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.

In my last purchases I bought 5 different products of varied articles, going from headset to smartband bracelet and all the products offered are of great quality, as well as the speed of delivery to my country (about 2 weeks). The products are well packaged and checked in on the separation and there is no complaining about the orders already made. The online shopping platform Gearbest is one of the best I know relying on variety of products and great service provided.

Sem grandes razões de queixa
January 1, 2019

Na generalidade, não tenho grandes razões de queixa. Já tive que efetuar uma troca de um tablet, o qual tive que enviar para a china (cujo envio ficou por 25 euros) e enviaram-me um novo. Fiz uma compra de um telemóvel na black friday e demorou 4 meses a chegar, tendo existido bastantes tickets e uma reclamação no paypal. No fim lá chegou, mas foi a pior experiência que tive com eles. De resto, apenas posso afirmar que as encomendas demoram algum tempo a chegar, mas no geral é confiável.

Trustworthy Site
December 26, 2018

On November 18th I made my first purchase at GearBest and bought some cases and tempered glasses for Xiaomi smartphones (order no. **************074), and less than 1 month I received it at my house. This is a good time considering that the products traveled around the world. These products are not easily found here in Brazil, since here is not a big market for Xiaomi, and I found them at a very good price on GearBest. The quality is good as expected. Also, I had a problem with one of these products (arrived damaged), but after contacting the support this problem was IMMEDIATELY resolved with the money being restored in the wallet on the site. So, I recommend GearBest, and I'll look forward for future purchases.

I bought many things from Gearbest, they always send good product and make nice offers. And, the most important thing is, if you have small problems/issues, you can just open a ticket and they answer fast and get a deal, that's good for both sides. I definitely recommend this places for buying cool gadgets.

The best and cheapest items!
January 26, 2019

"I am shopping from GearBest for almost a year now, every item I have purchased came in excellent package and shipping was super fast. Comparing to other sites gearbest was always the best because everything has a better price and with the reward points and coupons I have bought many items on bargain. GearBest has almost everything you might need. Also every week GearBest has flash sales or games to play and earn discount coupons, prizes and points. I am so satisfied from GearBest that's why I am posting a 5 stars review here

All the pages should be like GearBest, your shopping system is totally programmable, from month to month it improves the experience of its users. Their products are guaranteed and protected against most of what could represent a bad experience. Customer service is not limited to only support in English, it has improved multilanguage. Gearbest not only shoots massive products, it also protects the loyalty of its users.

For me it is better than amazon
January 26, 2019

I have ordered and received many tens of orders from GearBest. The interface is clean looking and intuitive to use. There is a wide range of products available. I have purchased mobile phones, 3d printer, electronics gear, flashlights and so on. For more expensive items I always choose EU priority line shipping option, which means no local extra customs fees on delivery.

Unlike Amazon which charges me 8-10 euros to deliver even a pen from europe to europe, I usually get free shipping from GearBest and the items come all the way from china. Netherlands Post Unregistered shipping option actually provides tracking numbers with which I can follow updates for all my packages. Shipping time is also very good, 2-3 weeks in normal conditions for my location in Eastern Europe.

GearBest has a very good reward system for its customers, where text and photo/video reviews of purchased products receive significant number of gearbest points after being accepted on the website, points which can later be used to reduce the price of certain products, usually up to 30% of the value.

Customer support is polite and friendly, and have always resolved my issues when I needed to cancel paid orders or receive technical support in warranty. It just takes a little more patience, being in very different time zones.

I will definitely order from this webshop again!

Terrible service
December 27, 2018

Sent already paid video card 2 months. After half a year, the choke squealed and fans made noise, the card was sent under warranty, where it could not be repaired and refused to make a replacement and a full refund. Only partial refund. NEVER buy in this store, no service.
