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.

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.

My Gearbest experience has been very good so far, after I ordered my first item. The Gearbest livechat, it is very good as it runs 24/7 which is handy and helpful when you need support. The answer's are usually very clear. Customer service is really good, so are the products they're accurate and offer the best price. They also have flash sales which are discounted products. I would definitely recommend this company to friends.

I have a ordered a phone and received one which had a faulty software. Was offered the option of paying additionally and be send a replacement. I have made an immediate payment through paypal, however they now lie to me saying that it is no longer on stock while the product page states "246 Pieces left".
I'm not talking here about chargers or flashlights, but about 200EUR.
Their support seems a joke; they use predefined answers and simply copy paste the one which seems most appropriate. I see that happening even here.

Gearbest attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

The price of gearbest for this product is cheaper than in other places (1 or 2 dollars difference), but although the difference may be very small, in my point of view, gearbest has better quality both in shipping and in products already That the product only takes about 22 days to arrive, in addition to that the clock works very well, the features are very precise has bluetooth 4.0, heart rate sensor, motion sensor, sleep monitor, shows you all your messages and notifications, Alarm clock, different themes of view for the clock, and what I like most is the ability to change songs and raise or lower volume without needing to remove my cell phone, certainly a very good team although personally I did not like it The charging mode is via the micro usb input but only that. Without doubt I am very satisfied with both the watch and the service that gearbest offers in its sales.

First thing first, the price was unbeatable, just bought a 64 GB original samsung SDXC card for a very cheap price compared to other websites, about shipping and packaging i gave them 5 stars, oh man! They really deserve it, the NLPost are the best, just got my package in 23 days ( china warehouse to Algeria) well packed.
I am 100 % satisfied as long as the product i buy matches the description in the selling page, i would say so far so good, my first experience with gearbest was great, i do really recommend this website cuz the products matches the description + the shipping method is too fast and so professional

5 stars

Great deals, but...
December 18, 2016

So, what's the 'but'?
Well, many of the items I received are of inferior quality. When I open a package from Gearbest, I always invertantly ask myself 'Am I feeling lucky today?' Some items I received where outright non-functioning while others did not meet the advertised claims of the item's description.
In many cases, this is more of the fault of the Chinese manufacturer inferior quality than anything else. It's gotten a lot better though. Three years ago, about one in five items I ordered had some kind of issue. Now, it's much less - a sign that Chinese attention to quality is improving. For these reasons, I would normally rate a company a 1 or 2 star rating. However, the reason I'm giving Gearbest 4 Stars is because they have always addressed a quality or non-delivery problem professionally and compensated or refunded me without any issue. As a company, I feel a can rely on them and they are getting better all the time.
Price wise, Gearbest is usually the cheapest I can find. If you don't mind waiting the 3-4 weeks it takes to ship from China, you can save some serious money by shopping with Gearbest.
Bottom line: Recommended with some reservations regarding quality of products and time it takes to deliver from China.

I live in Italy and Gearbest is the only store that can give you your items without parcel fees and faster than other asian shops.

I bought some original Xiaomi products, sd cards, covers and quadcopter spare parts. All the things arrived well protected and very fast.

I had some issues with a shipment of Mi Bands, but after enquiring a bit I was contacted by GearBest and had some amazing customer service after getting through to the right person. My issue was acknowledged (by the second customer service representative) and I was given a couple of choices to solve the issue. Ended up very happy and satisfied with the outcome. Will definitely purchase again in the future!

Stress free shoping
November 19, 2016

I recently started using Gearbest as an option other than e bay. I got tired of items not arriving to me.
This is not happening with Gearbest. Almost all orders have tracking. The prices are very good especially when they have flash sales. Everything i bought so far when the little things under one euro are very good quality and as described in the site

Betrayed!
November 16, 2016

I order a smartphone and use Gearbest Points (35$). After 4 Weeks of waiting and no shipment i chose a exchange smartphone.

They wanted that i pay 25$ more and i do it because i thougt the exchange smartphone was more expensive.

Finally it was cheaper and finally they dont use my Gearbest Points for the exchange order.

1. They tell me they cant use my points and they are gone!
2. They tell me they my Points where used so they cant get returned
3. They tell me they give me my Points back

Result i pay more for a cheaper smartphone and the used points where not counted and they are lost now. In the screen you can see that they say my exchange smartphone ist cheaper 16$ and the math is:
Extra Pay 25$ minus cheaper smartphone 16$ = 8$ refund
Correct it is
Extra Pay 25$ + cheaper smartphone 16$ refund

This was my last buy

Ok.
November 12, 2016

Had some purchases here. The site is fine, and in most cases you get what you order. The things I wouldn`t recommend to buy - batteries and expensive electronics. Better go to your local (or trusted) store, spend some more money, but rest assured everything is fine. This is China business, which is a lottery. Would recomment for buying some things which are low priced.
