Worst experience using online ordering. After providing payment information for a $175 order they requested I email them front and back copies of my credit card and drivers license. I cancelled the order and actually received a confirmation email the order was cancelled. Gearbest still withdrew $180 from my account (handling fee). I opened a ticket with them complaining about the withdrawal. They stated they would refund the money and another email stating they had refunded it. This was over a week ago and no refunds have been provided yet. Also, there is no further responses to my multiple requests. The phone number for support is only an answering machine. Stay away from this company.
My shopping experience at Gearbest while small, but extremely positive. A large selection of products, easy sorting. Commodity prices - often the lowest that can be found on the Internet. Especially encouraging frequent sales with discounts up to 50-60% (sometimes more). This gives you the opportunity to get the thing to be purchased at regular price You may never would not dare:)
Orders are Processed quickly, delivered as usual for Russia on average during the month. However, and with free shipping there are pleasant surprises - one of the orders was (would be) delivered directly to your home by courier service (if I was at home and not at the other end of the country on vacation). Received a call on the phone, agreed a convenient time and date of delivery, and literally not having time to unpack your bags on arrival home, I received my purchase:)
PS: Call in support while there was no occasion - I think that's a good thing :)
Ordered more than 30 times, never got any problem with product. Gearbest is a very good place for shopping. Before I found out about its existence, I ordered it on other sites. All the last orders I make only through Gearbest. I really like the system of bonuses that you can spend on purchases, as well as frequent promotions with promotional codes.
I've ordered accessories for my camera in middle of august 2015 using the free delivery options. Waited a month as promised and I have never received the items. They asked to wait for another month. I wonder what kind of excuses will the customer services will cook up? This is my first time cheated by an online company. I've dealt with online companies from China and it has been a good experience for me. AVOID this company at all cost.

Gearbest.com has been my favourite online retailer to use. As someone that that doesn't like to spend money, I find myself coming back every day to see what I can order next. They have a superb reward system that gives you points for logging in every day without the need to purchase anything. Customer service is also phenomenal and you have the option to either log a ticket and wait a maximum of 24 hours for a reply or live chat to someone halfway across the world. Then there's the ridiculous flash sales that allow you to buy some products and cheaper than anywhere else prices. Ordered products are packaged and shipped very promptly and delivery time depends on the efficiency of customs in your country, but the wait is always worth it because of the savings you receive and the quality of the products on sale. I really cannot fault them on anything and I'm sure if anyone gave them a chance they'd be seriously hooked like I am
The prices are very competitive, and with the flash sales they sometimes get ridiculously low! The communication is excellent, as is the customer service - all my questions were always answered promptly and satisfactorily. I never had any trouble with shipping. Some orders did take longer than others to reach me, but in the end I always received all of my parcels. What I like the most about shopping at Gearbest, however, is the fact they provide genuine, high-quality products, that are true to their description.
I strongly recommend Gearbest to all those looking for a trouble-free, satisfactory shopping experience."
Never received the item, Gearbest sent the item via unregistered post (not registered) without my consultation. Other items took over a month to arrive, their postal time estimates are false advertising. I was ignored when asking for my money back. Fraudulent company who stole my money.

I recently heard about this store, made and received several orders. Good prices for most commodities. Several methods of delivery in Russia and intelligent logistics!
Excellent community on social networks.
Leave honest store 5 stars. I look forward to future cooperation.
I'm from Brazil, and was a little afraid of importing electronics. But it worked really well! It arrived pretty fast and I had no problems with it. I've bought a Xiaomi cellphone and the Mi Band 3. Loved them both! The seller (the support team maybe?) even sent me an email asking if everything was OK. Very considerate!
I have been using Gearbest for quite some time for several reasons. Firstly they offer a competitive pricing structure on toys and electronics. If you can find a product, rest assured GearBest will have it at cost or below the competition.
They boast one of the best range of stock around and are quick to pick up new products.
Customer service is friendly and professional and quick to resolve any issues which may arise. They offer live chat.
Gearbest also offer review points system. You can earn extra points by reviewing products purchased by them, which can go towards a discount on your next product.
Gearbest is my first and best reseller I use.
The site is pretty easy to use and the prices are good. They advertise that shipping will take 10-20 business days and have a policy posted on their website to apply for a refund if the order does not arrive in 25 days. I have been waiting 30 business days, about a month and a half and still no package. I complained via their customer service system and have been asked to wait until 2 full months for the order. I ordered knowing I needed the articles in six weeks and as they haven't arrived I had to replace them all. My order is now useless to me. The company grossly underestimates the shipping time and then refuses to give a refund when they miss their own published deadlines. Stay away unless you really don't care how long it takes to arrive. On the plus side, their customer service rep was very polite via email but just kept repeating the same thing.

