Never buy from them. At the beginning of February i paid for a robot vacuum cleaner that was supposed to be delivered in 10-18 days. When that time passed, they've asked me to wait 7 more days. When that passed too they have asked me to wait 20 more days. Keep in mind that they always refer to days as working days. So 45 days for them equals 2 months. When the 45 days passed they've asked to wait 5 more days. In the end I've lost my patience and warned them i will open a dispute with my bank. They then offered to refund me the price of the vacuum cleaner but not the shipping or insurance because "it's not their fault'. I asked them to tell me who the shipping company is. They said they can't. Tracking showed 3 companies in total until it stopped. Support is aplogetic but totally useless. Most answers are confusing. In the end, after filing a claim with by bank and almost 4 and 1/2 months since the original purchase date I got my money back. Most online good reviews are fake. They offer points on their website for good reviews. Still, i do believe that sometimes, some folk ger their products. But if i had to fight them for more than 2 months to get my money back in a case that was clear as day (non-delivery) i can only imagine the horror through which one must pass if the product gets delivered but it's either DOA or develops an issue later on. Banks can't do much in this case so you're on your own. Beware!!!

Never buy from them. Would not even send me a manual. The ear pods purchased only last 2 hours. I received them as a gift so didn’t have purchase info. Their customer service would do nothing without purchase info. They are awful!

CHECK OU THE BETTER BUSINESS CUSTOMER COMPLAINT BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning customer service, shipping and billing practices of Gearbest.com. Consumers are telling BBB that the business is not delivering items within the promised delivery date. Many consumers that purchased merchandise from Gearbest.com say that they still have not received the ordered merchandise after several weeks have passed. Some consumers that do receive their orders tell BBB that items received are defective. Many consumers claim that they offered store credit instead of the refund they are seeking after their items are not received. Numerous consumers report a lot of difficulty in getting a response the company’s customer service department, despite multiple attempts to each them by telephone or email. Several consumers that do interact with the company’s customer service team are allegedly told that their products have been shipped and they are provided with a tracking number. Those consumers claim that the tracking numbers received from Gearbest.com are not valid and cannot be traced by the shipping carrier (FedEx, USPS).

Long delivery time. Bought the phone as it was advertised as being tough. Really impressed with the phone, however I dropped my phone out of my pocket and the screen smashed. The phone is not fit for purpose or as advertised. Customer service is shocking. At first they offered me 200pts and told me it couldn't be repaired. I replied saying that that wasn't good enough. They then said I could pay for postage and repair to Poland so I have to pay for it all. They could not tell me how much the repair bill would be! Why would i pay for postage and then wait for a repair cost?? Why should I pay anything when the phone is not tough and cannot survive an accidental drop? Also why could it suddenly be repaired when they first told me it couldn't be?? They keep stating the warranty but it has nothing to do with this. The Main fact is that the phone is not tough and strong like advertised. Please buy this phone from another company as Gear best is shocking and useless.

Ordered loads of stuff from GB in the past, everything was perfect and delivery on time, but now it's all changed, so of course I ordered again, then told its out of stock, but it was still listed, they would not refund PayPal, only GB wallet! Used the wallet to order another item, still not arrived, support ticket error! Shame, but I won't be using them anymore! Give my money back!!

Ordered some masks from Gearbest and not only did the delivery take a month but turned out to be a knockoff of an authentic Korean brand. It charged more for these masks claiming they were "Korean made", shipped from the "USA." My order was actually shipped from a China warehouse and there's even a typo/misspelling on the packaging these masks came in. If you can read Korean you'd recognize the typo (among other details) right away, especially when compared to the packaging of the authentic Korean brand it tried to copy from.

They advertise items they don't have, they advertise shipping times they can't process. Had to let paypal get my money back because they always had a excuse why they can't ship or refund me. Never again with gearbest!

Very bad place to purchase on line. FULL SCAM, DON WAIST YOUR MONEY. Over a month emails back and forth to customer service and nothing has been resolved yet.

Gearbest.com is the worst place to buy on the Internet. They list products as available that they do not have in stock. They tell you that in 5 days it will be sent but after waiting for 20 they still cannot tell me when they will send my order.

Stay well away from these robbers. I ordered something that clearly said "1 in stock" when on the website. I didnt recieve it. I got in touch with them, and they said it was out of stock, to which i replied i probably bought the last one, and would they check to see if it was me. I got the runaround, until i found the same product on a different page of their site. They said they would send that out to me, and would give me confirmation of when it was being sent. I heard nothing. Its been about 2 months now, and i cant get in touch with them. Trying to contact them through the process on their site keeps giving me an error warning. I reckon thats down to my IP address, and they know its me trying to get in touch, so im blocked. Google them, the tell tale signs are there. its what i should have done before trying to buy from them.

I place an order based on information on Gearbest website. After I paid, I got an email notifying me that my order will arrive 2 weeks later than promised and the package can't be tracked. I tried to fill out the form to contact the company and it was rejected twice for unknown reason (each time I had to fill out all information from the beginning). No way to contact them, no way to cancel the order

Order no: 19041500989803137902 Ticket no: AT200302015354 Ho acquistato un PC 8 mesi fa al prezzo di 397.99 e per un differito di fabbrica ha fatto un corto circuito sulla scheda madre. Ho contattato Gearbest per risolvere il problema attraverso la GARANZIA LEGALE di due anni. In base alla garanzia legale il venditore è OBBLIGATO per legge di ripararlo o sostituirlo. Mi hanno risposto offrendomi 160USD per ripararlo da solo al quale io ho risposto che il tecnico mi ha comunicato che è non è riparabile. Allora gearbest ha chiesto scusa e ha detto che più di 200 USD non possono darmi perché, cito "l'ho già usato per 8 mesi". Se doveste comprare articoli elettronici costosi tenete conto che Gearbest VIOLA LA LEGGE e NON RISPETTA la garanzia legale. Attualmente sono in contatto con il mio avvocato per iniziare un processo e recuperare ciò che per legge mi spetta.

Avoid at all cost - total fraud!!! Bought 300USD item for 3-7 days delivery from Germany. On day 4 my order got updated with DHL parcel number which DHL could not track but thought this happens. Having waited a week then another - nothing came in, Started contacting Gearbest and the seller - Lots of great words of reassurance - they collectively all over my issue - great!! Guess what - 30 days in and my item still remains undelivered. Seller is responding, gearbest liaisng with seller - my parcel number still bogus. 300 USD taken from account. Now working with the bank to get my money back as this is a clear fraud case. Maybe it is only me not being lucky but this was the last time I shopped there. Whole experience truly shocking!!!

Worst purchasing experience I’ve had. Pre-ordered a drone in December with delivery indicated for January. Cancelled order in March due to delivery being pushed back to April. Not worth the hassle. Recommend to shop elsewhere.

We had ordered a robot vacumm. We received it on 27/09/2019.It had a problem with the right wheel and it was not working.Since 11/10/2019 I was sending mails to Gearbest . but had no reply. Anyway on 22/10-2019 the reply to me asking fotos,videos,invoices and so on.I sent everything.Then I waited 10 more days for a reply. Then they told me that the 45 days for return had passed ( of course I was waitng their reply).Anyway I agreed to sent me a spare part. I received it on 17/01/2020. and it was THE WRONG wheel. I start to think that they are jocking. I informed then immediatelly and the reply to me on 25/02/2020 (after a lot of mails) asking fotos,videos and so on. I still dont know which will be the conclution. So according to my opinion, you have to stay away
