The global market for goods is getting closer to each of us. Not the last role in this is played by large online centers, which offer a huge range of products. With their help, a buyer from one point of the globe can order any product at an affordable price from another point in just a couple of clicks and receive it after a few days. It all sounds like a fairy tale, doesn't it? But it is a reality!
In this article we will talk about one well-known Chinese online store, which is full of various products for every taste. Besides a wide range of things, quite sweet prices for all products can also be offered here. The address of the resource in question is http://www.GearBest.com.
Reviews describing the resource characterize it from the most positive side. In particular, even domestic buyers call this store one of the best in many respects. In more detail about what it is, as well as about the procedures for registration, payment and receipt of goods, we will tell in today's review.
GearBest Product Selection
Customer reviews, which describe a particular shopping center, often begin with a description of its range. This approach was developed for a reason: it is important for people to be given the opportunity to make a choice.
It doesn’t matter what you buy - a cover for your smartphone, a handbag or sneakers, but you definitely want to look for different models, sort out manufacturers, re-read reviews from the same customers. All this can be facilitated only by a large assortment, which is definitely available on GearBest.com.
The reviews we managed to find prove: the resource is really huge. Judge for yourself: it presents products in 16 categories, each of which is a cluster of additional subtopics. For example, there are sections “Electronics”, “Auto / Moto”, “Home and Garden”. Obviously, each of the designated has a number of its own subcategories, where there is a mass of goods. If you try to imagine how much is on www.GearBest.com (reviews confirm this), then your head will just spin ! And, of course, even the most fastidious buyer will definitely like any of these.
Special sections
To make sure that a lot of things are presented on the site is not difficult: just open one of the sections and start to “bypass” the categories on your own - you will see a lot of all interesting and, at first glance, useful. Perhaps this is the secret to the success of Chinese products (including those sold on GearBest). Reviews note the same thing: most of the products that are put up for sale here create not so much practical as emotional value. A person just wants to get hold of a convenient and seemingly attractive case for a smartphone; to get a “that one” coat hanger and all that. The Chinese are masters in the genre of creating such things.
But this is not the main thing. All this product is presented masterfully - with the help of special sections. These are not the categories that form a group of thematically related things, but sections where, for example, discounted goods are offered. By ordering them on the site, you get the opportunity to save, for example, up to 50% of the value of the thing. And, of course, such goods are ordered in large volumes.
Or, for example, on GearBest (reviews will confirm) there are sections with new, recently arrived goods. In them, the buyer can find some fashionable novelties that will delight him before the goods become popular in stores in his city.
The same goes for “Cool.” In it, the developers of the portal, obviously, have placed the most popular products that may interest customers.
Discounts
A positive feature of the portal we are describing can clearly be called a flexible system of discounts. If you climb the GearBest catalog (customer reviews indicate that this is exactly how many make their final choice as to what they will buy next time), then you can notice a lot of products marked as “discounted”. This is not some regular marketing trick or trick for the buyer. In fact, many sellers agree to offer their product at a lower price in order to earn a certain rating in the store and thus strengthen their reputation.
Since there are a lot of such sellers, the buyer has a constant chance to “run into” the next discount. And the authors of the site are great in the sense that they managed to put all these special offers together and thus make navigation on discounted goods more convenient. For example, it even indicates the exact amount of money that you can save. Really simple, easy and affordable!
In addition to regular discounts, there are also special periods of time, which are characterized by the presence of some special conditions for the purchase of goods. In particular, it can be the famous Black Friday or some significant day for the store (something like a birthday). At this time, on GearBest (reviews of the store will prove it) you can buy goods at a cheap price. In principle, those who are aware of this do so.
registration
So, suppose you decide to purchase something on the site we are describing. To do this, of course, you need to go through the mandatory registration procedure, during which you tell the site your data, and in return get access to its functionality.
