Many customers report difficulties in receiving refunds, with some waiting over a year without resolution.

Have been purchasing from Gear best since a Year, by far i have no issues with their products, genuine best in class products, with best customer support.
Why cant I get a answer from some one about my order ww************** you have my address? You said 10 to30 days going on 45 days
E' da circa un anno e mezzo che compro da loro, ho fatto più di 40 ordini e non ho mai pagato la dogana. Il sito è molto fornito e il servizio clienti è molto disponibile
GearBest is a great way to buy quality products at cheaper prices.
Never had a problem with my orders.
I made more than 30 orders in the store. Always the goods were of excellent quality and delivery on time. On most goods, prices are lower than those of competitors. One of my orders is a Xiaomi Smart LED Desk Lamp, very bright with a color temperature adjustment and with control from a smartphone.
I personally feel to speak positively of Gearbest, because in three orders I made ( WP**************, WP************** and WB**************), I did not have any problem. Support from the site was very quick and functional and tracking of the products was found to be practically active after a very short time.
Gearbest also always sends a photo of the parcel when it is ready to be shipped, generally at most the day after the order.
Only in one case I chose a non-trackable shipping type, specifically for a waterproof bag for the smartphone.
In spite of this, the product arrived in less than a month, a very short time if we consider how much time is normally needed because products come from China (I live in Italy)
The other 2 products I ordered are two Xiaomi brand products, specifically the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 and the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD earphones.
Gearbest is one of the best Xiaomi brand retailers on the market, and I can confirm the genuineness of the products I've received, always matching the site's description and reflecting very high quality standards.
In addition to this, the main reason why I buy from Gearbest is the low cost of the products, which compared to other stores. Most closely matches the actual prices of the products themselves on the market. Gearbest then offers a lot of interesting discounts on merchandise sold on its website daily. Shipping costs are also very low, and specifically with regard to traceable shipments, the cost of shipping costs is proportional to the basic cost of the product.
To conclude, I strongly advise Gearbest for the purchase of products, especially for the Xiaomi brand
Don't be scared of anyone who talks badly about it, just the fact that Paypal is available as a payment method, it should be synonymous of a secure guarantee.
I finally want to point out that no one has forced me to write this review but it's my target opinion on my experience regarding Gearbest, and I hope will help people with some doubts.
Todo lo que he pedido de la página ha llegado a tiempo y en buen estado, es tiene muy buenos precios y formas de pago muy accesible, la recomiendo completamente.
I am a regular customer of Gearbest and have been ordering many items from them. I find their products to be of great quality compared to other Chinese websites and their shipping options/pricing is also very value for money.
The availability of the support staff is amazing and the solutions offered are fair in all cases.
I definitely recommend GearBest as the fastest and cheapest place to by quality products
Gearbest is a very pleasant place to shop. In the store are very favorable prices. Shop make a lot of promotion. Good contact with the service allow for nice shopping.
Ho acquistato vari oggetti su gearbest ed ho sempre avuto la massima attenzione dal servizio clienti.
Tutti gli ordini sono sempre arrivati puntuali e gli articoli sono come vengono descritti sul sito web.
Tralaltro ho scelto una spedizione (che spesso è gratis) che non comporta le spese doganali in quanto vongono assolte dal mittente
Consiglio a tutti questo sito. è sicuro in quanto accetta il pagamento tramite paypal e in ogni caso sono molto seri.
Ordered in this store for two years. During this time there were no problems. Excellent quality product, a variety of shipping options, fast shipping, the opportunity to pay through PayPal. Prices on average are lower than in other stores. All issues are quickly resolved with support. Great shop!
The GearBest site is the best when you want to shop online. Here you can find any product at the best price and decent quality. The support center is very useful and the employees are well informed and friendly.
The site constantly offers discounts and promotions for most products. So from this site, you can intelligently buy what you want.The time the product arrives is the only downside.
I encourage you to shop on this site and recommend it to as many people as possible.
I've ordered several items from this website and all of them arrived within the timeframe of the ETA, were as described on the website and of good quality. Costumer service is good and caring and since paypal is available as payment method, payment is reliable.
Great store.
First I saw a video from a guy reviewing some wireless earphones, this guy gave a link to the item in GearBest, so I decided to go there and try to buy them, the whole thing was quite fast, I made my account, I made the purchase of the earphones, I provided my address and finally I paid via PayPal. Past three weeks or so I got my package safe and sound... actually sounding pretty good for BT in-earphones. Then I bought an iPhone thin case and some pieces, the process was pretty friendly and I received the items.
I really recommend GearBest, so I consider as a good advice to read and watch reviews of the items you want, write correctly your address and double check, and pay via PayPal to get quite a backup, and if you consider the item very important, you could pay the package insurance fee. The customer service is very friendly and polite, they are a good team!
I'd really like to have more shopping experience with Gearbest.

This site have good prices and good support. Fast shipping and good package. I recommend this site for your orders
I have had very good experience with Gearbest. Gearbest has very promising products, they offer very good sales and post sales service. I have had 2 issues with delivery times (exceeding past 25 days), but Gearbest resolved the issue without any fuss. I am happy with them at the moment.
I bought so much items on Gearbest, I always received what I ordered.
Prices are very competitive, there's always products in sale and you earn points that can be used to save in the next shippings.
Shipping time to Italy is 15 to 40 days, good packaging and free (I use free shipping without problem or customs duties).
In case of problem, they refund all the price or resend.
Complete scam, shipped me a faulty tablet, I returned it to them at my considerable expense and they refused to take delivery of it leaving me in limbo, no tablet, faulty or otherwise, and no money back.

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.
