I was a "Wishaholic." I ordered so many cheap things. Then around the time of Mother's Day or Memorial Day (I do remember it was a holiday of some sort), they started adding free items.

I sign in with Google. For a while, it worked. Everything on the Wish app worked. But it started blocking me out. After several attempts, I set up another account; this time, by direct user name and password. But it didn't have my shopping history, so I retried with Google. I kept getting a "(403)" message. I discovered Google didn't have "allow less secure sites" checked, so I checked it, and all was fine again. Then when I updated the last app, it would crash every time I tried to view my cart. EVERY time. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Then it wouldn't let me sign in with Google. I rechecked my preferences, and everything was fine with Google. But I still couldn't get in. So I signed in with the second account I created, but I still couldn't access the cart without crashing. I'm not sure if it's an issue with older devices or older iOS versions. But I wish I hadn't updated.

Another annoyance with this is they won't accept PayPal payments. I don't trust them. I already got a warning from Google (the first time I had sign in problems), saying someone in DC tried accessing it through Google. I'm very leery about signing in directly to Wish without a "buffer" (or possible false security login) like Google.

Rarely have I been disappointed with the purchases. There were a few items that arrived broken or ill advertised (wrong color, size, or missing piece), and one item never arrived at all. But that item was gladly reimbursed. But for the most part, I've been very satisfied; hence the disappointment. But maybe it's for the best. I ordered too many "free with $3 shipping and handling" items that really add up. It's like a cyber thrift store without the moldy smell, flattened fungus ridden shoes and slightly stained underwater hanging in the back. And what I really want from Wish now is still sitting in my inaccessible cart. I tried going back to Amazon, but everything seems so expensive with them now. I'm not going back to thrift stores.
