I've only used Gearbest a few times but so far they've always been very good and I haven't had a single complaint about a product.
The reason I'm rating it a 4 star and not 5 is mainly for 2 reasons.
One, there is room for improvement. Even though they sometimes have excellent deals, I do find stuff on other sites with a similar service/handling of orders quite a bit cheaper. Not always, but often enough for me to shop around and compare prices.
The other thing is that I really like the feeling of being cared for, getting enough personal attention. A lot of (mostly but not always smaller) shops do this, compare it to a B&M store knowing their customers' needs, they know them by name, etc. I've worked in customer service and was trained to go the extra mile. Gearbest doesn't really give me that impression but that doesn't mean they have specific shortcomings.
I've heard many bad stories about Gearbest but I've always been content and I always received the product that I was looking for in a timely manner. I never had to rely on customer support so I can't rate them on it.
I usually use Paypal or CC to pay online, never had an issue with them.
Zamawiam na Gearbest najczęściej w momencie dużych obniżek cenowych, kiedy w innych sklepach ceny są wysokie, a tu jest promocja na dany produkt. Kupiłem czujnik temperatury i wilgotności wraz z innymi produktami Aqara i jestem zadowolony i z produktu i z realizacji zamówienia przez sklepi Gearbest.

I have purchased twice, and my exprerience so far is quite positive. The order was shipped promptly with fast delivery. The items were as described.
Very good shop, they ship fast, I asked customer service because a doubt with a product and they resolve it fast. Perfect
I was introduced to Gearbest a really long time ago, and back then I was rather skeptical. But now? I have pretty much familiarized myself with the website, and I must say, it is impressive.
It definitely made a name for itself. Offering quick shipping, great customer support and an endless variety of products!
10/10!
It is without doubt the best website for a safe and quality shopping experience. From the quality of the products, to the after sale support (in case something happens).
Answer: Some people will get their products, some will not. Some will get what they expected and some will not. I got my products but one was not what they promised and one broke after a few seconds of use. They still continue to use wrong information on their website even though they admitted to me that it is not correct. I wrote a review on their web site about the product that broke after a few seconds of use and they blocked it so it still looks like the product only has positive reviews. You can see pictures and read more on my own web site that I created for telling my experience about GearBest: http://GearBestreview.azurewebsites.net
Answer: Dont really matter mate, regardless, what they do if does not arrive, they will not refund, they offer to resend at your cost. Then you do Paypal dispute, they refuse to refund unless you close the case, if you close the case, Paypal will not help. In my circumstances Paypal decided in my favour and refunded, but dragged on, avoid this company in future, Bangood better
Answer: Dear Iain, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.gearbest.com/ Our colleague will reply you in 24 hours! We are sorry that the live chart is some buzy, as many people contact over the world. So that may need customers to wait a little linger for their turn. Gearbest.com
Answer: Yes Adam, did you pay with PayPal? If Then contact PayPal and claim your money back and stat away from gearbest, they lied to me and now i an trying to get my 100 dollars back. There is a reason that they are NOT on eBay... So my advice to everyone is to stay far away from this socalled Company... No mail, no adress, no phone?
Answer: They are legit, just ridiculously slow in shipping. I waited 1.5 months for my "rush" order. It was shipped out in multiple pacakges and arrived at different times.
Answer: Same here, after 3months of waiting for my order and many conversations in an email ticket which went on for 1month they promised me to refund me via paypal. No refund and nothing heard from them since almost 2weeks. Keep writing here people, I hope lotz of people read it and gearbest goes bankrupt very soon
Answer: You can try the Better Business Bureau like I did however they never responded to them either, they did respond to the tickets I opened up on their site but the replies weren't of much use and not very helpful.
Answer: I wouldn't. It's been three months and I still don't have my order and their customer service is terrible. They just keep telling tryouts to wait longer.
Answer: I would advise you to stear clear. If the site does not let you order with free shipping then you have dodged a bullet. I got free shipping but the product was damaged an only fit for resting your cup on they offered a refund less the first shipping that was ment to be free or a replacement. As it cost 25 pounds to send back to resolve the matter I chose to except the replacement it came and was just as bad a tablet as the first. Take my advice and run a mile. Hope this gives you an idea what the company is like. Run run run a mile mate.
