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 shop
December 18, 2015

Very convenient navigation on shop. Good prices. Often there are actions to discounts. Considering that discounts happen big moreover it is possible to use bonuses, the total price turns out very ridiculous. With delivery problems aren't present, it is possible free of charge, but for reliability the track is better to book room and to be quiet, knowing that the goods which you need soon will arrive.

I am a new buyer in this shop, but I will continue to shop in it, it is pleasant to me!

Warning! Scam - Stay Away
December 18, 2015

I placed my order on the 4th December for a radio controlled car for my brother and have heard nothing back. The order has been 'processing' ever since. I tried to contact them to find out a delivery ETA but was met with a generic automated reply and a phone number that no one answers! Do not trust the '5 Star' reviews, they're false and written by GearBest themselves. My money's gone and the item never arrived, stay away from this site... it's a scam!

I ordered a product which stopped working the following day (a £200 product!), emailed Gearbest about 10 times and either have no reply or a reply from someone with no literacy skills that fob you off.

I recently ordered 2 mobile phones from Gear Best, then later read some of the terrible reviews on other sites. When they didn't ship my order after 10 days, I expected the worst and contacted customer service. They took a few days to get back, then told me the phones were out of stock - poor stock control as they were definitely marked as in stock when I place the order.

They offered me the usual - wait for more stock, choose another item or get the money refunded to Gear Best wallet. I explained I didn't want any of these options, but wanted a full refund to my Paypal account. After a couple of hours I'd received a full refund via Paypal.

Maybe I just got lucky, but I'd say that's excellent customer service!

Horrible scam!
December 17, 2015

I placed an order through PayPal because their sitr said was better thennormal credit card. Then after a week of processing but already taking my money. They asked me to send them a photo copy of both my id and credit card. Which is not appropriate. They then took a while to give money back and during this time ran out of the item. This site is untrust worthy and horrible.

I've ordered a mi band on Gearbest.com because they had the best price and seemed to be reliable. The fact that shipping is free is something I really appreciate. The order of the band was simple, especially because I was able to pay with paypal. Of course the shipping time for the free shipping is very long, but that wasn't a Problem for me. If you want to you can always chose a faster shipping method. The band was in is original package and worked perfect.
I'm very happy with Gearbest.com and happy that I found the website. Looking forward to order there again!

Order was placed on 11/30/15, I have sent two emails asking for shipping information and ETA of product and have not received any type of response besides automated emails. There is no direct contact information listed for this company. Extremely disappointed that there are 8 days until Christmas and this product has not even shipped!
