Wish unauthorised payments taken

My daughters placed various orders with you totalling £25.70 but Wish has taken £81.31. This is an absolute disgrace and if a full refund is not made within 24 hours, I will contacting your regulatory body to have Wish suspended from trading because I have now read that this has happened to many other customers.

The orders were placed from 23/4/18 until 30/4/18 on a daily basis.

Wish laptop/cover

I purchased an item that was displayed as a laptop (wishful thinking for £2) but as soon as the payment went through the description changed to a keyboard cover. I've read this is false advertising and would like a refund. I've spoke to a few other people who made the same purchase and I've been informed that the seller has been removed from selling on wish so I couldn't speak directly to them.

Wish necklace that was sold by wish but never delivered

Don't Shop at WISH.com
These guys are crooks and thieves, they take your money right away and charge you for it but they have no control over their suppliers to deliver and their 30 days refund policy is a none existence as they keep emailing you that the item is late until the 30 days time frame is over then they turn around and tell you that you have past the 30 days time frame to won't qualify for refund.

DONT SHOP ON WISH.com OR THEIR SISTER COMPANIES. Spread the words to your family and friends.

Wish xiaomi laptops

I ordered 4 laptops over a month and a half ago. Never received them. Not only can you not call them, but they have a bot that answers their emails. After numerous emails back and forth, it was obvious they were'nt even reading my emails! The bot has nothing but scripted responses. They claim once and a while they have orders dissapear coming from China. Yeah right! My friend also orderd 2 and never got his either! You would thinka refund would be automatic, but hell no. Stay away from this fraudulent site!

Wish items never received causing a debt

In 2015 I ordered some items which were never received. It has just been brought to my attention that This has incurred a debt and late payment fee on Klarna which has now been passed to a debt collection agency. I've emailed wish 3 times to clear this up but no response. I would like this matter resolved ASAP and wish customer service is an absolute joke! I have enclosed a picture of the items which I'm being charged for but never received

Wish r11 max mobile phone

My partner bought a new Android R11 max smartphone and although it looks the part it is false advertising. I am usually quite happy with the products from wish especially for the price we pay I was and especially my stepson was devistated . Rather than go through legal channels and advertising the problem on social media I would like to give wish a chance to respond and refund or replacement for a phone that actually works and has enough internal storage to down load apps... Please email me at [protected]@gmail.com to resolve this and keep us as good customers.

Kind regards

Louis bonwick

If you want to be able to at least use the device if you still have 2g network coverage active in your country, as australia does not so the phone doesn't work, put an SD card into the device, go to settings, then to storage, change the default write disk option to SD card, then tap preferred install location & make sure it is also SD card, reboot the device and now you can install apps,

First of all go to Google play and download terminal emulator,

Now open and type into the terminal "su" without the quotes now type the following and press enter after each these are known spyware apps that need to be frozen immediately,

pm disable com.moblynx.marshmallowgame

Then press enter, and type
pm disable com.svox.pico

Then press enter, then type
pm disable com.andraad.Satvtods

now you should be alright however the launcher (home screen) is also made by an known spyware developer, so I'd suggest to change it looks horrible anyhow,

Download nova launcher from the play store and install it, go the nova settings and then to look and feel, change the icons to marshmallow, looks much better then home buttons select nova launcher as default always, now best wallpaper I've found is the bubbles live wallpaper located in settings, then display, then wallpapers,

After that you want to freeze and disable the stock launcher and only keep nova launcher, so back to the terminal app, type su,

Then type pm disable com.cooee.phenix and your phone will now be usable providing you have 2G network but also safe to use aswell as your details will be now safe pic below of end result and the report is still coming just been trying to make this thing functional

Hi everyone i am a mobile phone technician i have managed to get my hands on one of these R11 max devices, wish needs to take them down immediatly they all have the same corresponding imei and serial numbers also the FCC ID has not been approved and is fake it contains apple code ! on the device info can be found at this link

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/fccid.io/blog/2018/04/02/fcc-id-bcg-e239a-cmiit-id-2015cp3266/amp/

it also has no 3G or 4G network connectivity that is a lie it is a 2G so does not even work on any network in australia, as for storage it has been made to say 32Gb of storage upon hardware scan of the chip it is a nand hynix chip with only 500mb storage that includes the os installed to this which leaves 12kilobytes of system storage and 20mb of app storage, not to mention i have located and frozen apps including the launcher as they are made by a known spyware developer, something is also attaching itself to the password manager, i am currently compiling a report these are only some of the problems i will upload it in document form in a few days time with my full finding,

Replying to comment of EmiIlieva

Pls check my 2nd comment below and you will have some use at least out of your R11 max providing you have 2G network coverage in your area as this device is not 3G as it has no 3G radios only 2G radios but with a 3G modem installed,

When using the terminal commands use only 1 space between each word except for the com.?.? These must have the . In them :) also disable this one also com.andraad.Satvtods

The nova launcher with bubbles wallpaper will look so much better than what it did see my below picture of the end result of what I have mentioned :)

The 32GB is a lie, it uses a 512mb Nand flash chip,

Go to the dialer, dial in ☆#☆#3646633#☆#☆, this is MTK engineering mode, swipe left twice to hardware, scroll down to memory and tap it, then tap Nand flash, you will see the true size of the chip, with the OS installed on top there is less than 30mb of storage for apps and downloads and only 12Kb of system storage for app updates, if you want to network unlock the device also, go back to the first screen and scroll to the bottom tap SIMME lock and permanent unlock them all for free,

Also the phone isn't MT6589 is an old 2g network MT6572 with a 3g modem installed, and the OS isnt 5.1 it's old 4.4.2 kitkat, to check

turn the phone off and hold these 2 buttons at the same time until the screen goes black and you see Chinese writing,

Power
Volume down,

From the chinese options select the 2nd last option and you will see, to exit press volume up and then select the last Chinese option it will reboot,

If you want to be able to at least use the device if you still have 2g network coverage active in your country, as australia does not so the phone doesn't work, put an SD card into the device, go to settings, then to storage, change the default write disk option to SD card, then tap preferred install location & make sure it is also SD card, reboot the device and now you can install apps,
