I have ordered an expensive beamer l, never received it and there is no signature package. First of all they said that it would take a long time and after that they according to then they posted when I was not home. They send me that the post had been delivered. So don't trust and don't waste your money. I had to pay for something I didn't receive and had to wait months waste of time.

EDIT:
Geekbuying has become cooperative and repaired the item free of charge (including shipping). Communication was a big issue at times. I am now waiting for the item to arrive back, but have no reason to thing there will be a problem with it.

Geekbuying will not obey EU law and pay for shipping fees.
I bought a Jimmy JV85 Pro Vacuum cleaner that broke down less than 1y after purchase. Geek buying will repair, but will not pay for shipping fees, even though European law states the consumer must have the repair free on any expense, including shipping fees.

Verified purchase

Cons,
Shipping took long days, delivery time itself was standard from China to Japan, the days between order date and shipping date was too long waiting.
One of three RG35XX doesn't work and color was wrong.
Pros,
Geekbuying is more clear seller, not cheating like Aliexpress, so trustworthy simple shopping like Amazon.
The customer service staff responds very quick and simple discussion after I received the wrong item.

Die Bestellung wurde von einer nicht autorisierten Person ausgeführt und die Lieferung hatte noch nicht begonnen. Das Geld war schon via... bezahlt so das ein Kaufvertrag zustande gekommen war. Auf meine Nachfrage hin zwecks Storno der Order und Rückerstattung wurde innerhalb von 32Std. Reagiert und mir ist die Zahlung zurück erstattet worden ohne Bearbeitungsgebühren.

By making my first purchase, I wanted at all costs to have it within a maximum of 7 days because I was very excited to have it and test it. I chose delivery by DHL according to the cost displayed, I was unpleasantly surprised to receive an email to inform me that the cost of delivery is not the same and that I must pay up to 32 $ for delivery to be made by DHL. I finally opted for free shipping and a refund that I'm still waiting for.

All the drunk that I had to have my article completely disappeared and I told myself that I should have opted for a purchase in my country. I do not know when I will receive my article, I wait. Although there are plenty of electronic items that I expected to buy through this site. But...

After 2 months of writing emails back and forward to them. They finally have settled the score and accepted to send me my money back.

I am not going to buy from any website abroad after this bad experience.

They are thieves, they sent me an empty shipment after I ordered Xiaomi phone for 450$ and waited for it 3 weeks. They told me that I have to file a complaint against my local courier which I did and still in dispute with them and now they are telling me that I have already got my cargo.

After going back-and-forth on the issue for more than a year, and subsequently getting a repaired tablet back, which was damaged, I will report that in the end GeekBuying provided a refund of half the purchase price of the tablet. I was agreeable to the offer and accepted. The amount was refunded and the matter has reached a satisfactory conclusion.

BAD BAD Geekbuying; Keep Money and returned defective tablet more than ONE YEAR!

Sad to report, my one and only experience buying from this outfit was, is, a real drag, total nightmare that has been dragging on for more than a year!

They have had the Teclast X-98 Pro I bought in April '16 for more than a year now. I returned it to them in May '16. They have kept the money for the purchase, just giving me the TOTAL runaround. Where the heck can I share the story? And this last part is just the tip of the iceberg in having had to deal with these folks in the last year. Avoid them, is my advice. Here's a copy of some of the recent exchanges, as I await trying to get--will I ever?--getting a table back from them that I mailed back--at my expense--MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO!

They told me in February the table was repaired--yes, seven months!--and wanted to mail it to me then. As soon as I returned home from overseas travel I emailed, gave my address info to them and told them they could mail it to me. OK, about a week later, they send a form, asking for the info I had already given them about my address! The exact same info that I had already mailed to them!

Geekbuying Staff,

You said it was repaired months ago, and you were mailing it back. But I was not in the U.S., and now I am. And you asked me for all the address details and I sent them. That was almost three weeks ago. And you said you had mailed it, and I am waiting.

Now you say this. What is going on?

Why would it need to go to the repair place?

Sent: Monday, May 22,2107 4:15 PM
Hello,
I sent this to you three days ago, no reply yet.
Please respond.
I sent you my address details on May 1.
You replied on May 3 you would mail it ASAP.

May 17, I asked, where is it. Then you say it's back to factory? You told me a few months ago it was repaired. When I got back to U.S. I gave you my address details.

When is the tablet coming, what are the shipment details, where is it now?

Please respond.

I just checked that number. Today is June 13, that number says it is 'prepared', 'being prepared' whatever the heck that means. And doesn't say anything about it being addressed to anyone... maybe nothing is being sent... that's my guess. The number says 'prepared, preparing' as of June 4... hahaha... THAT IS NINE (9) DAYS AGO.

WHAT A JOKE, HAHA!

You keep the buyer's money, and keep the tablet that was returned MORE THAN ONE YEAR AGO for replacement, repair, refund--I even asked for just credit and would have been satisfied with that. Look at the record. But no, you keep the money and don't give the customer anything...

That is called STEALING. GEEKBUYING is enaged in STEALING!

This is an edited post after the issue was resolved:

The reason I haven't put 4 or 5 stars is because I didn't actually buy anything. Also the reason I cancelled is because I freaked out about all the negative reviews.

I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X from the Geekbuying Spanish warehouse stock on Monday 27th Nov.

It took a while to process and so I cancelled my order. There was a bit of a delay in response, I think due to the timezones, but I received a full refund within 10 days. Everyone was very helpful.

Tip for consumers:
Look elsewhere

Ordered a phone, waited 6 weeks but didn't get anything. Contacted customer service to ask the exact adress to which the parcel was sent (I changed the shipping adress shortly after ordering) but for some reason they are not able or willing to provide me with shipping details, even after multiple requests. However, I did got a full refund and was able to order my phone elsewhere. In the end I am left with mixed feelings but since I got my money back I am positive about the company and would consider shopping here again.

Amazfit Bip, l'ho ordinato e pagato sabato sera, mi sarei aspettato una conferma d'ordine, così ho cominciato a scrivere mail chiedendo se l'ordine pagato fosse stato ricevuto. A sorpresa, mentre stavo scrivendo un'altra mail è arrivato il postino. Molto veloci, ma una conferma che è tutto ok, no? Sicuro che tornerò a comprare qui, sono comunque molto cortesi e veloci.

My problem with this company is with their communication. It takes ages before hearing back from them. That being said, do they deliver on what is promised and are they safe? Yes, they absolutely are. If you plan on making a quick purchase without needing to get in touch with the company, then this could be the right place to buy appropriately priced electronics.

I ordered a phone. About 130 US dollars, on June month, 2018... I payed with a MASTERCARD card... after a while, they asked me to send them a foto of my national ID and the Mastercard card, with all the serial numbers on it... i could not send them those serial numbers, being out of town..., so, after 7 days, their system cancelled the order.

No money were taken from my account. Everything was fine.

I bought what I thought was a great phone, and was very excited to receive it. I bought a screen protector and a phone case to go along with my new phone. After all that excitement, I ended up finding out belatedly (meaning I had already paid for the phone), that the phone I ordered stopped being produced. It took them a week for them to let me know, and each response from them after that, took about two days long for them to get back to me! They should really keep their website more up-to-date on what is actually available for customers to buy. On the positive side, their ability to get back to me about a refund was done in a timely enough period. That much, I appreciated.

The package was supposed to arrive in 1 month maximum, and instead it arrived in 2,5 months. Nevertheless the product was in its box without any flaws. So, the only problem was the big delay!
