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

They sold me a non-existent product as if they had it in stock. Seeing that they did not send it after 12 days, I contacted them. They replied that they do not have it and the shipping time is indefinite. On their page it appears as an existing product with a shipping time of 15-30 days.

The hoover constantly looses its mapping so need resetting, it gets stuck and the customer service suggestion was to move the docking station - which I did. It lost its map again and the rudest chat customer service contact (Luis) couldn't help as they only deal with pre sales. There's no way to speak to anyone post sale other than via tickets - which is a waste of time.

Huge scammers they will take your money and then not post your item out, I ordered a laser cutting machine on 31/12/19 and paid with PayPal, weeks later it was still not showing as been dispatched so I decided to cancel the order. I contacted there online live customer service and they sounded very helpful and told me I would get a refund within 3 days but i had a feeling it was just all talk and I have dealt with Chinese companies before and know they are known to be the worlds largest scammers so I took screen shots of the entire conversation I had with their online live customer service, and lucky I did because 3 days came and went and still no refund a week goes by and still no refund so then I decided to open a case on PayPal and added the screen shots as proof, best gear then sent me a message on there saying that they couldn’t issue a refund whilst a case was open and asked if I would close it. Luckily I wasn’t born yesterday and refused to do so and In the end I had to get PayPal to step in and with the screen shots and then bestgear lying and telling me to close the case first they didn’t have a leg to stand on and PayPal refunded my money but if it wasn’t for my quick thinking and saving proof I would had lost nearly £300. STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY THEY WILL TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE AND STEAL YOUR MONEY.

I ordered a product and received a poor copy of what what presented on the site. When I disputed the order Gearbest stopped responding. After several weeks and 10 reminders I now had to do a Fraud Dispute at my bank and Master Card to get my money back. Also - I had to pay additional 12 USD for custom fees.

Beware of ordering from Gearbest. I ordered from them a few items and it’s all was ok until I had a problem and since then I saw they have a very bad customer service. I ordered at the 26/02/19 two items. They had inventory problem with one of the items, so they decided to delay the shipment. After almost two months of sending them messages to check what with the shipment they agreed to send one of the products (that was on 13/04/19). (The first item came damaged from the factory and they gave full refund for) The second item was never shipped and after another two months of wait I asked to refund me the money instead back to my Paypal account. Instead they decided to refund to the GB wallet so I will be captive customer. I insisted of getting my money back to my Paypal account and then they decided to delete my account. After 8 moth and 3 other tickets they deleted I got partly refunded for the second item. While I was waiting for the two items and the refund, I was promised a 50 points compensation for every week I’ll wait, and they never done that instead they offered only 300. In the process of getting back my money I had to resign to Gearbest and loos all of my former history purchases, point, favorite items etc. After resigning I saw I can’t do any orders with my account and again opened a ticket and It’s been 2 months and they keep asking the same questions without doing anything and it’s all outcome of not refunding the money and deleting the account. For now, I still have 4 unresolved problems with them: 1. they only gave me partial refund. (after 8 months) 2. My account was deleted and never restored. 3. I can’t make any new orders because I get an error. 4. I wasn’t compensated as promised. So, I would be aware of ordering from Gearbest if you’ll have a problem, they have the worst costumer service. If they are serious in solving my problems, they will contact me directly and not send me to the customer service.

Gearbest may be a consumer fraud or fail to deliver or refund. DO NOT USE GEARBEST. For latest iterations from China, try Amazon UK.

Ordered from them Roborock S5 Max on a Black Friday Sale. Paid around 400 EUR for the device only to find out about a MONTH later that I still need to pay custom fees (around 65 EUR!!!) because the item was shipped to Europe from China... This extra cost was not explicitly mentioned when the purchase was made.

If I could give zero stars I would. If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased a smartwatch from them, which came with a defective bezel. The plastic was badly cut. After 8 emails, including 2 videos, they still said it was working as intended. So, no return. No refund. I'm stuck with a defective watch. Thank you for nothing, Gearbest. I'm not coming back.

Again taken aroud. I get an offer for a € 100 discount on a 550 product. I care because I was buying A LOWER QUALITY one for a close price. I cancel the purchase and proceed with the purchase on Gearbest, too bad that the discount codes have all been sold out since time. However, in the offer it says that it expired TODAY and not that it was a LIMITED NUMBER. Order 19110900963503345582 not delivered, they say that it was given to DHL on November 11th and that I will receive it within a maximum of 2 weeks. Now they say it wasn't available and that I have to stick to it, as usual they sell material they don't have. But what kind of people is this ???

Phone is still in free repair warranty, but supposedly cannot be fixed. I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 from gearbest just over 11 months ago, the phone is having a catastrophic failure and cannot be used at all (it is a paper weight at the moment). The phone has a free warranty repair for 1 year but after sending through information and photos of the problem i had with the phone I was told the phone cannot be fixed and I can keep the phone and they will send through a partial refund of $100 USD when I bought the phone new for $465 USD. I told them that if this phone was repaired for free I could sell it for at least $300 USD second hand, so by them not repairing it i'm losing a lot of money for a phone I've used less than 10 months before the failure. They do not want to repair the phone and saying they cant do anything about it. They have recently offered $150 USD but like i said to them this is still far from the price I could sell it second hand if they had it repaired as it is still under warranty.

Horrible company with horrible customer service. Bought a smart watch, never received it. Asked for refund. They said they can only do a partial refund because I declined shipping insurance??? what a bs. I would not recommend doing business with these scums.

This company is a waste of time, I requested them to cancel my item 4 days before it was shipped and they still shipped it. Now upon receipt of the item which I was unable to refuse because it was posted without the need for a signature (to prevent my cost of return), I am now liable for the costs to send the item back to Hong Kong, of all places, and the cost to ship costs more than the product itself. Furthermore, I had to cancel the item because the 1st item they sent to me was faulty, so the accessories I purchased were not usable. In the past for items I wanted to return they do refund you, however, it's a slow process. Basically don't buy from china if you live in Europe, because you will get your pants pulled down. I've added my ticket number because I do believe I have been unfairly treated on this occasion.

Selling items that they do not have in stock. Delivery promised in 2 weeks... never happened. They say that itwill be another 3 weeks before stock MIGHT arrive. No-one gives a straight answer. As I was annoyed they offered to exchange for other items. When I asked about various items it turns out none of them were in stock, although their site said they were. They then offered to refund to my *Gearbest Wallet* so that they could keep my money! Fraudsters! They will refer you to their T&Cs, but ultimately they are accepting money for goods that they do not have and cannot supply. That is fraud in my opinion. The dispute is ongoing!
