          @helnandez: Someone seems to be so emotional here LOL. I just shared my experience and sure we see many others too. I may be Mr BadLuck but I just needed to prevent my fellow ozbargainers fall in to same bad luck (and pain) dealing with those guys. No need to go to Harvey, luckily there are decent sellers out there for better bargains, that is why I am here. Not like someone here to protect GearBest (something like that).

  • GrTea on 01/06/2015 - 14:15

    Code 'LK3NOTE' doesn't seem to be working now.

    • superforever on 01/06/2015 - 14:41

      Yes, lucky I have placed the order but hasn't paid.

    I ordered a k3-note from GearBest on the 15th of May and it's still not shipped yet. Gearbest CS tell me it could be 14 more days before it gets despatched. :(

  • bzha515 on 02/06/2015 - 14:38

    I don't think they have stock right now> have to wait phones deliver to US first then send to us.

    Gearbest stay away from them the reason being they are a very dodgy company they take forever to post item.if and when the phone plays up and most of these Chinese phones do some are better than others you don't get warranty and when it packs in they offer you a percentage off what u pay I was offered 35 dollars Australian for a Sj 4000 action cam we payed about 92 for it then they offered me 39 dollars told them no I am going through a shit fight with PayPal so if you want to go through a shit fight buy off Gearbest if not go through bang good and tiny deal they are very good to deal with only trying to help people from loosing there hard earned cash

    • altomic on 02/06/2015 - 18:17

        Because the Chinese aren't know for their business ethics. Promise something, take the money and then change the conditions. They work on the logic that people like superforever will let them get away with their shifty practices. Start a Paypal dispute.

          These type of sites don't actually stock anything most of the time. They just resell others who dropship. It's just luck of the draw which provider they designate your order to (and if they happen to have stock).

        • superforever on 03/06/2015 - 13:17

          @PainToad:

          I think may be just because of the deal is so popular over the world. Some do have good experience with them of course not so popular deal.

          Like Banggood so far I have not problem with them, most arrived within a month.

  • netRAT on 03/06/2015 - 15:26

    Guys I'm totally legit…
    Just very lucky in this particular case…
    The parcel originated in Singapore which could suggest a dropshipper in between.
    That source may well be dry by now…

    In the meantime customs status just updated in Melbourne :)
    If all goes to plan I'll have it by tomorrow.
    Will keep u posted…

  • ezza on 03/06/2015 - 20:56

    This phone seems promising and also backed by Lenovo, I'm an Apple fan but considering getting it as it seems good!
    I did find it from a HK seller on eBay for $199.99AU delivered http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lenovo-K3-K30-t-Phone-5-0-4G-LTE-…
    As least its backed by paypal if it doesn't turn up I suppose

  • COR80 on 04/06/2015 - 18:14

    Got my K3 from GearBest this arvo after ordering it Thurs, using the (from memory) $8-ish DHL express delivery (think they were advertising discounted or half-price DHL express delivery at the time) so, happy with delivery time then. The Lenovo seal on the box was not intact but I am presuming they preconfigured some settings. Did not come in any sort of protective packaging (padded bag etc) so that's not so good but I can't see any damage arising from this.

    • tds on 05/06/2015 - 23:47

      Any first impressions so far?

      • COR80 on 06/06/2015 - 00:59
        +2

        Minimal sorry. Can't get video streaming on some sites, and the handful I tried (that worked) on youtube were just horrible. It is stacked with bloatware that (after reading a bit on whirlpool) will not go away or stop running. Apparently some guy even disabled some by rooting, and it still came back. There is no cyanogen support for it, and I'm still too new at this to try anything else just yet.

        Photo's looked fine but I took them inside on nightshift, and image stabilisation seems to be an issue. Screen is nice and big, and haven't had any trouble with lagging aps or functions.

        So- lots of bloatware that may be difficult to remove, and the video player it came loaded with is no good. Also- and I'm assuming it is the going from 4.2.2 to Lollipop, I don't like how it renders web pages. There is still a fair bit of Chinese language with some functions.

        Am happy with it so far, and look forward to getting more out of it after a root and rom.

