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.

I bought from Gearbest a smartphone, a pair of earphones and a smartband. The shipping was always free (or almost free) and very fast, thanks to the italy express method. I am very satisfied by the customer service, they respond in 24h. I like Gearbest because It often offers discounts and great deals on every product. "
I received a waterproof camera case, the latch was cracked. I went on to the gearbest site to see what my options were. To start, their "tucket" system for complaints is horrible. It kept faulting out and would erase all your entries, so you get to start over. Simple links to my order wouldn't populate any of the info into the complaint, you get to re-enter it all over again. It wouldn't let me download pics. So I emailed their customer support about not being able to submit a ticket. They told me to submit a ticket about my problem. Yep, they did. After numerous emails of them telling me to try again or go to a different computer, they finally started addressing my concern. English is obviously not their first language which is fine but makes it more difficult. They kept asking for me to submit more pictures and describe the problem. It was a simple problem, I sent five different pictures showing a very obvious broken latch. I even pointed to it in the pictures. Finally after three weeks they said it was my responsibility to check the product when I received it and they can't help me if I broke it. I explained that I did inspect it and it was broken, that's why I'm writing to you. In the end they wore me down. I just gave up.
I was very skeptical about ordering from Gearbest but I am happy to report that I received nothing but excellent customer service from them. Gearbest offers insurance for packages at a vey low rate and you are therefore guaranteed to receive your purchase should you take this option. This gave me great peace of mind when ordering.
All my queries about products I was interested in purchasing, were answered promptly and professionally before I placed my order. My package was shipped quickly and arrived in South Africa without any damage. The items that I ordered were as advertised and of good quality.
I did lodge a complaint about an additional fee that I was charged by the shipper Aramex for clearance in SA and Gearbest listened to my complaint and paid for half of this additional fee. Customer service of this high standard is hard to come by these days and I will continue to purchase from these guys.
Futhermore they always have great specials and rewards for writing reviews of purchased products. This is an excellent incentive program as you actually get money back as credit for your next order.
I would also like to recommend Gearbest to everyone as they are trustworthy and are willing to go the extra mile to satisfy their customer's needs.

I am very happy with the purchases made by Gearbest. I purchased YOKATV KB2 PRO Wireless Android TV Box 3GB. I find them reliable, accurate and with great customer care, even after sale. I also received information before a purchase, and in the rare cases where I had a problem I was followed meticulously by the staff. The goods I have always received with precision and integrity. I want to share my positive experience with all of Gearbest.
I used often gearbest to buy phones, headsets, gadjet, etc. The prices are much lower competition, support staff is always available and deliveries are fast.

He comprado alrededor de 30 paquetes y 28 han llegado en perfecto estado a mi casa, y los otros dos que no llegaron me han devuelto mi dinero,
Gearbest es una empresa seria y con super ofertas
Yo recomendaria que en su pagina web las ordenes que ya han sido entregadas dejen de visualizarse junto a las otras
Gracias.
Os produtos correspondem ao pedido e a encomenda é despachada rapidamente e chega em 10-12 dias. Serviço excelente
Quick delivery, genuine products, cheap products, lots of options on products. I would recommend this shop if you do not need this item urgently as it takes usually 25 days as it goes through ground delivery, also the shop is cheap and it has promotions all the time so you can find some cheap products from time to time
I'm very happy to shopping items from gearbest. I have been with many shops and sellers, had bad times and good times upon each of my purchases in general. Since i firstly purchased from Gearbest i must say that they are really honest, friendly and the items they sell have good quality. The products arrive very fast with your express delivery system. I am very satisfied and they have great prices.
For my opinion Gearbest is one of the best Asian store - fast reply from support, interesting deals, free delivery for most low price products.
I ordered Liitokala 100 charger and it came very fast to me absolutely safety. It works great! I recommend this store to everyone!
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.
