1. Goods are damaged

GearBest is doing everything to deliver the goods to customers in the most reliably. They focuse mainly on quality packaging of electronics and fragile goods, but sometimes even this may not be enough. In this case, you are 100% protected. However, you must follow the following steps:

1. a) Instantly take photos or videos of damaged goods including packaging. Make sure everything is visible on video and photos. Choose the right lighting and distance.
2. b) Contact the GearBest Customer Center within 3 days of receiving the product (read more about customer support here)
3. c) Describe in detail the problem, attach photographs or video.
4. d) Return the goods back to the seller according to the customer’s service instructions. Keep your postage documents. If the goods are found to be “damaged during shipping”, GearBest will cover all costs. The product will be inspected by professional technicians who will evaluate the damage.
5. e) You have to decide if you want to replace the damaged part with a new one or return the money for the goods.

 

2. Goods did not arrive complete or did not match the order

When you receive your order, always check that the order is complete. In rare cases, something may be missing or there might be items that you have not ordered. In this case, the procedure is as follows:

1. a) Instantly take photos or videos of damaged goods including packaging. Make sure everything is visible on video and photos. Choose the right lighting and distance.
2. b) Contact the GearBest Customer Center within 3 days of receiving the product (read more about customer support here)
3. c) Describe in detail the problem, attach photographs or video.

This complaint is basically resolved as follows:

• If the order is not complete, GearBest will provide you with the rest of the order at their expenses.
• If you have received other goods than you have ordered, GearBest can return you money or send the right product. GearBest then decides whether you need to send back the wrong product, but in this case the GearBest pays the postage.

 

3. Items do not work

Refund of money within 45 days

If the goods go wrong, most of the GearBest products can be returned within 45 days. Your money will be refunded, but you will have to pay the cost of sending the product back. Exceptions include products whose use is associated with significant mechanical stress, Remote control toys and other goods, associated with significant mechanical stress, are excluded. For these warranties, a 45-day money back guarantee does not apply. But there are other ways to claim such goods.

During this period, the customer has a right to have a free repair. In order to get your goods repaired, you must contact the GearBest Customer Center.
