Shopping Portal I didn't know - Wish - Strappado - 30 Dec 2020 Looks Chinese, lots of latex and one jacket that I bought: https://www.wish.com/product/5b12224ffe855020fac59fa1?share=web It arrived today, so here a short review. ![]() I have seen this jacket on amazon for a while, but when I tried to order it, I got the message, that the seller doesn't accept to trade with me... odd. Well, then I found it at Wish, ordered it and got it, after about three weeks. It came in a zipper bag, strong plastic, definitely for long-term storeage. In the bag was a piece of paper with the following text: "Do not use water soaked clothes within 2 weeks, Because our clothes are all handmade, the glue is not completely solidified, if you really want to use, please bask in the sun about 2-3 days. Then wipe the surface with alcohol or water." This is noteworthy, because I remember the typical expectations, latex garments from china fall apart after a very short time. Perhaps, this is an explanation. The size is as expected, arms a tad short, but that's okay. The material is not chlorinated, so I had to powder it with talcum. I was a bit suspicious about the functionality of the drawstring for the hood, and I was right. It doesn't move at the moment. I think, it needs some talkum as well, but it will be tricky to get it in place.. I checked all seams and found a spot at the front pocket, where a corner is lose, about 1 cm length. and the top of the zipper is not glued into the collar on one side, about 2 cm. All other seams are fine. This is not a death sentence, but not hight quality either. I will write the seller and see, if I get a reply. Apart from that, as mentioned, tons of stuff, and prices are moderate. ps: I just noticed, that the design of the drawstring is not exactly as on the picture. My jacket has a seam around the rim of the hood, where the string is embedded, and it comes out at the zipper. No eylets, string stopper or anything. RE: Shopping Portal I didn't know - Wish - Like Ra - 31 Dec 2020 Difference between Aliexpress and Wish: Quote:1. The AliExpress commission rate is only 0.05, meaning that the seller has to pay only 5% for each transaction. Wish.com is a bit less friendly — it charges a 10% commission for every purchase, which is twice as big as the AliExpress’s rate. Some sellers working at both platforms at the same time accept this way of things and don’t raise the price for Wish’s visitors, but most of them are of the opinion that the one who has to pay for the higher commission is the buyer. They share the burden with you on both platforms, but on AliExpress it’s a bit lower. TL;DR: Same sellers, same manufacturers, but Aliexpress is much bigger and cheaper. Also, I see lots of bad reviews of Wish. The general consensus - use Ali. RE: Shopping Portal I didn't know - Wish - ltxrob - 31 Dec 2020 ive used wish a few times for kinky and non kinky purchases... so far all but one have been fine. The one that went wrong, the parcel left on time... went on a big chinese road trip and then was returned to vendor without ever leaving the country. I was however able to get a full refund, raised a few support tickets and followed the instructions and all was good!
