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 ordered all kind of things from Gearbest - mobile phones, mobile phone accessories, bike gear, consumer electronics. All the orders arrived as advertised and the items were OK. I will certainly order other things from Gearbest, as the price and the quality are good. Order numbers **************665 / 15.09.2019, **************653 / 01.07.2019, **************880 / 21.08.2019.

I had a great experience with GearBest customer service, my issue was with an order that took a bit longer than expected to ship out. When contacting customer service, I got quick responses, and several options on how I wish to proced, ranging from refund to changing my order. Due to the nature of that order, I had a lot of questions, and everytime I got fast responses.
Never had a problem with my orders, always got in time, and with great quality, the prices are the best.
I had a great experience with gearbest. Even when there were issues, all was solved easily and quickly.
You have been a great gearbest team, please continue to the best
Thanks

COMPREI O XIAOMI MI PLAY 4G E ESTOU MUITO SATISFEITO LOJA MUITO PROFISSIONAL.
O TELEMOVEL CHEGOU RAPIDO E BEM EMBALADO, TUDO FUNCIONA.
JA SOU CLIENTE DA GEARBEST A 3 ANOS COM MUITAS COMPRAS E A MINHA LOJA DE CONFIANÇA."
The shipping, on average, is about 2 weeks to my country, even less if the product is shipped from an European warehouse.
The online support is always available and very helpful.
You can safely order products on Gearbest.
Best e-commerce site to import, I've bought dozens of products and will continue to buy.
Большинство отечественных магазинов не работают с электронным кошельком PayPal. Зато у китайцев есть хороший и дешевый магазин GearBest. Цены ниже Алиэкспресс, в основном бесплатная доставка, плюс гарантия (платная). Заказывал смартфон и чехол. Отслеживание до самого почтового отделения.
Não tenho muito a crítica, só falta a GearBest organiza os estoques e o site pra não temos problemas com produtos com estoque vazio e o site constando que o produto está disponível no estoque, isso que ta causando atraso nos envios das encomendas.
Mas tirando isso a GearBest é muito boa em produtos, qualidades, preço e atendimento.
Uma situação que é bem chata é os reembolso porque eu gasto $30 em uma compra e o reembolso é somente $20, ja o site do ( Aliexpress) o reembolso é total. Se eu gasto $30 o reembolso é $30 e isso é resolvido muito rápido.
The Item is very good and nice! It is a great fun to assembly it! I like it! The shipping was fast and the customer service is excellent!
Gearbest sold me a quadcopter with a promised delivery date of 8 to 14 days. When it did not show shipment within 8 days of purchase I contacted them to find out if the promised delivery dates were still good. They told me it would be an additional 8 to 14 days before it shipped and 10 to 18 working days shipping time. After additional inquiry they admitted the item was not in stock and they weren't sure if it would ever be back in stock but they could offer me a credit to my Gearbest account. Thankfully I played with paypal so they allowed me to cancel my order and promised a credit to my paypal account for the full price of the purchase within 8 days. I will wait and see if this is another broken promise. I do not recommend doing business with Gearbest unless you thrive on broken promises and frustration.
I have been using this site for a long time, and I was able to comment as follows:

"For a long time, I started to buy some cheap stuff at Gearbest.com (for shipping to Germany). Due to fair prices and very good logistic (no customs clearance problems) I starts to buy higher value stuff.
No problems at all. Not with ordering, shipping or customs. I there was a problem (one stuff from Xiaomi did not work in Europe) Customer Service is really willing to help and to solve the problem asap.
Next shopping tour will start at gearbest.com as usual:-)
Fair prices, good service, great stuff!
Gearbest.com is a very good seller. Communication is at a very high level. Shipment received very well packaged. I live in Belarus and shipping time near 2-3 weeks!
I requested hands free from Gearbest.
My shopping knowledge was astounding.
I got the item in around 21 days to Morocco. Client benefit is astonishing and is extremely instant in tending to questions.
It offers parcel of items at focused cost and permits to influence installment with different alternatives to like paypal, CC et cetera.
Keep doing awesome
Answer: Some people will get their products, some will not. Some will get what they expected and some will not. I got my products but one was not what they promised and one broke after a few seconds of use. They still continue to use wrong information on their website even though they admitted to me that it is not correct. I wrote a review on their web site about the product that broke after a few seconds of use and they blocked it so it still looks like the product only has positive reviews. You can see pictures and read more on my own web site that I created for telling my experience about GearBest: http://GearBestreview.azurewebsites.net
Answer: Dont really matter mate, regardless, what they do if does not arrive, they will not refund, they offer to resend at your cost. Then you do Paypal dispute, they refuse to refund unless you close the case, if you close the case, Paypal will not help. In my circumstances Paypal decided in my favour and refunded, but dragged on, avoid this company in future, Bangood better
Answer: Dear Iain, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.gearbest.com/ Our colleague will reply you in 24 hours! We are sorry that the live chart is some buzy, as many people contact over the world. So that may need customers to wait a little linger for their turn. Gearbest.com
Answer: Yes Adam, did you pay with PayPal? If Then contact PayPal and claim your money back and stat away from gearbest, they lied to me and now i an trying to get my 100 dollars back. There is a reason that they are NOT on eBay... So my advice to everyone is to stay far away from this socalled Company... No mail, no adress, no phone?
Answer: They are legit, just ridiculously slow in shipping. I waited 1.5 months for my "rush" order. It was shipped out in multiple pacakges and arrived at different times.
Answer: Same here, after 3months of waiting for my order and many conversations in an email ticket which went on for 1month they promised me to refund me via paypal. No refund and nothing heard from them since almost 2weeks. Keep writing here people, I hope lotz of people read it and gearbest goes bankrupt very soon
Answer: You can try the Better Business Bureau like I did however they never responded to them either, they did respond to the tickets I opened up on their site but the replies weren't of much use and not very helpful.
Answer: I wouldn't. It's been three months and I still don't have my order and their customer service is terrible. They just keep telling tryouts to wait longer.
Answer: I would advise you to stear clear. If the site does not let you order with free shipping then you have dodged a bullet. I got free shipping but the product was damaged an only fit for resting your cup on they offered a refund less the first shipping that was ment to be free or a replacement. As it cost 25 pounds to send back to resolve the matter I chose to except the replacement it came and was just as bad a tablet as the first. Take my advice and run a mile. Hope this gives you an idea what the company is like. Run run run a mile mate.
