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.

Искал интернет магазин подходящий по нескольким критериям: работает с Россией, различные варианты оплаты, выбор способа доставки. Выбор пал на Gearbest, в чём нисколько не разочаровался.

Оплатил картой, заказ быстро упаковали и выслали. Стоимость покупки с учётом страховки и платной доставки вышла значительно дешевле, чем в местных магазинах.

Sempre compro produtos importados da Gearbest, para mim é a melhor loja, desde o atendimento até a entrega do produto. Recomendo para qualquer um que deseja comprar algo fora do brasil. Gearbest a melhor loja de todas.

Fast and reliable shipping
May 19, 2017

I've been shopping with them for about a year now, and they never disappointed me. Customer service is fast and pro-active. Payment is easy with PayPal. Shipping is fast as well, they ship from own stock, so they are fast. Transit time is also very good

I have bought many gadgets from Gearbest, such as car gadgets, toys, microphones, a recorder and even now a camera and the SD card. Since the beginning, all items arrived within the projected time, came in good condition, nothing faulty and all perfectly working.

It's cheap and safe. Once I ordered something that was not able to ship and I got my money back in 2 days.

The site has a lot of variety and it helped me find stuff that I did not find in my country without having to empty my wallet.

Another thing I like is that all products have detailed descriptions, user's reviews and FAQ so I know what I am buying.

I live in Bosnia Herzegovina and usually orders from China take too long to arrive, but with Gearbest I haven't got that problem. They even redirect my orders to Europe for faster delivery. There are plenty of flash sales if you visit regularly, and there are options for secure shipment and several ways of delivering ordered items. Really great team, IMHO.

GOOD market place
May 18, 2017

My first order was for a smart watch.
It was a good quality stuff.
Shipping is a little long ( 2 weeks minimum) but free.

Ma première commande: un montre podometre.
Bonne qualité.
La livraison est un peu longue (minimum 2 semaines) mais vu qu'elle est gratuite, ce n'est pas très grave.

One of the best Chinese stores.
May 18, 2017

About 30 orders, all delivered. One order did not come, after contacting the store immediately resubmitted. Today this product has already been received. I like the system of discounts and accumulation of points. Thanks to this, you can purchase goods much more profitable than in other stores. A huge range of goods.

Hi,

Gearbest customer support got back to me and eventually offered me a reasonable partial refund to keep the tent they sent. It ended acceptably and I'm glad they responded well.

Until this last purchase I have been happy with GearBest. I have bought a cell phone and several other small items and they have been as advertised at a good price.

This purchase was for a camping tent that cost about $100, including shipping. The tent I ordered was just what I wanted for camping in windy and wet conditions.

Gearbest sent me a different tent that was roughly the same size, but did not have the features I needed. It is clear from the box that it is a different tent, but there was no label with the SKU number on the box.

When I complained that the wrong item was sent, I was offered a refund IF I PAID THE SHIPPING, which would cost at least $60, probably more. That is fully understandable if I just didn't like the product, but it was the WRONG item. Not my fault at all.

My other option was to accept the tent they sent but then they only offered me $35 as a partial compensation. That is not enough for me to buy another tent. Gearbest needs to take more responsibility for their suppliers' mistakes.

I'm still hoping we can resolve this in a more satisfactory way.

The experice I have is very good,
In first place, has a very competitive price of their products;
Second, para is trustworthy, wich in my opinion doing online shopping is the most important characteristic when shopping online;
Third, if I have a problem with my product, the customer service is very reliable;
For example, my order come broken due to transportacion damage, and they make sure to solve the problem, and it was very quick solving.
