Wish

Wish is an American e-commerce marketplace platform that facilitates transactions between sellers and buyers. Wish was founded in July 4, 2010 by Piotr Szulczewski and Danny Zhang. It has gained a reputation of being a shopping website for cheap and inferior products from China. It is still often mocked and parodied to this day, with famous example being Donut Media, an automotive YouTube channel.

Why We Don't Wish for Crap from This Site

 * 1) Its poor curation allows many listings of counterfeit and scam items for cheap, such as fake 1TB USB Drives, knockoff smartphones, counterfeit jewelry, and mainly stuff made in China.
 * 2) False advertising is also common. If it is too good to be true for cheap, then it's going to be modified to make it look like it has those specs. Here are some examples:
 * 3) Flash drives that are advertised with a large capacity such as 1TB, but in reality, it is flash drive with a much smaller capacity and the controller is programmed to spoof the capacity. Resulting in the extra files to be corrupted, as it is basically overwriting the data over the ones that are actually in the flash drive.
 * 4) Completely misleading listings, where the actual product is not the listed product.
 * 5) To add insult to injury, its poor customer service makes it difficult to return items despite having a return policy.
 * 6) There are sometimes listings of illegal items such as weapons.
 * 7) You cannot enter the website without registering or signing into your account.
 * 8) As sellers are able to add markdown prices, this allows them to make clickbaity listings with a "discount" which makes users think they are getting a good deal.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Many of the items are pretty cheap to buy. Sometimes there are virtually free stuff that only costs shipping.

Trivia

 * This website summoned the "When you order X from Wish." meme.
