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.

Gearbest sent me an unsolicited message asking me to submit reviews to review sites in return for 300 points per review ($3 off next order).

After replying to their message to show interest, they sent a message to make sure I wasn't unhappy with anything first.

Once I confirmed everything was fine, only then did they send 3 links to review sites. They even added the following:

"For any survey from comments websites, please explain that this is your real objective experience and that you are willing to share this with other people.

(that means: Comments Webmasters admit the review which is not forced to do and no reward for sharing.)"

I understand the 300 points to be a reward so this goes against various terms of these review sites.

Don't trust the recent positive reviews

Overall the experience was really good! Packaged well but at the same time not over packaged with multiple boxes or anything like that. The product was on discount but even without that it was relatively cheap to competitors! Quality of the unit is good too:)
Really, nothing bad that I can say about them!

Long time playing good shop!
June 1, 2019

My name is xkovallx.
Know this shop so much time and still purchasing something from time to time.
Fast orders processing, good option for delivery to Ukraine, and, as usual, great quality of every product.
Some orders (e.g. For 21/12/2017) were extremely fast in delivery.
Recommend this shop to everyone!

They lied...
May 29, 2019

I have ordered a product and after a few weeks i contacted them to be informed that the product was out of stock... It should be their job to inform me that this was happening...
But they told me that they wanted to compensate me by changing the shipping method, so it would arrive faster, when the product was available.
After 20 days contacted them again to be informed that they did not changed the shipping method and since the item was already shipped, they could not do anything... Basically they lied...

I have been GearBest customer for years and I bought a lot of products such as smartphone covers and Switch console protective case.

The most favorite products I bought were three smartphones. All the brands are of very good quality with affordable prices.
The smartphones are beautiful and have much more features than any latest smartphones in my country. I really love trying every different brand and it is very exciting.

I highly recommend GearBest because of their constant high standards with their clients. I am constantly recommending GearBest to friends every opportunity I get especially when my friends ask me where I bought some of the products.

For me, I give GearBest, 5 stars because of their outstanding performance, I never had any problems with their top-notch service!.

A very happy customer!

Bernard
