BTS-06 Bluetooth Shower Speaker / Handsfree USD $9.99 Delivered @ Gearbest

2305
GB5602

Following the success of my recent Gearbest posts, I've kindly been asked by Gearbest if I could continue to post on their behalf. I TWAM'd the moderators to make sure it was all above board, and they agreed it was fine as long as I ticked the little rep box. Let me say from the outset that I'm not affiliated with them, I'm not related to them, I'm not friends with them, and I'm certainly not in business with them. However, I'm happy to say I'll be posting more deals for Gearbest as a 'rep', and hopefully at fantastic prices.

I don't get (or expect to get) anything to do this. I just love posting great deals that save people money! The fantastic thing here is I get to choose what may make a good deal, and if Gearbest agrees, they'll provide me a coupon code for as big a discount as they can justify. So I guess the Ozbargain community is the real winner here.

EDIT 20th April: Will no longer 'rep' gearbest. See here

And now, for tonight's deal.

But first, you must watch the video to see just how versatile this little baby is!

  8. Select PLACE YOUR ORDER

    Real pity about the negativity.

    He has managed to spend all money for me….

    Is there nowhere to escape a ringing phone anymore?

    If it's really waterproof then drop one down the dunny too I spose. Who needs private moments?

    • This is a speaker, not a speakerphone. It's for listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts in the shower or while soaking in a bath tub. You can't make or receive calls with it.

      • Actually eug, It says in the description— Function 2: Mini size, buttons designed and built-in microphone, it is very convenient for you to use in your car, you can enjoy hands-free phone calls and music in the car, making your driving or trip more elegant and safer.

          Looks like you're right! That's definitely not the main purpose of this device though. It's advertised as a shower speaker.

  • +5

    Nothing against you TA, but why couldn't GearBest post the deal themselves?

  • well that backfired (or did it?)

  • I was about to report TA's Gearbest deals to the moderation team for what appears to be a specific violation of the deal posting guidelines, which I haven't seen mentioned in the comments.

    Regarding the possible use of referral/affiliate links in the URLs, I see from three recent deals:

    /speakers/pp_2569.html#.U1JEy43dfS9
    /led-flashlights/pp_5496.html?5456465#.U0-
    /cables-adapter/pp_954.html#.U0uqV6JiGFj

    Sometimes additional HTML code in the URL serves a useful purpose, but in this case, the bit after .html appears to be entirely unnecessary.

    Thoughts?

      Why ask us? I imagine from your post that you're an educated and literate person, and capable of making your own decisions?

      Ps. You're a little late to the party. 90% of this thread surrounded this topic and had TA listed as a rep!

    • Those are usually just document section identifiers, not affiliate/referral ids.

  • Can anyone please tell me what the sound quality is like?? Thank you

    • You can find links to Youtube videos by Gearbest and Geek Redneck (both posted in this topic). From what I can tell, the quality more than adequate for the purpose it serves, regardless of the price.

    I have experienced the negativity of OzB posters too. I was raving about a product that I used and loved and wanted to share this with fellow ozbargainers. I was instantly accused of being a secret rep, that I was posting for profit, that I had an ulterior motive for the positive review. So I have not posted a positive comment since. I wish the trolls would stop and everyone would give the benefit of the doubt. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" Thumper.

  • +5

    Two things come to mind w/ all the ranting:
    -"Do unto others…"
    -"What goes around, comes around"

    Trolls/Haters you have been warned! It will come back & hit you in the face.

    On a diff. note: Tightarse, you've done an excellent job to bring us great deals in your own time. Hope you continue to do so (take criticism online with a grain of salt & ignore it).

    Some ppl just don't know how to appreciate anothers' generosity (maybe because they've been subjected to a life of neglect & have never been cared about)…
    It's what we experience in life that shapes the person we become. In short: Be SELFLESS.

  • +2

    Broden is that you?

  • I like how on their website, the person in the shower is able to levitate.

  • great!

  • Anyone had theirs posted yet?