Hello World,
Today I want to speak about my good deal with Gearbest web store.
I'm not a new online buyer - around 6 Years I'm successfully using a lot off web store.
My experience with The Store is a Perfect!
Items are fully originals as per descriptions.
Shipping is acceptable for me. No any problems with packages.
Thank You to spent couple of minutes to read this review.
I hope this is useful for another people from online-buying community!

I have been finding sources for knives and gears, and came across GearBest. They have one of the wider range of folding knives available, and they do not restrict shipping to Singapore, unlike some other websites.
So far I have made 3 transactions on GearBest, and every transaction took 2 days to ship including my most recent one. That is considered pretty fast. Interaction with their customer service also proved to be quick and responsive.
Highly recommended!
Poor service, i ordered a tablet 10 days ago and i have received nothing, this people has the worst customer service ever, i left them an email 2 days ago with no response, there is not phone number to call and file a claim and if you try to contact them through the live chat option then it says that all his representative are too busy, dont buy this company or you will regret

Ordered an Anti dust plug for the first time on GearBest.com they delivered the such a tiny product with good packing and on time delivery. Makes me to prefer this site when I need any gadget which is latest on market.
Still have not received my hover boards that were ordered on December 6th, 2015. In the middle of a dispute but they send links that are expired or cannot be tracked. Worst site ever and I have done a lot of shopping online but never experienced this much confusion/distrust. Still waiting to see if they will return my money thru paypal. Do not purchase anything from them, they are a joke.

Gearbest has best sales ever! If you add GB points to it, there's no better offer. Of course, sometimes you have to wait for the product, but hey, it's a long way and you should be ready for that. In case you have any more trouble - PayPal payment is always secure and you get your money back. Although, it's rather rare that something goes wrong
International purchases are things that usually give us fear, but using Gearbest we can be sure that you will not have any type of problem is safe, fast and helpful the site the best shopping site for these types of products
Firstly i was afraid of buying anything from China... then i discover gearbest.
To be honest one of my favorite online shop at the moment.
This is a place with low price and great value. I usually to buy there earphones.
Answer: Some people will get their products, some will not. Some will get what they expected and some will not. I got my products but one was not what they promised and one broke after a few seconds of use. They still continue to use wrong information on their website even though they admitted to me that it is not correct. I wrote a review on their web site about the product that broke after a few seconds of use and they blocked it so it still looks like the product only has positive reviews. You can see pictures and read more on my own web site that I created for telling my experience about GearBest: http://GearBestreview.azurewebsites.net
Answer: Dont really matter mate, regardless, what they do if does not arrive, they will not refund, they offer to resend at your cost. Then you do Paypal dispute, they refuse to refund unless you close the case, if you close the case, Paypal will not help. In my circumstances Paypal decided in my favour and refunded, but dragged on, avoid this company in future, Bangood better
Answer: Dear Iain, you can submit a ticket here: http://support.gearbest.com/ Our colleague will reply you in 24 hours! We are sorry that the live chart is some buzy, as many people contact over the world. So that may need customers to wait a little linger for their turn. Gearbest.com
Answer: Yes Adam, did you pay with PayPal? If Then contact PayPal and claim your money back and stat away from gearbest, they lied to me and now i an trying to get my 100 dollars back. There is a reason that they are NOT on eBay... So my advice to everyone is to stay far away from this socalled Company... No mail, no adress, no phone?
Answer: They are legit, just ridiculously slow in shipping. I waited 1.5 months for my "rush" order. It was shipped out in multiple pacakges and arrived at different times.
Answer: Same here, after 3months of waiting for my order and many conversations in an email ticket which went on for 1month they promised me to refund me via paypal. No refund and nothing heard from them since almost 2weeks. Keep writing here people, I hope lotz of people read it and gearbest goes bankrupt very soon
Answer: You can try the Better Business Bureau like I did however they never responded to them either, they did respond to the tickets I opened up on their site but the replies weren't of much use and not very helpful.
Answer: I wouldn't. It's been three months and I still don't have my order and their customer service is terrible. They just keep telling tryouts to wait longer.
Answer: I would advise you to stear clear. If the site does not let you order with free shipping then you have dodged a bullet. I got free shipping but the product was damaged an only fit for resting your cup on they offered a refund less the first shipping that was ment to be free or a replacement. As it cost 25 pounds to send back to resolve the matter I chose to except the replacement it came and was just as bad a tablet as the first. Take my advice and run a mile. Hope this gives you an idea what the company is like. Run run run a mile mate.
