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.

Ps. I've just ordered headphone a few days ago and I'm looking forward to it. :))

Terrible experiance
January 27, 2016

*** 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.

Bought headphones...
January 27, 2016

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.

Does not ship.
January 26, 2016

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.
