I had the same problem with two different shops. First i bought an android tv box (Alfawise Z28 Pro) from gearbest which worked only for one day. I send them email and they answered very fast and after the suggestions from them didn't work they offered me only one day later full refund. GEARBEST AFTER SALE SUPPORT 10/10. After one month a made the mistake ordering from geekbuying because of the european warehouse. I ordered H96 PRO Plus for 67.76.The item worked well for two weeks, but suddenly stopped working. I contact them with photos and videos and after one week they answered with a typical email, i answered back that the item still dont work and thats it. After two months and many emails to them i am still waiting for a response. GEEKBUYING AFTER SALE SUPPORT 0/10. They don't even answer.

My first time shopping in geekbuying and is proven to be fantastic experience.

Delivery took sometimes using registered Airmail but I switched from Mobile site to full site and discover a very nice express shipping using TNT EXPRESS to south Africa for just 12 USD. I chose it and to my greatest surprise the package was delivered in perfectly wrapped parcel for 3 working days, no tax, no custom duty.

Again I had a problem with first Bluetooth speaker I ordered, I made I short video to show them. Through contacting the company Tronsmart and geekbuying, they offered me full refund.

I will really continue shopping in this online store until something otherwise happens which I highly doubt.

Selective scammers
May 20, 2018

This site took my payment and never updated my order status. When I emailed them two weeks later, they said my product was out of stock indefinitely and I could order something else or have a refund. I asked for refund, and they ceased communicating with me. Meanwhile, the product I ordered is still being offered on their site and had even gone on sale... how is it on sale if is not available? Terrible customer service and fraudulent business practices, lots of bad reviews mixed in with their good ones, but many shady sites submit positive reviews for themselves to try and swindle your trust. Recommend not using them.

I've received the device with minor discrepancy in technical specification. Then I turned again to the seller. It's operator, Angelina fixed the mistake quickly and arranged sending me a right one. Thanks to customer support for quick response.

Bad assistance, I discourage everyone from buying mobile phones on this site. They sent me a faulty phone (strong metallic sound in the phone calls, practically impossible), I sent a video to prove it, I sent the phone and they sent it back after two months with the same problem without solving anything! No seriousness!

Item I paid for by Paypal and it arrived DOA.
I wrote to them the same day and for the next few days.
No response.
I Contacted Paypal and opened a "Paypal Case" against them.
NOW they finally responded.
They asked me to send them pictures and then -mail item back to China ( registered mail- cost $39).
They refused to pay for shipping back to China ( which they promised they would- in their "Return Policy "statement. So far- they have not refunded cost of item. Complete disregard to client's messages.
These are BAD "hombres" in China.

If it doesn't work... you're screwed!

SCAM ALERT!
April 25, 2018

They put items on pre-sale and then they keep your money and never send you the products you bought, even after they are in stock so that they can charge you full price.
Plus, they tried to bribe me into writing a 5 star review before even sending me the phone. They also ask for your passport and picture of credit card.
I will never even think of buying there again.

BEST BUYING SITE EVER
April 23, 2018

Due to their real deals, they are having a big success, with some problems in the past to solve after sales questions, BUT NOW THEY WONDERFULLY IMPROVED THEIR AFTER SALE SUPPORT, answering to mail request in maximum 2 days and solving every problem. Personally, Ive been refunded for a problem in shipment, fast and with only a couple of mails. THANK YOU TO ALL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, AND PARTICULARLY TO ANGELINE!

I bought a laptop from them. They lied about the value of the item on the customs form and my laptop got held at the custom for over a week now. When I wrote to GeekBuying why they lied on the form (they said the item costed 32$ when I paid 1,157$ for it); they answered that they had to do so because every country's customs are different and they had to put the lowest amount possible to avoid me the taxes duties! Which is total BS in my opinion. They are reluctant to do anything about it or help DHL clear my package. All I can do is wait and there is no way to cancel the purchase neither. The answers from the support service is written in a very bad English I can barely decipher.

One month ago I purchased a smartphone from them.

This item is still processing, i. E. not sent to me yet

I sent couple of requests about the reason why this item is not sent to me, but have not received any reasonable explanations.

My suggestion to all potential customers: DON'T buy anything from GeekBuying, because of their unprofessional sluggish services!
