“They advertise merchandise at really low prices. However, when you put the merchandise in your cart, that is not the price at all and the shipping costs/extraneous fees are very high.”

Wish was reported to the Deceptive Design Tip Line over its advertised prices. According to the report, merchandise is advertised at very low prices, but once an item is placed in the cart that is not the actual price, with the shipping costs and other extra fees being very high.
