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
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.
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.
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.
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.

Super super long delivery times, if it comes at all
Ordered a torch in to leave in the car in case i ever needed a brighter light at night
delivery was free. after 6 weeks, my item did not arrive and so i contacted them. I was told to wait another week in case there was a slight delay. One week later, my item still did not arrive, so i contacted them again.
they arranged to have the item sent out to me again. 6 weeks later, my item arrived, though not at my requested address.
The torch works as advertised, though with the poor service and extremely horrible delivery times, i'm severely inclined to not buy from Gearbest again and would definitely not recommend them to others.
I would rather pay a higher premium with another company to have a smoother and more reliable purchasing experience. Only if the item was only available from Gearbest or was at a significantly cheaper price, would i hesitantly consider purchasing from them again
