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.

Excellent eshop
November 26, 2017

Gearbest is an excellent eshop mainly for electronics but you can find here all other stuff also. Prices are very good. Most of the goods are from China, but transport what Gearbest provide is very good. I ordered many times to the Europe and all orders were without problems. Everything came quickly and in quality that I want. Prices are lower than in Europe, so it is very good. Gearbest has also warehouses in Europe, so you can have your goods in a 5 day at home. I recommned Gearbest to everybody.

I placed my first order in Gearbest shop in October. Since this time I've bought there 5 or 6 things eg. Soocas toothbrushes, spare brushes, Roidmi bluetooth transmitter, Xiaomi wifi repeater or Nitecore flashlight. Only in one case there were some problems with long awating time to send goods, but support was in touch with me. Postal operator refused to send goods, but Gearbest resend it in other way. It was a bit long, but toothbrush which I collected is really good, so i'm really happy despite of these little problems. Just use your Paypal account and have fun. If there are any difficulties, often it's caused by postal operators and their long time of handling - Gearbest have nothing to that!

I met Gearbest two years ago. For this time I bought 45 useful and quality things in this store. This store values its customers, offers a discount on the next purchase. At purchase it is possible to choose some convenient ways of delivery. Often the price of the goods in Gearbest is the lowest. But the quality is always consistently high!

This site is amazing. Their customer service is fast and helpful. They always try to help with your problem. In my Country we can have problems with customs. But my Gearbest shoppings I never had a problem with them. I bought more than 40 items from this site and never had a problem. Their price is just amazing I bought many things from 1$ this is incredible.

Gb points problem
November 26, 2017

For my order from gearbest besides it arrived very late the other biggest problem for me is the use of the gb points in the site. Since they put many constraints to use the gb points on the site. I cannot use my points as I wanted and they are not wise to use.

I ordered 4 drones, 2 kinds of drones. 1 costs $51.99, the second type costs 35.99, but they charged me $52.13! I opened a ticket with their customer service and the person Zareen wrote:

"Thank you very much for your contacting us.

The item is 51.99USD. Please check attachment. There is not any discount be used for the order.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards

Do not order with them they just scammed me for $200!

That's a really good website. I've purchased a lot of gadgets and electronics. When there is a problem the customer service is really kind and helps you to fix the problem whatever it is, warranty service, problems in the package. The last expedition arrived in few days and when I opened the package there was a problem and GB quickly fixed the issue
