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 order Xiaomi Redmi 8 cellphone on Black Friday (28/11/19), was payed additional £3.45 shipping guarantee tax. Nothing received after more than 2 months. One week after delivery deadline expire date they didn't answer to my messages on support tickets. So I have very bad experience with this site!

Xiaomi MI 9 Lite phone
February 4, 2020

I purchased this Xiaomi MI 9 Lite phone for my wife. After approximately one week of use, the phone died on low battery and wasn't able to be charged anymore. I contacted Gearbest to inform them of the issues. After going through all protocols of sending photos and videos showing the state of the phone, Gearbest asked me to send it back for a refund. I sent the phone back, and now they are saying they haven't received it. I have given them the tracking number as well as paying extra for the package to be signed for. I'm now having to fight through PayPal to get my refund. Save yourself the hassle of going through what I have gone through, and don't purchase expensive items from Gearbest as they won't stand behind their customers when something goes wrong. This will be the last time I will be purchasing anything from the ever again.

Really happy with the Gearbest
February 3, 2020

My first experiance with the Gearbest was when I bought the new phone.
I've tried searching in the other shops to find the best price, but none could offer any cheaper.
I'm really happy with the support that Gearbest gave me in answering all of my questions.
They are really fast and professional.

Trustworthy service and great value
January 28, 2020

I've used quite a lot of online markets in the last couple years and I have to say, Gearbest is the one I did not have bad experience with. If you don't like to gamble with the goods quality, but still want things cheap, this is the place to get them from.

Gearbest is a platform that sells products in its own name and hosts sellers. I bought several block construction toys from 3rd party sellers and a few technical gadgets, some of them from Gearbest directly.

Delivery is usually in original packaging, which maybe a real asset for presents, collectors or when planning to resell down the road.
Support is friendly and competent, better than Ali which seems to be highly standardized and automated

Delivery lead times are longer than on Ali or ebay. Reckon with 3-4 weeks for delivery, if item is in stock. Note
Prices are usually higher than on Ali, even when discounted from sky high 'moon' prices.

GearBest is my online shopping site of choice because it lists quality items at a really fantastic price that you won't find elsewhere. Both the website and app are very easy to navigate and they design layout is easy on the eye, making browsing and the purchase process flawless.
I enjoy the loyalty-point type reward system which allows you to gain points which can later be used to further discount your items. Points can be scored in many ways which also includes earnings with each purchase made.

In my experience, most items are shipped together, unlike other online stores which ship each item separately from different vendors.
Customer service is also note-worthy with response times unparalleled by other websites. Any grievances or queries are thoughtfully answers at very adequate speeds.
I know I can rely on GearBest.
I would definitely recommend.
