Firstly When you are considering spending money with gear best you can speak with a live chat agent in an instant.. Once gear best has your money, if a problem arises with your order then you can not speak to anyone what so ever! You are told to leave a ticket message and wait for a response and gear best can choose to NEVER respond to that ticket, which is precisely what they are currently doing to me. I made an order of a laptop four months ago costing almost £2000 which is a considerable amount of money to me. The laptop had still not arrived after the 3 month delivery window had passed. When I contacted them they sent me what they are saying is proof of delivery which is just a scribble that does not resemble my or any name. One agent told me the postman must have stole my order and that's not there fault. Another agent told me I should make a claim with the courier, but I have looked into this and by law I have no contract with the courier, only with the retailer. Consumers are advised to only contact the retailer as they have no contract with the courier. The couriers contract is with the retailer, not myself. By law I am entitled to a refund from the retailer. Unfortunately, now that they have established that the proof of delivery they have is not valid they are ignoring me. For over a month now, gear best has given me nothing other than lies, excuses, stalling tactics, agents even mocking me for being upset. When your tickets are not responded to you have no choice but to speak to the pre-sales team via live chat and beg them to help you which will drive you insane as they will lie to you repeatedly and mock you for being upset for hours. You can explain to them all day long that your tickets are never responded to and that the ticket system is simply not a viable option... all they will ever to tell you to do is wait 24 hours for your ticket to be responded to, one single second after you tell them you have already waited 5 days and had no response. After I was promised by a customer support member named (Zhang) that they would definitely get back to me to resolve my issue and they never did, I asked one live chat agent why this is, who responded by saying they just spoke with Zhang' and they said Zhang' would get back to me within a few hours (which Zhang did not) Then when I asked a different agent why Zhang had not contacted me later as promised this other agent told me that Zhang' was on holiday. NOTHING BUT LIES ONE AFTER ANOTHER IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GEAR BEST THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL END UP YOUR TICKETS WILL NOT BE RESPONDED TO LIVE CHAT AGENTS WILL LIE TO YOU AND MOCK YOU YOU WILL GET NO HELP AT ALL, THEY WILL ACTIVELY TRY TO DRIVE YOU ROUND THE BEND SO YOU WILL GIVE UP. WHEN YOU PROVE TO GEAR BEST THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO A REFUND THEY WILL THEN REFUSE TO RESPOND TO YOU IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP YOUR MONEY FOR AN ORDER YOU DID NOT RECEIVE I would like to take legal action against gear best. I have asked gear best to provide me with the details of there financial ombudsman and any alternative schemes they are a part of so I can try to retrieve the money this way but they refuse to provide this information. Legally, I have to try this route first before I can sue gear best, but gear best will not give me these details which is highly illegal. GEAR BEST IS NOTHING BUT A SCAM DO NOT BUY FROM GEAR BEST UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SETTING FIRE TO YOUR MONEY WILL AT LEAST PROVIDE YOU WITH A PRETTY FLAME SPENDING IT WITH GEAR BEST WILL GET YOU NOTHING

I have ordered a Xiaomi Mi 6 from GearBest (syhl store) at the prize of £272 and after I paid £7.22 for the fast delivery I received a text from dhl to pay £63.00 and I got an empty box after more than 10 days. I send a message to gb and now waiting for them to reply. This is just the beginning .......will see what they will do to fix the issue.

I ordered this on 16 October, finally it arrived 14 December - 8 weeks - and it doesn't work! the Android app did once show the drone camera (so I succeeded in making the connection) but the drone does not respond to any motor commands at all So I asked "please advise how you can fix this terrible experience".. I made a video as asked but they only allow 10mb upload so it can only be a few seconds long - so I extracted the relevant pictures and explained all that I had done - a video showing flashing lights, a wifi link and no other response via the app would not tell you any more! "Alice" doesn't try to solve the problem, just raises barriers to resolution

Avoid these Chinese sellers! They don't give options when there's a problem, hard to communicate with, they don't offer refund! Very poor customer service. Don't waste your money, better buy on eBay or Amazon. See what other buyers say about this ob the link below. https://www.reddit.com/r/gearbest/comments/705ksg/gearbest_is_a_scam_beware/

They send me a wrong pair of shoes, then they reply to my concern by telling me to keep items and they will refund me $5 out of £35 I spent on them. Don't get caught in their cheap prices, items very low quality and no refund. A very unpleasant experience that I do not wish to anyone

Do not buy from this company. I am in a legal battle now to get nearly £100 taken from my bank account and PayPal illegally, customer service are denying it. Dreadful people, stay away.

Ok, so this is my experience buynig in GearBest.com. In general I'm so satisfied with the aftermarket service. I did many orders from this shop. All my parcel were well packed, and delivered fast. Quality of all I bought were very good. Also the customer service is great. I didn’t receive my product and I contacted with them after the stipulated shipping time explaining the situation. They were very nice and support me. Also they refunded my money to my Paypal account. My first order was a pair of spinners (they didn’t arrived) but I got a refund. Second I purchased a headphones, they are very good and the sound is great. Also I purchased a pair of upgrade cables for my headphones that converts into bluethooth headphones. I’m still waiting for a TV Box so I’ll contact whith they soon.

Support/Customer service is very responsive and always try to resolve issues with my orders – if any happens (delivery, after sale help). I strongly recommend this store for everyone who likes to make shopping with trust and guarantee of high product quality.

Great deals throughout a year! I have been using Gearbest for a year now and I have been satisfied so far. They do not have the best deals all the time, but they have really good deals on several occasions throughout a year. The last thing I bought was Xiaomi Mi TV Box and the shipping was really fast. I waited for maybe 10-12 days for it to arrive. The product is of great quality as expected of Xiaomi and thanks to discounts on Gearbest, I got it relatively cheaply.

I have been ordering from GearBest for the last 3 years. Every item I bought was of expected quality and there was never any mixup. The only thing that might be annoying is the shipping time, but that is to be expected depending on the year season, carrier etc. I live in Europe so they usually have a special shipping methods tailored for Europe where you might get your more expensive product without paying additionally for customs taxes. They also have warehouses in Europe for some items, and you can get the item way much faster in about 2-3 days, but off course this will be 20-30% more expensive than ordering the item from China warehouse and waiting 2-3 weeks or sometimes longer. Sometimes it happens that items arrive in less than 10 days, but off course this all depends on many other factors...

I've bougth a few items from Gearbest and I'm really happy with the items and the service. The items were delivered inside the advised timeframe. Had a DOA issue that the customer support quickly sorted for me. The website is easy to navegate. In my experience, the portuguese (PT) version of the website is not very accurate in the descripion of the products. It's not properly translated, but it isn't a big issue. I definitely recomend.
