    I ordered a special dog collar.  It was very cheap.  It turned up after a month and was as advertised but by this time I'd ordered and received another one from elsewhere.  Ordered a couple of face masks, turned up after a month and they were only suitable for a child, and purely a sheet of foam which I would never trust to breath through (think about the particles you are breathing in). They weren't cheap.   So won't use again because of the long wait times and never being sure of qualiity.

    A month isn't long for Wish - usually it's more like 6 weeks. 
    Delivery times are listed when ordering as usually around a month - so if you needed one in a hurry, why order it from the other side of the world? :)

    Ordered some linen clothes - they arrived but they are NOTHING  like the pictures advertised.  When I ordered, I saw the slogan 'if the clothes don't fit, free returns.'  I wanted to return (the ones that have actually arrived, but their website customer service says to take a photo.  Because the tag said medium, they feel they supplied the correct item and they fulfilled order correctly.  So it seems they aren't allowing me to return the items even if they don't fit!  Some baggy linen yoga trousers arrived and the sides of the trousers are open - they aren't even trousers!   Do I have a chance of having my money back if I paid by Paypal?

    It's difficult to do probably because it will take a little effort but research what you buy look for country of manufacture.
    I personally will avoid anything made in China.

    My experience with wish, a Chinese online company who sell a lot of  fake junk so beware.
