Anyone ever order from gearbest?

[LouisLeBeau]

Nice, definitely love the deals. I'm on budget , but realistically I spent at least 200$ a month on cigarettes.. I wanna invest in stuff that I enjoy. Thanks for the sites I'll check em'

Oooh, I know a place that specializes in new vapers on a budget. The free shipping is VERY fast, and the prices, you won't believe. Shoot me a PM if you have interest. That pen isn't going to hold your interest long enough to get that GearBest order...

fasttech has a very active community of customers. Always check reviews AND CONVERSATIONS On the product page especially if the item is a clone.

I have bought a lot stuff from fasttech. Foggy Road dose the same thing I do is read the reviews and you find out quickly if a product is good or bad. I only buy stuff that is in stock and pay the extra buck for USPS shipping. You can track your stuff and it takes about 10 days to arrive. Never buy anything from them from Nov. threw Apr.

I have had good luck with everything I have ordered for Gearbest so far, decent shipping times, items in stock and as advertised. I think they just became a forum supplier here too?

Got an email saying they aren't able to do the soonest shipping by DHL and it'll have to be sent through regular mail .. Boo. Guess I'll get it in 25 buisness days

If you want it "now " it is best to order from a company in the U.S. If you can wait... And wait... Chinese companies usually come through in the end. Hang in there and do not give up

Same here. In the past 13 months (I placed my first order with Fasttech in April 2015), I have spent close to $1,000 at Fasttech. The fastest I've ever gotten an order from them was 8 days, and the longest was 2 weeks. Fasttech generally has the best prices plus they also have free shipping, so that definitely helps the budget. On the flip side, I've ordered a few times from Heaven Gifts. They charge for shipping, but DHL express is very reasonable in price and I can get my package within 2-3 days max. Heaven Gifts prices are generally a few dollars more than Fasttech. I've also ordered from efun.top. For the newest mods, their prices seems to be the best (cheaper than both Fasttech and HG) but their shipping is the standard international mail (so you're looking at upwards of 2 weeks) and they do charge you for shipping.

FastTech is fairly reliable and you can get your items fairly quickly IF it's in stock. A lot of times, you play the waiting game but you will eventually get your item.

I just got my first order from fasttech and it took about 2 weeks from China to Texas. They seemed good I would do it again.

Still waiting for it .. Lol. Since June 6

I ordered from angelcigs and got a bunch of stuff within the week & fast tech last week but we'll see how that goes !

 

[whodat2112]

I ordered from them once, received my order in about two weeks.
No problems.

Fasttech are excellent IMO - in fact I just received a package this morning that contained my Zero Mini 60W TC mod, an SXK Wine and a Bellus clone tank and some sundry items like spare screws, replacement sleeves for my Zero and some SS and Kanthal wire and some Muji cotton.

It was sent on the 16th and got here today, so that's 8 days to get my order using the free China Post airmail option to the UK.

Interesting. Are the clones POS? I see authentic plastered everywhere but I'm skeptical about how true that is.. Lol

Always read the reviews for clones. I've ordered from GB on numerous occasions because sometimes their items are cheaper than FT. IF you see a clone on GB then look for it on FT and see who has it cheaper. FT has a lot of active users that review the items and you can usually get an idea about the quality of a clone from their reviews. I order from FT regularly.

I agree with @apvx - the Fasttech forums and review sections are an invaluable source of information on which items are good purchases and which may be duds.

There's nearly someone always willing to 'take one for the team' should a new item appear that hasn't garnered any reviews yet so that everyone can benefit from that experience.

The forums are something of an, errm - 'free-wheeling' place - far looser and more Wild West-like than the tightly-moderated forums here, for example. There are lots of good, knowledgeable people, to be sure, on the FT forums.

Quite often, clones turn out to be *better* than the originals upon which they are based - this happens when the clone manufacturer has a chance to listen to feedback from buyers of the original items, and makes changes to improve them.

The 'Orchid' range of RTAs (of which I am a *huge* fan to this day) is a classic example - I think the cloners are up to a v6/7 now, even when the original manufacturers only released two version of it AFAICR.

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about the gear best website. Last night I ordered IJust2 (I'm a beginner, not ready for box mod imo) and it was 50% cheaper than I've seen on Amazon ect. I know that it is based in China and usually takes a month (if I'm lucky) to get the stuff but I chose expidited shipping and it says I should get it within a week.. Anyone have experience with this? Is it a scam & ive lost my $? Lol :-/ I got excited about the deal & didn't really do my homework

Gearworst does have a bad reputation of about anything negative. This is not uncommon to vapers. The remote control aircraft hobby also sources from them, with a lot of issues. I'd never order from them. Madvapes to me seems a good option. The slow processing times of months past seem to have been resolved.

I placed an order with them Friday, we'll see how it goes.

The one other time I ordered from them I had no issues, no faster or slower than Fasttech in my opinion.

 

[Earthtograce]

It came yesterday !

 

[wheelie]

Never ordered from Gearbest. I have had such good luck with FastTech over the past two years that I stay with them. Hundreds of orders with FastTech and very little problems. Never really order anything big that will affect my life if comes broke or gets lost. CHEERS!

Got my Joytech eVic VTC-mini off gearbest for about half the price of retail. Didn't realize I got it from a Chinese seller vs American (would have got American since the price was only a few dollars more and the shipment would have arrived in half the time) but when all was said and done the mod was great and been happy with it ever since. No issues for me but it sounds like it can be hit or miss.
