GEARBEST - The worst experience!!! the worst experience and customer service i have ever had. Ordered for a birthday present allowing for at least three weeks prior to when i needed the items and also paid £15.88 for fast delivery promising 5-10 working days. I was only informed after the ten days almost ended that my item was out of stock and only because i emailed them. I explained that on the webpage while i was purchasing the item it was showing clearly that it is in stock - why would i otherwise chose this and pay for 5-10 days. their answer was that they did not anticipated how fast it would sale!!! it has been 25 days now and i am still battling to get even an answer as to when my items will arrive to them so they can dispatch it. They have not even offered to refund me for the £15.88 fast delivery which of course i never got. I am actually worried that this site is a scum and that may be i need to seek legal advice! Very disappointing and now i will proceed to Consumers Protection federation.

This has to be the worst site online.They are nothing but scammers.Sales are all fake.If they price is a good deal you click it and go to cart to see the price raises to an outragious amount.Nobody gets the deals tere.Just scammers wanting your money.You can buy the same products cheaper and actually get them on other sites.NEVER DEAL WITH GEARBEST

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

Item is late. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Shipping no CF511318941DE Order no 18092600949605550758 Item has not moved from parcel sorting centre in 3 weeks, customer service line repeatedly tells me to be patient and that they will contact me in 10 working days to tell me IF they have contacted the delivery service. 'I understand you wish to receive the items as soon as possible. But we need to got feedback form shippier then can we give you correct solution. Could you please wait 7-10 business days then come back again? We will offer you the right solution as soon as we have result.' NOT HAPPY ITEM IS ALREADY LATE AND SEEMS TO BE DOUBTFUL WHETHER IT WILL ARRIVE AT ALL. APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE. - RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS APPEAR TO BE AUTOMATED OR STOCK RESPONSES, MUCH LIKE THE RESPONSES TO PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS WITHIN THIS THREAD. - I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A REAL RESPONSE FROM A REAL PERSON.

Sent broken phone (no big deal it happens), told them immediately. After weeks of complete nonsense emails, claimed it was out of stock. I directed them to their own website that day where it was being sold. Then demanded that I pay more because they had raised their price, and now say it may take 7 more weeks, paid 9/25 estimated delivery 12/7.

No dia 12 de maio comprei um celular na gearbest, OR: 18051100973222371860, com o frete expresso e o prazo de entrega de 26 dias úteis. Depois de dois meses sem atualização no rastreamento entrei em contato com a loja e a orientação é que somente depois de SEIS meses eu posso reclamar ou reaver de alguma forma meu prejuízo. Na hora da compra eu fiz seguro pra cobrir eventuais problemas na entrega e agora eles se recusam a devolver meu dinheiro. Fica aqui o alerta! Não comprem na Gearbest, ela agora resolveu lesar seus clientes! On May 12 I bought a cell phone in gearbest, OR: 18051100973222371860, with express freight and delivery time of 26 business days. After two months with no update on tracking I contacted the store and the guidance is that only after SIX months can I claim or otherwise recover my loss. At the time of purchase I made insurance to cover any problems in the delivery and now they refuse to give me back my money. Here's the alert! Do not buy into Gearbest, it has now decided to hurt your customers!

Delivery was about 1 and half month. The item stopped working after 3 months, and Theory support team was completely not professional. It looked like im writing with adolescents, some teens. After 2 next month od writing with them they said, that i Will get refund in few days up to one week. Now its half year since this and i still didint received refund. I dont recommend Gearbest to nobody, not to my friends, even not to my enemys .)

Gear best operates from China. Anyone who buys from UK should not expect any return or replacement. For a 30 pound faulty thing they expected 50USD as handling fee.
