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.

Gearbest offer the best products with the best price, especially mobile phones compared with other websites Gearbest have the best stock, no delay to ship the orders out, I have bought xiaomi redmi note 2 and cubot x12 with almost half the price also I have ordred other items like router, power bank, mobile accessories... I have received all of them in best condition and in a reasonable time.
I've used the site a few times and have recommended to friends. The free shipping worldwide is a huge selling point as high shipping costs have put me off other sites before. The quality of item depends on product but the prices are so low they feel like having a "direct from warehouse" rate. The shipping is surprisingly quick as well, something I did not expect.
Customer service communication is very quick.
I've had positive experiences and will definitely shop again
I like this store, pretty fast shipping and delivery. I would like to be sure that it was No charge))).

I have ordered many items including my last Elephone ELE P70-LAISIMO 70W TC Box Mod (order W**************).
Everything was perfect. Fast Shipping, best prices, great customer care.
I made 4 orders and I'm very satisfied with each of them. High-quality products and very fast shipping, responsive service. Last time I got my order in 8 days and it's during Xmas eve. By the way, e-sigs are the cheapest here. So, I advise you this site.
I am very happy to write review about gearbest.com. It is first online shop which i have purchased. I am very happy about it. Goods is very good, although the shipping time is more than 1 month.
How come people put 5 stars for the company or 1 star. To me it says that the 5 stars are from members of the company and the 1 stars are from real customers!

I bought a Xiaomi note 2 phone from this site in my first transaction. Delivery is relatively fast. Phone is great. Since then, I am more confident and refer to friends. To date, I have placed 7 orders on this site to buy tech and related. All good.
The experience that I have and like from this site is:
I am confident that I will get the original brand product,
I have a tracking number for every shipment,
And the delivery to date is reasonable.
The endoscope camera had an object blocking the lens inside causing the picture to be blurry. They sent me a product that is defective and refuse to honor their money back guarantee stated on their website. They use the guarantee to trick customers to buying form them and when the customer has a problem, they expect the customer to fix the defective product on their own dime. Not an honorable company

I recommend Gearbest shop to everyone who appreciates really high quality and excellent service!
I am very pleased with the service of this shop! Support answers very quickly and respectively. All off my questions about orders were answered in time. The quality of goods is on the best level.
Options, products and prices are ok; you can purchase on a Local USA Warehouse and you get fast shipping compared to china warehouse.
If you have a claim about any failure of received goods, you get delayed response (if you get one) and they will not send you any replacement, spares or refund, only partial refund to purchase spares and repair by yourself!

Gearbest came through with my order W**************. My tablet, tablet case and HDMI cable all arrived, all in good condition. I was really pleased. I took the risk and it played out well. I'm happy
I bought in the store DVR HOME GS98C (WW**************). This was my first purchase, but how to pay paypal for the safety of their money was calm. And despite my anxiety, I received your purchase. And I still use the device. I advise everyone to buy and DVR and shop. I will also cooperate with the store in the future.

Excellent store. One of the lowest price. Patient support. Paypal user protection - you will not be afraid for your money. My best recommendations to everyone.
Order numbers: W**************, W**************, WW**************, W**************, W**************
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.
