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.

Avoid at all costs
December 8, 2015

I ordered a windscreen videocamera from GearBest and when I eventually got it the power cord was broken beyond use. I contacted the customer service, by email, explaining my problem and was sent a link to send them photos of the item. When I attempted to open the link it said that the link was not active. I again contacted customer service explaining the link problem as I needed to send in the photos to get a replacement power cord sent but heard nothing. I have sent 2 further requests for help and heard nothing from GearBest. Very quick to take the money but not willing to do any customer service. I will be contacting my credit card company to get my money back as they have done nothing to correct this problem and so the videocamera is useless.
I am convinced that any good reviews about GearBest are scams and generated by the company itself.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!

I ordered a OnePlusX phone and it was delivered within promised time. Also they send the picture of the package after shipping. The tracking provided was reliable and the product received in perfect condition. I was worried as I was ordering a Phone first time from China but it turned out to be excellent in the end.

Scam artists!

I ordered a watch in November, was charged for it but never received the product. How do they get away with this? Do not order from this company! I am contacting the better business Bureau. This is ridiculous

Repeatedly buy different goods using this site, and have never been disappointed, I do not understand people who write negative. I see only quality service and timely technical support that are ready to resolve any issue in favor of the client. Gearbest very loyal to its customers, and it is captivating for further cooperation with this company. Ordered both small and large goods to Russia, everything came within 2-3 weeks in perfect, unopened condition. Constant action only exacerbate the desire to buy something through them, because so much low prices and attractive discounts only at Gearbest.

First order was Xiaomi Yi camera, and it arrived after reasonable time. That order had a tracking#. The last 2 orders were smaller low cost orders, one from August, and one from September. Neither had a tracking# and neither ever arrived. After being told to wait 60 days, I advised them that the August order never made it. Was offered to resend the item or refund in my GB wallet. After originally agreeing to resend, I quickly advised them I'd rather get the refund. No response. Then the 60 days wait for the second order expired and I advised them to also add that refund to my GB wallet. No response. That was Nov 15th. Today I updated the ticket again, asking for a refund within 48 hrs or I would open a Paypal dispute for both orders. No response.

Orders: WW**************, WW**************
Ticket: T*******956 (still "processing" with no response since 11/15)

If you are reading this, you need to address the issue immediately or I will open a Paypal dispute tomorrow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great... after being told that "we will apply for a full refund" for my second order, I did not receive a full refund. All I got was a partial refund in my "GB Wallet"... I've wasted an inordinate amount of time updating "tickets", most of the time without responses, and this is what I get for that wasted time and not receiving an order...

IIf you want to keep customers, that's not the way to do business...

Horrible service. Now I'm finding out ther in it looks like China. Thanks for screwing your customer over. Now that I should have looked you guys up first and seeing how many others you have done the same. Horrible customer service. I have contacted you in various ways and now I'm going to visit every possible
Web site to trash your company like you trashed the hover board you sent me. I may not get my money back but I will continue writing every possible website to let others know how terrible your business is. Also please don't degrade my knowledge by offering me gearbest points. Why would I ever order from you again. What needs to be done is to make this right by refunding the money you excepted prior to shipping out the used Hover board. But from what I have learned. People send back other items and you never refund the money. Nice Buisness

Gearbest-
I see you have replied to some of the negative comments on this site. So since you haven't responded to my service ticket, here is your chance to respond to my feedback. I placed, and paid, for an order back on 11/27. Order #WP**************. The order promised shipment within 2-3 business days. I started a service ticket 1 week later on 12/5. Ticket #T*******773. Still need to know when, and if, my order will ship.

*** Since writing this review I submitted a dispute through Paypal. Gearbest responded to my service ticket, and offered an exchange for a similar item or store credit due to my product being on back order. There was no indication on the website during, or after, the ordering process that notified me that the product was back ordered. I responded through the Gearbest service ticket and the paypal dispute requesting a full refund via paypal. I believe the opened dispute through paypal assisted with a quick turnaround of my refund. I have increased my star rating to 3 stars now only because they refunded my ticket quickly. I honestly believe that this would not have happened if I had not initiated communication and followed up with the paypal dispute. Be very careful ordering from this company...
