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.

Reliable and affordable
July 22, 2018

My two experiences buying from Gearbest were very positive. My first order arrived earlier than expected and the products matched precisely their description on the website. My second order is still en route but I also expect it to arrive ealier than predicted.

Be Very Carefull
July 21, 2018

I can't believe Gearbest could have so many 5 star reviews on one end and so many 1 star reviews on the other end. All one star reviews have a commom thread: not honoring warranties, not making refunds as promised, or saying item was shipped when there is no record. That has been my experience with GearBest. Very suspicious that all reviews are 5 star and glowing while all others are 1 star. Paid or company reviewers? You be the judge.

Gearbest is definitely the best
July 20, 2018

I've bought many things from Gearbest and I assure you that it's the best e-shopping store in the whole internet because it has a lot of cheap good quality items: electronics clothes and more... When something is wrong their support team reply quickly and solve the problem by refunding or sending another item. They also offer a free shipment method.

I made my first purchase from china on Gearbest, it was a smartphone, and pretty expensive one, I was worried a bit as you have to pay in advance. Luckily gearbest keeps you on track whole the time so always know where is your order at. My first order was delivered from China in 10bussines days which is pretty fast consider it has travel half the world.

As now, I am using Gearbest for over a month and I made over 5 orders, in total 11 pieces, I am really satisfied with GearBest and I can reccomend it to anyone. As Trustpilot says
"5 stars: Excellent no reservations, I would recommend this company to anyone."

Good tracking, fast shipping, low prices.

Greetings to users,
Below I will describe my opinion about the Gearbest store. The first thing that struck a long time ago is a wide range of goods. Goods are packed and shipped very quickly and reliably. Has made more than 20 orders, there have been several returns (mail work is very bad), the return policy itself is very good and customer-oriented, compared to other Chinese trading platforms.
I also ordered goods from the grocery (TV) and everything went very smoothly. Without a shadow of a doubt, I recommend this store to everyone.

Straight scam
July 16, 2018

This company is a straight scam. In the fine print they suggest you buy shipping insurance. If you did not your product never arrives. Then they say by policy they only refund less than half. Great business model, good pictures, take the money, refund half for over 100% profit. Do not buy from them.
