I went to Gearbest because of it's low prices.

Last year, my friend ordered me a gaming mouse because I didn't have a paypal at the time. When it didn't show up, I thought he just sent it to his own house or something. He swears he sent it to my house. It never showed up. I was still kinda convinced he was playing a trick or something, but I let it go.

Before Christmas (December something) I ordered a 32GB Flash Drive for my Wii. It was $8.xx. It's been around 13 weeks and it never came. Since the money was so little, I'm not going through the trouble of getting a refund. I'm just never ordering from them again.

Has anyone else had experiences like this? Was it just bad luck both times or what? If it makes a difference, I checked out as a guest.

Prices were very good to me, when I bought my laptop.
UPS is shit though.
The peices aren't terrible, but gearbest.com was just way better. I found the links i bought. The usb drive was on sale or something, if was 8 usd

Request your money back immediately. Tell them you didn't get your order. One time a R4i Site scammed me so I requested my money and got it.

thats because that stuff is unbranded, unsupported, and made with the lowest quality components and at the lowest cost

you can get away with some stuff but flash memory and a mouse you should buy name brand, stuff that won't break after 10 mins

but yeah, just just file a dispute with paypal or whatever, but its most likely past the limit to request one now

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
