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.

Gearbest sito fantastico
September 24, 2019

Gearbest è un sito davvero fantastico. Per quanto riguarda soprattutto l'elettronica mi affido sempre a Gearbest. I prezzi sono sempre i migliori e la qualità dei prodotti è sempre molto alta. Si possono accumulare punti da poter poi usare come sconti per tutti gli ordini che si effettuano sul sito. Lo uso da anni e devo dire che non ho mai avuto problemi con i miei ordini e la loro spedizione. Davvero un sito affidabile e conveniente.

Cheap and good tech stuff
September 23, 2019

I'm a relatively old client of theirs and never had an issue with them. I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi 9T from them which I received in two weeks, and it's been my daily driver since. They are a truly great place to buy tech related stuff from.

Give Gearbeast a try... it's worth it
September 23, 2019

I have been buying on Gearbest for a good amount of years so far. I heard about it around 4 or 5 years ago and curious as i am i decided to give it a try because of the good prices and the free shipping it has.
After years of shopping i can say Gearbest is an amazing store and it also has very good quality product. The shipping time is a bit long but it's really not a problem if you aren't in a hurry.
The support center is great and the few times i had problems or some issue showed up they promptly found a solution or fixed it. Not to mention the several flash deals or discounts or coupon or special offer such as Christmas, Easter and many others were you can find amaing deals!
I am really satisfied and i can only suggest you to start buying from it... you won't be disappointed, you can trust me! ;)

I started buying on Gearbest for the cheap prices on stupid gadgets, like 3 dollars automated cabinet lights... and I ended up buying 300-500 dollars phones and Notebooks from them!
Really great quality service: 90% of the time they ship the item in less than 24 hours, a lot of choices of different shipping methods, from 5-6 days to the free 30 days one, excellent customer service just in case you have a defective item, with fast answers and pleasant resolution.

Really really buy with confidence. Great website.

Worst experience ever. Avoid Gearbest at all cost. I ordered X8 Earbud and did not receive it for a month. Their support assured me that it will be shipped very shortly but another month has passed and nothing... The explanation given after 2 months waiting was that it was sold faster than expected LOL.

Do not buy from here!
September 20, 2019

Gearbest are great if you receive what you've ordered and all is well.
However, if you have a problem, customer service is absolutely appalling. No one thinks they will be the one that receives a Chinese phone instead of the English phone they ordered, which is what happened to us Gearbest are very good at taking your money, in our case our 13 year olds Christmas and birthday money, but are extremely dishonourable when it comes to refunding their mistake, they have made every effort to prevent a refund, latest is a partial refund in dollars when we paid in pounds, with us having to pay the to and from pay postage to Alicante. We thought we'd be okay and we'd get what we'd ordered, but if you look through the reviews, this is a common theme for people who try to return products. Remember, it could be you!

Gearbest order number: **************777 (31/03/2019)
I purchased a backpack for my laptop, after about two weeks it was delivered to me in Italy by the courier and the product fully satisfied me.
I have been shopping on Gearbest for more than one year and I had no issue regarding my orders till now.
Every time I asked questions, via chat or TT, I always received answers in a very short time.
Prices are low and sometimes you can find coupons, flash sale and discounts that allow you to save more money.
I usually pay with PayPal without any problems.

Like GEARBEST

I have several years expirience using Gearbest. So far my emotions and satisfaction are at appropriate level to continue using Gearbest. They have very interesting offers in very wide spectrum of products. Generally products offer good value for money. Gearbest have coupons, points system, flash deals and other specific ways to find quite low prices. Even in the case of delivery problem solution is always simple and efficient. Communication with customer service is polite and focused. All in all Gearbest is my favorite eshop.
