Ordered an item that was supposed to be delivered by mid May at the latest. I requested they cancel my order and refund my money mid June. There response is that it is in transit and refused. However, the tracking info indicates that only a shipping label has been created. Customer service is slow and unresponsive.

(English is not my mother tongue) I'm gonna post that on every platform I can find, so other people wont get scammed by gearbest! Had ordered a vacuum cleaner robot on 16.03.2020, which according to Gearbest should be there by 10.04 (worst case). The shipment information said "Mar 31, 2020 - Apr 10, 2020". Today is the 09.06.2020 and I did not receive my package! The status has NOT changed until today! I have already written 4 tickets and got always the same answer! My questions were mostly not answered! Probably they are using bots, which write a standard answer! - four tickets written, Gearbest does not want to pay back money! - the deadline has been changed several times!! - questions are not answered always the same answer - oh, and the shipping method is EUEXPHQRD (Germany Express) and should allegedly be delivered from the EU and faster! I'm living in germany. One time the DEADLINE was said to be the 16th of MAY 2020, the next ticket said the DEALINE was on the 25th of JUNE 2020 and after the 25th of June the deadline will be postponed again? No updates, no answer and no delivery! Of course the money was debited directly from my account!

In January I ordered mobile phone which was never delivered to me. I contacted customer support on numerous occasions and I was almost on every occasion given tracking number for my order which is clearly showing that I have never received this parcel as delivery failed and they keep telling me that parcel was delivered. I spoke to Royal Mail as well a few times who confirmed, that they failed to deliver this parcel to me so they returned it to sender. I was informed as well that the address where my parcel was returned is well known by Royal Mail as they return lots of parcels to this address. Since then I spoke to customer service and I raised tickets because of this issue but first one was "rejected by seller" with explanation that "order was shipped by seller" and there is no outcome from the other ticket. This issue is ongoing for very long time now and there is no help from seller or page customer support and as they just keep giving me the same delivery number to track my parcel and telling me speak to other parties ( seller to Royal Mail, Royal Mail to seller, Gearbest to seller, etc ). I was taking to consideration current situation with Coronavirus which could slow whole process down but I feel like it is taking now too long. I bought products from this page in the past and I had no problem with them but I am very disappointed that as soon as something went wrong there is no intention to resolve the problem for months. By using Royal mail page and provided tracking number I can see that parcel was delivered to Hayes in 11 days after it failed to be delivered to me in Leicester so it was definitely not available at Post Office for 18 days to be collected. The whole process of trying to resolve the issue is VERY DISAPPOINTING .

I would suggest to avoid any orders on Gearbest. I have quite terrible experience with them and I'm their VIP customer since 2015. I purchased twice SOOCAS X3 - they were even not working more then 1 year. In both cases they offered instead of repair just partial reimbursement. Now I'm dealing with order that hasn't been delivered after more then 80 days since order - I'm being told I have to wait 100 days for reimbursement. This policy is convincing me to cancel my profile on this shop.

I bought two different items from two different sellers. Both of them created shipping labels but I received none of these products. It seems only shipping labels were created, the product were never sent to post office at all. This is a kind of cheating. I reported to the customer's service, but they are useless and can do nothing about returning my money. I end up refusing payment from credit card. Don't buy from this website.

gearbest faz um serviço terrivel!!! Há cerca de dois meses fiz uma encomenda utilizando um método de envio. Passado um mês a encomenda ainda não tinha sido despachada!!! Entrei em contacto para tentar perceber o que se passava. Pediram desculpa mas o método de envio não se encontrava disponivel para o país de destino!!! Inaceitável não terem dado essa informação na altura da compra? Talvez... Para piorar propuseram um método de envio alternativo sem mais encargos!!! Pouco interessante pois além do método que eu tinha escolhido anteriormente ser o mais dispendioso, qualquer outra alternativa iria ter custos de alfandega... Pedi o reembolso. Enviei os meus dados bancários e até agora nada... Dizem que não conseguem fazer a transferência e que só podem devolver o dinheiro da gearwallet ou através de paypal!!! Serviço deplorável. Espero que mais ninguém cai no erro de utilizar os serviços desses aldrabões

Do not purchase from GearBest. I had purchased masks on March 30. After complaining twice they said it would ship within 7-14 days each time. Its May 29th and the product still hasn't shipped a full 60 days after the order was placed. Don't buy anything of this site.

This is the worst online company I have ever dealt with. I ordered some headphones online an when I chased up the delivery (which is late) I was told to take it up with the seller - They were the seller ?? after nearly 2-weeks I still have not got my item, you cannot call them and the website defers the F&A. The live chat is with a robot and when you do get hold of anyone on live chat they cannot help you. Never again, should have bought it from Curry's.

Stay away from Gearbest! When I bought a laser engraver that was to ship in a couple of weeks, and then a couple weeks passed with no progress, I reached out to them for support. Major time-waste. I ended up canceling my order, only to be told that I have to wait 7-14 business days for my refund... but the sure took my money quickly enough when I paid, and they DON'T tell you that your bank may charge you an international transaction fee. As near as I can tell, their order fulfillment model assumes that everything will go fine, with *no* provision for things not to go as expected beyond a set of pre-scripted "if this, then *that*" alternatives that seem intended to get the customer to sit down and shut up. Customers are walled off from actual support, let alone anyone who has both authority and motivation to offer assistance. "Customer service" consists of a "live chat" dialogue with someone who has no authority to do anything at all for you, and can only provide you with little more than the same basic information that you can get by logging into your account. When this became clear to me, I asked to escalate to a manager. I was told that a "ticket" would be issued, and I would hear back in 24 hours. There is no way to reach anyone by phone, and literally no way to actually coverse with a manager, whether by live chat or otherwise. Instead, one throws a coin into this virtual wishing well, and then waits while meditating upon the frustrations of commerce. The following evening, I got a generic response from a "supervisor" that was substantially the same as I had received the previous day. I wrote back to explain what I need (a guaranteed ship-date and air-shipment to minimize further delay). The next day I received a cut-and-paste response from a different person, telling me to rest assured that my shipment will be arranged once the item is restocked. I didn't order a maze with no exits, but that's all I got from Gearbest. Maybe I'll see my money back, maybe I won't. Stay away!

I wish i could offer zero stars. Order takes forever to be delivered. But the listing says immediate shipping. what they dont tell you is that they will create a shipping label immediately but the delivery will take 1.5 to 2 months.

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!
