Gearbest Reviews Summary

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 have already bought several products, both for me and my friends, and orders are always shipped quickly and well packed. I always take advantage of the various discount coupons that appear frequently. I already presented the site to friends, who never bought outside my country (Brazil) and they liked it and started to buy it too. In all the times I needed support, I have always been well attended and until today everything has always been solved, that's great, not every website really cares about customer satisfaction as does GearBest.

Shopping with Gearbest is not safe.
I ordered a 400 euro laptop and did not purchase insurance' (I thought insurance was for the laptop, and I was not going to send my laptop to China for repairs) - I didn't know it was shipping insurance, I didn't even know that existed.
They told me my product arrived on June 26 at 10:26 am - but I never received it - I checked my post office, my neighbours, businesses near me everything. ALSO - Gearbest refused to find out the local tracking number in France for me so that I could further look in to it and try and find my parcel.
They simply say it is the shipping company responsibility and offer 50% refund for store credit. I can't believe it. I have tried to sort it out with them but they refuse to help me any further.
Is it even legal to treat customers like this? I can't believe a package would just go missing like this. And furthermore that Gearbest won't help me resolve it with the shipping company if it is the shipping companies fault.
So now I am out 400 because I made a claim with Paypal finally and have been waiting for nearly 1 month (since July) for an answer. I really hope it goes well, and I wish Gearbest would just return me the funds or send me a new product.
Worst. Experience. Ever.

I think is spent 1k - 2k$ on gearbest.
1. I wrote a bad review on a product and it didn't get published.
2. Orders get split, received part of it and for the other I had to wait for ages and go to the post again.
3. Misleading promos.
4. When I open a support ticket the support person asks questions on information I've already provided in the first message.

Buying on Gearbest has been an incredible experience! They have great prices, products with excellent quality, finish and design and agility in delivery leaves any competitor behind. I live in Brazil and Gearbest products are arriving with record time here, on average 10 days maximum, VERY GOOD!

Congratulations to the Gearbest team!

Devo ammettere che sono sempre stato diffidente riguardo l'acquistare articoli spediti dalla Cina ma con Gearbest è cambiato tutto.
La spedizione dei vari ordini ha impiegato al massimo 15 giorni (totali) ed i prodotti erano sempre in perfetto stato, grazie anche ad un ottimo imballaggio.
E' capitato anche che abbiano spedito subito due di quattro articoli totali (spedendo poi il resto successivamente e senza alcun costo per me), per farmi ricevere al più presto la merce.
Il servizio clienti è stato fulmineo e rispondeva dopo pochi istanti in inglese nonostante io scrivessi in italiano.
Non da ultimo devo segnalare una delle cose che preferisco e cioè la presenza costante di offerte e codici sconto che sono la soluzione migliore per invogliare gli acquirenti.
Davvero un'ottima esperienza!

Gosto muito de compras coisas no gearbest, são sempre atenciosos, os materiais são excelentes, o tempo de envio é sempre o esperado as vezes até mais rapido.
Melhor site de compras compro desde 2014, na gearbeste antes comprava em outros locais e nada a ver mesmo.
