      This is a damn lie.

      Have been waiting for my bluetooth speaker for over two months.
      I opened a pay pal dispute after 45 days and asked for my money back.
      You told me to "wait some more time" so I escalated and was told again to "wait some more time".
      Then I replied back saying I will not wait and I want my money back (third time)
      You finally agreed but told me to contact you guys if I eventually receive the item to make sure I pay you back.

      I see you posting with awesome customer service promises on Ozbargain but it's fake. Dealing with you guys through Pay Pal was painful, treating people like idiots. Just Fake.

      You guys are a JOKE

        I have to agree. Bought the same item as here, got an email on the 8th of May saying it was shipped, and still haven seen it.

        Sure it's only 44c, but it's still not worth it.

      • ievoi on 19/06/2014 - 22:33
        +12

        Yes, it is ridiculous. Its been over 60 days and I still haven't received anything, when asked about my item. You guys responded "Because it is an unregistered parcel, it may be slower than other shipping methods. " and "If you still have not received the package after a long time, please contact your local post office and also contact us to check on your behalf.".

        You seriously think the post office have lost ALL of our orders at the same time? Stop treating us like idiots and give us our refund.

          but it's fake.

          just like most of the things they sell on there site.

          i used to like gearbest, the first couple of things i got from them were good and arrived timely. since them i have had nothing but trouble from them. and after contacting them had nothing but issues trying to get things resolved. unfortunately i have to agree that there claims are mostly BS

          the last thing i got resent caus the original was faulty came in perfect packaging with pins completly bent and damage to the circuit board where it looks like it had been thrown around the office before they sent it to me..

          Almost two months for two orders. I'm seriously thinking open a dispute in PayPal as well as write a blog about that.

        Great business opportunity… offer to sell items for cents to hundreds of thousands of people and don't deliver them… 100% profit.
        You will get away with it for a very long time before anything is done and by then you would have made your fortune… :-)

          I would also add that the genius of this deal is that people will not be wasting time raising / escalating PayPal disputes over 44 cents. Simply brilliant!

        • overtaker on 20/06/2014 - 10:46

          not counting the personal information database that they can sell to advertisers

          And the 45 days wait period (post-dispatch) policy that coincides with the 45 days within which you must open a PayPal dispute.
          These guys have really thought this through!

        You read my mind. My order number is WW1404200821154929. I paid by Paypal at 04/20/2014 15:21:20 PM. It is almost 2 months and they told me to wait more time.

        Same thing happened to me, never received the bt speaker ordered in April. Opened a case in Paypal and GB asked me to wait and provided a tracking number which can't be tracked. Left comments many times but got no reply.
        Think this way, how could GB afford the $0.44 deal? They pays $0.31 to Paypal and at least $1 for postage. But they definitely makes money. How? They just post these unreal deals and wait ppl to buy and forgot. Worse case, they refund, no matter how, they win.
        I ordered one, if I don't receive this time I will open a case not for money back but for reporting fraud, hope all other OZBs do the same to get this rubbish company removed.

      Please send your order number and other details to [email protected] with the subject “ozbargain”.

      why do we need to specify "OzBargain"? is this because you accept that in general you treat your customers poorly but want to give OzB'ers some special treatment that no other customer would receive? is this just some publicity stunt here? i dont quite understand it. why shouldnt you treat all your customers the same way?

    Does this mean that the annoying camera shutter sound can be muted?

    • Russ on 19/06/2014 - 22:01

      There are a few camera apps that don't play the shutter sound, but those apps also say that some versions of Android force the shutter sound to be played.

      Here is one that I use, it's free and has some good features, like a good anti-shake sensor:
      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpeppe…

      However, it is quite slow to store each picture, and occasionally brings up a nag screen (the back button makes it go away, in the version I have - version 5.95)

      • Draxxx on 19/06/2014 - 22:37

        If your phones rooted you can disable the sound on the default camera app.

    • youknow on 19/06/2014 - 22:44

      don't know if this is universal, but my HTC (sensation) is not rooted, and the stock android camera app doesn't make any sounds if the phone is in silent or vibrate mode…

  • Sparky on 19/06/2014 - 22:02
    +2

    Are there any other good apps that work with this? I looked at the permissions of the 'helloklick' app that gearbest recommend. The permissions for the app are a bit ridiculous. Don't feel too sure about using it.
    I bought one during the last deal, it arrived yesterday.

Fake tracking number given too. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited until PayPal's time limit was up and still no word. Had to escalate it for resolution to get my money back.

        On a more general point, I question whether ultra-low prices like these are actually bargains once shipping time and enormous delivery uncertainty is factored in. It reminds me of the phrase "Linux is free only if your time has no value".

    • freesteakknives on 21/06/2014 - 13:20

      My order from Gearbest

      Ordered 20th May and shipping notice received on same day
      Arrived 19th June

      The shipping note said 15 to 25 business days so they made it within time.
      Slow but it did arrive.

      Having said that I don't think I'd chance a large purchase given the number of negative outcomes posted here and elsewhere.

      Issue that I have with them is you can't make an enquiry without having an account - other sites you can just email or live chat

    These guys should be banned from ozbargain for the following reasons.

    1 They never keep their promises about refund, resend
    2 Most of the items are never received by the customer
    3 They spam you after getting your email address.

    Eg.
    how about you choose a 5usd item, I can arrange ship it to you free.
    If any problem, please do not hesitate to contact us.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

    Never kept the promise. Didn't reply a single email after this.

    Imagine the profit they get by posting fake cheap deals and getting thousands of ozbargainers to buy it (of course item is never sent)

    Everyone please complain to authorities at least to prevent future scams from happening!

    Guys how can we report gear best as fraud and to which authority? If we collectively do it maybe someone will do something about these guys.

    EDIT: I find it funny that they say "If you do not receive the package after 45 days, please contact cusomer support to arrange resend or refund Email: [email protected]".

    So basically they want the PayPal time to raise a dispute to expire first before you chase them up so that you close all your avenues for ever receiving a refund. Nice!!

  • ozzybee on 20/06/2014 - 09:34
    +4

    I agree with other downvoters, don't buy it. You'll either receive your item in 2 months time (if they have stock) and if they run out of stock, they won't tell you, keep your money and hope that the 45 day PayPal dispute window runs out. In my book, that makes these guys scammers.

    In my case, they provided me with a FAKE tracking number for the item, it spent over 50 days in shipping (now sitting around 65-70?) and they advised me to wait longer. Opened a dispute with PayPal and they instantly gave me my money back. Why? Because they know they didn't post the bluetooth speaker and that they outright scammed me.

    I echo the call for a ban.

      Hi, jack,

      We send the parcel by unregistered parcel without tracking number, it is reference number, we did send it out, we will ask the forwarder to check and give us reponse. We don't want the Gearbest customers to wait so long, so we have refunded you first.
