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.

Am i satisfied? Yes!
January 9, 2016

G'day, I made 3 orders (W**************, WW**************, WW**************) all 3 just unbelievable good quality (ORIGINAL Xiaomi stuff)! Very high quality tech support (quick to answer questions and can solve your questions online). Well, I would like to say that the range of the store is unreal huge and everyone can choose a product at will\ need and it will be much cheaper than any other store because of points, coupons and regular discounts! Presence payment with PayPal makes a purchase secure.
Shopping in the store gave me a great emotion, I will buy from them again!

After buying from a number of sites like dx.com and bangood I gave gearbest a try as I noticed the good prices.

The communication has been always good and what I like with them is that they sent a photo of the package that is being sent.

Arrival is faster than usual so thats a plus too.

After 6 successful purchases I am quite happy :)

I ordered about $600 worth of Drone parts. After 6 weeks of waiting Gearbest sent me a message that Swiss direct could not get the package through customs (radio controlled drone from China to the U.S.A.) but no details as to why. So Swiss direct sent it back to Gearbest. They offered to send it to me regular post (I paid for express) with no mention of the difference in shipping price. I said forget it, Im not waiting another month. So they refunded me the price of the drone. But NOT the $100 for express shipping. They said their policy was not to refund shipping costs. So, I'm out $100 for a drone I never got. Awesome. There are tons of these places. Find one that doesnt suck. Avoid Gearbest.

Update: Gearbest did finally refund my items and the shipping.

I do a lot of online shopping, and I'm always tinkering with drones, LEDs, and other miscellaneous items from China. After ordering from them the first time, I have become a regular customer. I buy from them constantly now, and always watch their site for great deals! I've only had one issue with shipping and that was due to the holiday season and demand for the product.

I ordered five items for Christmas. I received three. The orders were broken into 3 different shipments and one of the shipments never arrived. Gearbest customer service played back and forth game in communication before finally simply saying, "it's not our fault" and refusing to reship or refund the items I did not receive. Apparently... it's my fault the items never showed up. I order from a lot of online companies. My experience with missing deliveries has been rare, but this is my first experience with a company that refuses to address missing items in any manner. Thankfully, the money I'm out is not significant. I will not use this business again.

Dear Natalie,

I want to offer my sincerest apologies to you for the delay of the shipment.

Firstly, we should have had this set-up correctly, and secondly, we should have responded in a much more timely fashion. For both lapses, we take full responsibility and want to restate our sincere apologies to the customer.

Could you please tell us your order number or tracking number so that we can offer a better solution?

Thank you for your time.

I've ordered few items so far from Gearbest. Xiaomi Hybrid Dual Driver (W**************) arrived home safe and sound while the other item is on the way! No problem at all with my order and perfect tracking system. The item purchased works perfectly and I'm really satisfied of it. The feedback on site is very useful and also I found very good their customer service post-sale. I can only write positive reviews about Gearbest. No item refunded/wrong, so it's good. Hope this review is helpful. When I'll get my Xiaomi mi Band 1S I'll update this review or write a new one in case. Thanks. - ITA - Soddisfatto di Gearbest sotto tutti i punti di vista.

Easiest place I've found to date to get my vaping supplies, all at phenomenal prices. Shipping is usually quick, with the fact in mind that some merchandise is coming from an overseas warehouse

I ordered two hoodies for Christmas, $15. Each. I then recieved a email from DJL that o would have to pay over $40. In boarder fees and taxes. I refused the order and now Gearbest says they will still charge the fees and keep the hoodies. Folks they hate us and ate taking advantage of email clients. Customer service can't even communicate in English. Don't do it, go some where else. On another blog they have been caught scamming blogs with Great Service messages. Buyer beware.

GEARBEST SUCKS!
January 8, 2016

These stupid idiots won't send me my product at all and they sent me an email stating they needed more information including my utility bills and a picture of a credit card i used via paypal. They got paid and now they won't even ship my product. I am filing a complaint with my local authorities as this has become an obvious SCAM!
