Bought a Shimano shifter. The item delivered was branded "Skilful".
Amazon says they investigated and found the item to be authentic.
They continue to delete my review.

Tip for consumers:
That they sell fakes and protect 3rd parties that sell fakes.

Products used:
Fake bicycle parts

Negative option billing has been illegal in Ontario since July 2005.
The webpage hides automatic opt ins for manulife insurance in their checkout process.
How many people, booking flights during times of stress such as family illness or death, may not see the negative option billing? This is exactly what happened to us. We didn't see it until our credit card bill arrived.
If flighthub does not refund the insurance fee, I will dispute the charge with the credit card company.
Update: Flighthub did contact me after I posted this review. A refund is pending.
Update 2: The refund was processed. Flighthub did the right thing in refunding the money BUT there never should have been the charge for the automatic opt in in the first place. Be careful when using their site.

This is one of the better electronics sites out there. I ordered UPSs for work. They arrived in 2 days with the free shipping option. Awesome! Well packaged. Items just as stated.
Maybe not the cheapest but close. Barely higher than Chinese based companies. If you don't want to wait 6 weeks+ for stuff to come from China then I highly recommend Newegg.

Update: I have reviewed newegg.ca only. I cannot speak about newegg USA, Singapore, Australia, etc. I recommend that buyers look for specific reviews on those.

Nothing but lies, back orders, fake tracking numbers and scams. This company has the worst customer service of any company I have EVER dealt with.
Read the positive "reviews". They are blatantly fake.
I am disgusted with PayPal for allowing this company to use PayPal.
Thanks for ruining a gift. I ordered it 2 months before I needed it. Pathetic.
Update - gearbest contacted me and basically offered me a bribe. They said they would give me a free "gift" if I updated my review on sitejabber. Yeah, I will update it alright. I'll update it to say what lying, unethical and dishonest scammers they are! Take your free gift and shove it. I won't lie to fellow consumers.

Look at the response from gearbest on this very site. It is just a junk generic answer. They don't want to fix the problem. It seems that they didn't even bother to read to see what the problem is. They won't give me a refund and this is their excuse - "The money has been frozen if it is in the jugement of paypal." Absolute nonsense. I sell through paypal too and I know that a seller can always give a refund. If I get a refund it will be by force and not gearbest doing the right thing.

DON'T say that a full refund was issued. More lies. A partial refund was for a DIFFERENT item and this was only because PAYPAL issued the refund NOT Gearbest. I don't want your refund. I will not revise my review. Gearbest is an awful company and I want nothing more to do with you, EVER!
