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.

Günstige Preise, Gute Qualität
January 26, 2019

Ich kaufe gerne bei Gearbest, weil ich hier Originalware bekomme und sich der Support sehr gut bei Fragen kümmert.
Ich habe Handys und Zubehör gekauft und alles funktioniert gut und wurde schnell geliefert.

Gearbest is a serious site with lower prices
November 24, 2018
Updated review

- Gearbest is a serious site and the prices of its producest are the cheapest compairing with the other competitaires such as Aliexpress, Banggood. Etc.

- Most of the time they offer free shipments
- Their after sale service is perfect, I once had an issue with one of the purchased products and they acted fast and refunded me even before veryfing if my story is honest.

- One drawback is that the shippment delay can take a little bit long time (most of the time between two to three weeks and in some rare case more).

In general I recommend the site for their honesty and their great after-sale service.

Best for your Gear!
January 26, 2019

GearBest is one of the best sites considering order tracking systems, after purchase support and product range. GearBest is not a rubbish like AliExpress or DealExtreme and does not create obstacles like Amazon or E-bay (shipping payments, shipping range, stock levels etc)
Yes sometimes you may experience order delays but you know, they use local vendors for products. It's really understandable and who needs a wrist band so urgent? Right?: D
I like spending time on GearBest hope they keep their enthusiasm.

Já fiz inumeras compras na loja Gear Best, não tive problemas e nem dor de cabeça com nenhuma, algumas deram problemas, mais por conta dos correios, e mesmo assim a loja resolveu, recomendo a todos, podem comprar sem medo, a loja vende produtos de qualidade, são muito bem embalados, e tem os melhores preços também, sem falar que quando há algum problema eles resolvem imediato, e não estou falando todas essas coisas por esta ganhando nada da loja, aliás nem estou, é por quê gosto de divulgar cosias de qualdiade, para que outras pessoas se beneficiem também e não tenham dor de cabeça.

Excellent experience
January 26, 2019

Hey!

This was my first gearbest shopping experience and i have to say it was an excellent one.

Firstly, the discounts are insane. Mostly all the products are on flash sale and if not, you can easily find discount codes for them.

Secondly, i ordered my product on 11.11, and it arrived on 14.11. I would never imagine it would be possible for the item to arrive so fast. Even in my own country, the logistics aren't as good as this.

Anyone in doubt, i would definitely recommend buying on gearbest.

Here's to many more good experiences!

Cheers!

Very bad customer treatment. Be aware!
After 3 month of use only the Mi vacuum cleaner I bought started to stops and turn it self off after 15 minutes of cleaning. Customer service suggested to send me new battery for free. After a month I asked whether it was sent or not and the answer was not yet. After another month I asked again and the answer was NO, and they asked me to pay 45USD for reshipping. I refused to do it and sent the vacuum cleaner for repair using they RMA form. It cost me 55 USD. Mean time half an year past. After having the vacuum for one month in the repair shop GearBest customer service updated me that they couldn't repair it and because it is more than 45 days money back guarantee passed and suggested me 100USD back (when the vacuum it self cost around 300$)! I asked them to send me new one because they have one year guaranty and this is not my fault it can't be repaired but they didn't agree. After many mails and escalation to customer service supervisor they agreed to pay me 230USD.
When it works, it is a good product. The Gear Best customer support turned out to be GearWorst experience!

The site works, just as any other. Transactions are secure, the shipping times are acceptable. Products match the description, they are (mostly) good quality.
