Here is what to do: Kindly send an email to their support team ([email protected]) regarding this issue or contact their support team through their website. For every new customer registered from Nigeria, you will need to verify your account by sending an image of the following for verification: Your photo ID with only your name and image shown.

How can I order goods from Wish.com?
It’s very easy to buy goods on Wish.com. The guide on how to shop on Wish.com from Nigeria is just all you need.
Let’s delve right into the step by step Wish buyer’s guide below;
Wish.com Buyer’s Guide: How To Shop On Wish From Nigeria (Step by Step Guide)
Step 1: Create a Wish.com account
Of course like other online shopping sites, the first thing you should do is create your account on the platform. There three ways to create an account but I recommend using the Facebook or Google account creation which automatically create an account in just a single click.
You can get 50% off when you sign up and use the code (cbjgynjx) for your first purchase.
Step 2: Search for products
Browse the site, search by categories or by typing keywords associated with the specific item you are planning to buy.
Step 3: Select Item
Click the item you are buying to be redirected to the product page. Check the product details to see if it conforms to your specifications.
What details would you see on the product page?
- Price: This is the original price per unit of the item you are buying.
- Discount Price: There are instances where the item you are buying is on sale; in that case, this is the price you would pay per unit of the item you choose to buy.
- Colour/Size: This shows the colours and sizes available for you to choose.
- Shipping: This shows the available shipping method to choose from. Prices will vary depending on the shipping company you will prefer.
- Quantity: This is where to place the quantity of your order.
- Total Price: The total amount you will pay for that particular order.
Step 4: Check product reviews and seller’s credibility
One of the most important aspects of online shopping is the product review and ratings. People who already purchased this item must have shared a review, and you as a new buyer ought to check that out before making a verdict if it’s worth your money.
Slowly scroll down the product page to check out the reviews.
Before you add an item to your cart for purchase, I implore that you check store ratings to know how credible the seller is. This is quite necessary to avoid stories that touch.
You can scroll down while still on the product page to see the Store Ratings of the seller before placing an order, make sure to do a background check.
Step 5: Select the shipping method
Choose the shipping method you prefer. There are items which offer free shipping but this would normally take a lot of time before your order will arrive. Or you may opt to choose the method that will cost you extra cost but will take your order delivery faster and delivered at your doorstep. If you opt to choose free shipping normally your items will be delivered to your nearest post office.
Take note: What you paid for only covers the cost of item and shipping. Customs duties would be paid differently depending on your local post office.
Step 6: Add to Wishlist or buy
When you’re done accessing the item to know if you are satisfied with reviews from other shoppers, you can then proceed to add to Wishlist (for those who look to buy more items) or clicking BUY to checkout a single item.
Before proceeding to the next step, remember that Wish.com allows you to apply coupon upon checking out your purchase.
Coupons are discount codes that give a cut on price upon checking out an item. If you are new on Wish.com, you can use this code >> CBJGYNJX to get a 50% discount on your first purchase.
Step 7: Fill Shipping Address
Moving from step 5, you will be presented with a page requesting you to fill in the relevant shipping information. Make sure you enter the right address, telephone number and ZIP code.
Step 8: Fill payment details
On the checkout page, choose your preferred payment option, this could be a credit card to PayPal or others, complete the required details then click Next.
Step 9: Review and Place order
Next, click Place Order, but before placing your order, ensure that you review your order, shipping address and other necessary details before proceeding.
Click Place Order after you have reexamined all the required information.
You can get 50% off when you sign up and use the code (cbjgynjx) for your first purchase.
Step 10: Await shipping
It takes about 5 days for your order to be shipped, patiently wait for the supplier to ship your order; you can also contact Wish support for more information about your item.
Step 11: Keep track of your order
After the seller has shipped your order, Wish would notify you when he item tracking information would be available. Once available, you can track your order. Once you have received the full shipment of your order, inspect all items carefully. Don’t forget to leave a positive or negative review for other prospective buyers.

If you are still facing this, kindly send Wish an email.

Good Evening and thank you for this explanation.

You are very much welcome.
Will I have to go with any ID card at the post office?
I receive most of my deliveries at home. The post office deliveryman would most likely call you to let you know when it’s best to deliver. In the case of delayed delivery, you can visit the post office yourself and yes, go with your ID card just incase.
Will I pay extra charges to d post office close to me after paying for shipment ? And I stay in festac, do I put Festac postal code or zip code ?
Yes, you have to pay the post office, and you have to insert the correct Festac ZIP.

If you don’t have a problem with your account, then there’s no need to verify your account.
Pls I want a contact person or number in Nigeria for wish. I ordered for some items and the address I used will be difficult to trace will l get a call when my orders arrive? And what happens if the call is not through with our epileptic network in Nigeria?
Wish is an American site, hence there is no contact person in Nigeria. You can reach out to them via their support email, you will find it in the post FAQs section.
I ordered for an item mistakenly its already being shipped can’t get a refund pls can i get a refund once it get shipped.
I don’t think so. But you can contact them to know if it’s possible.

Just wait for the stipulated arrival period.

I have been paying N200 or more depending on the item purchased. The postoffice delivers to my doorstep.
Do they bring your ordered goods at your door step?? Or
Yes but the post office here in Naija does that.
I didn’t use the right zip code but I entered the right address. I had tried to contact them and they said it was late as my items had already shipped. Do you think this could make me not to receive my items?

For heavy items like washing machines or goods of those nature will they deliver it at the post office or leave it in Lagos for you to go clear?
I haven’t ordered things this heavy before. But I am certain this will require proper clearing (You can contact The Clearing Agent Limited if you need guidance).
For the verification, did you send your id card to their email address
Sure I did. They only need your full name and photo, you can blur out other information when sending.

I make an order on wish and since 5th of this month when I track the package it keep on saying departed from the airport to the destination country please what does that mean and secondly can I still have any information on that package although the delivery date given to me is on 18 the of December
It means your item is on transit (via air freight) to Nigeria. Just be patient till 18th.

You can use any suitable ATM card for shopping. Make sure it’s not a stolen card before EFCC come after you!
Am having issues with my card zipcode address..please how can I go about that
If I understand you properly, do you mean your shipping address ZIP / postal code? If yes, then simply search for it via Google, for example; I will type “Surulere, Lagos ZIP code” to get zip code(s) for all the streets in that LGA.
I purchased some goods from wish, and after three days I received message from PayPal that my money has been refunded and I didn’t cancell my order. Can you help me out pls

Kindly send an email to their support team ([email protected]) regarding this issues or contact their support through their website, for every new customer registered from Nigeria, you will need to verify your account by sending a copy of your photograph and full name used when registering your account.

Your item can be picked up at the post office nearest to your house. Make sure you enter correctly your ZIP code.
I just ordered some items tonight and I was given free shipping fee from the mobile app…
Does that mean I’ll get my goods delivered to closest post office or I’ll have to pick it from Port at Lagos??? Or will it be delivered like jumia to my personal address (which I filled)???
All of the following. Most times, it gets delivered to the post office while they delegate someone to deliver it to your doorstep with you paying a token to the delivery man.
Oh thanks man 😀
I’m glad I could help.