This procedure is carried out very simply: as on all other Internet resources, you will be asked to indicate your contact details, mail and password, as well as a phone number to receive your goods and contact the administration and seller. All this does not take more than a couple of minutes of time.
At the time of writing, the action was on the site. If you register, you will receive a (allegedly) $ 50 coupon. In fact, the Chinese went on a tricky trick.
After creating an account on the site, you get 10 coupons that provide a discount of $ 5. Moreover, according to the terms of the site, each of them can be applied only to one product, the cost of which exceeds $ 50. Buying things here, you can really save a little due to such a price, but you can’t manipulate these things.
Product selection
Choosing the things you buy here is easy. For this you can use, for example, a search form. Enter the name of the item, indicate its modification, variety and select the desired lot in the drop-down list. The most relevant results will be presented here.
Another way to buy something on GearBest (reviews of the site show that many visitors do the same) is to conduct a manual search using a hierarchy of categories and their sections.
For example, if you want to choose a smartphone for yourself, but don’t know the exact name, just go to the “Mobile Phones” section, choose an operating system, and also determine the amount of memory, screen size and other criteria. Thus, the site as soon as possible will make for you a list of interesting products.
Finally, the third method of selecting things is to study the experience of other people. In particular, I am referring to the search for some video reviews and blogs in which authors order goods from Chinese stores, after which they publish a direct link to a particular thing. When making a purchase at such addresses, you can be sure that an object of proper quality is waiting for you.
Payment
Considering that goods are ordered from counterparties who are physically located in a remote country, where a completely different currency goes, a logical question arises: how is payment made? But we also have a positive answer to it: it’s not worth worrying about how your money will be transferred. The Chinese representatives of the site have developed a universal system of receiving funds, thanks to which you can transfer to them both money from Visa / Mastercard and funds in the PayPal payment system.
Delivery
You should not worry about how the goods will be transferred to you personally. Sellers have a number of delivery options, among which you, as a buyer, are given the right to choose. In particular, airmail delivery is considered the most common. It takes an average of 3 to 5 weeks and at the same time costs free. All this is due to the low cost of services of this type of transport.
For more expensive items, and also if the buyer wants to receive the goods as soon as possible, there are services like TNT and DHL. Their services, depending on the size and weight of the product, will cost $ 40-60. But the package will be in your hands in a couple of days.
Deal protection
Another exciting issue may seem to be the reliability of the purchase of goods on the described site. After all, as we all understand, protecting your money on the condition that your seller is located somewhere in China is very difficult. To do this, remember a few elementary rules.
First, always check the sales history of the person you intend to collaborate with. Obviously, you should not place an order (at least large) with someone who has up to 10-15 sales. We recommend contacting more reliable stores that value their reputation.
Secondly, be sure to check reviews on a particular product. Like GearBest.com reviews, they can tell a lot about the seller’s working methods.
Thirdly, do not rush to confirm the transaction by transferring funds to the supplier finally. It is better to check the quality of the lot received, after which, making sure that everything is fine, confirm the transaction. Otherwise, you will not be able to make claims.
Feedback System
Also be careful what comes to you as product reviews. It should be borne in mind that they are not always compiled by real people, and not in all situations such recommendations reflect objective reality. Perhaps this is custom posting, and the seller is simply deceiving buyers. Check it for other exposed lots.
Return
In the event that the item was lost or came in a defective condition, the procedure for its return is initiated. Do not forget that this should be done by the buyer whose interests have been affected. Otherwise, your transaction will simply close, and you will not be able to return or prove anything.
Store Conclusions
Reviews about the GearBest online store from Russian-speaking buyers that we managed to meet, praise the portal described by us in every possible way. Here, all those aspects that make the trading site successful are well implemented: a wide selection of products is presented, there are low prices, a system of reviews and a refund for low-quality goods is implemented. If you are interested in some kind of accessory, electronics, clothes or another lot, use the search on GB, and you yourself will be interested!
