GearBest the "Best"!
January 26, 2019

I have been buying from gearbest for years now and have always felt good.
I had some small problems, such as sometimes slightly slow shipments (only at the beginning) and need assistance, but contacting them have always solved everything. Now it is really very rare that problems happen.
As for the warranty there is an excellent replacement / repair service, I say this from personal experience. (I sent two mobile phones for repair)
In conclusion for me GearBest is one of the best sites for online shopping, great service and fast shipping. Most recommended

Issue resolved
May 24, 2017
Updated review

I received my package on 18 May. The product arrived in good order and I am happy with my purchase.

The communication regarding problems with my original shipping address was very poor though - If support had been clearer on what the exact problem was, then we could have resolved the issue much faster.

Gearbest also refunded me $29.86 as compensation for the delay.

Overall I am satisfied.

Incompetent

Previous review

I ordered an item more than three weeks ago and paid extra for express shipping and insurance. Gearbest have still not shipped out my order.
They say there is a problem with my delivery address and I need to confirm it in a specific format. I have done so four times now, and the last time I gave them an alternative address.

Today I wrote a letter to Gearbest. This is the contents of the first page of that letter:
To Gearbest Support,
Order number W1704131307148703
Ticket numbers AT17041718507, AT17042611384, E17042102168, T17042143651

In your last response to me via Ticket T17042143651, at 05/03/2017 11:41:58 CST, you indicated that I provided you with incorrect delivery information by indicating the city of my delivery address as Pretoria instead of Midrand.
You therefore imply that your difficulty in shipping my order is my fault. This claim is false, as demonstrated by the following history of communication between me and Gearbest:

2017-04-13 Order Acknowledgment from Gearbest, with the original delivery address Note the address confirmed in my order was: Schneider Electric, 9 Old Pretoria Main Road, Midrand, Gauteng,[Zipcode: 1685], South Africa.
2017-04-17 First Ticket Gearbest request address confirmation.
2017-04-17 My response confirming my delivery address Note: City is Midrand / Zip code is 1685.
2017-04-17 Gearbest confirm that my address has been updated (even though it is exactly the same as on the original order).
2017-04-22 2nd Ticket (Web) & 3rd Ticket (E-Mail) I request an update on when my order will ship.
2017-04-22 Gearbest respond by again requesting address confirmation.
2017-04-22 My response AGAIN confirming my delivery address Note: City is Midrand / Zip code is 1685.
2017-04-22 Gearbest respond by again confirming again that the address has been updated Note: City is Midrand / Zip code is 1685. Gearbest also promise to resolve any specific issues (this was a lie). 2017-04-23 Gearbest respond once more by confirming that the address has been updated and also promise to ship in 1-2 business days (this was a lie).
2017-04-26 4th Ticket Gearbest AGAIN request address confirmation.
2017-04-26 My response AGAIN confirming my delivery address Note: City is Midrand / Zip code is 1685.
2017-04-27 I suggest to perhaps ship to my home address as an alternative Note: City is Pretoria / Zip code is 0185.
2017-04-30 I demand that my order be shipped.
2017-05-01 Gearbest respond that my order is ready for shipment and it will be shipped in 1-2 business days (another lie).
2017-05-02 Gearbest report that city and zip code in my delivery address dont work on DHLs website.
2017-05-02 I respond by demonstrating that city and zip code in my delivery address DOES work on DHLs website.
2017-05-03 Gearbest report that I originally indicated the city and zip code incorrectly as Pretoria and 1685 (another lie). Gearbest also report that my order will be shipped in 1-2 business days.

Proof of this communications history is provided on the following pages in this letter.

This has been an extremely frustrating shopping experience. I will now proceed broadcasting the details of this experience on every social media platform and review website I have access to. I will make sure that as many people as possible are made aware of the poor service Gearbest provides.

I have ordered many things from gearbest and 3 of them (air purifier, smart watch and already arrived to me. I can say that I am really happy with the quality of products. I acknowledge that the shipment is not the most quick one, however, it is better to know that everything is coming from China to Europe, so not unusual thing. Overall it doesn't really depend on them. I truly recommend shopping with the website.

I have been trying to process an order today and pay for it, however, it is telling me you don't ship to Ireland or the United Kingdom. I find this extremely worrying as I paid for another order two days ago to be delivered to Ireland. What is the situation? Also I was chatting to someone called Bertha in customer service today in relation to stock numbers and she abruptly cut me off and I haven't been able to contact anyone since. Really annoyed and concerned, notwithstanding reading so many negative reviews about this website!

