Everything points to the closure of the famous Chinese en línea store, especially after it was revealed that its parent company, Global Top Y también-Commerce Co., Ltd, filed for bankruptcy last June.
When we think of Chinese en línea shops, two names undoubtedly come to mind: AliExpress and GearBestbecause they are best known to all of us and the more in terms of infrastructure and product catalogue.
But Gearbest seems to have been doing something in the last few weeks because we haven’t heard from her: The website is down, customers are in limbo and bankruptcy rumors keep circulating.
Are we watching Gearbest’s closure?
All indications are that the Chinese en línea mobile and dispositivo store is closing its doors without notifying its customers or partners, because above all The y también-commerce site has been down for 10 days and if we access it we perro read the following message: Invalid dirección de Internet Requested dirección de Internet “[no URL]”, invalid.
This is the fallo message that appears when trying to access the GearBest website
Secondly, since then the well-known en línea shop has not shown any sign of life in its popular networks either his last articulo on Fb is July 7thon Twitter that nothing is shared from April 2020 and last on August 18 He stopped responding to reviews of his mobile application in the Google plus Play Store.
Regarding its mobile application, it should be noted that it works, at least in part, because We were also able to access our profile, order history and product cataloguebut if you try to include sections like contact methods or general questions, The aplicación returns the same fallo message seen on the web.
Since Gearbest website is down for so many days, its customers are helpless because of that All support tiques are opened through their website. This means that customers who have not received an order they have requested and those who wish to return or cancel an order perro submit a request they have no place to claim.
Finally, another detail not looking for hope is this Gearbest’s parent company, Global Top Y también-Commerce Co., Ltd, filed for bankruptcy last June and he stopped paying the salaries of all his employees, whose numbers had dwindled from 3,000 to just 500 earlier this year.
In the event that GearBest’s closing is confirmed, the beneficiary will no doubt be great AliExpress, the en línea store of giant Alibabawhich, despite the new European VAT law, continues to receive many orders from Spain.
