Geekbuying has a rating of 3.7 stars from 955 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Geekbuying most frequently mention customer service, fast delivery and full refund. Geekbuying ranks 9th among Electronics sites.
All reviews underneath me are from accounts made by people at this company, as they have only made one review, the grammar in them uses consistently incorrect English and they have done the same on other sites.
Just a heads up :)
1. You will not get any customer support if something will go wrong (support consultant Dora, uses canned responses and doesn't try to solve your issue)
2. If you need to return the goods IT will COST 32$
3. Vendor decreases the invoice amount without agreement (possible problems with customs)
4. Vendor can change 'Product Lead-time:' after your payment, be careful
So I bought a laptop from them and paid with PayPal. And it's been pending like crazy since I made the payment.
Their excuses were
1) haven't received any payment
2) their staff were sleeping
3) having no clue about the payment and I should contact PayPal and the bank myself
Etc.
So, now I asked them to cancel the order instead because it's ridiculous. PayPal people told me it might take 1-2 days for recipient to get the money; it's been more than a week.
I also made a review on the other website, they were pretending to be helpful but when I contact them personally, it's always something.
Just cancel my order already.

I spent over $150 on this order that was shipped two months ago but now shows as lost. I've ordered from them before but will never do it again. The refuse to send a replacement or refund my money. My credit card company reject my dispute before this is a Chinese company. The customer service was very rude despite the fact the me and my friends were looking to order a lot more stuff. Stay far away from these evil thieves.

I ordered a camera which arrived with a damaged lens. 7 emails later they said they would refund $10-$20. I haven't seen a dime. It was like pulling teeth just to get a return authorized. Life's too short to deal with crooks like this. Please don't let the low prices attract you to them because customer service is absolutely terrible.
I want to thank you very much about your immediate response each time I asked something!
Best prices every time I checked and a lot of payment methods to be used. Also Geekbuying is partner with Paypal and that's why I trusted them to buy my OnePlus 5.
Keep on the good job!
Don't trust the 5 star reviews here or anywhere, most of them (if not all of them) are fake, just read few words and you'll understand what I mean.
I bought an Android TV box and keyboard for 150 USD on September 2017. After more than a month I received the product but it didn't work. They asked me to ship it back (on my account) which I did. I had to wait another month+ until they received the product back. It took them another two weeks to ship, and another month to deliver (arrived on January 2018). The new shipment is also defective. Now they stopped answering my mails and I'm stuck with TV box that doesn't work. The agent that handled the case was Jessie my Order Number: is #*******. I would never trust them with my money, there are other Chinese sites with better customer service out there.
I bought a mobile from them. After 6 months it could not be charged.
Geekbuying suggested to give me $20 as fee for repairing (which makes more sense actually), or sent it back to them (somewhere in China) for repairing and I had to pay for delivery and tariff (in total almost $100), which I did.
The phone was sent to them on Dec 2021, arrived china on Feb, 2022. And they forgot to take it for months! I asked them like 10 times, so frustrating...
The mobile is still in delivery, pretty much several kms away from their office.
Do not what happened. And I do not want to think about it.
But lesson learned, never buy from Geekbuying.
It may look cheap, but cost much more than you can think of.

Ordered something for Christmas two months ago. As of today I do not have the product, I dont have any kind of tracking information, and no hope for a refund either. There was no indication on the website that it would take longer than a month to arrive. I have heard back from customer service, but they only keep telling me that they are looking into it. Im pretty sure they just keep hoping I forget about it and MoveOn. This website is a total scam!
Supplied defective Xiaomi scooters - brake issues which caused safety issue from day 1. Based in China with slow, unresponsive and deceitful CS service. Refusing to collect and refund scooters.
Do not buy from them.

