2 years - normal flight

When Gearbest was just getting ready to start, existing Chinese retailers confidently took over the world and won the hearts and wallets of Russian consumers. In accordance with all the laws of physics of the economy, entering a competitive market is difficult. And we were also scared!
Today Gearbest is 2 years old - it’s already a mature age for the store. In our biennium, we tried everything: gigantic sales, flash-promotions, exclusive new products on the market, and, of course, problems with payments and delivery. Alas, so far no store has been able to avoid them. For our team, these 24 months were not progressive development - we ran a giant and very difficult marathon. There was no respite - let's run on! And while you read the fun potpourri of facts, discounts and, as always, interesting gadgets. Let's go party!

Seven facts about GearBest

Fact 1. Gearbest initially relied on gadgets and technology - in our store we often find the lowest prices for smartphones, quadrocopters, action cameras, smart watches, fitness bracelets and so on. What can I say, even the Raspberry Pi and Arduino we do not ignore. We are always primarily focused on low prices for gadgets and devices.

Fact 2. On the pages of Gearbest you can find your own videos and videos of users, which not only examine the product, but also apply in the most combat situations.

Fact 3Like our competitors, Gearbest has a very poor translation into Russian, and this constantly becomes the reason for jokes and discussions. In fact, there is no translation as such - you may notice that the language selection in the top panel is accessible through the Google Translate interface. If you translate everything with the help of a professional, it is very expensive and long - our users simply do not have time to find out about the new products, and the prices imperceptibly absorb a share of the translation costs. As for the automatic translation into / from the Chinese language, its level still leaves much to be desired - only two top online tools do relatively well. However, our English-language interface is familiar to almost all lovers of online shopping.

But we have good news - very soon our store will please everyone with the Russian-language version of the site. The menus and mailings will be in good Russian (sign up to rate, praise, criticize), but for the time being, automatic translators will help us with the description of the goods.

Fact 4. Chinese online stores are very fond of landing pages - they prepare them for new products, sales, product groups. Contrary to judgment, this is not a blind copy of Western templates - landing pages are convenient, beautiful, better translated and really work. And on holiday landings on the right, we highlight the sections by which ideas for gifts and purchases are grouped - you can immediately go to the block that interests you.
Here is such, for example, we made for our birthday , andthis was dedicated to electronic cigarettes (by the way, Fact 4.1 - the Gearbest team does not smoke and does not advise you).

In general, we love interesting events related to various fields: traditions, art, mass culture. For example, we have a special page dedicated to Star Wars - we ourselves are fans of the epic saga. On the page is a solid fan fetishism: lightsabers , R2D2 , BB-8 and Master Yoda in stock.



Fact 5Gearbest loves sales. These are traditional Black Friday, Cyber ​​Monday, New Year sales and discounts for national holidays. So, in 2015, we joined the 11.11 action, timed to coincide with Chinese Bachelor’s Day, which became the efforts of our senior colleague on an international shopping day. We love the holidays of all cultures, so there are sales for Christmas, February 23rd and even Easter and May 1st (although it’s an international holiday, but we took into account the Russian flavor). Moreover, sales for us are not only an occasion to increase the volume of trade, but also respect for the traditions of other cultures.

Fact 6We love PayPal and accept payments by Visa, MasterCard, bank transfer, Webmoney, Qiwi, etc. PayPal gives customers reliable protection and in case of an error or violation of the rules by the seller, you can relatively easily return the money or part of it. We have free international delivery, including Russian Post.

Fact 7. We choose, we choose. The sections on the top panel menu are Deals (profitable offers), Presale (pre-order the latest gadgets and devices at a favorable pre-sale price), New (new items and new arrivals), Top Brands (popular and favorite brands), Gifts (gift ideas for free delivery ) and Cool (our favorite section, here we load the goods selected by our team: from cool tablets to funny and funny trinkets liketap for Coke ). Sometimes we highlight news and make holiday selections for Geektimes - we try with humor and benefit.

And we also have coupons with which the purchase price is even lower :-) For example, such.
XiaoMi Mi Pad 2 Windows 10 Version tablet with 7.9-inch Retina display, 8 megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. With a MIPADRU coupon , the gadget will cost $ 239.89.


