Incoming Strat Neck from Wish.com

[jhull54]

@jhull54 did you ever get your neck? I always thought 'Wish' was a scam.

Still waiting on it. It's supposedly going to be here by the 19th. Not holding my breath. I ordered some nut files from them around the same time and they're scheduled to be here by the 14th.

Literally a slow boat from China.

Keep ups posted. I am interested in speed, quality, reliability of Wish.

Just an update--Wish has pushed the delivery of this neck to September 7th, due to "delays caused by COVID-19".

That sucks.

Fortunately, it's not a 911 for me, but heads up that Wish is not Amazon.

Or a row boat from China.

I had to wait a long time for some bike parts from AliExpress, but they did come. Even better, they actually seem decent.

My wife bought me some little trinket from wish as part of my anniversary present (in April). It came last Thursday. Shipping is fluid these days...

I would anticipate potential for glitches on any Allparts necks resupplying, as Nagano Prefecture has had massive flooding recently. Sounded like a big regional catastrophe.

Just an update on this. Wish credited me the shipping on this item that was "returned to shipper" due to prohibited content, or some BS. I will request a refund in the next 10 days or so.

Has not been a pleasant experience.

EDIT--I *did* receive the files I ordered a few weeks ago.

my son ordered some shoes for like $16, and they were supposed to be exact replicas of some expensive Yeezys or something. What he got were socks with non skid bottoms

[jhull54]

Last update. Requested refund for full amount, and Wish took care of it immediately.

PITA, but first bad experience with them, and really more inconvenience.

My wife got some pet jackets and things and my niece gets jewelry from wish. They've done ok but that's probably as high tech or crafted as you should expect. They keep advertising thatcooletched tele bridge plate to me that's tempting but I think it was too expensive.

You could also be wishing you'll ever get your neck. Be ready to submit a claim with your CC to get your money back when it never shows up.

Actually I've ordered several items from wish in the past year and the 2 lessons I've learned are vital, would be

1. Examine everything in the ad and description and reviews. Majority of yhecreviews are pointless, because they are typically " got here 3 days faster than expected". Or my favorites "haven't unpacked it yet but got here really quick" however the ones that do post photos are a lot of help to show what you're actually getting

2. The us takes longer than anywhere else in nthe world for delivery. Plus tracking is pointless. Average ship time for fl. Is 6 weeks. You can find out w your own reading and research but typically you pay as much in shipping or more than you do for the item

3. Mn any items are NOT child friendly. My son (14) is into anime, they have some amazingly accurate pvc redfigures that are about 30% less than retail. BUT most are very anatomically accurate and several advertise a "free gift" with the order. The gift is a knockoff fleshlight.

However the Chinese gov is trying to improve things. Most sellers are deathly afraid of negative reviews. I ordered an mp3 player that said it had a us psu. I got the uk version. I sent them an email and very nicely said "item looks great, would love to give you a 5 star rating but without a psu I can't use it" they 'overnightedme one's that arrived in less than a week.

Do a search on why that's so important to them and you will find most sellers very accommodating.

I ordered a cheap neck so I had something to reference that I could tear down for my scratch build.

It arrived fine, and actually isn't 'that' bad,

Has been useful for taking dimensions from, and I can leave it in the garage, and not be worried about it,

I could have torn down one of my current guitars, but then I'd have setup and be concerned about a good neck being out in the cold!

If you go in eyes open, and don't expect a Rolex for $4, then you're all good

I've bought a "Rolex" or two for $20 each.
Not a bad deal really because they had Seiko movements in them
I've never seen a new Seiko that cheap.

Don't get me started on watches, I have a few . . . .

Wish they were $20 each!

I do understand, this one is all solid gold:

Too heavy to wear, bloody uncomfortable.

Looks like an Oyster perpetual on a jubilee?

Couldn't buy myself a Rolex, too much money, and I'm unlikely to ever have one as the purchase process is so goddamn awful with that organisation, there's no way my better half would go through it!

I much prefer their sister brand Tudor, incredible quality for a much more sensible price and none of the purchase process BS!!
