On SmartCustomer, businesses may not offer incentives or pay to remove reviews. Learn more about our Review Guidelines.
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.

I am from Russian Federation. I heared a lot of very good reviews about this seller, so that I decided to make an order. It was 2 Baofeng UV82 radios, GPS tracker and bag (order W**************). My order was shipped is a few days. I take my order from the post offise by 23 days (thats because a long period on customs).
Every item was new, unopened, without any damages.
The quality of radious is better, then our shops are selling for the bigger price!
GPS Tracker works without any problems. A super thing to go with in a new places in the forest.
Quality of bag is the same that on foto and in description. Fabric is very cool and hard to burn. You can't accidentally make a hole by a cigarette, for example.
A very good customer service for me. Seller asked a question is everything fine, when order was delivered.
And I want to notice, that prices are very cool, there are a lot of cupones and bonuses.It
So that I complitely satisfied with my order. Thanks to GearBest! I will order a new things in future surely!
I really love gearbest!
My order arrive me in under 10 days to germany!
Small prices, good support.
I have shopped at several online retailers, but I have been most pleased with Gearbest! They have a huge catalogue of products, and ridiculously low prices. Products have MUCH higher quality than one expects from the prices. Customer service is quick to respond to any questions. I will be shopping here much more often!
I recently bought a couple of chinese tech items from Gearbest.com. Their prices were by far the lowest on the Gearbest site, I did not have any problems with the shipping so i do not have much experience with their support crew. The two best things about Gearbest.com to me are: 1) They only sell original merchandise (no clones or fake devices) and 2) They have a loaded European werehouse which allows very fast shipping if you live in EU.
Outstanding website with very low prices. I like it because there are more shipping options than other websites. Items are always very well packaged and all information that is listed are correct. They always have some promotions. The website is great and simple.
I would recommend this website to anyone. Top prices and great quality products!
Delivery time very reasonable, I live in France and I always receive my items in less than 2 weeks.
Gearbest is a must!
Hi. My experience with gearbest is 5/5 star. Every time i order is all perfect. Shipping time, comunication with seller, and items are in top condition. So thanks god for sites like gearbest is. Meybe sometimes isnt the lower price but the quality is realy good. So i prefere gearbest everytime.
GEARBEST is now my prefer store because they are react and with the best price on the market. I bought an Android Box Tv as MXiii-G, order: WW**************, very good product, i've now a Smart TV with it. Very fast processor, i can now see my movies 1080p by Wifi (n) from my Nas. All the comments on GEARBEST help me to decide my order. Very fast shipping (free) with clear tracking. Thank's for all GEARBEST!
I highly suggest people check companies out on facebook or do a quick google search before ordering from them.
Read the comments on https://www.facebook.com/gearbest/?fref=ts I wouldn't order from them.
So I was looking to upgrade my old android phone, and started reading up on local forums what's a good deal these days. Caught a reference to gearbest shop there, so I want to check it and ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 32GB from their EU warehouse for a great price. That way there would be no problems with customs charging extra for the phone.
Afterwards I ordered a case and tempered glass for the phone, from the China warehouse. Lower value, so exempt from extra customs charges. While being two separate orders (W************** and WW**************) from different warehouses both packages arrived in less than two weeks, the phone first obviously.
The items came well packed and was able to track them with the info the store provided. Then even threw in a charger adapter for my local electricity outlet for free, which is a nice bonus!
The phone itself has been working great, and it's one of the best value mobile currently available, considering the price/hardware ratio. Was pleasantly surprised by the shop, in quality and speed of service.
I recommend this store gearbest.com
It's many orders that I pass, I have received in any two weeks lost except one that was shipped again.
All packages of (a value greater than $ 40 is a Tracking #
Often very interesting promotions.
Very good dialogue with the customer service.
Thank you GEARBEST
Gearbest has the best prices, they ship out packages very fast, i would recommend this shop for everyone
I've seen some bad reviews for gearbest in sitejabber, but my orders are all coming through nicely.
Last one was a Xiaomi Yi Camera that was shipped immediately from a european warehouse, and i received it just 5 days later.
With more than 20 order, i had a non-show with one of them, and after contacting the, i got a full refund a few days later.
Excellent shop, a lot of stuff to buy, and great prices.
Gearbest have the best tech and non tech deals, I got a Mi band 2 for 10$! And a smartphone doogee Y100X for 49$! You do not find best deals knowing that you have a brand new product and shipped fast.
They respond to any query in 24 hours max. And any issue that you have they solve it.
Gearbest is my election tech online shop!
Best website ever!
After discovering the gearbest website and having a little browse it didnt take me long to decide i wanted everything! After a short amount of sulking when i awoken to the truth that i could not have everything, i settled for a kanged EVOD e cigarette priced at £10.92 which i was astonished by! £10 cheaper than anyone else! Thrilled with my find i placed my order and waited eagerly...
16 Days later... ITS HERE!...(running about the house with excitement) i could not contain myself, i opened my neatly packaged parcel and out came this professional looking box. 'oooo very snazzy' i thought to myself, i put it on charge and as started using it the minute icould. What can i say i was not disappointed, ive not smoked a cigarette for 6 days now!
Thankyou gearbest team! You do an excellent job, keep it up!