Or such for his more modest brothers:

• Teclast X80 Plus with X80PGB coupon price $ 86.99
  
  
• Onda V919 Air 64GB ROM Tablet PC with coupon V919GHK price $ 154.99
  
  
• Cube iwork8 Ultimate Tablet PC with IW8UTI coupon price $ 90.79
  

How will you celebrate?

As always - gifts for our customers. We have prepared discounts for our biennium and another small surprise. We were constantly scolded for discounts that start just before the holiday. In general, we are correcting. The sale of goods, dated to May 1, has already started. And this is not a strange reason. We know that almost all of Russia goes to the first picnics, fishing, in the woods, in the country, out of town for the May holidays. Tired of a long cloudy winter, people enjoy the sun, spring air, warmth, and the most desperate open the swimming season. For a civilized person, going out into the countryside is always a little stress, and we set ourselves the task of offering goods that would facilitate the “primitive” life of vacationers.

The more active the rest, the worse the gadgets feel: they are drowning, beating, losing, clogging with dust and sand, dying in the back pocket. It is difficult for a modern person to do without a smartphone (weather, maps, a navigator, a book for the evening, mail), so for a vacation it is better to have an inexpensive, but functional device, preferably with a good battery. This is possible, for example, with CUBOT NOTE S 3G PhabletThe 5.5-inch display is suitable for both cards and reading; Android 5.1 operating system, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal memory will ensure the operation of all familiar applications. Well, the capacious 4150 mAh battery will help you not to think about the outlet every 12 hours. Of the shortcomings - only 5 megapixels of the main camera and the lack of support for 4G (only 3G). Although the cottage, the forest and the river with 4G still need to be searched. In general, as a spare phone, "which is not a pity," that's it.

More smartphones, inexpensive and different, as well as smart watches and accessories for wearable electronics, are on the next promo page .
Attention! Prices are still old, they will change on the days of the promotion, but for now you have the opportunity to see everything and choose what you need without promotional hype.


At the beginning of May, nights are still quite dark and the first daredevils, who opened the tourist season, are forced at night to wander about their business between tents in pitch darkness or to carry a heavy lantern. The output is a head-on (conditional expression, because it conveniently sits on the whole head) flashlight with a brightness of 5000 lumens . Hands are free, brightness is adjustable - friends will appreciate the person-lantern. By the way, the device is indispensable for participants in cycling trips that travel at night and night bike lovers around the city - it illuminates the road and the drivers noticeably.

But this flashlight is not so bright, but it does its job by five with a plus. Its advantage is in a tiny size and exceptional reliability, strength, resistance to mechanical stress and water. By the way, look at the video page of bullying the gadget - it’s impressive.

Another waterproof flashlight is the Skilhunt with a magnetic belt clip and a memory function for remembering the last setting. Illuminates 100-150 meters ahead, 860 lumens. Easy, convenient option, which at any time can be detached from the rim and turn into a flashlight. The maximum declared operating time is 120 hours.

Spring is the time of snowdrops. For some, this phrase sounds romantic, but for motorists it is a sheer problem. It is during the May holidays that sleepy cars and their owners who do not like winter driving (saving on tires?) Are selected from thawed garages. Risks are accumulating: drivers weaned out of the steering wheel during the winter, unchecked cars after hibernation, drunk and “heavy in the morning” car owners start to generate emergency situations. You need to be alert - so pre-equip your car with a DVR. For example, Xiaomi Yi 1080P 60 fps with a wide viewing angle of 165 degrees and night mode. The recorder's menu only supports Chinese, but you can easily navigate through the icons.

Of course, this is not the only DVR to be sold -on a special page for car enthusiasts, you can select the device you need. And this is not only a DVR, but also navigators, accessories for a car and even a motorcycle.

Where, if not out of town and when, if not in spring, until there is dense foliage and grass, to experience a radio-controlled helicopter ? Nothing special, a typical "beginner level" helicopter for pampering: 360 degrees pivot, light weight, simple controls. If you have not had this before or have children - be sure to try, pleasure is guaranteed. By the way, thanks to its compact size, it can fly in a relatively spacious room.

More toys, quadrocopters, radio-controlled cars and hobbies on the page .
