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.

I ordered an action camera and never received it. When i messaged they said it was lost by the carrier and they where not responsible. They offered to refund me half my money or pay again for the item and they will ship it. All because i didnt purchase insurance. How convenient for them huh. Heres what they said:

Gearbest Customer Support At10/19/2017 00:12:45

Dear Rolando,

We apologize for this delay and sincerely regret to hear that you have not received your order.
After reviewing your order in detail, we have found that you haven't purchased any insurance during the check-out. Please understand that in such case we can only compensate you partially.

The shipping company is actually responsible for this loss which is sadly beyond our control.

However, as you are a valuable customer, we are willing to help you the best way we possibly can.
Here are the best solutions we can offer you in this situation:
1) Resend the item upon repaying 50% of the order value.
In this case we will send you an invoice to submit the payment of 72USD via PayPal.
Please confirm your exact shipping address in this format:
Consignee Name:
Detailed Address:
City:
State (Province):
Postal Code:
Country:
Phone Number:

2) Partial refund to your Wallet as store credit.
We can refund 72USD as a gesture of good will to your Wallet and exceptionally reward you with extra points (You will receive 2 points for every 1 USD. For example 3 USD will gain you 6 points).

You can use both your Wallet and points to purchase your future products.

3) Partial refund to your original payment account.
In this case, we can refund 72USD to your origin
Al payment account.

Kindly let us know your decision.
Once again we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Best Regards
Danae

Gearbest is in my experience currently one of the best online stores. The website itself is clear and easy to navigate. I appreciate avaibility of various filters. The store has wide offer of items for best prices available. Plus you will get good support and you can trust that your order is in good hands. On the top of that there are various discounts availible, coupons, credits... Just perfect!

I have made several orders, shipping time is good (circa two weeks in average with time on customs office included). Goods always came intact, tracking was provided.

Gearbest is one of the best online shopping website. Their APP is amazing and you get more Discount buying with it.
So far I haven't faced any issues with any of my orders. They have always the best prices of everything that I'm looking for.
The delivery time is great, I loved their services and pricing.
Delivery time is usually 15-25 days with free shipping but you can always opt for quick delivery with a little shipping cost.
I have made 6 orders so far, Last Order Number: W**************
A happy Gearbest customer! :)

I want to tell you about Gearbest. My most expensive order on this site was the cellphone Xiaomi redmi note 4x (Order number: W**************), which was delivered in 15 days. I liked the reliable packaging and fast shipping. I also want to say that the site prices are lower than competitors. I often buy different trinkets in this store and they are all delivered on time. I like Gearbest, and I recommend it to everyone.

Уже больше года работаю с этим магазином, сделал более 50 заказов в нем. Пока что все устраивает, заказы доставляются быстро, в среднем 15-20 дней, приходит все в целости и сохранности, упаковывают хорошо, если возникают какие то вопросы, то поддержка отвечают оперативно. Покупал телефон 11 сентября, получил его 3 октября, телефон дошел за 21 день, что очень хорошо! Так же в магазине проходит большое количество различных акций и распродаж которые, помогают хорошо сэкономить. Очень доволен! Всем рекомендую!

It took 10 days my order to be shipped. It could have taken more if I didn't submit a ticket. Half of the ordered goods were out of stock but I was not notified. I accepted the other half to be shipped and to be refunded for the rest. The action of refund is already taking 10 days.
