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.

Salve, vivo in Italia e compro spesso dal negozio online gearbest, vasto assortimento di articoli di vario genere. Compro spesso articoli di ecigaret e sono molto forniti. In due ordini ho trovato delle problematiche relative ad articoli incompleti ma il servizio clienti ha risolto sempre la problematica.
Economico, veloci ed efficienti!

Gearbest The Best!
March 7, 2018

Great online shop!
Purchase date: 01 February 2018
Order number: WP**************
Subject: Original Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G
Nickname: Pino C.
I have been using Gearbest for more than three years, an excellent online shopping site both for the incredible value for money of the products, and because there are many products in the catalog of various kinds. Moreover Gearbest gives a further possibility to lower the price using the coupons or using the accumulated points until you get a further 30% discount! In fact my last purchase, a Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G, worth about 33 euros, I bought it at about 22 euros using 574 GB points having a discount of about 10 euros!. Shipments are often free or in any case have a very low cost, for economic objects I use the one without tracking or registered mail and in about a month I always receive the products or I use the Italy Express shipping that in only 10/15 days the product is at home with GLS or Bartolini courier; I also want to point out that the payment is also accepted with PayPal so you have all the advantages on the security that it offers. Is one of the best E-commerce sites in the world I recommend it to everyone because of this I often use it to many of my friends!

Very recommended site!

The knife was delivered quickly, it was packed well, so I got it in perfect condition - the package itself was slightly crushed, but it was the post fault. I am surprised by its quality. There is no problem for him to cut the object, whether it is a rope, tape or other fixing. I liked his appearance. I recommend the shop and the item, there was a small problem when placing the order, but the support quickly solved it.

About the portal (Gearbest.com):
Very competitive prices and good service. I think it is one of the most reliable sites to buy in China.

About the delivery:
Fast delivery and good packiging with track number.

About the purchase:
Original Xiaomi Mi Smart Network Speaker

I am the owner of Sonos Play One, so I knew that the competition for xiaomi would be tough... Even so the speaker behaves great. Great treble and good bass. Multiple connections, wifi, bluetooth, 3.5 jack... Great design, good materials, good construction quality and everything for 1/4 the price of a Sonos Play One! I'm very happy with the item.
I recommend the site and the speaker.

My item took 3 months to arrive and I paid Import Tax to DHL the courier that they used. Item arrived by Fedex but inside the bag was DHL. Now Fedex are demanding Import Tax because either Gearbest did not ship the item in the first place or DHL returned it and they shipped it out again but with another courier but did not tell us any of this. We are now expected to pay twice and Gearbest as usual are doing nothing. After my review on another site I have been given a ticket number by Gearbest.

They are hopeless and as for their Customer Service Team well where do I start?

Avoid these please and to cap it all the item I ordered is a disapointment!

Alışverişleriniz sorunsuz olduğu gibi, herhangi bir yardım gerektiğinde muhakkak yardım ediyorlar. Anlayışlı güzel bir site ve indirim kuponu olduğu zaman en iyi fiyatlara buluyorsunuz istediğiniz ürünü. Firmadan şuana kadar 20 den fazla alışveriş yaptım hepsi çok iyiydi. Birkaç ürün bozuk geldi onunla da hemen ilgilendiler. Umarım hep böyle yardım ederler.

Legal Theft
March 6, 2018

Do not order from this shop. I didn't get my package in more than two months and they can only refund half of the amount I've paid because I haven't purchased shipping insurance.
If you want the parcel to come to you, they ask you to pay extra money for the its "safety". You could simply order from another website instead of paying extra for having your item delivered.

Just have a look on these "lovely" sentences, you can find them on their terms and conditions:
"Any orders that do not have shipping insurance will not be the responsibility of GearBest and the customer takes full liability for their package during the shipping process."

"Both parties agree that, following order dispatch, transportation is the sole responsibility of the third-party logistics company. During this stage, full ownership of the product(s) belongs to the buyer; all associated liability and risks during transportation shall be borne by the buyer."

I call that "LEGAL THEFT"

I am currently trying to get my money back through PayPal, but it's too much hassle, so the easiest thing you can do is to stay away from them.

В магазине Gearbest вы можете купить разные товар, от самых больших и дорогих до самых мелких за 10-20 центов.
Я не первый раз делаю покупки в магазине Gearbest, пока все идет гладко и уверенно. Когда у меня были некоторые трудности с последним заказом, все было решено наилучшим образом, главное - это страховка на более дорогой товар, и проблем никогда не будет, вас всегда будут приветствовать. Цены в магазине иногда очень низкие в продаже, иногда с баллами вы получаете очень хорошее соотношение цены и качества товаров. Мой заказ **************902.

Good service, best prices
March 6, 2018

I have an account on gearbest for 2 years under the name: Asaf Lev HaAri. Purchased few times from gearbest. Last time was on the 6. 11. 17 i purchased a mi note 2 smartphone, order number W**************.

The iten arrived to Israel in 3 weeks. Which is fast. It was packed ok, in original box. Could be better protected.

Communications with customers service is good. They answer within 24 hours everytime. And most of the time they handle the cases excellent.

I got with my phone a us charger and i complained about it to the customer service and they offered to send me an eu charger for free!

On the other hand when i wanted to return a product that wasnt as described it took time to receive an approval. But got it in the end. When you have a problem be persistent and they will give you what you need.

You can earn points which can give discount in next purchases.

Overall this is the best chinese store i know of in the net

Я клиент с России! На gearbest.com покупаю уже второй год, искал в интернете магазин надежный и прочитав много отзывов решил попробовать купит мелочевку что бы оценить магазин. собрали заказ за 4 дня и отправили как я и выбирал не регистрируемой доставкой. Отслеживалось до границы с России, а по территории России нет. получил на руки через месяц, упаковано хорошо. товаром доволен. Раньше покупал на Алиэкспресс но там начали кидать и больше я там не куплю. Я заказывал и тв бокс и телефон проблем не было. Советую магазин к покупке!

Gearbest-The Best
March 6, 2018

Even though I have not written for a while about my experience with chinese shops, today I bring to the forefront another store that I was pleased with. It's about GearBest, a Chinese store mainly focused on mobile phones, tablets, gadgets and accessories. Even if there is a category with fashion and fashion accessories, the store does not excel in this chapter.
Because its offer is extremely low, the prices offered are much better than you meet with the rest of the Chinese traders. I have some orders on the GearBest website and with this article I want to give some information and opinions useful to those who are at the first order or those who do not have enough trust in the store.
Mail delivery is free, regardless of the order value, but you must know that the product will reach you within 45 days. If you want to get it quicker, you can opt for fast courier (DHL or EMS), but you will have to pay another $ 25. Most orders are sent from China, so when you arrive in Romania, you may also need to pay customs duties or VAT (depending on the order value). However, there are stock products on the site in Europe, the store has EU deposits, so packages sent here are exempt from customs duties or VAT.

I already made more than 10 purchases in Gearbest and I have to say it is one of the bests sites of online shopping. All the products I bought have good quality at low price. Although I am from Brazil and the store is located in China, I had no problem with the delivery service. Finally, any questions I had I contacted the support and they answered me quickly. Because of this I'll always buy in Gearbest.
