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.

ordering a screwdriver Kit
January 26, 2019

I ordered a screwdriver set from gearbest. The quality was the price and the price was great. Of course you can not expect high end material for a low price.
The delivery times were adhered to as stated. My article came even a week before.
I would order again from Gearbest.

*Aggiorno la recensione perchè ancora una volta l'assistenza clienti si è dimostrata attenta e disponibile. Di solito in meno di 24h rispondono alle richieste.*
Basare una recensione su un'unica esperienza può essere riduttivo, pertanto la mia recensione tiene conto anche di esperienze pregresse di acquisto sul sito.
Due parole vanno spese per il servizio di assistenza post-vendita.
Nei miei confronti si è dimostrato veloce e molto attento alla risoluzione del problema.
Ovviamente terminato nel migliore dei modi.
L'acquisto è andato a buon fine e i tempi di spedizione e di ricezione della merce sono stati rispettati. A tal proposito è utile ricordare che molti prodotti partono dalla Cina e affrontano un lungo viaggio, per questo i tempi di ricezione della merce non sono brevissimi (a patto di pagare un extra per una spedizione veloce).
In fase di acquisto sono indicati chiaramente i tempi di invio e di consegna (di solito nell'ordine di 15-20 giorni lavorativi).
Come detto sopra, tempi rispettati nel mio acquisto. Ho scelto la spedizione Italy Priorioty e mi è stato possibile seguire gli spostamenti del pacco fin sotto casa. L'aggiornamento delle informazioni di spedizione, però, tarda circa 24-48 ore.

SCAMMER SITE
December 17, 2018

Worst site I ever dealt with. You never get the deals. They wont help. All support does is give you the run around. They have an excuse for everything. Anyone claiming they got deal is full of it. Even a live support person told me the deal was working yet you add to cart and it shows up quadrouple price of what they show as on sale. Totally a RIP OFF site. Stay away!

Best online shopping site
January 26, 2019

I bought several times from Gearbest and every time everything went really well. The products arrived quickly and I received exactly what I ordered. I answer quickly and clearly to the questions. In a few words, I can only recommend Gearbest, and I will surely continue to order from them.

Stealing company
February 18, 2021

I have $25.77 on my GB Wallet. I asked Gearbest to transfer is to my Paypal and they said they would and still nothing. Everytime they give me excuses that are not reasonable. They keep saying "wait", then after sometime they say "the money was frozen because you have opened cases" and I have no case opened until now. The support are giving different excuses and they don't know what they are talking about.
I started to think that they just wanted to keep my money on MY Wallet and not give it back which is obviously stealing.

Ordered replacement Mi band 3 chargers and a 32 GB micro SD card from GearBest.

Great prices at 90p and roughly £3 respectively. Beats most other stores in pricing which ship from China. Overall could not be happier - will certainly be back for more.

GB was initially recommended to me by a friend who had bought a number of items from GearBest, again happy with the price, shipping and customer service.

Both items I bought arrived 17 days after purchase despite being untracked (quicker than many other items from China e.g. from AliExpress).

Interactions with customer service have been wholly positive and set a good tone for future interactions.

All I can say is well done GearBest!

I ordered an Educational Robot Claw Set. The picture shows a pretty cool looking mechanical arm regularly $19.98 on sale for $10.99. I ordered this for my grandson and what I got was some screws and some brown cardboard cut-outs (the picture has a black claw) and NO INSTRUCTIONS at all. Probably because this wasn't the claw set. I have been back and forth trying to return the stuff because it is not what was expected and after several attempts their final word to me was that I ordered just a part of the claw set and perhaps I should order more to complete it. The picture on their website shows the entire claw set... not a bunch of screws.
The photo is of what I received. Here is the link to what I ordered.

15 orders the last 3 years, no one mistake.
Great choice, low price, quick delivery.

A question? Customer service replies in 24h in a quite good english.

My last order was a Xiaomi Mi 8 phone. Due to a strike in my country, the delivery took quite some time. Gearbest contacted me to check if everything was ok. I didn't ask anything, it was a proactive from their side.

All the orders I made was well packaged, o fear to break anything during transport (and I've already ordered a tablet and a phone, some expensive and fragile objects).

When I order at Gearbest, I have no fear at all. I know I will receive exactly what I want.
