“Excellent & Professional Techies!”

Hatim K.

I got my first gaming rig built from Gear-up and it was very important that everything is spot on. These guys made it possible by matching my requirements and specifications. James was very patient and helpful with his suggestions. Delivery was on time and well managed. There's nothing more I could ask for, oh and they offer great after sales service as well.

“Very bad customer service”

Ismail B.
12/6/22

Very bad customer service. They promised to send a charger compatible to UAE but nothing received. Their terms and conditions for the return and refund have extensive constraints (e.g. They charge 20% of the product price if you return it even sealed). Take home lesson: Do not buy again from this company.

Seriously this is the worst vendor I've dealt with my entire life.
********Update
Lie, lie, lie and believe your lies.

For Over 100 days you kept on lying but this has to stop here and everyone has to know your are full of lies.

You talking about Support!
-One of call center representative told me to deal with FedEx by my own Knowing FedEx issued return!
-Late and sometimes not replying to my mails.

Nearly 4 months of emails and calls and here you have the courtesy to brag about " your so-called support "!

FedEx didn't try to reach me, I did reach them on 28th of July and there a screenshot of me calling them and they reassured me it will arrive the next day but it didn't.
On 24th of July FedEx located the item from Riyadh To Jeddah and it kept in transit there. This doesn't mean they tried to call me for over 4 days :/ , Bluffer

This is my shipment tracking number for every one to know about your lies.

The Problem

They stole my money.
I ordered an item from them, and the delivery toke forever and when I couldn't receive the item fedex issued a return request to them which they replied to after nearly 40 days and after they received the item they decided to charge me for the fees of leaving the item in fedex facility and refunded my only 37% of my payment " which I didn't receive till now btw"
And they banned my from their FB page so not to post any warning comments.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this vendor

Dear Mahmoud,
Thank you for your feedback and review. We appreciate it as it gives us the opportunity to see where we can improve our service to customers.

I am familiar with your case as we were supporting from the beginning by sharing the tracking link for your order delivery to be able to contact Fedex and arrange smooth delivery as you were requesting it to be delivered before a certain day.

We are using premium shipping partners like DHL and FedEx (who was delivering your order) and they were trying to reach you for 4 consecutive days before your travel but unfortunately, you were not available to receive it. After that, they were trying to reach you for another 10 days to arrange alternative delivery but again without success. When they were not able to reach you they have returned the package to us.

We have offered you to resend your product again but you refused it. As per our T&C’s we have refunded it less the cost of the shipping charges.

We are always following up on the delivery of orders to our customers to make sure it is properly delivered. But it requires a little bit of cooperation from the side of receiving customer to ensure the last step of delivery is done without unnecessary delays.

Please, feel free to reach us anytime at +971 4 223 1780 or +971 56 33 88 642 should you need any help or assistance with your future orders.

Have a great day, Gerald, Customer Service Supervisor at Gear-up.me

Beware, think before you purchase from Gear-Up.me

Yes, they have hard to find items, but beware, specially people from outside UAE and from the neighboring gulf countries, because dealing with them is purely at your own risk, like what they have mentioned in their website.

Let me tell you my experience.

This is my second time purchasing at their website, the first purchase was no problem. Yes I have received my items in good condition. So I decided to purchase the second time, but the second one, revealed me their real identity. I bought from them a SSD, to cut it short I received it dead. I email their support team for several times but nobody answered, until I vulgarly write a comment on their facebook.

And the first email I receive from their support is this;

"We have not received your emails as they are classified as spam, because of the gmx.com domain." From: *******@gear-up.com"

The Email you use to create account with them are classified as spam! How come!

Second is, I have notice on their support email, there is no person's name in the signature line. You don't know the person you are dealing with, means that you might be dealing with several persons.

Third is, the items that they send are not tested and quality check, as what them have mention in their next reply:

"Please note that we are not the manufacturer of the product and we have no influence on quality of the products" From: *******@gear-up.com

Fourth, when you agreed to send the defective item to them, at your own cost, this is what they will reply to you

Send it to:

Gear-up.me
Orynx General Trading
Cargo Village
Dubai
050 394 50 26

And again, like in the email, no person is responsible to receive my shipment.

I ask them, "whom should I send the consignment, for security purpose?", and here what they reply to me:

"We do not know who in our office will receive the package and not sure how is it connected to security? You can consignee it to Mr. Michal if you like" From: *******@gear-up.com

Is this a correct reply during this kinds of problems, or simply they don't care!

And to finish this, there is no direct line to contact with them in cases like this.
