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.

Before using GearBest I was using Amazon as online purchasing medium. However, the range of items available on Amazon is also limited.
Anyways i made my first purchase and got my self a new Jijia 8010 Men Mechanical Watch. At first I was really nervous that I could receive a watch in non working condition but everything went fine, the shipment time was fast, the product arrived in great conditions, overall the experience was great, since that I have made a lot more orders from the site.
My rating on GearBest is 10/10 would buy again in GearBest!
I made many orders here and always all came in good condition and well packed. I like here all: prices, deals, points, customer support. I will recommend it to my friends.And now waiting for my orders)
Maybe its just my back luck. Ordered a ThiEye T5E action camera from Gearbest and received a defect unit (couldnt record sound) so clearly their QC/QA process isnt perfect.
GB customer support initially requested me to send an evidence video clip (to prove no sound could be recorded) with file size below 2M. They have no idea about the file size of HD video camera and clearly they dont understand the product they are selling, maybe due to poor product training.
With my complaint they then offered me RMA but sent me two different RMA numbers (one of them is correct) and the return address is a personal contact in Shenzhen China. Multiple reviews in TrustPilot.com are related to never-received RMA (lost?) incidents that scared me. I finally decided to keep the partially working device and save the hassle (post back the device) and the risk to return it. I then rejected GBs offering of $20-30 refund as it wont compensate my upset and actually I am blaming only myself for making the wrong decision (buying from GB).
GB might be a place to buy gadget with competitive price but people need to be aware of the potential risks (defect units and less optimal customer services and troublesome RMA/Repair process) especially if you are located far away from Shenzhen, China.
I like the products that I bought, very fast shipping and the products was perfect. First I bought a Smartwatch #N1 there, and I like it very much, the price was awesome. Then I bought a case for my Nintendo Switch, and it was very nice, I really needed a case for my switch, and it arrived earlyer than I expect
A loja é atenciosa, a entrega foi rápida, produto de qualidade, recomendo a todos que estão na duvida.
Excellent communication: prompt and polite responsiveness. Quality products for reasonable price. Comfortable and user friendly website.
DO NOT ORDER! I ask to cancel my order the next day and before it was shipped. They didn't. Now they expect me to pay custom fees and sent it back! Unbelievable!
I've made about 15 orders with Gearbest so far and never had any bad experience with them. Shipment always on time and fast. Product Quality is very good. The support respond quickly and provide valuable information if needed.
I love the user panel where everything is in place, so that buying and checking orders is a fun thing to do.
I'm buying goods in Gearbest since 2015. The goods are packed and shipped quickly. The parcels are sealed and packed securely. Never a parcel did not come damaged. Parcels arrive within a month. The last parcel reached me in 13 days! All I bought was good quality. At first I was afraid and bought cheap goods. Now I'm not afraid to order phones. Good store!
Very good products, and fast and good customer support team! Safe site, I recommend to use it! There are a lot of good products, I love this site! There are a lot of good discount!
I fell in love with him last year. I ordered several products that struck me with their quick delivery. Problems I have never met. And the timbre was never blocked
"I have bought items from GearBest for many years (probably more than 200 items) and have no problems (kind staff of GearBest were at service for any issue). All items were in good condition and delivery was fast. My last purchase (Sept 8,2019, order no. **************090) was Xiaomi Pro 300M WiFi Router Amplifier Repeater Signal Cover Expansion Router - black and I am using it to write this review. This is my experience and I would like to share it."
They always answer my tickets, and resend or refund me when my parcel didn't come in the correct time.
The site it's very easy to navigate. The prices it's extremely competitives, the quality of the products is very good.
I am very satisfied to have discovered this e-commerce site for several reason: there are a lot of products at very little price, lots discounts, good quality, the customer service is very helpful. These items are the same that you can find on ebay or amazon but the difference is the price! The shipping is very advantageous and fast: with a few extra euros you can choose delivery by courier (waiting for 10-15 days) that is free for orders over 40. Additionally each purchase gives one point per every $ spent that allows you to receive discounts in next orders (50 points = $ 1). Very satisfied, 5 stars!
A technology site that gives you several ways to buy and also several ways to send the products to the destination.
In addition to the above mentioned they make you discounts for buying with your mobile application.
I've bought a couple of times at this store and the prices are really good. And even you still find flash sales which have even lower prices than any other place. My Xiaomi Miband 2 arrived very quickly and it's original. They also give great support for customers. Definitely will buy again.
I made several purchases at GearBest, all excellent experiences, very good price, fast delivery, very low price for excellent products. Loved it!
Muy buenos productos a precios bajos y un soporte técnico muy atento y rápido,
Su App para dispositivos móviles te permiten adquirir los artículos a un menor precio.
I bought a smartphone ( oneplus 3t) and my experience was great! Absolutely the best place to buy with excellent support after purchase! Reduced shipping time and no cost to customs. You can not ask for better!
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.
