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.

In spite of this was just my very first experience of shopping in this store, I'm sure that the highest level of service I had a chance to meet doesn't depend on whether you're a kind of newcomer or a regular customer. By and large, everything was impeccable at every single step starting with ticking the goods I was looking for, choosing the way for delivery and payment (happily there's a great vatiety of them both so everyone can be rest assured they'll find the one that fit them the best) and ending with the receipt of the goods in a very short time (the delivery to my particular area - St. Petersburg, RU - took approx. A couple of weeks that's actually a good score). Delivered safe and sound. The quality of the product does not cause any complaints as well. What else is needed? :)

GearBest has a great selection of the latest tech. I've bought many drones, cameras, and mobile phones from them, always at the best prices, and with free delivery worldwide, that can't be beaten for those of us in smaller countries. Everything has been well packed, and in good condition. One faulty item (USB-C cable) was replaced free of charge with no quibbling. Very happy with this store!

As the title says, Gearbest has become in the last months my favorite place where to buy electronic devices etc. I never had a particular problem with them with my almost 20 orders. Shippings to Italy are between 10/15 days (including weekends) for Priority line and 15/25 for normal Post delivery. Products have a very competitive price and the store is always full of good deals. Their GB Points system is cool, so that every time you place an order, you get a little (cumulative) discount for the next one.
I totally recommend this store!

gearbest.com is a great online store
October 30, 2017

I've bought several items from gearbest.com (xiaomi gadgets, toys, headphones etc) and I am really satisfied with all the purchases. This shop has very low prices, great sales and good customer service.
Average shipping time (from China to Europe) is about 2-3 weeks, which I think is OK.

I would definitely recommend buying ongearbest.com.

Excellent TabletPC
October 30, 2017

Half a year ago I've ordered Jumper EZpad 6 M6 Tablet PC with case. Order number is W**************. Only month passed and I received it! Now 6 month passed I can finally give my opinion about this product. Jumper EZpad 6 M6 is the best Tablet PC ever made! Metal aluminium body, bright big 11" screen, Intel Atom inside - this make the Tablet PC awesome. No freezes during using Jumper, excellent time of the battery life and powerful Intel Cherry Trail processor - what can be better? And the price of the Jumper Tablet PC with leather case with suede inside was extremely low -- only 119.99$! In my country for this price you can buy only old notworking phone. Gearbest made me happy with this Tablet PC and I recommend that product and Gearbest shop to everyone.

Excellent Site
October 30, 2017

Gearbest would show up in ads for a long time, but I was a bit hesitant to buy. It´s low prices tempted me and I placed an order which was completed fast and without any problems. Since then it is my first choice. There is always something on sale. Up to now all the deliveries have been reliable and the products genuine, so from me it gets 5 stars.

Very often I get on the shares and sales of many goods interesting me.
What is particularly excellent, prices similar to gearbest are no longer in any store on the Internet.
I am extremely grateful to the administration for things that otherwise I would never have been able to acquire.
I highly recommend it to everyone!

Z69 3G RAM + 32G ROM TV Box
October 30, 2017

Hello, I come here to leave my experience of buying in the gearbest store, this was the 4 purchase I made on the site, I live in Brazil and considering the distance and service provided by the post office hence the product arrived too fast to me, packed. I come to thank and congratulate the store for doing an excellent job. All the purchases I have made so far have never had any problems, on the contrary, they have always been very helpful and they take all the doubts that I have, it also offers us points that we can use as a discount, which I think is incredible. I come to thank the work they do, thanks to them I was able to buy an excellent product for a very low price, I am totally satisfied with the product, which met all my expectations.

Great selection of items
October 27, 2017

Great selection of items. Great prices. Delivery usually quicker than similar sites. Customer service are quicker to reply than similar sites.

A quick search around forums will find promotion codes, so saving even more.

Dropped 1 star because product descriptions can have mistakes and getting a refund for wrongly ordered items is difficult. Refunds for faulty items are usually trouble free. I recommend always paying with PayPal and not having refunds go to your GearBest wallet. This way you can always contact PayPal to resolve disputes.

Hello

As i am writing this i have made over 15 orders at gearbest and so far i only have nice words to them.

Every order has arrived in time, and the only time i had a problem with a missing item in a 31 piece action cam accessory pack, they quickly took care of the issue with a satisfying compensation besides the shipping of the missing part.

The buying process is simple and they normally ship the item next day, its easy to track it during transport.

There is always room to improve but i think that in a global way they are on a good path.

October 27, 2017

One of the best shops for online shopping. Huge selection of products, many categories. Several delivery options, including FREE. Adequate and responsive support, ready to solve your possible problems with the purchase. Very often there are discounts on popular goods that you can buy MORE cheaper. Best prices on ******* flashlights. I'm happy with this shop and recommend to others.

Do not buy from Gearbest
October 26, 2017

I have placed an order for 2 Xiaomi MI Note 2 International version on the 22nd of September and I have received 1 month later 2 phones in Chinese version. After 2 weeks of claims and ticket messages sent to the customer service Gearbest has not proposed a solution yet that do not cause a money loss to me.
In other words, if Gearbest makes a mistake, the customer has to pay the shipment back and there is no refund for Customs cost.
Gearbest is the worst on-line seller of the World also because the negative reviews are not shown on the web site, so customers cannot know how Gearbest really bad works
