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.

Slow and misinformed
December 26, 2015

Only been waiting a month for a Quadcopter. I know it says 10 to 45 days... wtf? I get $2 items shipped from china in less than a week. I am so happy I did not depend on them for my christmas gifts. I had an order of 7 items but I had never done business with them before, so I cut it to one. It's shipped allegedly but the tracking number is useless. Spend your money elsewhere! They sent me an email stating to return half of my money and that it might take 70 additional days for it to arrive. What kind of company does business like this? I will never even look at their adverts anymore. I'll repost if it isn't a scam as it sits right now.

Dissatisfied
December 26, 2015

Ordered a drone at the end of November... still no sign of it. I have a bunch of useless tracking and ticket numbers, zero response from the company and thus zero Christmas pressie. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST GEARBEST.COM. All I received was disappointment. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Finally I found a site where I can buy almost everything.
From electronics to gardening.
Very good prices, one of the lowest on the market. You can hoard points and save up to 30%.
The possibility of using Paypal is another big advantage.
And the best part is the free shipping worldwide.
I bought a Cenovo mini PC. Is a very fast, small, dual OS, low power consumption. I recommend.
Thanks Gearbest

Everything I ordered so far was good quality and fairly cheap. I bought at least 30 items, all of them was good, and I'm still using them. It takes usually 3 weeks to get the items (and rarely 7 weeks), but for exchange you can have it for a cheap price.

Ordered a cell phone on 15th Nov 2015, there was no tracking details provided and on gearbest site also status was saying it is at Cincinnati airport on 7th Dec 2015, i sent an e-mail to seller saying that i will claim from paypal if i do not receive it by 15th Dec. On the 10th Dec the shipping status in gear best site changed to delivered. I have not received it so far and when i call the paypal for the claim, they did contact the seller and he has provided a fraud site yuntrack.com which is saying the item is delivered and paypal is closing the dispute without refunding my money. Looks like even paypal is not trust worthy.

Great site I use it to buy electronics devices from quadcopters, flashlites, powerbanks and so on. They have genuine products with low prices nobody can match.
Customer support is fast if you need to ask them something.
Will buy from here again.

After I ordered simple hand watch (brand MEGIR) I was pleasantly surprised with its quality. Handband is real leather, all extra mechanical functions (date and stopwatch!) are working flawlessly. Price was reasonable compared with other online shops. I heard for this site from frends who also bought something there and recommended it to me..

After 1 experience with this company I would never use them again nor would I recommend that at all. (The only reason I marked 1 star is because the system requires it inorder to do this review). We ordered a remote truck back in mid October, and after finally receiving it, it came with the wrong plug for charging. I have attempted resolution and still, after over 2 months have received NONE! This company should be reported to the better business bureau as it advertises a mission statement & a guarantee that they do not follow. Not to mention, they advertise a chat line and a phone number that are bogus. Neither one work and the response when doing a ticket, claims it will be within 24 hours, but that is not true either. Save yourself a big headache, not to mention your money and buy elsewhere!

I can share some of my pleasant experience with Gearbest.com. I've already ordered several items form this store, including smartphnes, accesoires, headphones and I can honestly say they have very competitve prices, the support team is always eager to provide assistance and overall UI of the site is very good. I can easily access my orders with pictures of the sent items on scales, which is very encouraging, especialy if you live far from China:)
Particularily I like my bluetooth headphones Ausdom M07, which I received not long ago. I had discovered the price for this amazing headset is the lowest among online stores, so I placed an order on Gearbest. I got the tracking number and the picture of my parcel on scales that confirmed the fact of shipment. The delivery time was around 1 month, which is more than reasonable for shipment to Russia. The order arrived well-wrapped and not damaged by post handling, so I was totally satisfied. Now I wear these headphones as much as I can and think this is the most comfortable headset I ever used.
I would like to say thanks to entire Gearbest team for good cooperation and prompt replies in case of trouble. Keep up with good work, guys!

I ordered at this store electronic cigarette Joyetech eVic VT 60W Temperature Control VW Variable Wattage Mini Box Mod Kit 31. 10. 15. At that time, the store was an action of this product and the cigarette cost me only 3,000 rubles. A few days later I received the track number, and already November 20 received a package in the mail room. I am pleased! Gearbest.com I recommend to everyone to buy genuine products at the lowest price!

Отличный магазин, сделал первый заказ с интернета, остался довольным, все качественно и с хорошими скидками, посылка шла 28 дней, вот думаю скоро заказать смартфон. Пользуюсь и вам советую, так как гиарбест является магазином а не реализатором между продавцом и покупателем!
