Very bad customer service
December 6, 2022

Very bad customer service. They promised to send a charger compatible to UAE but nothing received.
Their terms and conditions for the return and refund have extensive constraints (e.g. They charge 20% of the product price if you return it even sealed). Take home lesson: Do not buy again from this company.

Dear Ismail, Thank you for your review and feedback.

We are sorry that your interaction with our customer service was not as expected. I investigated with them and found out that they offered you the UAE 3-pin cable for your charger but you refused to accept it.

Regarding our returns conditions, it is always evaluated based on the product's condition and the time frame of the return request. When there is any restocking fee it is used to cover the operation cost of the return of the product.

Please feel free to reach us anytime at +971 4 223 1780 or +971 56 33 88 642 during working hours and we will be happy to assist you! You can as well send us an email at support@gear-up.me Have a great day, Zee, Customer Service Manager at Gear-up.me.

Highly recommended online store, especially Maynard, the Customer Support Agent. He knows very well what his doing and he's so helpful.
Even if in some items their prices are high, we still choose to buy from them because they help us choose the best product for us.

I asked to cancel my laptop charger order and get my money back. The support service replied that they do not refund the money for the order, but can only provide a discount on another product. I consider it a violation of consumer rights

A trust worthy site
November 5, 2020

I recently bought a keyboard from here and it was a bit troublesome at first but they had a very good customer service agent named Maynard, he helped me through my purchase. My keyboard arrived with some keys out of the sockets in the box though, but at least it wasn't damaged. My order was received swiftly. Even though the prices here is higher than usual. In the end I got what I wanted.

Fraud
November 21, 2023

I have experienced fraud in dealing with Gear-up. I purchased a Samsung kiosk which comes in a screen + connection box.
What they send is only screen.
Upon raising a complaint about the missing box, they tried saying the price is for screen only. I produced their link through which I made the purchase. Nowhere on they could point out that it's a screen only price. Entire catalogue and link shows picture of screen and connection box.

I would urge buyers to stay away from the fraudster company. I am taking this company legal anyways.

Dear Kartik,

We’re sorry for any confusion caused by your recent purchase with us. We want to clarify that it was never our intention to mislead you or any of our customers. The picture on our website was meant to illustrate the product and we apologize if this was not clear.

We assure you that the price you paid was for the screen alone, which is consistent with its market value. Our goal is to offer fair deals based on accurate market prices. We understand you were expecting both the screen and connection box for the price of the screen, but this was a misunderstanding based on the illustrative photo provided by the manufacturer.

We value your trust and are committed to ensuring our customers clearly understand what they are purchasing. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at +971 4 223 1780 or +971 56 33 88 642, or send an email to support@gear-up.me.

Best regards,

Dear Saeed S,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with your orders and for the delay in our response to this review. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we want to address each of your concerns in a propper manner.

Regarding the shipping delay for the 2 fan products in your order, we truly regret not updating you sooner. This oversight is not in line with the service standards we strive to maintain, and we understand the frustration it caused.

For the Gear Up points, we wish to clarify and assure you that the 81 Gear Up points for your order were credited to your account. Additionally, recognizing the inconvenience you faced with your previous order, we've compensated you with 100 extra Gear Up points. This adjustment reflects our commitment to your satisfaction and to rectifying the oversight.

We understand your disappointment regarding our inability to modify your second order. This decision was aimed at preventing further delays, as changes would necessitate reprocessing. We assure you, such situations are exceptional, and our team is dedicated to meeting our promised delivery timelines.

We hope this experience will not deter you from future purchases. We are eager to offer you the level of service and prompt delivery that you, and all our customers, rightfully expect.

I got my first gaming rig built from Gear-up and it was very important that everything is spot on. These guys made it possible by matching my requirements and specifications. James was very patient and helpful with his suggestions. Delivery was on time and well managed. There's nothing more I could ask for, oh and they offer great after sales service as well.

PC upGREAT!
March 10, 2016

I have upgraded my PC recently and I bought everything from Gear-up.me. Definitely most reliable e-shop in UAE, helpful customer support with European attitude and responsibility.
Delivery was done as promised and all was wrapped in bubble foil to ensure it is protected during shipping. I'm very happy with them and I'll be shopping there again soon. Thumbs up!

I received excellent service from this Dubai based company in providing ne the right computer to allow me to use flight simulator X-Plane 11. Was given different options to chose from. Very good communications throughout and payment, ordering and delivery were easy. Would recommended them for your gaming needs in the UAE and beyond.

A week ago I purchased most of my new PC components form gear-up when suddenly I noticed I mistakenly purchased a wrong Motherboard. But thanks to their outstanding customer service, I got my motherboard replaced with the correct one without hassle and fast. They are very responsive to my emails and they even give me some advice about compatibility and how to do stuffs on my newly built pc. It's an easy 5 star for Gear-Up! Must recommend!

My experience with gear-up has been very positive. I bought a synology NAS from them and there was a fault with it a few months later. Fixing this was covered within Gear-up's 1 year warranty and they were happy to oblige. Since the product could not be fixed, I got an upgraded replacement instead. Though this took more than a month an a half, the customer service staff were very supportive. Overall a good experience.

I'm satisfied with the service and products received, having bought a custom PC as well as peripherals. Though there where some complications, James and team went the extra mile to assemble the PC in office to the specifications and within my time requirements. A special thanks to them, and I will be a returning customer for sure.

I ordered a Gigabyte Gaming 8 which I could not find on any competitors sites (Or my usual suppliers). I thought I would give Gear-up a try and was shocked when the motherboard was delivered two days later. No delivery damage and the board worked like a dream. Well done and you now have a new customer!
