I just ordered from www.wish.com a 48 led ring light from andoer. It will take a month to get it, just wondering if anybody else has ordered from wish.

Amazon has it for $30 and you’d get it in 10 days. A little late now to be asking about Wish.

Did you research the company before you ordered? I just Googled them, and I don't think I would order from them.

Your topic is a bit confusing: first you talk about a ring flash for $28.00 and then you said you ordered a ring light from wish.com. There is a big difference between the two units depending on your application: do you wish to freeze motion or simply illuminate the subject with a continuos light source. The complexity of the ring flash--gas tubes, triggering circuitry and capacitor discharge bank--defines its price where it is normally much higher.

I bought an item on wish about 3 month ago and it took about 5 weeks to arrive. Other then that it was fine but they were just Drexel bits. The other thing is that the prices were cheap and the shipping expensive. If you find it on amazon prime it’s about the same total price and you get it fast with no issue about a return

About 6 months ago I ordered something from Wish. Never received it. It was only $3 so not worth my time or energy to fight over it, but I put Wish on my “never again” list.

As it happens I bought this Neewer ring flash just last week from Amazon;

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JO64MY6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought it with two other items that would be delivered April 15 but the light wouldn't be delivered until May 3. When the package showed up midday last Wednesday the ring light was in it, 18 days early! Woohooo Amazon! Package was perfect and so was the light. It was more money, though.
Total for light was $30.29.

It looks like an unregulated marketplace for third party sellers. With such long shipping times, I suspect a lot comes from China.
It could also be that the companies that sell on Wish drop ship and do not make their orders until they have a large number of orders from wish customers.

Regardless, I will not buy from them.
Good luck.

But any way it's a LED ring light and not a flash.

I don't know about this brand but some time ago I ordered an inexpensive ring light. It was almost useless. Ended up tossing it.

From the appearance, I would say it's a Chinese site.

"I wish I had ordered from someone else."

Exactly.... I got one of those LED Ring lights... It now sits, collecting dust. It isn't able to stop the motion of my subjects as it's "flash" duration is only about 1/200th of a sec.

Almost all their products come from China, and some suspect made cheaply in sweatshops.
