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.

Good service
January 5, 2016

No es la primera vez que compro algo en Gearbest y seguramente no será la última. Los envíos llegan rapidos y los precios son de lo más asequibles en internet.
El servicio postventa responde rápido, y de momento, ha resuelto sin problemas todas mis dudas.
Muchas gracias!

It is not the first time I buy something from Gearbest and surely not the last. Shipments arrive fast and the prices are the most affordable on the internet.
After-sales service responds quickly, and so far, seamlessly resolved all my doubts.
Thank you!

I have been dealing with companies in China/HK for over 15 years, this is the worst experience I've ever had and this company gives all good Chinese companies a very bad name!

Ordered two items on 2nd Dec (Smartwatch and Tablet), shipping time was advised as 5-7 days. I had to chase on 12th Dec as I received no shipping notification. It took them two days to respond and advise a tracking number.

On 22nd Dec I received my order as I'd paid extra TNT & insurance BUT they only sent one item. At no point did they advise the second item (which was a present for someone!) was not sent - so they completely deceived me!

I chased on 22nd Dec as to where the other item was. They responded on the 26th Dec (this was so late that I opened a paypal dispute in the meanwhile!), they advised that the second item (Teclast Tablet) was on back order and I need to wait a further 5-7 days or get a refund or credit into my account with a few points.

I asked for a credit but in order to get this they insisted I close the paypal dispute first! I refused this and asked for a refund instead, they still insisted that I close the paypal dispute before they would issue a refund as this was their company policy!

Naturally I was not going to close the paypal dispute and lose my chance of getting my money back so I escalated it and eventually got my money back via paypal! I'm still out of pocket because I paid extra for TNT express shipping and insurance but that was supposed to be for both items not just one!

Will I ever deal with this company again? NOT A CHANCE!

Meh
January 5, 2016

Ordered on 17th December and paid for expedited delivery from the EU warehouse. It is now 2 1/2 weeks later but still has not arrived and now I have been hit with a 20% import tax bill as it has been shipped from China. Apparently it is in the small print that this may happen and you are liable. Guess that is why it looks cheap on their website.

Would not use them again.

Plz be patient
January 5, 2016

I dont recomend them. I made an order Nov. 8 and paid for fast shipping but it has not arrived. When you contact customer service and ask for refund then "boom" they say that "has been shipped". They send me a tracking code but it has been with "Shipment information received" since Dec. 24. Customer service does not help.
Also i have been waiting for over 60 days (47 working days) so i have been patient.
And dont expect anything for compisation for your patience.
Angry customer and scam

I've ordered now several times on GearBest and only have a good experience. They have warehouses in China, Europe, USA, and Russia. So whichever is closer to you, you can get your item even faster.
I always choose shipping from China, and i live in Germany, still the items always arrived within two weeks. Thats very fast for a parcel from China.
They have low prices and a large range of items.
If you have questions the support answers very quick.
I can only recommend this online shop

Spare parts for my Cheerson CX 20 are the originals although taken from the site EU have a very low price compared to other sites, then if you buy the house in China even more.

I ricambi per il mio Cheerson CX20 venduti da GB sono originali hanno prezzi davvero competitivi rispetto ad altri negozi online consiglio di tenere d'occhio le varie offerte che propongono ogni giorno sia dalla Cina che da UK

The best store!
January 5, 2016

Hello, recently I needed film for iPhone 6, everywhere unrealistically high prices and low quality of this product, but ordering it from the online shop GearBest, I was pleasantly surprised! I was struck by unrealistically low price and quality of this product, so I was very pleased with the buyer! I advise everyone to this store, they have ridiculous prices and prompt support! Good shopping!)))
