VICTORIA – The BC Health department has issued a warning to citizens regarding the dangers of ordering products from e-commerce marketplace Wish.com.
The BC Health department recently ordered $7 million worth of masks on the Wish.com platform. When the first shipment arrived 6 weeks after ordering, they were misshapen Chinese KN95 masks with a Pokemon design and distinct hot dog odour. The second shipment is not expected for another 80 weeks by which time the province is expecting to have most citizens vaccinated. An insider said that they warned the ministry not to buy off of Wish.com after they experienced a body pillow nightmare but their warnings went unheeded.