Ordered a mini PC. Voyo v2 with uk plug. Received the order in time however the plug missing. Now I have been trying to get the company send me the plug as priority but they are asking for more money. This is not acceptable behaviour by a large company who pride themselves on treating the customer in a fair manner.
I would say that think if you get the same item from your own Country but cost a little more then pay the extra.

Bought a couple of Tarantula X6 DRONES and cameras. Cheapest prices online. Fast shipping and great customer service. Will be doing business with them again.
I just received my Self Balancing Electric Scooter yesterday (11.16.2015) The scooter looks heavily damaged. It has a lot of scratches and damages. When i talked to a representative online, they assured me that the Scooter will be new and unused. I am extremely unhappy with my purchase, it was a gift for my son and it looks like it has been used for months. I would like a NEW Scooter send to my address with fast shipping, or return of my money, and I can send you the used one you send me to the address you will provide. ID: T*******098.
Thank You order nomber WWW**************

After paying $200.00 for a drone, I finally received it and found missing parts. Rather than go thru the warranty crap, I just got back on the gearbest website and ordered the parts. Then, still haven't gotten them, I bought the missing parts at a hobbie store. Turned on the controller, and NOTHING happens. Now, going thru Paypal for a refund. They want me to ship it back to them in China. Thats $100! WTF? I know they have a usa address, but I can't find it. DAMN!
Answer: Some people will get their products, some will not. Some will get what they expected and some will not. I got my products but one was not what they promised and one broke after a few seconds of use. They still continue to use wrong information on their website even though they admitted to me that it is not correct. I wrote a review on their web site about the product that broke after a few seconds of use and they blocked it so it still looks like the product only has positive reviews. You can see pictures and read more on my own web site that I created for telling my experience about GearBest: http://GearBestreview.azurewebsites.net
Answer: Dont really matter mate, regardless, what they do if does not arrive, they will not refund, they offer to resend at your cost. Then you do Paypal dispute, they refuse to refund unless you close the case, if you close the case, Paypal will not help. In my circumstances Paypal decided in my favour and refunded, but dragged on, avoid this company in future, Bangood better
Answer: Dear Iain, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.gearbest.com/ Our colleague will reply you in 24 hours! We are sorry that the live chart is some buzy, as many people contact over the world. So that may need customers to wait a little linger for their turn. Gearbest.com
Answer: Yes Adam, did you pay with PayPal? If Then contact PayPal and claim your money back and stat away from gearbest, they lied to me and now i an trying to get my 100 dollars back. There is a reason that they are NOT on eBay... So my advice to everyone is to stay far away from this socalled Company... No mail, no adress, no phone?
Answer: They are legit, just ridiculously slow in shipping. I waited 1.5 months for my "rush" order. It was shipped out in multiple pacakges and arrived at different times.
Answer: Same here, after 3months of waiting for my order and many conversations in an email ticket which went on for 1month they promised me to refund me via paypal. No refund and nothing heard from them since almost 2weeks. Keep writing here people, I hope lotz of people read it and gearbest goes bankrupt very soon
Answer: You can try the Better Business Bureau like I did however they never responded to them either, they did respond to the tickets I opened up on their site but the replies weren't of much use and not very helpful.
Answer: I wouldn't. It's been three months and I still don't have my order and their customer service is terrible. They just keep telling tryouts to wait longer.
Answer: I would advise you to stear clear. If the site does not let you order with free shipping then you have dodged a bullet. I got free shipping but the product was damaged an only fit for resting your cup on they offered a refund less the first shipping that was ment to be free or a replacement. As it cost 25 pounds to send back to resolve the matter I chose to except the replacement it came and was just as bad a tablet as the first. Take my advice and run a mile. Hope this gives you an idea what the company is like. Run run run a mile mate.
