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.

Only good things to say!
May 23, 2017

"I've been shopping at Gearbest for about two years now and, so far, I've got no complains. I've received almost everything in great condition. The only problem I had was with one smartphone, that came with the rear camera module dead, and by contacting Gearbest support and showing them my problem, they've refunded me part of the cost so I could change the camera. It went perfectly, just as agreed with them. I do recommend Gearbest to do your shopping online."

I've bought several things at gearbest, they come with good quality and good price. The package is very good as well. The support is always there for any doubts and it's great that they accept paypal as well.

The items i bought arrive on time, and the fact I could check other useres reviews is very apreeciated.

The points system and sales value the costumer which is nice.

I would like to share with everyone about my experience with Gearbest.
I am shopping the last 1 year and every order i purchased is trully a pleasant.

Gearbests customer service is the best one from what i faced until now.
Shipping as always is fast (maximu 12h from the purchase) and the delivery is also fast.

No issue at all, quality of service, quality of the products that they sell + the fact that Gearbest is always cheapest that anyone.

I use once. I bought 5 things everything else was ok, shipping ok, prices ok, BUT
I ordered a BaseCamp BC-425 which is stated in their site as 80 Lumens. When it arrived i discovered that in the manual the stated lumens was 50 Lumens.
(I wouldn't have bought it in the first place, i had something similar i wanted more power)
I contacted service, which wanted a photo of the manual from me (which is absurd since they sale the product, they have the manual) but i send them anyway. To make a long story sort after a few tickets back and forth nothing happens. They didn't even change the specs in the product, they still today more than two months later.
And because i had posted a ticket they will not let me post a review for the item too, so i could write there the actual specifications for the careful consumer to see.
So they don't mind about their customers and the validity of their descriptions of the products as long as the money comes in.
Bad practice GearBest, i hope shops like yours close down!

I´m a truly satisfied portuguese Gearbest customer since 2015. Since i've found this online store, i bought all my gadgets at Gearbest: Smartphones, smartwatches, a tablet pc, a mini pc, bluetooth speakers and a lot of stuff. Why do i prefere this store? The prices are amazing, comparing to other stores, the customer support is very good and deliveries are made in reasonable or fast time, depending if i bought from China or UK wharehouses. When i buy from UK wharehouse items arrive in 3 or 4 days! All my items arrived in good conditions and with priority line, from China, my goods never stopped in customs authority.
Definitely, i recommend this store.
Great buying experience with Gearbest!

Envío muy rápido
May 23, 2017

Pues ya hace mucho tiempo que compro en Gearbest. La conozco desde hace mucho y desde la primera vez que me decidí a comprar ahí he tenido muy buenas experiencias. Hace unos meses implementaron el sistema de envío "Spain Express" o "Local Express" y los paquetes me suelen llegar en una media de 10 días y sin ningún problema de aduanas. El servicio postventa también se comporta muy bien y suelen responder rápidamente. A eso se le suma el poder pagar con Paypal.

Llevo mas de dos años comprando en GEARBEST diferentes tipos de productos, entre ellos muchos móviles, el ultimo por cierto una ganga. El envío siempre muy rápido, gratuito y seguro desde china, con la posibilidad de comprar muchos producto con envío desde España.
En alguna mínima ocasión tuve algún problema con el producto y tras contactar con atención al cliente me lo resolvieron siempre de forma satisfactoria. Recomiendo sin duda la tienda para tus compras.
