I have already turned away from Gearbest for good, see my explanation here. Now, you guys have talked me into even removing their apps from my phone and tablet. :-D
Oh good you’re cleaning your apps. I was an app hoarder once. Never again I tell ya. Everyday is like using a fresh install phone now! 
Actually, I did not try yet but I hope it was that easy to wipe my entire account at Gearbest (including e-mail address, shipping address, payment credentials, ...).
They still keep bugging me with mystic gift announcements and that my so precious GB points will soon be rescinded. What's the point in living if I do not finally redeem all my GB points? :-D
Yeah. You can check out any time you like. But you can never leave!
A thing I noticed when (merger issues) I was forced to go to another provider, was that most sellers are reluctant if you want to change your email address. A few years ago BG would allow it, but GB was always very firm. No change possible: please open a new account. So your email address is the lifeline between GB and you. You can either terminate your email address or put GB on the spam list
Seems like they’ve become the new Radio Shack. They used to fill a niche, and fill it well (that’s what she said…), but then wanted to “branch out” into pricier stuff like phones, tablets, etc., and tossed their core group under the bus.
They also were pretty straightforward, but then got into hooks and gimmicks. “Points”, “wallets”, which turned from enticements into refund-methods instead. (RS used to have almost nothing when b&m other’n battery-cards and free flashlights, then online at least offered free shipping over 25bux, now only with “free shipping on orders over 25bux” week, etc.)
Neither one was too annoying with emails, like once every coupla weeks at most, jut as a reminder that they existed, but now they’re begging to be shitcanned as spam with their daily garbage.
And look what happened to RS.
GB was formed… when? Mid-2010s? They keep screwing with customers like that, they’ll be out of business just like RS is begging to be.
I remember when I used to have 2-3 GB orders in the air at any given time, even little crap things like 50¢ usb lights. Then no more good deals, all sorts of hijinx being pulled on people who kept ordering, etc.
No idea when was my last GB order, but nothing was worthwhile anymore, so I just stopped.
Big surprise they’re going under?
I stopped ordering from GB after they scammed me and Sunnysunsun with their GAW…