    • Nope. Still "Pending".

      • I am not usually too fussed with these things but would have thought it would have been sent by now!

        • If its anything like DealExtreme it can take a month to receive your order

        • I expect to wait a month but hopefully not a month plus another month for postage.

        • +1

          Oh, hopefully wont be that long, but I guess its best to expect the worst so then u can be pleasantly surprised

    • +1

      My order also still says pending since I placed the order (19/4/2014) and according to the status bar, it also said that I haven't paid for my item, contradictory to an email from them saying that they have received the payment.

      I've just sent them a message asking for an explanation and will share it once received as I think there's a few people in the same boat.

      • FYI guys, below is the reply that I got from GearBest:

        Thank you so much for your recent order. We feel extremely sorry not notifying you timely.

        Regarding item(s): BTS-06 Bluetooth Waterproof Shower Speaker

        For this item,blue color is back ordered,would you mind to change with color red?

        • I just checked my order & it's also stuck on processing. My order time was: '19/04/2014 20:01:08 PM' (unsure of timezone).

          Did they say when the blue will be back in stock ready to be shipped?

        • I lodged a thingo and took the red option. Let's see how long that one takes to mail off.

        • I ordered the blue one on 24/04/2014 and it was shipped out on 28/04/2014.

        • I asked them the same question. 3-5 days until more stock arrives apparently from yesterday

        • Dear customer,

          Could you tell me your order number or any other information? we can check your order and give you reply in 24 hours.
          And you can contact us by [email protected] at any time, we will fix problem for you.

  • Ok just bought one hope its going to be ok. They had them at Dick Smith for $50, I assume the quality is the same. http://www.dicksmith.com.au/speakers/airbeatz-bluetooth-show…

  • Neg from me.
    it has been 2 weeks they still had not shipped out!!!!

    • I don't see the neg.

    • Mine was listed as shipped today.

      They pre-planned this sale, roped in tightarse and couldn't even manage to fill the orders until 3 weeks after the sale. I imagine shipping will take 2-4 more weeks.

      I will not be ordering anything from Gearbest again.

      • Yeah I know what you mean. But still want the product so happy to wait.

    • Mine still stuck on processing! Unbelievable!

      • same here :(

        • Just got this from GB:

        Could you please follow up on this. Not happy!

  • -1

    Still waiting. Not acceptable.

    • +3

      its less than a month - you chose to use China post - deal with it.
      if it hasn't arrived by day 45 lodge a paypal dispute just in case (as its the last day), but dont be surprised if it takes up to 8 weeks, China post is unbelievably unreliable. If you want fast, choose another postage method.
      At least it isnt DX.com who can take a month just to post stuff.
      don't be that guy

    • Dear customer,

      Could you tell me your order number or any other information? we can check your order and give you reply in 24 hours.

  • Code still working as of 18/5/2014
    Was able to order one using code to discount down to US$9.99.
    Though maybe I should have read comments first with long delivery times. I do like to shower at least once per month.
    tightarse - chin up old son. The internet is full of insert expletive here, don't take them to heart. Thanks for this (and other) deals.

  • I am also still waiting for mine.

  • Hey Guys, has anyone received the package yet? It almost has been 30 Days!!

    • Still haven't, I contacted them a few days ago and received this response…

      "…as you selected Flat Rate Shipping which is unregistered mail(you didn't pay for the tracking NO.price when you checkout), no tracking number is available with this order therefore the shipping progress cannot be traced online.The shipping time is 15-45business days if no uncertain factors affect the shipping. Thanks for your kind understanding and continued patience."

      Guess I'll just keep waiting and lodge a Paypal claim in a couple weeks if it's not here.

      • +1

        If it's not still there on the last day that you can lodge a claim with Paypal, I'd be submitting one just in case.
        Pretty piss poor effort by them, I can have a whole container shipped in less time!

        • I can have a whole container shipped in less time!

          For free?

        • +1

          Like this product, technically yes! It's included FOB in the product pricing!

