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 MPOW DS-D6 smartband that worked for a hot minute and died and never came back from the land of the dead. The item was on a flash sale for $4.99. It was shipped from the Netherlands to the US. Delivery took about 2 weeks, which is not bad for the $0.50 shipping fee. The customer service was responsive because they have auto-repliers. The responses are too scripted. I don't think GB's customer support area puts in the time to actually read customer emails. Even after I gave them a detailed description of problem and sent photos, they wanted a video. Honestly, I don't have the time to go through all of that for $4.99.

Even after I rated them a 2. Which is very generous, they never posted my review for the item. Their reviews are moderated. Take a look at the MPOW DS D6. You will notice there are more 4 and 5 star reviews then 1,2 and 3 star reviews. Their 4 and 5 star reviews are duplicated multiple times by the same "reviewer". Not sure if they work on the "inside", but I would be weary of those ratings. I have no idea what part of the world I am dealing with GB. Morale of the story, you get what you pay for, shop domestic.

I ordered some Bluetooth headphones from this shop on 03/08/2019 and received them just 12 days later here in Germany. The product was perfectly packaged and when i asked the support when my product is going to arrive they answered on the same day. Great shop, will buy there again for sure!

An amazing experience
September 15, 2019

With Gearbest I always have a wonderful experience online shopping. All my itens usually arrive early than expected, like it was the case of the Xiaomi Mi A3 i bought as a gift for my girlfriend. Arrived at the expected time, really earlier than the birthday, with no faulty parts. Simply amazing

Digital LCD thermometer from GearBest
September 14, 2019

To do orders on GearBest is very simple. I have "PayPal" account and so it was very simple))). I needed digital thermometer and I have found it on GearBest. I have ordered it 23.11.2018 and after about three weeks I have received my parcel by "Nova Poshta". The quality is normally and the temperatere is right. The discount price was 0.99$. I am very pleased my purchase. Thanks GearBest.

Best online store ever
September 15, 2019

I bought a xiaomi¨smartphone (xiaomi mi 9). I received it to my country in just 5 days by DHL. This is the best phone I ever bought, it's original and the camera quality is stunning. All of this with an unbeatable price: the best price of this product in all Chinese stores. They shipped it 24h after making the order and the payment was through Paypal. I recommend gearbest for you guys.

For everything
September 13, 2019

I really love shopping with Gearbest. They offer a huge catalog of products from all thinkable categories. There is almost nothing you can't find on their site. I started buying components for hobby projects. Now I buy even consumer electronics via Gearbest. They also offer a giant pile of really cool clothing. International shipping is very affordable, sometimes een free. My oreders arrived with no further dely in germany and were well packaged. I only needed their support for one minor occasion, but they are very friendly, competent and most helpful. Thank you, I definitely will return for shopping.

Truly recommended store
September 13, 2019

Gearbest never disappoints me. The wide range of products that it offers is very rich. I am always sure that the Xiaomi products that I buy there are original and there is no room for fakes. Delivery is always fast and the products are very well protected for a long way to Poland. I heartily recommend.
