When it comes to China-based online shopping sites, those selling gadgets should be the biggest in terms of store quantity. Especially in Shenzhen, where the majority of electronic gadget factories are located, you can find online gadget shops doing international business everywhere and Gearbest.com is one of them.
Store background
Although Gearbest leaves an England-based office address on its official website for contact needs, its major operation centre as well as warehouse facilities should be positioned in Shenzhen. It is, in nature, a Chinese online international store serving global buyers. From the Norton Secured (powered by Verisign) identity verification page, I noticed that Gearbest.com belongs to SHENZHEN GLOBALEGROW E-COMMERCE CO LIMITED, a tested legitimate Chinese company owning a number of shopping sites.
Store credibility
I personally believe that Gearbest.com is a legit site after a thorough investigation into it. Here are my reasons:
1. It is backed by the powerful e-commerce company based in Shenzhen.
2. The shopping site is protected by Norton and users don’t have to worry about information leaking while using it.
3. It accepts safe payment methods such as Paypal or credit cards.
4. I have received a quality-made product from the online store. Click here to read my review of the novelty glasses offered by Gearbest.com.
Highlights of Gearbest
What Gearbest.com impresses me most is the refreshing style of its homepage. Being simple and neat, it looks so comfortable and every product showcased there looks amazingly cool. Just as how it advertizes itself, it is a store where we can buy all kinds of cool gear, including cell phones and accessories, tablet PCs and accessories, car electronics, audio and video, LED lights, lifestyle supplies, men’s clothing and more. A total of over 100 categories are carried by the store and it is a good place to find inspiration on how to lead a cool and fashionable life with lovely gadgets.
Like other popular gadget shops such as Banggood.com or Focalprice.com, Gearbest.com offers a competitive wholesale price for each product plus worldwide free shipping. Some gadgets there are available at as low as under $1.
One great attraction of Gearbest is its customer-friendly warranties and return and exchange policies. If you are not satisfied with the product purchased from the site, you can return it for a refund within 45 days of receiving the package. Also, you can send it back to the store for an exchange within 3 months of receipt. In addition, the store provides free repair and lifetime technical support.
The customer service provided by Gearbest.com is quite impressive, too. Besides 24/7 live chat service, you can reach its service staff through its USA helpline +1(899)-138-0318 for any pre-sales or after-sales issues. I always believe that a Chinese site needs courage and enough human resources to provide phone call service. As for the quality standards of its customer support, why not give it a try yourself?
Money-saving tip: do remember to search for valid Gearbest coupon codes before making payment for an order with the store.
Good quality for the cheap price. No extra taxes. Shipping is free. I love the gadgets and products in Gearbest. Keep going.

I’ve ordered a mi band on Gearbest.com because they had the best price and seemed to be reliable. The fact that shipping is free is something I really appreciate. The order of the band was simple, especially because I was able to pay with paypal. Of course the shipping time for the free shipping is very long, but that wasn’t a Problem for me. If you want to you can always chose a faster shipping method. The band was in is original package and worked perfect.
I’m very happy with Gearbest.com and happy that I found the website. Looking forward to order there again!
I can honestly say gearbest.com is very good. Iam from the UK. I have purchased over 10 plus items from them. Including a mobile phone. Mijue T500 for 200USD in Oct 2015. It took 3 weeks to arrive. But that’s expected as they are based in China. All the products including the phone was exactly what I expected and their customer device is pretty good. They have very good English and understand what is said. I can honestly say they are great to buy from and Amazing value. Also you get Paypal protection… What can go wrong?
They have my vote 100%. I even made a purchase today from them.
Gearbest is safest online store on web, gearbest is the best
In this shop the lowest prices!

I have ordered many times from gearbest. I’ve always gotten the item that I ordered in a fairly reasonable time (considering that I went with the free shipping). Remember that these items travel a long way through a number of hands, to get to your door, so get a tracking number. I would, and continue to, recommend this site to friends
Be smart don’t let those Chinese people steal your money. Don’t buy from them.
Theives.!!!!!!!!!!!! Beware don’t buy from them.

I ordered a jacket from Gearbest in August. When it hadn’t arrived two months later, I requested a refund. They told me I should wait a little while longer as these deliveries can take up to 60 days! (They must be sending it by rowboat) After a lot more rigamarole, they offered me a 50% refund. This is a disgrace. They make cheap stuff in China and then pay nothing for delivery. Steer well clear.
Before my vacation i’m buy in GearBest power bank Xiaomi 10000.
Payment and shipping was fast and i got it before my trip.
High quality and capacity is true. Power bank is really great.
I was charge my iphone 4s 6-7 times.
So GearBest as shop is amazing for me. There a lot of Xiaomi and other cool stuff.
Price is normal and fastest support.

I had a very good experience with Gearbest: I didn’t know Gearbest before my order, I wanted to buy a Ulefone Paris smartphone and on the official Ulefone website, gearbest is the first Online shop. On 21 october I placed my order W1510201241325166 and after few days I received my tracking number; I also asked some questions to the customer care and the answers were very fast. The parcel arrived after 15 days from my order on November 5th: I am very sarisfied and I think I will order again some other stuff.
GearBest have an Extremely Varied Reviews online because Astroturfing is Huge with online review sites. Go Google “Astroturfing reviews”
Also GearBest offer affiliation pay backs. So all their affiliates publish “fake” good reviews so GearBest is seen as a good place to purchase Cheap Chinese Gadgets… And if you’re lucky, that’s all you’ll get “Cheap Chinese” made land fillers.
You seriously bought those Novelty Glasses! That tells me a lot about your character.
Another Online site gaining revenue from useless Adds etc…
I ordered and paid for a DOOGEE F3 PRO phone in early September with promise it would ship out in 6-7 days. After a month or more of empty promises they7 told me it was no longer in stock. I then chose a similar second choice phone for slightly more money. They asked for the difference in price to be paid and stated it would be in stock SOON. After a few more ignored e-mails I decided the writing was on the wall and settled for a poor third choice mainly because it stated it was in stock in the EURO warehouse. This did arrive fairly promptly but now nearly two months after my initial order. This phone is not brilliant (TCL 3S).
I will nbever use Gearbest again and would not recommend you do either!
