I discovered Gearbest through a Flashlight forum wherein I am a member. Since the online store was relatively new, I was reluctant at first to make a major purchase despite their very reasonable prices which can be lower than other established online stores.
To test the waters I ordered a very very cheap Credit Card sized pocket light which I was very curious about. Since the price was very low, I did not mind my order for a while since I did not know Gearbest that well yet and I expected that my order will be lost somewhere like what happened on some of my online purchases from other stores before.
When my order suddenly arrived, I realized that I did the right decision of buying from Gearbest. The light that I got was one of a kind - nobody will ever expect that something this thin can emit something. I can also carry the light practically wherever I go because being credit card sized, its fits snugly inside my wallet. Sure its beam is not strong enough to get me some serious lumens but it is bright enough to be seen in the dark - and this can spell a big difference when facing emergencies.
I had two more orders made - this time more valuable items - and my items arrived between 1 to two months. After that I had six more orders. All orders arrived except for one, a Convoy X3, which was lost in transit and GearBest sent me a XinTD X3 after paying half of its price, which was fine with me. The shipping this time, unfortunately, took between 2 to 3 and a half months.
All in all GearBest is fine. It had some problems along the way and have caused some inconvenience, but I'm happy with the products that I got.
