Well firstly you have to register to even see what is for sale - what kind of a shop is that - not one I want to shop at!

Secondly, Trustpilot today shows 37% reviews as 1* which is the lowest you can give, and doesn't inspire confidence. Some of the reviews are not very flattering.

Wish is fine, it's a legit marketplace and I've used it a few times over the last few years.

If you like those kinda marketplaces also try AliExpress and Gearbest.

Purchased some Makita stuff and some clone batteries so far so good. Impact driver is incredible, fantastic value not sure if it’s a copy. Delivery takes a few weeks but worth it.

There's a lot of cheap crap on there, but there are probably some bargains with careful shopping too. I wouldn't spend more than you can afford to write off as a lesson learned though...

It's a marketplace, rather like ebay or Amazon, but with rather less oversight.

I've ordered a few things on there, and it's a nice surprise when they turn up weeks later when I've forgotten about them.

I'd assume anything branded is fake though, unless it's direct from a supplier you know or can verify elsewhere...

I've bought from there for a few years, not had any problems. Just remember you generally get what you pay for.
