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 sought a card reader, found on this site is a good option and small price, i check with the support presence of the goods and paid, still accrued bonuses for shopping! I recommend!
Gearbest is the best companies to buy product quality.
I bought smart watch and i received it at QuickTime
And the the quality is very good
My order no W**************
By the end of December I ordered teclast tablet received by dhl by the 13th of Jan.
But it was faulty with defective display. When I contacted them they offered 10 USD as compensation. That made me mad and after several messages they offered 20 USD I refused... at last they offered to repair it locally... I asked for spare part. Display. Support center admitted that the display is defective and need to be replaced. For one month now they refuse to send me the display screen to fix the tablet although they should send another one but even the spare part they refuse to send...
Very bad site and bad customer support they litteraly stole my money for a defective device.
I ordered several items from GearBest, every one arrived as described within month ( that is normal shipping time from China to my country) and in state as described. I did not have any problems with paying or canceling orders.
Site has great deals from time to time so i managed to get samsung 32gb microsd card for half a price it costs in my country.
I would recommend this site to anyone searching for some cool gadgets.
I enjoy buying things here. The mouse I bought here is great. The parcel came inj a month. The communication with the managers is good. I am satisfied with the shop.
I bought quadcopter as a Christmas gift and fortunately, package arrived 3 days before christmas. I'm glad, it's a nice site with professional support and I'm going to buy more in future.
I ordered Bluetooth modules from this company before Christmas order No WW************** to date they have not arrived.
I tried to contact them on their website... useless live chat does not work, messaging asks me to log in but I have never signed up for an account. No where to create an acc ount so that approach did not work.
I sent email to *******@gearbest.com and did actually get a reply, it said my parts would be sent when I paid for them (repeat of their original email) I did pay for the parts with paypal when I ordered.
That started me looking for reviews here and other places. Personally I think gearbest write their own reviews some I looked at were dated 14 & 15 jan this year, it is now 19 jan and these people are raving about good delivery service and good support, in 4 or 5 days, delivered from China... I think not it takes 2 days to get an email reply if you can find the address to send it to

For us it was ok. Every each purchase was satisfactory, on time and with no issues whatsoever.
It was my first purchase from a international shopping website and hence i was little worried to go for it or not. After some searching i got a good price on a watch that i was looking for about a month.
I got it delivered within 15-20 days so that was great and tracking was spot on!
Looking forward to buy more from gearbest.
Well made website, over than quality product by fantastic brands like for example Xiaomi, with the lowest price on internet; and with the protection of PayPal. What'else, i mean?
I've bought a pair of products for the first time in September 2015 (Order #W**************) and only in 3 weeks (for Italy, where i live, is a short length of time) is arrived, without any custom taxes; the quality of the products was amazing, i've never saw before a site with this price/quality rateo!
But also the service of the staff it was impeccable, indeed they give me very quickly the tracking number of the shipping, and they respond always at the customers questions in couple of hours (i know because i've made a lot of questions).
I think that this is one of my best shopping experience in a e-commerce site, i will buy again and again by GearBest sure of the quality of the service that i tried on my last order."
If I order products online from China - it's definitely Gearbest.com. The best prices in all of China. Responsive managers respond to all questions arising under orders. I advise everyone to this store.
Nov 11,2015 I bought the phone Xiaomi redmi note2. Price was the best!
In my country delivery was very fast!
While deliver store answered all my questions.
I would recommend this store!
Really like Gearbest. Ordered many times. Delivery times are adequate and packing quality is good. Great value for fair prices.
ótima loja online, a melhor de todas, ótimo atendimento ao cliente produtos de utilíssima qualidade.
Very good page.
Shipments arrive before bought in other competing pages.
I often buy with Gearbeast and I'm satisfied with it. Advantages are quick delivery and distinctive goods, i. E. Xiaomi. One more thing is different promos and sales to attract new customers. Also, Gearbeast is one of a few shops, which provides track number, even if I didn't pay for it.
Hi,
I ordered for the first time like 3 weeks ago and I got my smartphone in only 36 hours with the EU Warehouse shipment!
The prices were also the lowest on the internet even if they came from the UK!
I highly reccomend it,
Luca
I was buying many items from this shop. I received my packages very fast and I am still using everyday sports camera xiaomi yi: W************** from Sep 15,2015.
Shop has very great support after sell.
Book on girbest istik 40w TC. This is boxing events for the electronic cigarettes. Excellent price of $ 29, you will not find better prices. The quality is excellent. Support always responds quickly and take care of customers. Delivery very fast!
I will definitely buy another girbest.
Bought a Xiaomi phone, very good price, shipment and package.
No need of technical support until now... hope it will be good.
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.
