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.

Reliably good
November 22, 2017

I discovered GearBest about 9 months ago and since then I have placed at least 30 orders and this is my personal experience so far: Fast shipping (10-12 days on average) and well packaged, if they say a product is original, then it is (I haven't had an authenticity check fail on me once).
I love their wide selection of products at very good prices. When you have a question the customer service is quick to respond. I honestly cannot think of any issues with GearBest, it is by far my favorite webshop and I have no problem recommending it to my friends and other people.

Good store, good support
November 21, 2017

Gearbest has been a very valuable shopping site for me. For a couple of years it has served me well finding products I use on my daily life and my hobbies.
Despite having had some issues with some orders, everything has been solved effectively by Gearbest Service Support.

Good shop with eletronics
November 21, 2017

Gearbest is a great partner in doing shopping. I bought there many of my electronic stuff and all of them come to me in perfect condition. Shipping time was maximum 20 days.

I live in Poland and almost all of items on Gearbest are cheaper than in my local shops.

Totally recommend!

The items that I order are of nice quality and fit the purpose - really slim iphone cases. What I like is the pretty fast delivery in Europe. I had ordered around 10 times and always received the products in good condition and not at the postal office, but at the address. Cool!

Excellent shop.
November 20, 2017

Excellent shop.
I came across the Gearbest site looking through the Internet in search of various useful and necessary things from China. It turned out in the Gearbest store to do it very conveniently, since all the goods are in one place and are sent by the same package. When shopping, I really liked that every time the goods were delivered in the shortest possible time, and each invoice contains a bill of lading.
Separately, I want to note the price policy, it is very loyal and flexible. Especially pleasing is the set of discounts and low prices for quick purchases.
All these moments only spur interest and desire to continue to buy in Gerabest.

The best chinese store
November 20, 2017

I found Gearbest a few years ago looking for some nice gadgets on a good price. Many merchants from entirely world basically imports goods from China then resell them on a high price. They offer local guarantees anyway but buying gadgets on small prices like Gearbest does it's not a big thing. I highly recommend Gearbest because of their good prices (anyway, not the smallest on the chinese market) but because their quality products and reward purchase points. Basically it's easy to buy some cheap products, make some reward points then buy an expensive one using reward points. I buy from them many products, cheap one but also expensive ones (the last buyied is an Umidigi S2 phone). The only problem like any store from China is long waiting delivery (about 1 month) but reported to low prices it's not a big deal.

Always the best
November 20, 2017

I have bought around 12 smarthpones on gearbest.
Always had no problem at all.
Using italy express as currier, i never paid fees.
Once i had a problem with a smartphone: gearbest offered me a great solution and i was glad of that.
I think gearbest is the best for the price, for the assistance and you can buy really everything.
I will always buy on this site.

One of the worst online shopping experience. Not sure if their customer service is so bad or due to my ticket was assigned to a particular support officer. The officer always try to avoid responsibilities and not helpful in answering my question, I had bought expedite shipping on 01 Nov and till now it has not arrived.

At first the officer stated I needed to wait patiently as not it was untraceable from DHL website when it shown in Gearbest website as shipped out, it only became traceable a week upon the status.

However unfortunately after two weeks++ of long waiting it was detained at the custom.

Hence I found out the detained reason from DHL and decided to check with the customer service officer again, through the ticket, the officer stated that the delivery address is un-deliverable. The truth is, the address was used in many online shopping occasions and successfully received through DHL, the real reason is the custom status, however apparently the officer didn't bother to find out and stated that the insurance I purchased did not include address mistake clause, which really pissed me off.

Strongly not recommend gearbest to all, frankly speaking... first time experience with gearbest, the last one too..
