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.

Another scam online store
December 17, 2015

I was looking for a specific item and I asked before if it's stock. They said yes and I decide to buy it. 5 days later the order still showing "Processing", I ask first where is my order and because they didn't answer I canceled and ask for refund. 10 minutes later I got my money back, it's for that I love PayPal.

I bought a luminous collar for my dog. This thing is just excellent. I pinned it on the dog, and now my dog is lost in the darkness. I often walk their dogs in the evening, and decided to buy her a glowing necklace in your shop. Payment, and I did not expect that it will be sent as quickly usually shipping goods from other stores dragged on for a month, you do things differently.
Himself collar shines very brightly, batteries for a couple of months of use have not changed. Dog and I am very satisfied. My order nr WW**************

WARNING! STAY AWAY!
December 16, 2015

I placed an order November 23rd. Item was shipped 7 days later and a tracking number was provided. That tracking number shows that it was delivered December 4th, to a Chinese resident. I live in the USA. I opened a ticket with Gear and they are claiming that the package is held up in customs. Strange that my tracking shows it was even signed for by a recipient in China. Scam artist! Opened a paypal claim immediately!
BUY AMERICAN!

GearBest is my favorite on-line shop for all my vaping/ e-cigarette needs.
They offer Free Worldwide Shipping, and their prices are very competitive.

The Customer Service at GearBest is fantastic, if you have a question, they get back to you within 12 hours. They are fast, responsive and reliable.

They offer a wide range of electronics from popular authentic name brand items, to more generic items.
I have bought high quality authentic vaping gear, and it was exactly
As was advertised.

My order number: W**************
I bought a Kangxin Mini VF Box Mod/ e-cigarette
It arrived very quickly to my door step,
It was packaged well, and shipped without tracking, and arrived safely with no problems. Shipping time was about 2 weeks.
This is a fantastic mod it works GREAT,
It is easy to use, and is built very well. It is small and compact, easy to carry around when I am on the go.

The only thing I must warn you about, is that you will LOVE this shop for their variety and low prices, you will never need another electronics store. GearBest will become your favorite on-line store as well.

My Review - If I could give it no stars I would! DO NOT EVER do business with a company called GearBest! I placed an order in October, received two notifications the item was shipped in October, now two months later it still has not arrived. Their options - refund half my money, or 70% and continue to shop their site or pay half the money and they would reship.
GearBest - WORST COMPANY and WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever dealt with!

I have order a pair of Xiaomi Piston 3 headphones. I already had the second version, but they stopped working properly after a year of using. The Piston 3's were availableat Gearbest for the lowest price. Since I already had a good experience with them, I decided to buy my products with them again.
The order was shipped quickly. I receieved it in less than 3 weeks after placing my order. The earphones itself are of good quality and fit perfectly in your ears.

I am very happy with the fast delivery which GB provide. I receive my phone within 1 week. The shipment location is in Europe, which save additional payments on customs. The device is as described and the pictures in offer are showing the real product.

I got a heck of a deal on these batteries and I'm loving them! Great performance and they are not knockoffs, they are legit. Shipping times were great, and while I do not mind the color that these came in, For a pack of 8 I couldn't pass up the price. Arrived well packaged and charged to the standard voltage upon arrival. Now I don't have to run back and forth to the charger all day and spend more time vaping.
