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.

GearBest is a wonderful store.
Very fast order processing, phones come with installed global firmware, always checked before shipping.
Paying is certainly best of PayPal.
Very pleased with the promotions. Many goods can be bought with coupons at prices that are not available anywhere else.
Definitely the store deserves attention!"
Order number: W**************
I had some shipping issues (one item is missing and several others with some damages), but there Customer Service offer me fast and fair solution and compensation. Over all Great Customer Service and Professionalism!
So called "One Year Repair Warranty" is clearly promised. Actually they refuse to repair the goods and offers 5% compensation initially and, after mostly senseless correspondence, 25%.
Gearbest has great flash sales with great prices. A few shipping options. Customer Service answers all inquiries with 24 hours (times difference USA - China). Refunds via PayPal are quickly expedited for order cancellations. They offer great reward points for daily sign-ins & for reviews on products purchased. All in all a great place to shop as long as you are aware they are shipping from China. So depending on shipping method chosen it could be as quick as 5 days or up to 14 days.

It was my first purchase online and the truth is that it will not be the last, I am very satisfied with the products and they are at a super price, without a doubt gearbest is one of the best pages there is. 100% reliable!
Loja espetacular recomendo 5 Estrelas. Tem os melhores preços que encontrei na net, e as entregas chegam em perfeitas condições.
Otima empresa, respeita os clientes tirando sempre todas as duvidas, loja com produtos de qualidade, e otimas embalagens.

Gearbest has surprised me with every purchase, with its great prices, variety of products and quality of services, such as website infrastructure, support, shipping and handling of data and financial transactions. I really appreciate the active community and I am a customer and I am delighted to have chosen Gearbest.
I've known this fantastic store a few months ago, since then I can not help but I have bought over 20 electronic products from them and not only that, they have access to really great products from the spectacular price-performance ratio. Orders are sent out quickly and offer many shipping methods. Staff pre-and post-sale fast enough in user feedback. Recommended for purchasing at great prices.
(For example, I bought in September the Xiaomi Mi box TV international version with order number W**************, received in a working week, with great packaging, fantastic product and highly recommended, great TV box with android TV and with the Xiaomi brand warranty.)
I wanted to share my experience in total sincerity and honesty with other users to let you know the great store prices and give others the opportunity to buy unbeatable quality products
I already bought two products on GearBest, a keyboard - Motospeed CK104 -, which has got some great overall reviews and that I'm very satisfied with, and a phone, the Xiaomi Mi MIX, the famous true borderless kickstarter after the Sharp Aquos. The phone is great to use and all my packages came in a good time, of around a month (which is very good for Brazil) and I've heard the shippinh times are even lower for other countries. I'm overall very pleased with the Gearbest service and would definitely buy again.
Excelente serviço, preços baixos, boas descriçoes do produto. Dependendo do produto o serviço de entrega é o dentro anunciado, muito bom...
Estou muito contente e satisfeito, recomendo.
I just love Motorola devices, but in my country it so expencive. I used Redmi phone.
But - I go to Gearbest store and. I was so happy when I saw price for Moto Z Play! It was twice cheaper than in Ukraine! I bought it and now I have my favorite phone for best price!
Before it I bought so many goods in Gearbest, but my Moto Z Play was the start of my loving to this store!
I was always satisfied with items received from gearbest. They provide shipping with tracking number for minimal fee and use reliable packing. Would recomand this website.
I have make several orders in Gearbest since I started online shopping, every package they have send me has been as nice as the product page says it is, or even better!. Also, the shipping is faster than other websites, I live in Mexico and got one of my packages in 12 days!
Im gonna buy a smartphone in the next days, thanks gearbest!
Gearbest is an Chinese website and I absolutely love Gearbest. I am very happy shopping with GB. It has all the cool stuff that I have dreamt of as a child. The coolest part of Gearbest is the products sold here are very cheap and high quality. I have made almost 8 orders from gearbest. Unfortunately for one of the, the package got lost in its way and never made it to my home. This is where gearbest won my heart, I have placed an order for a fitband and opted for a free shipping. Losing the hope of receiving the product, I have raised a ticket in GB just to inform GB that I lost my package. Wasn't expecting anything back from GB. But soon next day GB responds that they will re-send the package for free as part of customer satisfaction. Coming to the product quality there is not even a single product that I have brought from GB and regretted buying it. Though it may be the price factor/Product quality/Shipping time GB always tops.
I've started buying on Gearbest this year and i've made quiet a lot of orders. Usually everything is ok with goods and delivery, but sometimes problems happen because there is nothing ideal in this world :) And when something is wrong i just open a ticket and the support team solves the situation in the best way possible. Every time! I'm really impressed with their customer support level!
Best regards

I bought many products of this page and never got a problem, the last product I bought was a Tronxy X3S and was a very fast delivery, all in conditions.
Muy buena tienda, buenos precios y buena experiencia de usuario, todo lo que he comprado me ha llegado a tiempo y cumple las espectativas, lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que quiera empezar a comprar en linea
Great shop. With great deals and excellent customer service. I recommend! I have a good experience there.
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.
