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 is a good online retailer
January 26, 2019

I've spent over $700 on gearbest last year, and I can tell that they provide a good service. Their prices are competitive, and their shipping is fast.
I did have an issue with one of their suppliers, but gearbest's customer service did everything they could to help me with the issue.

I get my order within 10 days from EU warehouse, good support and good price
I recommend to ask if it is Authentic, some products describes as original so you do not need to worry but if it is not mentioned its better to ask if you want original product and they will answer you quickly.

GearBest the Best
January 26, 2019

My experience in Gearbest was awesome, all my orders have arrived fast and I never ever had problem about it. My last product that bought there have a premium material and I'm really impressed with it.

If you are looking to shopping for some product and have not sure if the GearBest is good, don't think twice and go for it, I really recommend it.

Worst shipping ever

GearBest one of the best sites to buy
January 26, 2019

GearBest is a good website where you can find a lot o products with cheap prices.
My Order No: **************655 I bought a Xiaomi Mi Band 3 and I am very happy with my product, this site, like all the shopping websites, has pros and cons:

Pros: you can find a lot of products with very low prices, is very safe shopping in the website, I haven't had a problem with my orders or my credit cards and finally it ships to a lot of countries without a problem.

Cons: The customer support isn't very good, it seems like you are answered by a robot, and if you live far from asia or europe, your product will arrive very late, I live in America and my product arrive the country in 1 month 3 weeks.
But after all it is on of the best websites where you can buy online.

I ordered $300 worth item a month ago and even paid for fast shipping.
They never send the item.

After about 3 weeks, I was informed that they are out of stock and told me to choose another item for same price. Asked for refund, but they don't refund.

I checked the website again, and they are still selling the same item!

I even checked all the reviews of the item. They are all FAKE. Same reviews over and over and even few 1 star reviews are saying all the good things about the item.

Chinese scam alert! Do not buy anything from this website!
I am surprised that this website has a high score in Google. It must be fake too.

I found out about GearBest.com a few years ago and since then my home and lifestyle changed quite a bit. The tech I've purchased from this website is always delivered promptly to Bulgaria and the quality is outstanding, especially when we are talking about Xiaomi products. Gearbest maintains the lowest prices for quality tech items when comparing the same listings to Banggood or AliExpress.

I've purchased from small car cameras, smart home bulbs to smart phones and vacuums for me and my whole family. To be honest the quality of the products is better than the quality of the same product when purchased locally.

I'm occasionally placing order for apparel items and they've proved to be of a good quality for their cheap price. I'm currently waiting for 4 pairs of shoes/trainers and can't wait to receive them.

There is great customer loyalty scheme where you get points for every dollar you spend and then use these points to partially fund your new orders.

Support is great - efficient and extremely helpful. The ticketing system is amazing.

Overall I've recommended GearBest to so many friends and will keep on doing so.

Gearbest is the best
January 26, 2019

Firstly, Contrary other shopping websites, Gearbest has impressive language support So, Product details are clear and this situation helps us to buy right products. Besides language support it has awesome support for problems that occurs on shipping, payment etc. Additionally, Gearbest includes a wide market area so you can reach products that you want or theirs alternatives. Finally, the most important reason that I choose Gearbest is flash sales and coupons. So, You can buy products under their price with these great campaigns.

Fraudulent company!
January 6, 2019

This company has put in motion the practice of scamming their customers of the shipping cost.

I ordered a ~400 EURO item with express shipping (5 days) and extra insurance (which you shouldn't even need to begin with, but I thought I'd play it safe.)
Total amount: 405

I tracked my package for 8 days while it made it from the Czechoslovakia to Germany, where it bounced to three different packaging stations before being returned to the sender, in this case, GearBest.

After contacting the shipping company in my country to double check that it hadn't arrived despite the tracking info, I then contact GearBest and ask where the package is.
They tell me to wait another week, which I do. It is the holiday season after all. No biggie.

After 7 days have passed, I contact them again, and this time they say that, indeed, the package has been returned to them.
Why ask me to wait for a package that has been returned?!

During those last 7 days I had tracked that package to hell and back, and ended up with tracking info from DHL Deutche Post, where it said, in large bold letters:
CZ WH: 4PX Express RETURN ONLY NOT FOR SALES

So this package was never intended to reach me from the start!

I was still hopeful at this point, and didn't want to believe they'd try something so dirty, so I reply to them that, if they can't send the item once more, I want a full refund... Which they refuse, saying they have to deduct the cost of shipping and return shipping from the amount.

Get this! This company want me, a customer, to pay for a package I have not received, and probably never would have.

I'm glad to say though, that after a lot of back and forth with Customer Services, I will most likely get the full refund they owe me. Still waiting for the money to show up in my bank statement. But this, only after I clearly stated several times that I will not accept their partial refund, since a customer is not responsible for the shipping of a product.

At this point I am a hairs width away from contacting every government agency that could possibly help me in exposing these frauds for what they really are, but for now, a review will have to do.
