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.

The best shop
April 1, 2017

Before buying on aliexpress and fasttech, but my friend advised to me Gearbest. Now I only make purchases on Gearbest. I love reward points system. Saved a lot of money. And prices are generally much lower than in other stores. I'm shopping on Gearbest already more than a year and while never problems with the goods and delivery.

Never GB!
April 1, 2017

Very $#*!y company. One of the worst. A bunch of scamers in a word.
Where should I start: people that lie once they get your money and never care about the merchandise.
What you win in cheap price you lose it in a month pf shipping. They should ban them in US.

Spettacolare
March 31, 2017

Ve lo consiglio, ho acquistato tante volte da loro, nessun problema, vi consiglio di utilizzare la spedizione italy express che consente di non aver alcun problema con la dogana, perche' superando i 22 euro di merce si devono pagare dazi doganali, mentre con questa opzione e' Gearbest a occuparsi dei pagamenti dei dazi.
Prezzi bassi e articoli rispondenti alle foto e spiegazioni.
Immediate le risposte ai vostri dubbi, ottima gestione del cliente...
Mi sento proprio di consigliare Gearbest, miglior sito per acquisti dalla Cina con prezzi bassissimi.

I bought this Headphone for monitoring my home recordings. It's a very good headset for the price. Good build quality and excellent sound quality. I was looking for the best price and I found it at Gear Best during a flash sale.
It took a little bit longer than usual to arrive at my home. Maybe because of the customs control

Я ставлю 5 звезд не просто так, а потому что этот магазин их заслуживает. Там всегда можно найти товары по САМЫМ низким ценам, там быстрее появляются новинки, и много распродаж. Xiaomi- оригинальные товары, можно не опасаться подделок. К недостаткам могу отнести то, что иногда (не так часто) долго идут товары доставкой. Но я могу порекомендовать всем этот магазин ;)

I am very excited about this page of Gearbest, I have become more addicted to shopping online thanks to this page, I have loved it too, because there are very good products, cheap and very good quality, and all its staff is extremely friendly, Only once I had an inconvenience because my payment could not be verified and I was immediately refunded, they offered me a lot of alternatives to pay and I could get the product, and it worked, they treated me super friendly and I thought I would never buy There for that inconvenience, so far I have bought many things, and I am very delighted.

Worst return policy
March 29, 2017

Bought a vaccum cleaner and it was Dead on arrival. Contacted them and in their response they said either return it to China or CA. But if you return it to California we won't pay for shipping charge and price to send to CA is 60$. Their return policy sucks.

The site is pretty easy to use and the prices are good. They advertise that shipping will take 10-20 business days and have a policy posted on their website to apply for a refund if the order does not arrive in 25 days. I have been waiting 30 business days, about a month and a half and still no package. I complained via their customer service system and have been asked to wait until 2 full months for the order. I ordered knowing I needed the articles in six weeks and as they haven't arrived I had to replace them all. My order is now useless to me. The company grossly underestimates the shipping time and then refuses to give a refund when they miss their own published deadlines. Stay away unless you really don't care how long it takes to arrive. On the plus side, their customer service rep was very polite via email but just kept repeating the same thing.
