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.

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 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.

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!

Great buying experience
January 15, 2016

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

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!

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.