        • Can you ship that container-load straight to your house for free? :)

          They sure took their time to mail it out. Mine was only mailed out on the 8th. Now comes the China Post wait. It has only been 11 days though, so it should be here soon.

      • Website says 5 – 11 business days so that's a complete lie then.

        • It does look a little ambitious for China Post. That's the shipping time though, not the total time from order. When was yours shipped?

        • 28th April

      • You can open an issue with Paypal now and close it when the item arrives (or escalate it if the item doesn't arrive) …

        I've just re-read the original listing and it said, "ships within 3 days". However, it took them 2 weeks from the time they accepted my money, to ship the unit.

  • +1

    Mine has just been delivered.

    Ordered April 20th
    Sent April 29th
    Delivered today May 22nd by Singapore Post

    • Lucky thing!

    • Just came to check on fellow OzB results. Mine was shipped on the 6th, according to the last email I received. All signs are positive for a next week delivery, good stuff.

  • Heard the bargain in April, revisited this page last Friday, read how long the delivery takes

    Bought one from ebay(aus) at $13 including shipping last Sunday, received on Wednesday :)

    Received mine today, very happy with it!

    • Was yours one of they delayed blue ones?

      • Mine was green

  • ordered mine (blue) on 23rd Apr and shipped on 29th Apr.
    havn't received anything yet.

  • still waiting (order: apr19. shipped may6th), Opened the paypal dispute just in case.

    • me too, shipped may 4th

    • Ordered 20th, shipped 6th. Hasn't arrived. Still expecting it to arrive 'this week'!

    • Ordered 19th April too.

      Just opened a paypal dispute as well since it's 44 days today.

  • +1

    Shipping is way too slow.

  • Opened a dispute yesterday too just in case.

    Hope it comes in a week or 2.

    So far only one received right?

  • Ordered mine from this deal on 24 April, email to say it was shipped on 29 April and it turned up in letter box yesterday.

    I lodged a ticket with them and they replied saying up to 25 business days but could be delayed in customs.

  • Ordered 22nd April - shipped 4th May. Shall I open a dispute? Is there a number of days after/before which dispute can be opened?
    Also no sign of flashlight, dispatched 6th may.

    • +1

      You have 45 days to open a dispute through Paypal, then if it arrives you can close it, otherwise you can escalate it.

      • Thanks!

  • Purchased two as separate orders on 20th Apr (the second one without the voucher). Got one shipping notification on the 5th May and the other on the 7th. Haven't received either to date.

    The provided tracking numbers don't work.

    On the bright side, looks like the deal is back though if anyone's feeling lucky.

  • got an update from the dispute:


    As you known, you chose flat rate shipping which is not like standard shipping or expedited shipping which will provide you with detailed delivery information. And it is slower than other shipments.

    So please wait a few more days, thank you.

    Have a good day!

    Best Regards


    15 days to arrive otherwise I'll escalate.

    • Got the same one, will see what happens.

    • +2

      Got the same response too.

      Good thing Paypal will send an email before the final date to escalate it otherwise I might forget since I've aged so much since buying this.

  • Mine shipped on the 7th, still haven't received anything. I'm going to file a paypal dispute tonight.

    • stupid paypal won't let me because it has been too long. GG

      • Same here! Anyone knows if the credit card protection will cover this? I used AmEx.

  • ordered on 22/04/2014
    I've waited long enough
    So escalated my claim with paypal
    Don;t think I'll bother with this mob again :(

    • agreed - they even had the audacity to tell me "as you know, you chose flat rate shipping which is not like standard shipping or expedited shipping" - it's been 7 weeks.

      • +1

        Still waiting for mine (been 7.5wks)! Prolly never sent it at all! They expect you to forget about the PP claim & pocket the money. I'm escalating my dispute to a claim on the 14th.

        Worst than DX…

  • Still waiting after mine was "shipped" on Cinco de Mayo. So 28 business days so far. The site states 5-11 business days for delivery.

    I have my doubts it was shipped on the 5th.
