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 store GearBest!
November 23, 2017

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**************

Fraud
November 22, 2017

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.

Gearbest Excellent Store
November 22, 2017

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.

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