        • PainToad on 06/06/2015 - 07:09
          +1

          If you're rooted you can delete the apks. No way they can come back then (until next update).

        • COR80 on 06/06/2015 - 07:42

          @PainToad: Cheers, that's promising.

        • tds on 06/06/2015 - 10:10
          +2

          Very tempted to switch from Zenfone for app capability but all the mucking around you need to do to get this phone working well sounds like a pain. Hopefully someone is working on a cyanogen

  • netRAT on 04/06/2015 - 18:30

    Yep, mine has arrived today as well…

    • COR80 on 06/06/2015 - 01:03
      +1

      Are you having issues with video playback or streaming video? Mine is atrocious in regards to this atm. Youtube looked woeful and other streaming sites would not even load. Was the seal on yours open also?
      Interested to hear any thoughts/tips so far.

      • netRAT on 09/06/2015 - 17:35
        +1

        There seems to be an issue with YouTube in current firmware. It sort of freezes upon launch on my device. To get around that I installed Viral (pro):
        https://play.google.com/store/search?q=viral%20pro&c=apps&hl…

        Haven't fiddled too much with streaming services yet but the above does seem to work ok as an alternative, at least for now until better/tested ROMs become available.

        • COR80 on 09/06/2015 - 21:35

          Beauty- will give it a go. My youtube launches ok but it is literally unwatchable, it's this pixellated mess and that's on wifi. I avoided using any of the bloatware it wanted me to, could this be the reason? I also can't use mobile internet, again I presume it's because I cancel any of the bloatware apps it keeps trying to get me to accept/agree with the terms etc.

        • COR80 on 10/06/2015 - 19:28

          @COR80: nvm- tried firefox on it, and the streaming video was just fine. Must be just the hopeless browser and player it is pre-loaded with.

  • COR80 on 06/06/2015 - 02:26

    They are an awful company to deal with, order from gearbest and expect the below:

    25/05/2015 - Order placed (Expedited/DHL with shipping insurance). Original order showed 1-3 days dispatch time

    28/05/15 - Live chat: Told order will be dispatched same day

    29/05/15 - Live chat: Told order is delayed for 1-3 days

    01/06/15 - Ticket opened: Told again delayed for an additional 1-3 days

    05/06/15 - Part order shipped: No phone included

    05/06/15 - Ticket opened: Told phone further delayed by 3-5 days

    15/06/15 - Ticket opened: No reply.

    So I'm now at day 22 and still the phone hasn't been shipped.

    • BrutusB on 18/06/2015 - 20:20

      Update: I opened a paypal dispute, they are now claiming the phone was shipped to me. Luckily for me their shipper in Singapore completed a packing slip without the phone and their support agent on 05/06/15 confirmed to me that it didn't ship. They are extremely dodgy. Avoid at all costs.

      • superforever on 18/06/2015 - 20:30

  • superforever on 16/06/2015 - 10:48

    My dashcam even they posted the photo of the parcel, AusPost only said initiated. Seem like they still hasn't send it to post office.

    When tracking my item, what does 'initiated' mean?
    The tracking status 'initiated' means that the sender has entered shipping information into our online system, and either:

    a) the pickup has not yet been recorded in our tracking system, OR

    b) Australia Post has not yet received the item from the sender

    Pickup information is usually confirmed within 24 hours.

    • flagger on 16/06/2015 - 11:11

      If you picked Singpost/Auspost, don't expect any tracking details except for the initial entry into the system (information received). It will arrive in about 3-4 weeks in my experience…

          I ordered a few days later, hopefully should arrive soon.

          So your tracking status didn't change from initiated, right?

          Around 3 weeks to receive it I would say it is reasonable, around the same from Banggood.

          I think the big problem from them is their "in stock" status. They didn't ship directly from their China warehouse to customer that is why have to wait that long before status changed to "Shipped".

      Dose it have google play installed? I thought they had to open them to install it.

        Yes its installed.
        Pretty confident they didn't install it.

        When I first turned it on it had to go through all initializing and setting language etc
        Battery was seperate.. I dont think its ever been switched on.

          Would you please go to settings, about and see what ROM installed?
