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!
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.
They reply to our each and every questions without any hesitate.
And they allow us to review each of their reply, if you satisfied with them.

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!
Good prices, experienced sellers, fast shipping, responcive support which can help your in every situation.
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.
Son zamanlarda en sevdiğim ve en çok kullandığım alışveris sitesi oldu. Kesinlikle çok güvenilir ve kaliteli orijinal ürünler satıyor. Herkes kesinlikle kullanmalı
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.
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!
I have very good experiance with Gearbest.com. Recently I bought 2 phones. The order was completed very fast, shipping was also very fast and FREE. I really recommend the shop so far, I was not disappointed. I will definitely use the future of their services
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.
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.