Excellent place to shop
December 30, 2017

I've been shopping several items on Gearbest lately.
It is really the best place to get your quality equipment cheap.
It is regularly the cheapest online store of all with awesome discounts.
I also appreciate that you are able to choose between several shipping providers to suit your preference. The mail may be a bit slow sometimes (on the cheapest alternatives) but it always get there.
I've been in contact with the customer support a couple of times and my questions or issues have been sorted very fast.
All in all in my experience Gearbest has been a perfect solution to get what i need

Great prices, reasonable shipping speed, love it!
December 20, 2017

I love Gearbest, they have mostly everything i'm looking for for way better price than anywhere else and always give very reasonably priced shipping upgrade so I can get my order in 10-12 working in Canada, which is way better than most company shipping from the same location. They also have a loyalty program which always appreciated, who doesn't want to save more? I've never had to open any ticket for any of my order and I've been buying from them for about 3 to 4 years. I mostly order product on flash sale which is a great way to save more, often 30-40% discount.

I was skeptical about ordering online, but ever since I found out about Gearbest I just can`t stop. Their prices are just outstanding, their catalogue is awesome you can get everything you need. And their customer support is the best around, instead of making you wait days like other sites you can get your question or issue fulfilled in a matter of hours, will surely order again as the quality on their products amazes me.

Xiaomi bulb
January 4, 2018

The bulb is great. Very, very polished application for its operation, brightness is acceptable, changing colors or white temperature works quickly and smoothly, the ability to save predefined settings.

Regarding the store- i have been buying there for a few years, and I have not been disappointed yet. Products always as described, great customer support. I especially like coupons and promotional codes that lower the price, useful not only for expensive purchases, but also for small, cheap ones. In the store there is also the possibility of collecting points (for shopping, review, logging into a mobile application), which we can use to lower the price of future purchases. A little long waiting time for shipping, but of course it does not depend on the store.

Purchased two robotic vacuums and one did not function out of the box. Emailed 7 times and have gotten no reply. I've asked for a replacement or refund but the company won't reply. I've ordered from the company prior and never had an issue. This has been going on over a month.
I will never order from them again and would encourage others to do the same.

Great online store with a vast choice of items from phones and cables to clothes and jewellery. Customer service is quick to answer and provide a favorable solution. I have ordered more than 15 items, everything was dispatched and arrived quickly, and looked exactly as on the picture. I like it that it's possible to order via EU Express or from EU warehouse to lower/avoid customs fees.

Only quality offer, but still very wide. Fast delivery but carefully packed. I have never received a damaged product. Customer service is very helpful and courteous even if you are not. I always compare prices with other sites, but in the end, I buy here in most cases. Gearbest has a very good point system that can reduce prices by up to 30%. Perhaps this is the most attractive way to reduce cheap prices. For me, this makes Gearbest unbeaten. I recommend to everyone.

Online orders from China
February 3, 2018

I often buy online products from China. I have found Gearbest about 1 year ago. Now, I have more then 50 orders on Gearbest. So far, all orders have been kept fine. I always pay with Paypal, which is a very safe payment method. Their price is very good, and you can find coupons on the internet for even better prices.

3D printer order
September 24, 2017

I bought a 3D printer. A CR-10.
Printer is just OK. It print all the basic, not very good quality.

GearBest Customer Service is really bad. They don't help you at all. Printer was lost in shipping from China and I have located myself. They don't adjust prices. All of them gave me the same answers. Like a robots.

Price varies a lot. One day you can get it for $442, and next day is $50 less. BE CAREFUL this might be a scammer.

A very pleason experience
May 9, 2019

I've had a great experience with Gearbest, it started by ordering a 3D printer at a significant discount, and what surprised me was the speed at which the order arrived.

After that I kept making other orders, I never had to wait long for them to arrive, everything was always neatly packed and came quickly.

I like their deals, their selection of items is fantastic, and I like their constant sales and discounts, which encourage me to consider my options when looking for stuff to buy.

All in all, my experience with Gearbest was very pleasing, and I plan to keep using their site.

I have ordered few items from Gearbest, the latest being a Mi Band 2.
The product itself is very good, as advertised, and arrived well packaged.
In general Gearbest is better value for money than most other sites.
The delivery usually takes 2-3 weeks, although this is slower than I would like but it is within the advertised timescales and it is free. I haven't tried the paid faster delivery option.
Based on my dealing so far with GearBest, I do recommend the website.
