Had a few folks with issues from them in the past, not a vendor I'll ever use that's for sure.
Cigabuy I believe has the subox for a decent price. 3fvape, 3avape, there's some good alternative places to shop that seem to have similar prices. I can't speak for those vendors as I've yet to use them, but I've seen far too many complaints on the forum about gearbest to trust them.

be careful with 3fvape I had a bad purchase from them took nearly two months for a box to get here i got the package a week after i cancelled it. then got a threat from them to pay for the mod or they would have an associate deal with me. so buyer beware with 3fvape as well.

Honestly I don't know why they even post the sales that gearbest has. I've tried twice to order from them (first time was a $45 mod awhile ago then the invisible $11 ni200 coils) and received neither. I suppose the coils were only ordered like 6 weeks ago so they may still be comin. DO NOT ORDER FROM GEARBEST!!!!
WTF? Like they were going to send Guido to your house to break your legs?

Ive resigned to ordering from only US suppliers it may cost more but at least I'll get it and it won't be out dated when/if it shows up.
I know this is an old post but MVS has them for $65 shipped.
Gearbest contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing some of their vape products. The initial contact was on August 31.
I chose a popular box mod + RDA combo, but the reply I got was that those were both out of stock, so I chose another pair. Several days go by before I get a reply, and guess what? That box mod was out of stock also, but they would be happy to send me the new/upgraded version instead, along with my 2nd choice RDA. Great! About a week goes by, then I'm informed that it turns out that RDA is actually out of stock also.
At that point, I said fuck it. I told them that I would never be able give them a positive review after all this back and forth, so thanks but no thanks. I pointed out that other vendors who contact me for reviews ship out items the same day or next day, and here we are almost 2 weeks later still trying to pick out something that they actually have in their warehouse.
A few more days tick by, then another email. The items I asked for are back in stock now, and are being shipped. Yeah, whatever. I didn't reply. Just today (another several days later), I received an email with a tracking number. It's some 3rd party service I've never heard of, and there's no estimated arrival date or any kind of useful information.
0/10 would not recommend GearBest.
At this point, if my IPV4s and Royal Hunter RDA make it here by Christmas, I'll be shocked.

that is kind of how I took it . I told her to send her associate and i would deal with his ass too.
awful customer service all they do IS COPY/PASTE the return page in every email never helping out the 3,5,10$ you save on ordering from them will be wasted in waiting and headache medicine.
and your totally screwed when something breaks you have to send about a dozen emails back and forth with them asking the same question every time only for them to say well just send it back and we will fix it. this process can take several months.
on top of it the URL they host from is expiring at the end of 2016. im guessing going into this year they will not be a company in 2017 and not service any of the stuff they have sold. the song "take the money and run" comes to mind.
be proactive take your money and run to another vendor or your local B&M. you might pay more but you will be happy did.
