I am happy with my free EE power bank.
Its currently charging my hoverboard whilst I am out for the night.

Would never touch gearbest again, absolutely terrible customer service when things go wrong
Can't fault them for speed of delivery from Hong Kong with expedited delivery, literally took a few days but they sent me the wrong item.....return policy states that of its
their mistake then they'll refund or replace without sending the wrong item back, would they stick to this? Would they heck!
Not even PayPal would enforce their returns policy and wanted me to post it back.....£40 to post a £50 item back?!? No chance
Do yourself a favour and pay a little bit extra elsewhere

Heads up to anyone who has purchased a powerbank from Gearbest

I purchased two Xiaomi 10,000mah powerbanks from Gearbest. One in September and one in early Dec.

The one from September is genuine but the recent one from December arrived and is 100% fake. It's noticeably lower quality from the original genuine one and visibly different in several ways. The strange thing is that it checks out on the mi.com verify site so this is no longer a reliable way of verifying Xiaomi products. Perhaps Gearbest are putting fakes into genuine boxes.

Do not purchase anything from Gearbest.
I received a faulty phone which then died. They offered partial refund or me pay to return to China.
Absolute nightmare company to deal with!

better to get off banggood

the humour is clearly lost on you....... rofl

I got one of these from Banggood a couple of months ago (£7 something and took just over a week to arrive) and it's excellent - a real high quality item.

When I last used it, It charged my PS4 pad once and my Samsung S4 Mini a couple of times with some spare capacity left (I haven't drained it fully yet).

Also has pass-through charging too which is fab as my old, much more expensive power bank didn't.

Using the code 2015xmas at the checkout makes this £10.56. Bargain.

I have one of these from gearbest and the nice thing about the Mi Powerbank is that it has passthru charging so you can charge your powerbank and the phone at the same time. Although it does extend the time taken to charge both.

No, its actually a rather clever system. There's a scratch panel; on the side of the product box which reveals a unique code. You then visit the manufacturer's web site and enter the code. Not only do they tell you if the code is genuine, but they tell you how many times that specific code has been enquired about (and it should only be once of course).
So there!

I've bought 4 of these now. Fantastic charger. I can fully charge my Windows tablet and my Android phone from one charge of this, or do my phone around 2-3 times. Great value for money.

​A piece of printed paper? why do you think that can't be faked?

In China, everything is copied. Often the copies make it to the market even before the real one.

if the item is on promo. the code wont work and ups the Price

Nope, not true at all, I have one and come with Mi's own certificates and seals.

​but this is gear best, so it will definetly be a fake. so likely start a fire..

You have to ask: will they pay out if this starts a fire? I doubt it.

good post

Bought one last time from gearbest and it arrived and is very good and smaller than i expected. The actual charging capacity is around 6000-7000mAh as are all these chargers.
Charges my LG G4 (3000mAh) just under 3 times from around the 10% mark upto 100%

Well worth the money if you don't mind a few weeks wait :smiley:

Wow. Good price. I checked some power bank from other site. It is more expensive. I think this product suit with me. Thanks for sharing this deals.

Good charger, approx 2.5 to 3 charges of my phone -a H.7. No problems at all with Gearbest, apart from China Warehouse delays - but you pays your money - or not!

EU out of stock :disappointed:

good deal for transaction

good price!

I ordered a previous hot power bank, it shipped on the 5th from Sweden, no sign of it yet. Doesn't mean it won't arrive, just don't expect stuff from Gearbest to arrive any time soon, even from their EU warehouse.

Good price. Cr*p company.

Got one of these from bangood and it was slightly cheaper, but only by pennies not pounds. Its an excellent charger, well worth the price. Charges my Galaxy note several times before if runs out. Buy it. You wont regret it!

i have this got it from banggood it charges my g.flex 2 twice then it runs out.you get about two thirds on these chargers.anker ones about the same as are ec tecnology.

what happens to the bang good deal?

Delivery from their EU warehouse? Hope so...

strange site,wanted 2 and won't allow it to add the extra one,and 2015XMAS code makes the price £10.56!!,so will try a 2nd order later
