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.

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.

Great Site
January 19, 2016

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 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

Gear Beasts!
January 19, 2016

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."

My shopping expirience
January 18, 2016

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.

So fast!
January 18, 2016

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