After writing bad reviews here, on their YouTube video of the product and on a couple of other review sites they finally refund my money and asked me to delete the reviews! But it took months for that to happen. Still I advise you not to buy anything from them.
Apparently sites like sitejabber really do their job well!
This site is a fraud! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!
I've ordered a small drone from them 3 months ago, but it never arrived. I've requested my money back, but didn't got them. All that their customer support says is that they can't return my money, because the package may arrive after a few more months! So in the end - no money and no drone.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! JUST DON'T DO IT!
I have purchased 5 times from Geekbuying and it has been an excellent experience so far. They have a great variety of products and the competitive pricing. For smaller items delivery through TNT is quite fast. For larger orders, it will take a while to reach through registered email (usually within 20-30 days).
For any one who is ordering from UAE, word of advice, please make sure to send it an address with a PO box. If you mail it to an address without a PO Box, then the order will be returned to home country.
Excellent device and very good price. Large variety of products on site. And most importantly, customer service is very caring and efficient. I received a service after the purchase from Mrs. Jennifer who made every effort to help me.
I bought a phone and the shipping time happened to be too long, so I cancelled the order and got the money back in less than 4 days since my request. Great customer service, will keep buying from them.
Thank God I only bought $34 worth of drone parts last November 2016, they have been making excuses why it is delayed. All of them lies. The tracking site they give you apparently is also theirs.
Its a scam folks, i was a victim, i truly hope you don't become one

Don't buy from them, they don't have items in stock and lie about shipping time, they even provide you with a dummy tracking number if they need to gain sometime while they figure out where to get the items from. In my case after a month I'm still chasing them to get the item I paid for, good thing I used PayPal so can file a claim against them. This is a very dishonest company, avoid at all costs.

Placed an order for honor note 10.
Showed 490 units in stock.
Chose the 3 day dhl shipping.
Then found out item is not in stock.
Payment was processed and confirmed.
It has been 10 days. Nobody is responding.
Then the online chat team cancelled my order over a chat that disconnected midway.
Losing my mind.
Very very unprofessional people.

I purchased my tv box from geekbuying because it was $10 less than Ebay. It took almost 3 weeks to arrive and when it did arrive, it did not work. I went back and forth with geekbuying about the issue. They just kept saying "Don't worry, it will work" and gave fake trouble shooting guides. After 2 weeks of the run around they emailed me. They said we will give you $30 of the $50 because it would cost them too much to return it to China. They actually stole $20 from and admit it and said go ahead tell your bank we defrauded you, we don't care. I have all the emails to prove this. They are a complete SCAM! Don't buy!
Dear customer,

I bought a home camera from Geekbuying in the last month, but it turned out to be faulty. Even though, the customer care handled the situation perfectly, so kudos to them for being kind and understanding, I could not be more satisfied.
I don't normally write reviews but this one was too much. geekbuying.com sent me a defective item. I wrote them to let them know it was defective and included pictures and video. Although their return policy indicates that the consumer will only pay for shipping if the return was their fault, they were unwilling to provide the full refund for the defective item until i returned the item to china (which cost more than the item itself). I finally needed to file a fraud dispute with my credit card company so that I could get a refund for the defective item.

Answer: The "processing" could take a whole week. Shipment speed depends on DHL. Something in the range they are promising (3-5 days)
Answer: I would maybe start the ball rolling with Paypal. This is the thing, if no issues then they great, any issues and they are more than useless.
Answer: From my experience, they are. Here are some tips for ordering from GeekBuying safely: Only purchase products from GeekBuying's official website. Carefully read the product descriptions and reviews before making a purchase. Use a payment method that offers buyer protection, such as PayPal or a credit card. Be prepared for the possibility of long shipping times. Contact GeekBuying's customer service immediately if you have any problems with your order. If you are considering ordering from GeekBuying, I recommend that you do your research and weigh the risks and benefits carefully.
Answer: I would strongly suggest not buying from them. If you have any problems with the product, they will refuse to refund.
Answer: Yes, GeekBuying offers cash on delivery (COD) for orders to some countries. Here are the countries where COD is available: Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Kuwait Oman Qatar Bahrain If you are considering ordering from GeekBuying using COD, here are some things to keep in mind: COD orders are subject to a handling fee of $10. The maximum order amount for COD orders is $1,000. COD orders are typically processed and shipped within 2-3 business days. COD orders are delivered by DHL or FedEx. You will need to pay the full amount of the order to the delivery person upon delivery. If you are ordering from a country where COD is not available, you will need to pay for your order using another payment method, such as PayPal or a credit card.
