Gearbest.com want me to delete thread here on BLF to get a refund.

Correct. :slight_smile:

Chinese stuff no fake CE required
I want 66$ to shut up

Welcome to blf. Though things like this happen. People are mostly good here so enjoy your stay.

You spent €3000 in products, buying some from other vendors Aliexpress etc. So you have experienced of buying rubbish.

You would have my respect if you open it up and test what the fault is and report back, you could tell us GB asked you to delete the thread in exchange for a refund. You politely declined and filed a PP dispute and leave the thread open for others but why the massive defamation.

I don’t expect a china company to care about laws that do not apply to them. I do expect them to ask for this thread to be deleted, and it would be wrong to do so if the product is faulty and you’ve proved it.

You can just go back to buying from Aliexpress if you think you have better protection.

Tell we what stores I should buy from then? Since all store I use is rubbish, and all products I buy is rubbish.

I don’t get the point of this thread. You bought with Paypal right? If Gearbest does not act like a proper store, ask for refund through Paypal, end of story.
Do you want to raise awareness about Gearbest practices? You could first try posting in their feedback thread, it’s there especially for that purpose.

The point is to let the members here at BLF know that Gearbest.com think it’s good practice to sensor this forum and it’s members.
I’m not out for the refund or anything like that (for like you say, in worst case I have paypal claim). So it was to inform that they don’t care about the other members here, and that they wanted to dictate was is on this forum and not.

Here is the latest reply from them. The refund is now $5.95 or $66 if I delete the thread. (not this one, but the first one)

Let me see if I have this right,
you bought 11 units, of which 1 is faulty.
GB are willing to give you the full refund for the faulty unit.
Then they say if you delete the post referred to they will refund you for all units, including the good ones.

So if you do not delete you get only what you are entitled to….
If you do delete they will refund for all 11 effectively paying you $60 for doing it.

I wish my disagreements with sellers would end up like that.

Hey sb how about locking this and letting it sink, its done and dusted.

Cheers David

But how do they or you or I know that the 10 remaining unit is safe to use? Whould you have taken the risk, selling them to customers, or giving them away to family and friends, and then you hear that their house burned down, because they charged it when they was out of the house or something?

So how can we be sure the other units is safe? I will not test one and one to find out, it was not a fun thing to experience, and what if the issue do not happen at once, but later on?

So my question is, how can GB, or any member here, or my self, be 100% sure that the 10 remaining units is 100% safe to use?

As you are selling them on, and demanding a refund for them all, you should be testing them, or are you saying GB should refund you for untested units??

This is getting weary, I am out of here.

Cheers David

You should get a refund for all the units as they are clearly unsafe. But you should now be doing it through PayPal. Otherwise you are just going round in circles.

Gearbest.com have turned around, and they have really did their best the last days to make this right. They have also taken good action about other products that has been fake.
So they are now doing thing right. For this case, I got a full refund on my paypal account. On some other issues, I will take a store credit, and try to buy some other goods. I have to thank Karen and Gina on this forum, trying to make the best of the situation, and I admit that I may have overreacted a little with this thread. But after using over $1000 on one month, and starting to get bad items, and then fake items, and with some “bad” replies on the ticket system, it got to much for me.
In about a month, I hope I can rapport back that my business with Gearbest.com is really good, and that they are sending good products to a nice price.

Good result, glad it work out for you.

If not for this thread, do you think the issue would have been resolved?

Maye, but then with a paypal claim, for they did really not wanting me to get a refund if I did not delete the first thread (not this one).
And still, the thread was not for me to get a refund, but to show the members of BLF how they wanted to censor this forum and me. So the refund is a bonus, but was not my main goal.

I had a similar thread going a few years ago about Nitecore. I only posted here for support from fellow members.

The problem was solved, and I just asked the admin to lock the thread.

Since then I have purchased around 10 Nitecore flashlights, I love their products, and held no hard feelings and just moved on.

I think the op is also after some support, until the anger goes away, and then he can move on also.

I am sure the op will still shop again at GearBest , just needs some time for the unfortunate incident to be in the past. Life is to short guys, lets enjoy our hobby.

Cheers.

Money refunded. Happy customer.

i see the ce mark on plenty of dangerous junk.also ul and ul component marks.all forged.even fake e numbers.
thats the number under the backwards ur.these are just a waste of ink as they mean nothing on this class of product.that will be the next opportunity to shave a fraction of a cent off the cost of such an item!
i have a junky charger a customer brought by for me to look at.it has all the usual ce,ul ,csa,and also a aga stamp!this is for gas fired items!
this thing has up to 240vac within 2mm of the 5v to the chip.and the fuse is a trace shaped like the symbol for a fuse.i told him the only repair i was willing to make on it was to pound it to dust with my 20lb hammer.
these days the only way to be safe with cheap stuff is to inspect it and know what you are looking at!

I think you are grossly over reacting. . .

A 5lb hammer would do. :wink:
