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.

Good Service and many Items to shop.
I like this Shop.
I have made more than 650 usd worth shopping from gearbest, some of them were OK but the most expensive ones I had some problems and they did not help me even it is almost 1 month passed.
Their support center always making copy-paste answer, I am not sure if they are reading our problems and they are not trying to solve the problem.
They have asked me to make videos of the problem, I have made but nothing is improving.
There are very nice items with the cheaper prices in gearbest but I am not going to buy expensive items from them becuase if i will face any problem i am sure that they will not help.
I have decided to shop from other sites than gearbest because I am getting all refunds or item replacement if there is a problem.

Ithink the GearBest is just the best choice to Online shop all thing thet we whant.
Hello. I came to another posting gerbest. This time I ordered Xiaomi *******mAh power supply. I bought it at a very low (11.29 USD.), For such a product, price. Shop, as always, at height. The item came in safely and in time. Goods original, is being tested at the official sayteXiaomi. I recommend gerbest. Buy in Gerbest not regret it.
I purchased a 3D printer back in December. It was my birthday / Christmas present from my wife. It arrived DOA. The power supply was damaged and needed to be replaced. Several weeks later I did get a power supply. That was not the end of my problem. In the meantime, I borrowed a power supply from a friend. When I hooked it up the X- axis motor made a lot of noise, thru trouble shooting, it was discovered that the modification that the factory did to the main board damaged it. I know that isn't Gearbest's fault. What is their fault, is that I opened a ticket with them and explained the problem and they replied that they were shipping out a new main board, and closed the ticket. That was a month ago. I contacted them the other day to find out where my part was. Come to find out, it was never shipped! The delay in contacting them was due to family emergencies. So now I am stuck with a non-functioning printer and I can't get a refund for it even tho it wasn't working when I got it. I have opened a dispute claim with my credit card company. I am hoping for a resolution soon. I would like to get another 3D printer. But definitely NOT from Gearbest!
I've bought Xiaomi Mi A3 4G Phablet 4GB RAM 128GB ROM Global and very happy with it. It's fast and amazing phone and it was delivered fast.
I absolutely enjoyed my experience, great choice, amazing prices, good flash deals and very responsive customer support! Love Gearbest, one of the best online stores!

I ordered a hover board for my grandchildren for Christmas on November 24. It is now January 6th and it still isn't hear. They don't have a phone, you only get generic response. They have completely ruined Christmas and the tracking info says it hasn't even shipped. Do not waste your money
Gearbest is really good store. I ordered there first time and i had no problems. They send packs fast and good protected for long trip. Products that i got are 100% original and works great. Reccomend this store.
Gearbest is a great seller for electronic cigarettes and gadgets.
Fast delivery and no problems so far.
I ordered a self balancing scooter as a Christmas present the 29 of November and here it is January 6th and its still stuck in customs. I asked for a refund so I could go somewhere else to purchase the same item and because its been shipped out they won't refund my money. I will never order from here again and I will definitely pass the word for no one else to order here either.

I have used this company many times they have good products and prices. And if i have an issue they are quick to resolve it.
Ho comprato ancora da gearbest, questa volta un cellulare MEIZU M3 4G Smartphone RAM + ROM: 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, CPU MTK6750 1.5GHz, Octa Core. Il cellulare è ottimo velocissimo con le app e con la navigazione su internet, la batteria dura tutta la giornata tranquillamente.
Il servizio offerto da gearbest come sempre è eccellente, sia nei tempi di consegna degli articoli che nell'assistenza pre e post acquisto.
Io consiglio vivamente di acquistare da gearbest, qualità della merce, servizio eccellente e prezzi competitivi.

Really good website. A lot of gadgets and electronic devices for really low price. Mobilephones are one of the best. China smartphones cost less but have more power than famous brands!
Fast shipping about 2 weeks. Nice customer center!
My order: WW**************
I have used GearBest a few times now and I've not had a single issue, the products i got have all worked well, good choices for delivery and the prices are amazing, i will be continuing my shopping there.
Ho acquistato n°2 telefoni, n°1 smart wacth, e una cover e mi e' arrivato sempre tutto in ottimo condizioni e perfettamente funzionante, anche assistenza risponde subito, provero' ad acquistare ancora ma sembra che sia un buon sito per prezzo / qualita'
Great prices and good gadgets!
Many review by the products, so you can decide easily to buy or not!
If something goes wrong they give full refund.

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.
