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.

I recently ordered a usb mp3 player that runs on a aaa battery. I got a great price, better than I could find on Amazon. The product was shipped out very quickly and for free. I got the package in California in good condition within 2 weeks. Great experience, will order from them again.

A good site where the choice is very wide and the unbeatable prices(prizes). The delivery was very quickly made. I bought two watches and no concern(marigold). I shall just have wished to have a packaging bound rather than a padded envelope for the packaging of delivery. Otherwise nothing to say.

Stay away from this site!
December 13, 2014

Stay away from this site! Non existing support once you make payment, extra slow shipping, ordered items are not shipped because out of stock (which was not out of stock during ordering and payment). Once you pay do not even try to ask for support.
Invoices are not included with shipment so if your package is stopped by your custom you will have to wait for few more days to receive invoice from gearbest. Maybe they should change their title to gearWORST?

Recommend Gearbest for those who are willing to wait for the product to arrive, And although the shipping isn't amazing the prices for the products are simply awesome, I found an Arduino UNO r3 for five bucks! So I recommend it.

I recommend GearBest as a shop online store to buy from. Within the past month I bought a Atongm D9 Portable 2K Quad Core Android 4.2 DLP HD Projector and had it arrived in Australia to my door in pefect condition. A plus with shopping with them is that I went shopping in Australian dollars (AUD) and when I got to the checkout the amount was in AUD. They had free worldwide shipping on the product I purchased, and that was the case. So at the checkout, the price I shopped at was the price I paid, no hidden costs. I recently shopped at another Chinese website (no name mentioned), in AUD, and when I got to their checkout, the price was converted to American dollars and then somehow was inflated above and beyond the exchange rate and did not correspond with the price I was expecting. So top marks to GearBest for that. The only complaint I woud have with them is that 2 days after my purchase, I received an email from them stateing that I had to confirn my payment, which I thought was a bit strange. So I sent an email back with a screenshot of my receipt from Paypal, and a photo of my credit card balance (I used a prepaid credit card bought esspecially for this purchase) with the amount taken out with 'GearBest's' name beside that amount. They were happy enough with that and emailed me back immediately confirming that and my product was packaged and sent off straight away. They emailed me back with shipping details and a tracking number. So as stated above it got here undamaged and in their stated shipping time. Cheers GearBest.

I bought a remote control/keyboard for mini computer. They shipped the item pretty fast and I am able to track the item with the tracking # they provided.
The item arrived in good shape and as described in their site!
The quality is pretty good, and I am pretty happy about the purchase.

The most important thing is. The price is the cheapest among most of the online retailers I am able to think of!
They also award me of some points, which can be used to save some money on my next purchase!
I will definitely buy from them again."

The minimum requirement for a webstore is to have a company name and an address. Both are missing here.
