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.

Changing my review
November 17, 2015

My first order was pretty much what i expected. Not very quick. Any ticket i placed was answered ASAP.
Quality was awful. But worked for kids fun. Lasted about three or four days before they started falling apart.

My second order, Placed on November 28th, still haven't received. And the tickets i send ether get ignored or deleted.

They truly have no support. I think all messages are answered by auto response

Worst service ever.
November 15, 2015

I tried several times asking for help for 2 Easycast receivers I bought from Gearbest. Website constantly gives error messages. Gearbest does not answer messages. What good is a cheap price if the product doesn't work and the seller does not even try to help despite many requests.

I am a devoted customer at gearbest. Never been disapointed with ther sevice nor the stuff they sell. Just love how quick items are shipped, how quick they respond to every single question I may have. This is just a top quality Customer Service. Not only all the items are brand new and original, the price is also a great deal - been trying to find a better deals but they have no competition. Their loyality program is also excellent - on every single order I receive ponts which can be spent on the next purcharses - its like few % on every transactions goes back to you. Awesome. Would definitely recoomen to anyone. Especially EU customers will be satisfied that they have a EU warehose which is just great when your order is time sensitive!

I got a pair of Bluetooth headphones from Gearbest and I LOVED it! The quality was like the famous Beats by Dre, but the price was $15, I thought it was too good to be true, but I bought it anyways and it was fantastic! I got the package quickly and I fell in love with the headphones. I was so happy that I recommended Gearbest to all my friends. They love it too!

Scam and false reviews
November 15, 2015

Its obvious that most of these 5 star reviews are false when there are almost the same amount of 1 star reviews and nothing in-between. I have made hundreds of orders from Chinese based company's ether shipped from china or from Europe based stores and i have had overall good experiences and not had any major problems. First time i order from Gearbest (Europe store) my £50 camera goes missing in the post and after months of trying to sort it out i have given up. Might be good for low value items but i coud have bought the camera for £4 more new on ebay uk and would have had this sorted in no time.

Gearbest is a good store. The prices are low and the service is very good. I've ordered several times from this shop and every time the goods were well-packed and the delivery time was fast. I've already recommended Gearbest to my friends and colleagues and would recommend it to everyone.

Gearbest just refunds and cancels your order and don't even write why when you order about USD 10 and use your collected points to reduce the price, so when you think - "yes, I can use my points", then think again.

I know many people would say otherwise about Gearbest, but this is just because you haven't been lucky:)
I buy things from them since last December and I'm completely satisfied.
My last purchase was M-Horse 5.5inch smartphone for my husband. And I got it only for 32! Euros all because of flexible discount system and great deal.
It was even posted from their EU stock, so it came quick and without paying import taxes.
I recommend them! Check them out!
