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.
Gear best it's more $#*! company. You did not waste money on that unimaginable Chinese. And the site manager is a poor, tells me I did not pay insurance. I hope to disappear as soon as possible. I can not give less than one star, they deserve minus infinite.

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.
Ordered repeatedly in this store orders are shipped quickly and on time, parcels are well packaged. The store responds quickly and correctly. I recommend to buy at this store
Order N°: W************** ( Mar 20,2017)
If i have to buy something from China i'll always choose Gearbest.com because this website is fantastic! They have a fast shipping service without custom taxes. The items in this order arrived also well packed and in sealed condition.
I'm really very satisfied.
Best prices
Very good quality
Good shipping service
I ordered the "48 Color Children Drawing Pencil Stationery Kit"
The shipping was uncomplicated and very fast
The product was not expensive but not cheap
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!

Come sempre spedizione rapida e puntuale, oggetto perfetto e conforme alla descrizione. Effettuo acquisti da sempre su gearbest, il TOP!
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+++
I bought several products
Smartphone, vacuum cleaner, cover
Everything is great, fast shipping, good prices
I have made many purchases and everything has gone great, the attention is fast, the shipments have improved a lot since I know the store, the products arrive in excellent condition and just as the descriptions say
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.
I am happy that I dealt with GearBest two years passed and I bought him a commodity more than wonderful and cheap two
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.
I buy at the gearbest because I find an excellent online store, excellent prices, I never had problems with my purchases, have excellent customer support, orders are well packaged and packaged, I can do traking of my order, I recommend it to me is 100%.
Ottimo sito dove fare acquisti, i prodotti descritti originali lo sono davvero, hanno ottimi prezzi, spediscono molto velocemente
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.
