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.

Great seller, nice products, best priced, quality is awesome. Above all superb customer support. Recommended.
The site is really easy to use and it is very well organized. Prices are attractive. Customer service is reactive and serious. The site offers a small reward if given a comment on the product (it helps to have more reviews, and reduce the cost of future purchase.).
Delivery is rather quick, 15j for my first order and 30 for the second. (free delivery).
In short, I recommend this site!
Shopping: xiaomi yi and accessories (W**************)
Gearbest have bests prices and if you find here discounted item, Just take it. I am sure you will not find cheaper. I know you can take same product on local market quicker but if you have time Gearbest is the Best choise.
I am highly satisfied with Gearbest of how they deal with my order. The shipment was really fast, just less than a week in Canada to receive the item, unlike their competitor which normally takes a month. The packaging is well secured for the TV box I bought (PIPO X8) which I really love because of the good quality and nice features for having dual boot (Windows 8.1 and Android). The price is cheaper too! Thank you Gearbest!
Very good online shop with a wide range of products and good prices. Support is excellent, I had a couple of times a need for their intervention and always have it completed in a way that I was pleased.
I cant complain about anything,
I have made several orders since the last 5 months and I'm happy as hell.
They sell very good stuff (smartphones, tablets, gadgets, clothing) for low prices.
I already ordered two smartphones, mediaplayers, and a tablet there. The quality for the price is unbelievable. If you have questions you can contact their customer-service and they solve the problem. The shipping (to Germany in my case) takes between 20 and 25 days if you choose the free shipping, and 10 to 15 days if you go for the express shipping. I visit that website everyday:-D
Best regards from Germany

I am trying almost a week to make in contact with gearbest support over Web page and all the time I am 50 or even 70 in the line waiting for chat. I called Nordic post office to check what is going on with my item and they told me to call the seller and check with him because they can't give any information. I ordered the item first week in August and the item arrive to Nordic post office on 19.8. And it still there. It is incredible. If I order through eBay I usually receive all items in maximum 15 days. I will not recommend anyone to buy anything through this Web site. This is unprofessional and they just taking our money. I will send mail to PayPal for this.

"Excelente trato al comprador, en mi caso el pedido llego en 1 semana.
Tienen cantidad de articulos, a muy buen precio.
Sin duda alguna recomiendo a esta tienda por la calidad de productos, la cantidad y el excelente servicio tecnico."
I've used Gearbest on a few occasions now and have personally recommended it to friends and people on the internet.
Gearbest tends to best it's competitors on price points, delivery is cheap and they have a good range of products.
Dispatch times can be lenghty though when you consider how affordable the products are, it's not really an issue. They always fulfil their orders and the customer service is excellent.
In conclusion, shop with confidence with Gearbest.
W**************
Good store
A wide and high quality range of products

Reasonable prices and great action

Like many I was a bit worried about placing an order( W**************) with a company in another country (I'd always used Ebay etc) but the products and prices on the GearBest site are amazing and I need not have worried! They are really great and on the odd occasion I had a parcel go missing (looks like royal mail have lost it!) there customer service has been great! They are always quick to reply and make every effort to resolve your issue.
I have since ordered again and imagine this will be one of many orders.
This was my first experience with Gearbest, a very good site for buying products from China. For me, the ultimate reason was that the store has a warehouse in Europe, so fast delivery and no additional taxes are involved. I definetly recommend it and I will keep using it. Also, one must not forget the great customer service and great GB point system
I regularly shop at Gearbest. The site has a large selection of items to choose from.
Prices are very good, Shipping is free and very fast, usually 15 days.
Customer service answer in a mannerly time. I will definitely be shopping with them again in the near future
They offered me GB money to put a nice review... i got a defective product and customer service took a month to help so i loose my money back guarantee... i ended keeping their garbage and refunded me only 10 dlls... avoid these Chinese scammers
"very good shopping experience with gearbest website.
The payment is very easy and you can pay with PayPal too.
I really satisfied from the item condition and quality.
Good purchase, quick response.
I'm really satisfied."
I bought in this Power bank Xaomi *******mAh shop. The goods came in the 3rd weeks. The price the best which I could find on these goods. Power bank of 100% original and qualitative, underwent testing on the site Xiaomi. I advise this shop for purchases. As a result: the best shop for online of purchases, I will order there still.
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.
