I always thought of Wish as an AliExpres front, doing drop-shipping at higher prices. Therefore, I've never used it myself. I might be wrong. Are there good reasons for why someone would recommend their loved ones to use Wish over AliExpress?

I've used both. Wish often has free shipping but slightly higher prices (or free product with higher shipping), but occasionally will still be cheaper than AliExpress.
My credit card company (in the UK) has blocked AliExpress but not Wish. This doesn't make me want to use Wish, but maybe it's a reason why others would prefer it over AliExpress.

That's completely outrageous. What could their rationale possibly be?

Too many chargebacks perhaps?
