When becomes valid the code BANDHK for Original Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Smartband - INTERNATIONAL VERSION BLACK on GearBest? I try to use it and it doesn’t work! I want to order 2 pieces please! Thank you!
Convoy S2+ 365nm Nichia UV Waterproof LED Flashlight for 10.11 $ before points (deal starts in 10 hours and 30 minutes after posting this!) flash sale and only 20 items at this price. https://www.gearbest.com/led-flashlights/pp_277704.html
Fix your deal timer because it’s outrageous. I was waiting for a deal, 11 minutes left, 9 minutes left, I refreshed the page (it was showing 9 minutes left) and it now it shows “deal ended”. That’s fraudulent behaviour.
I successfully placed an item to my cart, lost 2-3 seconds in shipping option, and when I clicked to PayPal, an error message told me that item was no longer available.
That is exactly how you’d do it. Unless you buy the item within seconds after the hour, you won’t be buying it.
As an example, I just bought the cell phone holder the team posted for .11 $. Purchased it about 3 seconds after the hour (order submission), and the item was sold out a few seconds afterwards (all of them). And this is for an item where the overall savings compared to the regular price would be like 1-2 bucks.
The cart is the only way to purchase a flash sale, coupon or limited offer item, afterwards you’d still have to go through shipment/order page and then paypal processing.
(edit: Should have said “my preferred way” when limited flash sale and you have to act quickly on the web store, it is not the “only” way. Apologies for the confusion.)
2 years ago you could literally take 10-20 seconds and then buy a second item. Last year it got very tricky, but it was still possible to buy 1 item. This shows how many more consumers are now actively buying on Gearbest.

this is not entirely correct, but it will work on a non-popular product …
The point is to press in shopping cart button exactly on the timer of the UTC
And without delaying for the choice of the delivery method, press the second button for ordering
But this all works only on goods of 100 or more units
I do what serp mentioned above, set your computer clock to a time server that is accurate re: UTC. I found that the apple time signal is 100% accurate to the Gearbest deals, for example “Apple Europe (time.euro.apple.com.)” and enable “seconds” and flashing separators on Mac OS.
When the promo slot comes up, count down yourself for the last 10 seconds while watching the clock and being with the cart, and then click through the cart. It is a real adrenaline rush like an order fill when buying/selling stocks
The “countdown” on the website is only an indicator when you can click through in the cart; when I use Chrome and Firefox (on the same promo portal) both show different times for the items (and sometimes, like in your case, keep counting even after the sale is through).
edit: the real pro’s hit the cart at about xx:xx:58.5 so the refresh is on the hour and you’ll be first in line for the order submission. you’ll have to be exact and a bit lucky though.
