I recently have released several articles about the wish, and many of you have asked if is the wish app legit or not. The simple answer is yes. I have, in total, ordered over 520+ items from the wish app. And out of those, I made dispute maybe 15-20 times. It was either due to the item was not working properly or because I misread the description. But every time I made a dispute, I just uploaded the photo proofs, and within a few days, I have received my money back.
99% of the time, when someone calls out that the wish app is a scam, it is due to their mistake. Don’t take me wrong, and I mess up even my self. What I mean by this is that I sometimes forget to do my due diligence before ordering. Because occasionally, sellers will post as the primary photo something else than they are selling. Or put in a title, for example, “iPhone X 256gb,” but in the description, you will find out that you will only receive a 1x iPhone X glass shield protector.
My advice is before the order is always to check, not just the title, but also read a description and look for what the package includes! That is a must. Also, it is a good practice to look at all the photos and then look at even for reviews by other users for this particular product. Also, I will highly suggest you read this post before ordering.
How to find out if the product on wish app is legit or not, step by step:
First search for your item, in this example we are searching for “4g smartphone”, which should be an android phone with 4g connection
Here we can see that the seller is mentioning in the main photo and also in the title of this product that this is a 4g smartphone.
After scrolling down as the arrow suggested in the last photo, you should see something like this, item specification, description, buyer guarantee, and shipping information. The description is what is essential for us, so click on “Description.”
This is a detailed description of the phone from the seller. You can see that the best connection that this phone is offering is 3g. After finding this out, you could say that the wish app is not legit and that they are scammers. The truth is that only one who could be called out as a scam artist is the seller. But at the end of the day, he has that mentioned in the description. I know it is deceptive, but it is kind of like fake thumbnails, aka clickbait on youtube.
After you scroll back up, you should be able to see on the upper right something like product reviews. I highly recommend to go there and find out what other people have to say about the product and possible to check their videos and photos. The good thing is that only the ones who purchased the item can post something there!
If you choose the circled button, you will be able to see only reviews that have either video or photo or both. I do this whenever I am ordering and ever since that I have not been scammed.
Is wish app scam? Final verdict
No wish app is not a scam. Camon, it is a top 10 app in the shopping category both on iTunes and googles play for the last few years. This company has been around for more than eight years now. Are all sellers on wish app good? No, they are not. But that is not a wish’s fault. And you don’t have to be worried, and if you follow my steps before ordering, you will be fine.
What if I get scammed on a wish?
There is no reason to be worried. If you receive a broken or wrong item, or you don’t receive your order at all, you will receive your money back from the wish, and there is also a good chance that the seller who did that so you won’t be able to sell on wish app anymore.
I hope that after reading this article, you have changed your mind, and now you can order without any stress from the wish app. I hope that I have posted enough evidence that the wish app is legit. Because there is no reason why you should not be ordering cheap items from wish and saving money :), if you want to be secured, get a different debit card for wish shopping or pay via PayPal. And load your funds on PayPal and then remove your bank account from PayPal.
