can avoid retail markups.
Wish allows you to create personalized wish lists. If you see something you like but are not going to buy it right away, you can save it for later in your wish list. The application follows your search patterns and online search history on the site and recommends products to you.
One of the challenges of the program is the advertised sizes are not always accurate. Buyers who are used to buying a particular size have been left disappointed with sizes not matching up. It is a safe bet to read the reviews on specific items you are looking at, as well as take note of the measurements if they are mentioned.
Some of the items may arrive and be of a lesser quality than expected. Previously it was mentioned that some items are cheaper because they’re wholesale; while this may be a great selling feature, quality control is not always what it should be on these items. The shipping time on these items is also slow; on average, it takes 18-21 days for an item to be delivered. Although some may find this slow, this speed is average for economy class international shipping.
Where can you run this program?
This is installable on Apple devices running iOS version 10.3 or later versions
Is there a better alternative?
Yes. Many online marketplaces offer products big and small. Sites like Amazon and eBay offer a wide variety of items, where you can read reviews, check measurements, and compare similar products all on one site.
Our take
Wish is a budget-friendly shopping app, but with lengthy shipping times and quality concerns it may be better to shop with another app.
Should you download it?
No. If you are looking for cheap party favors and are not in a hurry to receive them, then this is the site for you. However, if you need items shipped in a timely manner, or high-quality products, you won’t find it on this app.
