Gearbest Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by widespread customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from persistent issues with order fulfillment, delays, and inadequate customer support. Many customers report difficulties in receiving refunds, with some waiting over a year without resolution. While a minority of reviews highlight positive experiences regarding product quality and timely delivery, these instances are overshadowed by the overwhelming negative feedback. Overall, the sentiment reflects a lack of reliability and transparency, leading to a recommendation for potential buyers to exercise caution when considering purchases from this company.

Scam and false reviews
November 15, 2015

Its obvious that most of these 5 star reviews are false when there are almost the same amount of 1 star reviews and nothing in-between. I have made hundreds of orders from Chinese based company's ether shipped from china or from Europe based stores and i have had overall good experiences and not had any major problems. First time i order from Gearbest (Europe store) my £50 camera goes missing in the post and after months of trying to sort it out i have given up. Might be good for low value items but i coud have bought the camera for £4 more new on ebay uk and would have had this sorted in no time.

Gearbest is a good store. The prices are low and the service is very good. I've ordered several times from this shop and every time the goods were well-packed and the delivery time was fast. I've already recommended Gearbest to my friends and colleagues and would recommend it to everyone.

Gearbest just refunds and cancels your order and don't even write why when you order about USD 10 and use your collected points to reduce the price, so when you think - "yes, I can use my points", then think again.

Thankfully i cancelled my credit card so that gear best couldn't use my information to their advantage. This website is fake and just horrible. Lily is the only person on that website who "responds" to our complaints, but there is a problem... ALL OF THE MESSAGES ARE AUTOMATED AND SAY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I am FURIOUS with this "company" and will report this and get the website TAKEN DOWN!

Dear Aaron,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We always look forward to hearing from our valued customers.

Let me start by apologizing personally for your experience. We really want to work with you to make this right.

We are NOT a con. We really do not need to risk our reputation over a single order. Nevertheless, we respect your opinion. It will be nice if you can respect the opinions of other reviewers too because it is not fair to accuse other honest reviewers of being liars.

Again, we apologize for your shopping experience which was clearly not up not up to your expectations. We will work harder to minimize the possibility of a recurrence.

We would be grateful if you could please continue your communication with us in your support ticket(s), so that we can work together to reach an acceptable solution. We are committed to assisting every customer at any time. Many thanks.

Usally good
November 9, 2015

I have bought several items from Gearbest. They arrive after 1 month, a long wait but according to their promise. One of the items was partially defective - 1 out of six functions did not work. I entered a ticket and they resend a good one to me after another month. I appreciate that very much. Other products are ok for the price paid. The last item I ordered di not arrive after 2 months and I put in a ticket. They promise to resend it. I am waiting to see the solution and am quite confident that they keep their promise. Will write to let others know later.

Good Website
November 9, 2015

I ordered a Elephone 8000 and I got it after a short period of time without any problems. The quality of the Handy is just how the description said. And the prize of the product for that? It is a dream to get a Smartphone like that for a Prize like that. The Power of the CPU, the design, the battery power and everything else of the handy is just perfect. I have no problems and I'm very lucky with this smartphone!

I asked the support a few times and everytime I got after a short time a very nice and polite answer, that was also very helpful. There were all informations that I asked for."

Lowest prices
November 9, 2015

You wont find better prizes... and what they offer, is what you get. There is a small issue in the time they ship the package, usually takes a couple of days more that they offer, but if your not in a hurry, this is the best place to buy. They use DHL as courrier that usually has the better delivery times from China to any place in the world, and in my particular case. Mexico, the best one in passing your package throw customs, less than a day, and they usually takes the invoice as reference to tax your product.

STAY AWAY!
November 9, 2015

I ordered and paid for a DOOGEE F3 PRO phone in early September with promise it would ship out in 6-7 days. After a month or more of empty promises they7 told me it was no longer in stock. I then chose a similar second choice phone for slightly more money. They asked for the difference in price to be paid and stated it would be in stock SOON. After a few more ignored e-mails I decided the writing was on the wall and settled for a poor third choice mainly because it stated it was in stock in the EURO warehouse. This did arrive fairly promptly but now nearly two months after my initial order. This phone is not brilliant (TCL 3S).

I will never use Gearbest again and would not recommend you do either!
