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'm Thakolpak
I ordered VR Glass through Gearbest.com on Jun 30,2015 (Order No. W**************) and really happy with my order. The VR Glass is really nice, me and my friends love it! Furthermore, the support from gearbest was great too.
Ps. I've just ordered headphone a few days ago and I'm looking forward to it. :))
Finally got my refund. I would like to commend those people who helped me:
1. www.sitejabber.com company for being there, a helpful site specially for us who are used to order via online.
2. www.gearbest.com support named Lani, who is very patient and truthful to the promise she committed.
3. www.gearbest.com company for addressing my issue in any way they can.
God bless you all.
They are definitely well worth the money in this regard and I can recommend them enough for anyone looking for superior sound and not willing to break the bank.
Hi Buyers. My review on first purchase in on-line store GearBest.Com Bought screen guard film for iPhone. Since the price of this product is the lowest in GearBest. Seller ship my order fast, give the foto of parcel. Within 3 weeks the product was in my hands. I liked the film, it protects the screen from damage and dirt. I recommend GearBest shop to everyone who appreciates really high quality and excellent service!
Is a shop with many products, excellent quality and price, I buy 1 drone RC and 1 submarine RC and I came perfect, without any flaw, I made several purchases and always arrive in a timely manner, I recommend buy in gearbest, 100% reliable.

*** Second UPDATE March 4,2016***
Although it took a while, a Gearbest representative finally got to me and handled this whole thing in a professional way. Maybe they have grown too big too fast. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I don't know, but in the end they did work to satisfy me and ensure that the experience ended well. For a while I felt like I was being ignored, but eventually they took care of the problem. Still only moving from a one star rating to a 3 star because of the wait and frustrations.
*** UPDATE*** Gearbest said right here that they would send an email to me with a "top solution". That was an outright LIE. No email was ever received. Furthermore a shipment of 10 pieces had 2 faulty ones in it. No problem, things can happen. Gearbest said they would send 2 more if I paid some of the cost. I paid it and over a week later there is no record of it in my account. This company is a joke. They are the worst business I have ever dealt with and they lie in public to make themselves look good while they completely ignore the customer.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Gearbest product says "ships within 3 to 5 days" but this item didn't go out for 17 days. This is the 3rd time shipments are delayed leaving. When I create a ticket to find out why they give a lame excuse about how shipping companies can be delayed on holidays and stuff. This was NOT shipping that was the problem. They are very slow getting product out. The associate that answered the ticket wrong then closed the ticket so I couldn't even respond to it. Terrible customer experience. Maybe try Ali or Deal Extreme.

Excellent shop! Free and fast delivery! High quality support! Low prices! Regular discounts!
I bought a mini knife. This product came quickly. Well packaged. Knife is very sharp and 5 blades in the set! Multiple use!
I recommend to everyone!
I ordered headphones last month and with free shipping they came to me in 3 weeks, which is quite a good time. Shipment packaging was satisfactory and the headphones itself are surprisingly good for the price.
Last year :) was a good action from this store. I was interested in a card is 64 GB (W**************) for nice low price (almost 2 times). On this site I have long been, and orders have, though not much. Ordered given a card without hesitation because I was confident in the reliability and originality, and the responsibility of the store (store is always provided quick answers to interesting questions to me - because there was no doubt). Sent quickly and provided a picture of my parcels (wow, because none of the stores I know it does not). And given the track number that anyone work in sites. Sending came quickly (27-29 days), but note that the street was a new year (the order was 12/18/15). Therefore, it is extremely fast, I did not expect! A card packed well. Immediately after unpacking I go to various tests - Extent replied good speed. Now a card in my phone works on all 101%. I recommend this store and all the goods that they sell! (if you need reliable, high-quality, original items at an adequate price.
Very good store with fast delivery responsive staff and good electronics shaven highly recommend!
Order date: Dec 16,2015 my order W**************
For the first time ordered to gearbest, I was very pleased, the order was shipped within a few days, got 2 weeks, convenient payment paypal! I was very pleased!
I purchased at this shop because the price of the selected products was much lower (order No. W**************). The delivery was very fast and the parcel was well packed. I'm very satisfied and I will order at this shop more.
Gearbest in this website I purchased a Virtual reality headset I buy here because I find out price is low and the product is latest version I didn't find out anywhere else in ecommerce sites, before placing order thought to ask their customer support service whether or not product can ship to my country( India) I must say they are highly helpful ppl regarding doubts & coming to product shipping website will mention from when it will ship after processing done more over free shipping +low pricing, product delivered to me within 20 days.
Pre ordered a $300 phone (Elephone Vowney), which should have been dispatched the 20 of jan. The same day as it were to ship, I received a message that they could not dispatch the phone (even though it was in stock) and that I had 2 options of refunding. I quickly responded to the message and asked why they could not ship and attached a screenshot of the stock status. After a week I still haven't received a response from GearBest.

I buyed at Gearbest MicroSD card for my cellphone. The price was much more cheaper than at offline store that's why I ordered this product at this store. Product quality is well because I'd testing it at my PC by h2test, capacy and speed also good. Shipping pretty fast and didn't take more than 20 days.
I love to shop Gearbest. Quick service. You can find a lot of goods at low prices. I recommend to anyone who wants to order on the minimum price
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.
