Slightly slower than average postage time, but some good prices available
Ordered an Apple 30 pin connector as my previous one had completely worn down and fallen apart
I received my order confirmation on the same day as i paid for my item.
The item was marked as shipped 5 days later, with the item arriving 3 and a half weeks later. So basically a total month from date of payment for my item to arrive.
As I'm used to purchasing things from overseas, I normally expect to wait a month for items to arrive (but they normally arrive quicker).
For the price paid to have it shipped to me, I'm happy with the service, but I would not recommend buying from here if you desire, expect or need quick delivery times.
However, if you are not in a rush and are happy to wait, I have no problems with recommending GearBest.
Ordered a short length lightning cable for my Apple devices
It took 11 days before my item was shipped out, and 2 weeks for delivery. So overall, basically a month for my item to arrive from date of purchase to having it in my hand.
Generally, a month is on the upper limits i how long i expect to wait for items, but it is not unacceptable.
AS for the cable itself, havent had a chance to test/use it yet. I hope its fine. Havent had issues with items Ive bought from GB before.
Overall, I'm happy to recommend GearBest, but would definitely say, dont order from them if you need an item quickly. But if you are in no rush and are happy to wait, they've got some great price for what they do sell
Price can be good, but service and delivery might be hit and miss
Ordered a bluetooth fitness band
I received an order confirmation the same day of purchase. However, 2 weeks later, my order still had no status update at all, so i contacted GearBest
They replied to say that the item had sold out and only just arrived in stock. I then received an email to state that my item had been posted out the next day.
Personally, i think they forgot about my order. It took another 23 days for my order to arrive after that. So close to 6 weeks from ordering my item, chasing them up on my order to receiving the item.
Based on this experience, im in a mixed mind about buying from them again. I did receive my item, but the service wasnt the best.
But overall, i guess if the price and item is right for the item im interested in, i will consider another order.
I received my order in 18 business days, it sure took a while but my order was very cheap and quite fun to play with (pocket lamp).
GearBest have quite cool gadgets on their site and browsing is quite fun, the fact that things are so cheap means it's dangerous for me as I tend to buy random things.
Shipping takes forever but it eventually arrives safely as promised.
They don't spam you with emails and the pricing is pretty good.
However I see customer service isn't very good (from their FB page) so try and avoid ordering items that are expensive.
Regarding recent news of a woman dying from use of cheap electrical chargers, I have changed my mind about this store and many other cheap electronic stores online.
Beware of the things you buy as they may not be safe, I will not shop at these places again unless it's for non-electrical goods.
This site has such cheap stuff, I love the cheap little things you can pick up for fun. I got some cleaning cloths and they arrived in 15 business days.
They're really cool and will be useful for taking travelling as they're compact. Would use this store again, stuff you buy will arrive...it just takes a while.

I ordered some Google glasses off here, came in 9 business days which was quite impressive for Gearbest as they are usually so slow.
However they don't come with instructions and I had to watch a video on how to piece it all together. Also I don't think it came with enough velcros but I didn't pay much for it and it is functional so I am happy.
I'd only ever buy things less than $5 from Gearbest because things take a while to ship and you can't judge something's quality from the site.
I've made over a dozen orders and all of them were delivered in perfect condition and have good quality. I get exactly what I want in good price. Gearbest processed all my orders very fast - approx 2-3 days to shipment.
The exception was one of the orders with unavailable product that was sent in another shipment. I will be certainly shop in Gearbest in future.
