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.

Amazing websites
March 24, 2016

Gearbest is one of the best websites to buy online. I am very happy and satisfied with all the orders that I have done in nugget. They have very good prices, great customer service and exceptional returns policy. They often have offers and shipments are quite fast.

Got delivered only items that I filled my order with, while all the basic ones were "not able to deliver" even if still listed as hot deals on the site.
And still await for refund...

Need electronics check gearbest
March 23, 2016

Ordered many times off of gearbest never had any issues what so ever. It's easy to track your packages and delivery is much quicker than similar site's I've used in the past (fasttech). Easy to navigate and if your lucky enough to log on at the right time some of there flash deals are amazing. Would highly recommend.

On the Aplil 30 of 2015 i bought the Xiaomi power bank ******* mah.

Found offer in the flash deals section of website, it's great when you see flash deals on the main page. It's good usability for buyers.

Ok, choosed and ordered in a few clicks, paid with paypal. It's good when shop offers paypal payment.

After the month (approx) of shipping (free delivery is long, but it's ok, same things on the other shops) i recieved my powerbank cheked it and uses it till now.

What i can say about the product? It's original power bank, passed verification on the Xiaomi website. Used this power bank for a 10+ months, it charges my THL T11 4-5 times. Great for a traveling.

What i can say about the gearbest shop? It's great! Will buy there more good stuff!

Good luck!

I really liked their point system! Besides the fact the are offering the lowest prices for the most of items on Internet, they give you extra credit points for the purchases, which you can spend on other purchases!
For example when I bought my Xiaomi Yi Action camera I received so many extra points so I could buy 32 Gb SD card without paying any more money. Only for points. Great system!

I ordered an item right before Chinese New Year and therefore had to wait a week. Then the item was on back-order (which they never told me) and then it finally shipped although I still don't have it almost a month after I ordered it! There is no tracking information and when I have asked for information, they just keep telling me to wait and it is on the way.

I will never order anything from GearBest again. There are many more options and companies that value their customers.

Perfect Site for Geeks
March 21, 2016

So I bought a quadcopter with Gearbest few months ago just to test their service. I gotta to say that their service was just amazing the product reached India exactly at 25th day as promised. Since then i'm spending about 30min of my time everyday just to see if they can amaze me again with another product.

So I would suggest this site to everyone so that they can save a lot of money just like I did.

Purchased a hover board for my son before Xmas. It took over 2 months to arrive, and when it did it was defective. Doesn't work. It wasn't put together properly at all and the main board is defective. For the last month I have been trying to get some help to rectify the situation. I've sent pics and videos. I want to them to honour their money back warranty - but they are telling me it would cost ME too much to send it back! All they are offering to send me part... Which presumably I will have to pay someone to install, or a $30 credit! Ridiculous. I paid $329 USD! Stay away from Gearbest.com. The quality is poor and their warranty is a scam. I feel completely RIPPED OFF!

Thank you, Gearbest!
March 21, 2016

It is six months since I bought my Redmi 2 PRO at Gearbest.com, and now Id like to thank the guys for their work. That was my first purchase at the store, and I can say I was a little worried. However, now I Im satisfied. The item did agree with the description, and when I checked its code via the manufacturers website, it was a 100% match. Now I know I can trust this store and, I hope, so can many other users. Thank you, Gearbest!

I bought a ROMOSS Sense 6 Plus LCD *******mAh External Battery, by price USD 22.45. Shop sent the order for the next day. This product came quickly, about 22 days, without any damage to the packaging. Power bank fully justified my expectations. I charge 2 devices at the same time, 1a and 2a amperage ports. Goods match the description. I recommend the store for shopping!
