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.

Great!
May 11, 2017

I bought a Xiaomi MI5 phone at an incredible price! At first I was a bit worried because it was the first time I ordered a phone from China, and I spent a bit more than 210... but everything went fine: no customs problem, with the tracking number I checked regularly where my parcel was, and it was delivered in short time! I had a great experience buying on Gearbest, I'll do it again very soon!

I received an order with these wonderful batteries surprisingly fast, shipping to my country took only 20 days. (I know that in many cases the goods must pass the waiting at the customs and the process is delayed). The goods was carefully packed.
To the quality there are no complaints, the original yellow high-current LG HE4 with sufficient capacity. Used for vaping.
Thanks to seller, thanks to Gearbest, I am pleased with the order.

In our city is not the best cable TV operator. I always wanted to watch only the best content, but it's not always convenient to watch it on a laptop or phone. Therefore, the choice has fallen on the TV set-top box! I was looking for a TV set-top box in my city, but the prices were biting and selling models only with old processors that do not support 4K and H265. So I started searching on the Internet! After a long search, the choice fell on the GearBest store and the "Mini M8S II 4K Smart TV Box Android" console (http://ru.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_*******.html). I immediately ordered it, adding a mouse with a flash drive to the basket! Order to my country came very quickly. Prefix tuned and now online I watch chic content in FullHD quality. 4K movies have to be downloaded before watching, because the speed of the Internet in my city does not allow watching 4K movies online. This is my real and objective experience. Herbest fulfilled my dream, everything is here! GearBest - cool store for advanced people!

I have been buying this store for more than 3 years. All my goods were original and in stock. Always very fast delivery (in Ukraine delivers NovaPosta). Customer Support always solves any issues in the shortest time. The best store in China (My last order: W************** (LiitoKala Lii - 100, Baseus Yaven Series 1m Data Cable 8 Pin, Baseus Yiven 8 Pin Data Charging Braided Cable 1.2M))

This is an objetive experience I want to share with other people. I have bought several items in this chinese store and at the moment I'm very satisfied. I have bought RC toys, a vacuum cleaner, lights, a SSD hard drive,... without any problem. I also bought a Chuwi tablet pc and it didn't work. I got in touch with Gearbest Customer Service and they told me to return the tablet to China (this is the cons, you have to return the item to china and it takes about 200 days and you have to pay the shipping costs). Once they have received it I had my full refund.
You can pay with Paypal and other metods and they have free shipping in most items. The shipment takes about 15 days to arrive in Spain. An order never arrived and geabest refunded the money

Ésta es una opinión objetiva sobre mi experiencia comprando en Gearbest y la quiero compartir con otra gente. He comprado varios artículos en esta tienda china y por el momento estoy muy satisfecho. He comprado juguetes de radio control, un robot aspirador, linternas y lámparas, un disco duro SSD,... sin ningún problema. También compré una tablet PC Chuwi y no funcionó. Me puse en contacto con el servicio de atención al cliente de Gearbest y me dijeron que devolviera la tableta a China (ese es el inconveniente, tienes que devolver el producto a China, lo que supone unos 20 días, y pagar el coste del envío). En cuanto la recibieron me devolvieron el dinero.
Se puede pagar con Paypal y con otros métodos y tienen envío gratuito en la mayoría de los artículos. El envío tarda unos 15 días en llegar a España (puede ser algo menos pero también retrasarse más). Un pedido no me llegó nunca, reclamé y Gearbest me devolvió el dinero.

These guys are terrible. Don't waste your time. They do a bait and switch offering a deal that they can't actually sell and then fabricate a line that the factory can't fill the order and they are extremely sorry. However, they then give you a credit on your account which can be used to conveniently buy the same thing you originally ordered for twice the price. During this process they also requested payment verification through a photocopy of your drivers license and credit card. I also found they have an "F" rating with the BBB. Terrible... just terrible.

An excellent Chinese store
May 9, 2017

I have been using this site for 2 years and never had any problems.In general, happy with the site, good prices, there is free delivery with a track when ordering from 40 dollars. There is a system of charging points for orders and reviews. Delivery is an average of 14 days, which is good. Once came the brace tablet, but quickly resolved all the questions. I wish the site promotion and good prices for its customers
