Fasttech
Thanks. I’ve never browsed there before.
Can’t say I’m surprised. Last time I browsed there, most of what I wanted was out of stock, or i could get it cheaper from AE with free shipping. I also heard of the scamming and shady dealing with refunds and warranty returns si I never purchased anything there.
I haven’t bought from FT either. No need to with AE and eBay.
I didn’t even know they existed.
There are so many of these online stores…which one does one go to??? 
I have bought several items from GB since i became a BLF member, they used to be quite good, but the last 2 years they were extremely pricey and did not offer many choices.
Quite sad actually
I’ve used GB a lot in the past, they where great in vape-stuff but also some lights and knives and other assorted stuff bought there. Some time ago the vape-stuff was gone overnight and everything started to change, shipping went from one of the fastest to slow if it even came at all. That was the time to stop shopping with GB and it seems I wasn’t the only one who thought so.
Some time ago the newsletters in my email stopped, didn’t even notice till now………
Like so many here, it had been at least a couple of years since I used them. In hindsight you could see that they were on the slide so maybe it shouldn’t be so much of a shock to us if true.
I would use AE if they had PayPal
Anyway I look forward to a new China offering that will maintain the long standing tradition of using English badly and gets the naming backwards.
I’m predicting GB will re-incarnate as:
Gadget Great
Stuff Better
Care Dont
AE does have paypal. Only way I pay online.
Thanks for the heads up Camaro!
Yes, looks like GearBest is gone. Last email I got from them was the end of May. Too bad they aren’t an option anymore for flashlight stuff.
Jesus! I nearly bought from them a few days ago!
I stopped visiting GB after they came out with the BS $0.01 flash sale…
The flashlight was a lie?
Article headline: Gearbest's parent company is in "bankruptcy review" LINK
BBB profile has an alert: LINK.
"Pattern of Complaint: BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning customer service, shipping and billing practices of Gearbest.com. Consumers are telling BBB that the business is not delivering items within the promised delivery date. Many consumers that purchased merchandise from Gearbest.com say that they still have not received the ordered merchandise after several weeks have passed. Some consumers that do receive their orders tell BBB that items received are defective. Many consumers claim that they [are] offered store credit instead of the refund they are seeking after their items are not received. Numerous consumers report a lot of difficulty in getting a response [from] the company’s customer service department, despite multiple attempts to reach them by telephone or email. Several consumers that do interact with the company’s customer service team are allegedly told that their products have been shipped and they are provided with a tracking number. Those consumers claim that the tracking numbers received from Gearbest.com are not valid and cannot be traced by the shipping carrier (FedEx, USPS)."
My GB App still works for me.

Aliexpress comes up in a foreign language for me. Can’t use it. How do English speakers use it?
Don’t see the relevance with GearBest, but here you go.
Somewhere in the top-righthand-corner of your screen you see the sign of a shopping cart. Just above that you see a flag. Click on the flag and you get a menu for nation, language and currency. On my screen, anyway.
Oops, there goes my $2 in store credit.
You’re lucky, I have (I had…) around 15 euro=17-18$ :person_facepalming: :cry: :rage: :rage: :rage:
