Here’s what consumers have asked with answers from Gearbest staff and previous consumers.
It's Crazy this. Now I get info that they will prepare the packing and it takes 1-3 days. Dear customer, Thanks for your reply. We will arrange the shipment soon and send the order to the address you requested, and give you the tracking NO. In a couple of days. Please check your account for more details. And after few hours I get this: Dear, Thank you very much for your recent message. We are extremely sorry for not replying your ticket timely. We are so sorry to tell you that item your ordered is back order at the moment. But then I order they had 21 Item in stock!
Basically, you're doom if not pay via Paypal, honestly they really don't ship anything other than their photo-shopped picture claim that's your parcel. If you paid extra $2.50 they will generate you a random "Untraceable" post tracking number, if I'm the only one I must be very lucky. Check other forums to see a group buy then group appeal with Paypal for this GearBless.
Because they ship from China, shipping time is considerably longer. I would suggest ordering from a company inside the US. Gearbest also does have some issues and you should be reluctant to order from them.
They can then drag it out and you wont be able to get your money back, they will just keep saying it is in transit wait another 30 days or what ever
The site itself was known to be hacked years ago, but you can use safe channels like Paypal for payment
