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.

I found it reliable
March 15, 2016

I live in New Mexico, USA. I ordered a windows tablet on 03 Mar 2016 from "Gearbest" and got it today (14 Mar). It came as per instructions. I was confused about their reliability for some negative comments, but finally got the product perfectly. Though the tablet pc language was in chinese, after selecting english and restarting, it's now well to use.

I am also happy with their online chat service. :)

Ordered a Kakashi Figure from Gearbest 18 days ago and still haven't gotten it, been seeing many bad reviews about the site today so now I'm not surprised, I'm giving it til the end of the week, also the forgot password just loops around and nothing helped me get my password back so I can't even track the damn thing which I paid an extra $3 to do, needless to say these bastards aren't getting my business again

Purchased a laser light from this company and it took over a month to arrive and when it finally arrived the charger would not work. I tried to resolve with the company to either send me a new one or just the charger- instead they offered me a 6.00 refund. What would that do? I sent them pictures as requested and they still would not do anything, so I opened a case with paypal. So then they offered me 9.00- what good would that do me without a charger? I was very surprised that Paypal was even wasting my time with these offers. Finally Paypal refunded my money and said it was at no cost to this company. WHAT? They shipped a piece of garbage and would not stand behind it and Paypal was afraid to stand up to them. I would not buy from this company and I will not use Paypal again.

Gearbest is Great!
March 11, 2016

I ordered a Megir watch; very inexpensive and after receiving the item, more than worth the price paid. I was very pleased with the quality of the product, which is rare since it is so common for Internet-ordered items to be misrepresented online and not match the quality once received. Will order from Gearbest again (already have, in fact!).

Very, very nice experience for me
March 11, 2016

I realy like shopping on gearbest. They have nice promo sales and good price. I am buying gadgets and smart devices and I am satisfied. One thing I like is they don't have clones. On the other sites I was afraid to get some product clone. I would like to thanks them and give advice to be more accurate for customer support. Last time I bought some action camera for 50e and it is perfect. Make some warehouse in Serbia so we can buy without customs :)

Xiaomi Mi Band 1S
March 11, 2016

I was extremely happy with my gearbest experience. I ordered the 'Xiaomi Mi Band 1S' - http://www.gearbest.com/smart-wristband/pp_*******.html as it was on a flash sale at around 17 euro. The option to pay with paypal gave me great piece of mind that if anything went wrong, I could open a dispute. The wristband took 3 weeks for delivery, which was quicker than expected considering I ordered in the middle of Chinese New Year.

The product itself is perfect. It's original Xiaomi, instead of the many clones that are floating about. Setting up the wristband was easy, as was syncing it with the app. The app could be better, but thats a different matter, which I think will change as they continue to make changes to the app.

After this purchase, I have been looking at other items they stocked just based on how good this service was - the prompt nature of delivery and the good price, which is a good bit lower than the competition out there such as Ebay, Amazon and Aliexpress.

Yes, I have good experiences with GearBest.

Especially the contact with Support-Center was helpful for me.
I am very pleased about contact and solve technicals problems (I had some technical questions about using a very tricky quadcopter)!
Gearbest is the seller I trust.

Because there are not people who only want to sell... and than forget the customer. My contacts at Gearbest show that they want get in a long time seller-customer relationship!

And last but not least: Gearbest everytime try to offer the lowest price... And that`s nice:-)
