Buyer Beware of the Wish Website, this Wish website is a SCAM. Will steal your money and never send you the product!
I am very careful when I buy from websites by seeking reviews, but because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I rushed into placing an order of toilet paper on the Wish website, which was urgently needed at the office where I work.
Wish advertised 1 box of 48 paper roll for $29/Box, plus shipping $9.00, Total $38/box.
I placed an order on April 11 for 3 boxes with an expected delivery April 25. We have a small office of 10 people; 3 boxes would last us about 3 months.
Next day, Sunday, April 12, I got an email from Wish website with tracking # UPS 1ZW22A810378941474 that their Store: Robert Pollard in Kentucky had shipped the order to Florida with an ETA of April 25.
Strangely, 3 days later, on Wednesday April 15 at 1:30 PM 04/15/2020 1:35 P.M, I got an email from Wish website that the order had been delivered to our Tampa office. There is no way, you can ship on a Sunday and 3 days later, you get the order. That was the first Red flag!!
We have a small office, with just one door, where all deliveries are made, during the day the office is always open, I can see the area from my desk. I got up to see if they had delivered somewhere else, but there was nothing.
I checked the UPS website with that tracking number and requested a Proof of Delivery (POD), which I am attaching. It turns out, the Tracking number is a fake POD, it does have the tracking number Wish website provided, 1ZW22A810378941474, I realize, the ext. line shows the weight as 1.2 Lbs., the weight of each box with 48 rolls of toilet paper is 19 lbs., 3 boxes are 57 lbs.
Further down in the POD, you can read that Wish left the goods at “Locker”, well we don’t have a “Locker” in the office, but even if we did, you could not possibly fit 3 boxes each with 48 rolls, for a total of 144 rolls into a locker.
By now I realize, I have been scammed by the Wish Website.
I called UPS, they told me to open a claim as “damaged” product, and by “damage” it meant, all products were missing. UPS confirmed they could not possibly have delivered 3 boxes with a weight of 1.2 lbs. and into any locker. UPS backed my claim, but told me that I should contact “Amazon” since the account that originated the tracking # was an Amazon account. I told UPS, this was an order from the Wish Website, they told me that they used an Amazon account #.
I have been emailed Wish multiple times in reference to this order, what they said was, you placed an order, the order was delivered, end of story, check our policies.
They don’t want to hear that the POD is fake, that the weight of the order is 1.2 lbs., or that it was delivered to a Locker as opposed to an office address.
To make a long story short, the Wish website is using clever tools to make it look as though they shipped the goods with a tracking number and that the product was delivered, when in fact, you will never get the product, and even using fake UPS tracking numbers using “Amazon” accounts.
Buyer Beware - this Wish website is a SCAM – Wish takes your money and never delivers the product, but it sends you a fake tracking number, but no product.
