On SmartCustomer, businesses may not offer incentives or pay to remove reviews. Learn more about our Review Guidelines.
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'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.
You can easily find the items you looking for, the prices are fair, the delivery time is fast the most of the time, and they have good customer support.
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!
Loja de confiança e prestativa a qualquer eventualidade que aconteça. Já efetuei 4 compras e nenhuma tive problemas. Recomendo!
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!
I´ve bought much articles on gearbest, all work fine.
Fast shipping an nice prices, much flash sales. I love GearBest
I have to say I love this eshop! However, the point that you earned you can use for many orders and buy it more cheaper than before. Order number: WB************** was Xiaomi Bluetooth V4.1 Hands Free Earphone for Smartphones is very usefull for offices, high product guality or when you want work with. I recommended!
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.
If you are planning to buy something from China, and the brands they have, GearBest it's your option, insanely huge list of products, good shipment policy and PayPal payment!
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.
MiScale purchase on GearBest was my first experience with this seller. Link to item: http://www.gearbest.com/home-gadgets/pp_*******.html
Item was purchased on Nov, 23 2016. It tooks about 3 week to reach Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Item was delivered right to appartments. Package was good, scales was in working condition (however no battaries was included - however it was expected from item description).
Scales is still working and used by me every day.
I'm using Gearbest since 21st July 2016 and untill now i have many orders from there.In mine experience there was no problem with any item and they are offering one of the most quality items for their price.
I suggested their site for many of my friends and any of them are satisfied.
Uma loja compromissada com seus clientes, muito honrada, recomendo, pois eu mesmo tinha muito receio e a Gearbest me mostrou que isso era bobeira minha. Uma loja que hoje sempre to sempre comprando algo. Preços excelentes.
I ordered different tanks and atomizers as well as some tweezers.
Everything was delivered as I ordered it and everything works fine.
The delivery speed was fast and I could see where my delivery was.
The costumer service is very friendly and due to the good experience I have ordered 7 times now and can recommend gearbest.
Ordered the tablet in store Gearbest. It's pretty quality product ordered Cube iwork1x 2 in 1 Tablet PC order 16,2017 number: W************** Came in the mail within 3 weeks. Great quality tablet. Very pleased that all that was in the description matches.
Gearbest is the best site for online shopping i have ever experienced. It's the only one i trust. I have bought watches, memory sticks and keyring.
Answer: Some people will get their products, some will not. Some will get what they expected and some will not. I got my products but one was not what they promised and one broke after a few seconds of use. They still continue to use wrong information on their website even though they admitted to me that it is not correct. I wrote a review on their web site about the product that broke after a few seconds of use and they blocked it so it still looks like the product only has positive reviews. You can see pictures and read more on my own web site that I created for telling my experience about GearBest: http://GearBestreview.azurewebsites.net
Answer: Dont really matter mate, regardless, what they do if does not arrive, they will not refund, they offer to resend at your cost. Then you do Paypal dispute, they refuse to refund unless you close the case, if you close the case, Paypal will not help. In my circumstances Paypal decided in my favour and refunded, but dragged on, avoid this company in future, Bangood better
Answer: Dear Iain, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.gearbest.com/ Our colleague will reply you in 24 hours! We are sorry that the live chart is some buzy, as many people contact over the world. So that may need customers to wait a little linger for their turn. Gearbest.com
Answer: Yes Adam, did you pay with PayPal? If Then contact PayPal and claim your money back and stat away from gearbest, they lied to me and now i an trying to get my 100 dollars back. There is a reason that they are NOT on eBay... So my advice to everyone is to stay far away from this socalled Company... No mail, no adress, no phone?
Answer: They are legit, just ridiculously slow in shipping. I waited 1.5 months for my "rush" order. It was shipped out in multiple pacakges and arrived at different times.
Answer: Same here, after 3months of waiting for my order and many conversations in an email ticket which went on for 1month they promised me to refund me via paypal. No refund and nothing heard from them since almost 2weeks. Keep writing here people, I hope lotz of people read it and gearbest goes bankrupt very soon
Answer: You can try the Better Business Bureau like I did however they never responded to them either, they did respond to the tickets I opened up on their site but the replies weren't of much use and not very helpful.
Answer: I wouldn't. It's been three months and I still don't have my order and their customer service is terrible. They just keep telling tryouts to wait longer.
Answer: I would advise you to stear clear. If the site does not let you order with free shipping then you have dodged a bullet. I got free shipping but the product was damaged an only fit for resting your cup on they offered a refund less the first shipping that was ment to be free or a replacement. As it cost 25 pounds to send back to resolve the matter I chose to except the replacement it came and was just as bad a tablet as the first. Take my advice and run a mile. Hope this gives you an idea what the company is like. Run run run a mile mate.
