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 ordered a few times, order from 1 to 20 US Dollars.

The ordering process is well thought, with a lot of options regarding delivery. I liked this very much.

There are some issues that they need to solve:
- the dispatching takes longer than what I experienced elsewhere (ebay, bg), but they do mention that on the site (Ships within 3-5 business days). This is an area that needs to be optimized even further.
- the actual packaging of the product. I ordered an aluminum chassis for an RC car, and it was packed in an envelope (the type with small bubbles on the inside). The item arrived slightly bent, but not a big deal.

When they dispatch the item in the mail, they send you a picture of the package - very nice unique feature:)

Overall the experience was great with this site, the prices are good (cheapest FS Racing RC parts)! Recommended!

Need a product?

It was due to meet with gearbest Xiaomi PowerBank. I decided to take me abroad are sold to three times the price in my own country I also get on well. Both came quickly. Both the original. And customer service above all! They listen and they solve the problem for you. I am quite satisfied with the gearbest. And I would recommend it to anyone.

Untrustable
January 10, 2016

Hello,

GearBest cannot be trusted.
I ordered a 300 USD smartphone that I never received.
Here follows what they answer me.
Really unfair trading practices.
It seems that, for gearbest, you are responsible of the delivery:-)

Es la mejor tienda que he encontrado hasta ahora, ya que en la mayoría de sus productos no cobran gastos de envío y tienen ofertas constantes. Reponen el stock rapidamente y en lo que se refiere a tiempos de envío los respetan estrictamente, además de empaquetar con protección todos los productos que mandan. Cuando tu pedido está listo para el envío te envian una foto con el paquete enel que aparecen todos tus datos. Yo he comprado un Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 hace menos de un mes y me llegó muy rapido desde China, perfectamente envalado y sin ningún tipo de tara en el telefono o sus accesorios. Como quedé tan contento compre un Bluboo UWatch y me llegó perfectamente, igual que el teléfono. Tienen una gran variedad de productos y una gran relación calidad-precio. Tienen precios muy competitivos. Tienen varios metodos de envios y almacenes en Europa, China, Rusia y América. Recomiendo esta tienda 100%.

At first I was concerned after placing my order for an SJ7000 Action Camera, as I read some bad reviews about this company. However, after receiving my product, I am extremely satisfied. It came in perfect condition, and just about on time. It was slightly late, but that is to be expected because it is coming all the way from China. The customer service messaged me after my order was delivered asking if there was anything wrong with my order, and if so, what they could do to fix it, and I responded saying everything was great. They responded back very quickly (within a day) thanking me for ordering. Overall, I am very happy with this company, and I just ordered from them again (it has already been shipped). Highly recommend!

Ordered hoverboard 11-30-15, still not received. Gearbest gave me a bad tracking #, we are now into january 2016, so much for a christmas gift, very disappointed grandchild. Gearbest customer service is a complete joke, they say order on way, check 5-15 business days, standard, generic answer.

Great page

"Gearbest is such a great page to buy electronic things. All the things I've bought there have arrived on time and with a great quality.
Also, their Customer Service is quite good, because a real person answer you emails, not like other pages that is all automatic."
