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.

Según mi experiencia personal con gearbest, recomiendo esta tienda al 100%

Poseen una extensa variedad de productos electrónicos de una buena calidad y un excelente precio para el bolsillo del consumidor. También poseen diferentes métodos de pago y muchas opciones de envío.

Su atención al cliente y servicio técnico son muy buenos y con respecto a los productos que yo he comprado los he recibido sin ningún problema o daño.

The website states free shipping so I ordered something. 10 days later I get an e-mail stating they cannot do free shipping I have to pay more money to have it shipped. So now if I want what I ordered I have to pay DHL price and customs. I just want what I ordered at the terms that is advertised. Very sad that this company has chosen to do a bait and switch on consumers.

Soldering Iron Bakon BK950D
May 8, 2017

Number order W**************
A good combination of materials and design, making it convenient to use a soldering iron. Iron T12 makes its heat to the desired temperature in seconds. The benefits also include - easy operation, separate the on button, a small form. Of the minuses - a primitive stand for soldering iron, strange noises in the power supply, there is no stated capacity of 70 watts, only a maximum of 50 watts. Definitely recommend to buy, after simple processing can get fully working tool.
Shop sent goods very quickly

I'm a usual buyer at Gearbest store. Have more than 20 orders at it and never had a problem.
The costumer service is usually great at fixing small issues, like questions about compatibility and knowledge sharing.
You shoud be confident about buying at Gearbest, the prices are usually the most affordable you can get, and have a large variety of products.

BE AWARE OF THIS WEBSITE, THEY ARE ACTUALLY UNRELIABLE.
I totally paid for the order and It was supposed to be a birthday gift for My kid so had to get it on time, but after one week, They avoided to ship the item without letting me know or sending me any messages. I contacted customer service and asked for the reason for delay and They said I have to pay for the tax and they didn't even know how much it's gonna cost me and It's not even specified in what date I could get My order!
They just gave me a choice to cancel the order and get the refund without paying for the foreign transaction fee which I paid and was around $3!
After passing two weeks, I'm still waiting for My money!

I started to give them only 4 stars because 2 of my orders lacked tracking data. But then I recalled that when they were out of a hot item (X251) for over a month, I had to repeatedly beg them NOT to refund my money. They even offered to give me 2 times the dollar amount in store credit!

Other discount stores may have slightly better prices; but they give you headaches or they try to keep your money. GearBest IsBest.

I often buy online from China, but I have to say that with Gearbest I've had a very good experience.
Good products, excellent service and fast and trackable shipping.
Another good thing is the possibility to pay with paypal.
Absolutely A+++

May 7, 2017

I've ordered on Gearbest quite a few times and have always been satisfied. I've tried other international online retailers, but have found Gearbest to be the best when taking service, value, and pricing into consideration. Will be buying from them more and more over the years, I suspect.

Ho comprato in passato su siti cinesi ma i prodotti sono sempre arrivati dopo tanto tempo e in alcuni casi non sono neanche arrivati.
Gearbest invece, scegliendo la spedizione "Italy Express", ti fa arrivare la merce con BRT (ex Bartolini) in 10 giorni e soprattutto senza nessuna spesa di dogana.
Ho comprato già diverse cose tra cui anche uno smartphone, lo consiglio veramente a tutti.

Long doubted this store (usually took on Ali). I made a couple of not expensive purchases, everything came trouble. Then went on increasing - made more expensive. All orders came so quickly. Especially blogging that the store always goes to meet the buyer if the product does not meet the requirements or was stolen, my money has always returned to me without any disputes.
The only negative for me is the bad packaging of the goods, everything goes cleanly in the original packaging without additional protection.
While I'm buying in this store because the price remains the most attractive among others from China.
