For Gearbest, as of now, time to ship also seem to be very long. My order on 11 April is still processing - itās 10 days now.
Unable to ship one item out in that timeframe is not a very good score. Normally other vendors will at least send some message to inform of any problems.
Iāll add this item to the list as well. Just to confirm: the item was listed as āin stockā when you ordered it?
Yup. Shipping availability quoted below. I'm not trying to bash GB here, but surely they can improve this.
Thanks! OP updated.
OK, I am ready to receive SK98 bundle pack 
Took a total of 10 days from order to delivery. Ordered on the 11th and shipped on the 15th.
Jacob A60 and with a i2 and a cable for my phone came out to $22 shipped including the $2 tracking that I paid for.
From Shenzhen to Hong Kong? 10 days J)
They contacted me via Youtube to do a review of a bike light. Unfortunately I had to turn them down. I have never ordered anything from them though. Just adding to the conversation hereā¦.

I was also asked to review a flashlight with an offer to review more if my review went well. After I accepted, I was sent links and asked to post other items they had on sale. We had several good detailed conversations (which surprised me). I explained the concept of shilling and that only people without ethics and a shaky reputation would even consider it. (Yes, we all know who you are.) I also mentioned how tacky referral links are, and how far too many shameless members post links in hopes of earning a few cents on a product that they know nothing aboutā¦ or worse, one thats junk or overpriced. Hopefully this will be addressed soon because I believe it reflects poorly on BLF and the grubs that are willing to do anything to earn a few dollars. REAL TAAAACKY and makes BLF look like a Chinese fish market packed full of lowlife shills. :Sp
Pending my review, I also tested their system by purchasing an item to gauge vendor performanceā¦ with a hidden surprise āsimulationā they will not be aware of until I spring it on them. Can you tell I hate shills and vendors that rip off others? Haha! No worriesā¦ they will read this here and still not be able to connect this account to my purchase account. 
Call it a āblind case studyā.
Being new, Gearbest is going through growing pains while learning the ropes of a new vendor and the proper ethics of conducting business. If members continue to receive unsolicited messages from them to post untested products, lets hear about it here. Id like to think they have learned their marketing lessons. If not, I wasted a lot of my time in explaining to them. My communications have been outstanding with them and I received satisfying articulate replies within 24 hrs. Lets hope they will continue to grow and fill the void where so many others had a good start and fell flat on their faces as they grew. Fingers crossed! 
They approached me as well I guess after seeing the Sunwayman D40A deal I posted that banggood had. Sadly, after chatting with them, they were giving me prices and coupons on lots of different flashlights, and while adding that stuff to the cart and seeing the final price after the coupon, it was in no way the lowest price. Fasttech has lower prices on those same items, without a coupon! I'm sorry, but if they are not going to give the lowest prices available, it's not worth posting about.
All the shills arenāt a great way to be publicized so Iād say theyāre off to a rough start as far as ethics are concerned.
If Gearbest does turn out great, I also hope that they are able to stay that way for a while.
My first $0.10 survival tool arrived in 4 weeks and the second in 2.5 weeks.
Not too bad, but the quality of the card tools were pretty shabby that I wouldnāt spend more than what I did on each.
Earlier in the thread, racoon city shared a PM asking him to post an offer on slickdeals.net in exchange for compensation. Earlier today, I saw someone else do exactly that type of post. Now hereās the twist: at least in the USA itās illegal not to fully disclose that you are being compensated for something. Iām not sure where this site is hosted and whether the owner has filed for safe harbor status or if that even applies in this case, but situations like this could potentially cause legal trouble for the site owner if he is aware that users are doing that and does not act. And how reliable can someoneās recommendation be when they are being secretly compensated for making that recommendation?
tl;dr version: fail @ trust building.

May explain why some are so eager to advertise Gearbest items here. :party:
They also offered me light for review, they also want me to do reviews in Turkish forums.
I am not active on Turkish forums, so they have not sent me any lights for review 
my $1 order of a red laser and multicolor led light has arrived safely.
It seems they are a legit company.
We donāt need Gearbest searching BLF for people to become shills for them. For some it can be hard to pass up āfreeā flashlights. It may not seem harmful at first but every spam post Gearbest gets someone to post for them degrades BLF.
It seems theyāve been informed that we donāt appreciate their behavior. Time is short to change before they crash & burn on BLF.
@ Racer - If that post was mine, then I am sorry if there is any trouble caused. I just asked them for the cheapest coupon they could do on it and then would post it. I donāt have any affiliate relationship there. In fact, the only affiliate I had ever done was for an exduct BLF giveaway that never got paid out to me for the giveaway. In general, I will post deals if I think itās a good deal and thatās it. I wonāt do that for compensation of any kind. I would do reviews for things if given them for review like many others, though that chance hasnāt happened much for me.
ā¦and thatās the slipper slope they are on. Given their behavior, no one knows whoās who and whatās what. If we know they are spamming members with offers of coupons and free stuff in exchange for posting here and on sites like slickdeals.net, and then those posts suddenly appear, how does the community distinguish between legitimate links and shill links? The line gets blurred.
