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.

Very satisfied
December 14, 2015

I ordered Voyo V2 TV box from Gearbest (order#WW**************). The price was really good- much lower than other sites, and shipping was free. I've had very good support and information about the parcel from their Customer Service and there was tracking number. I received the item carefully packaged and it was as described. Overall I am very satisfied with Gearbest. I will definately buy from them again.

Ordered various items as stocking fillers on 27th November. Was a bit confused by the website so wasn't sure where items were coming from and didn't know if they would come separately or in one parcel. Anyway, at such low prices I decided to proceed. Got an email confirming my order, a couple of days later I received an email saying that the items had been shipped with a tracking number. When I entered the tracking number in the China post website, it wasn't recognised, same on Netherlands Post. At this point I thought i had been scammed. About a week ago I raised a ticket with them asking when I would likely receive the goods. Customer service responded within 12 hours assuring me my items were on the way but they weren't trackable and that delivery could take up to 40 days. At this point, I had lost hope of receiving the items in time for Christmas so put it down to experience. Sounds quite negative so far doesn't it but hey, imagine my delight when the parcel arrived today! The items are exactly as described, were well packaged and amazing value for money, I'm delighted. 17 days from order to delivery, yes they have come from China so I'm ok with that timeframe, postage costs were pennies so what more could I expect? This site is genuine and excellent value for money but you will have to wait a while for delivery so order in plenty of time

I discovered this online shop earlier on this year and have already bought several items since, because their prices are really low and, so far, I have no complaints whatsoever about their whole service. My last gadget I bought with them was a smartwatch Zeblaze Rover (Order Nr. W**************), which I ordered at their EU warehouse on Nov. 06 (with free shipping) and received quite soon already on Nov. 09. Apart from receiving my item in only 3 days (which was faster than promised), I must also add that the packaging was excellent. I didn't need any help from their support on this occasion. But I do remember that when I submitted a question with respect to the shipping procedure, when I boutght my first item at GearBest some months ago, I received a reply within hours. As to the smartwatch itself, I can confirm that it was exactly as stated on the site. It has working perfectly fine ever since I received it and it's configuration was quite easy. In short: a big "thumbs up" from a repeating and satisfied customer!

It was not my first order from an e-shop, I ordered some items from them with my order #WW************** and received it in the estimated delivery time. Packaging OK. Perfect !
Then I placed a second one #W************** and there was a problem because some of the items ordered were no more in stock and I was informed that it would be shipped in 15days more. I felt upset about it but the matter was quickly solved by the Customer Service (allowed the differences of time from Italy) arranging a prompt refund of the missing items and a discount on the already shipped one.
Problems can happen everywhere ! But I found that they have an attitude in trying to identify themselves with the customer and want us to feel comfortable and satisfied.
For any doubt about the requested items is probably better to contact them before placing the order.
I have already suggested their e-shop to some of my friends, not for the many items they have, but for the quick solving of my second order problem.

Okay so I bought several things from here and saw that this place might be a scam and surprisingly they responded to my ticket pretty fast, well not the first one but the two others yeah. They replied and canceled my order and gave me a feund. They said it would take 30 days but I'm not sure. Hopefully they do. Also i m not a fake I really thought this site is a scam but now not really. For me the CS was fine.

I really like the store GearBest.com. I like the design of the site, which is very convenient. The layout of the website is good, not overloaded with colorful offers. In General, the goods which are represented in the store GearBest.com different from other stores. Very often in the store arranged the sale where you can buy a good product with a good discount. There is also a system of points for purchases and reviews. At the moment GearBest.com my priority is the store. I highly recommend this store.

Very Bad services
December 13, 2015

I order Redmi Note 3 from gear best site according to the written in the site ( Ships within 3-5 business days) from Dec 7. And until today ( Dec 13) the status for my order is processing. I open ticket in the site about my order. The surprise was is the phone is not available in the site ( Out of stock). And it maybe will available after 7 to 10 days from today ( But in the site showing and still showing the item available for shipping within 3 to 5 days). They gave me two choices

1- Waiting and I didn't know until when
2- Changing my order ( Buying another product)

So there is no real return for money ( the money will be for the site)

Therefore, we advise everyone not to deal with this site
