Dear Saad,
Thank you for your review and feedback.
Let me explain you step by step the pricing so you better understand and to clarify your confusion.
1) Yes, there are differences in between the values to pay if you select different currency as not all currencies are the same. In your case 1AED is not equal to 1SAR. That is why the values change when you switch the currency.
2) There are no hidden fees and we charge you only for the price of the item (without VAT as we are not KSA based company and we can’t collect KSA VAT) and for shipping. The VAT is collected by courier on behalf of your government as well as the import fees (if any are imposed by customs in your country).
3) As you said, all customers can check the prices on our website in their preferred currencies and the “VAT inclusive” sign appears only for AED as we collect the VAT from UAE customers.
4) We are very open about our T&C’s and every customer can check them on our website or ask about them our customer service. We highly doubt that you paid “double” and if that is the true you should rise a complaint with KSA customs.
Please, feel free to reach us anytime at +971 4 223 1780 or +971 56 33 88 642 should you need any help or assistance with your future orders.
Have a great day, Gerald, Customer Service Supervisor at Gear-up.me

Everything you need to know about gear-up

Let me save you the time and effort of going through any other review. This is all you're gonna need to read to know what you're going to expect from this business.

I have a very serious issue with trusting online payment especially when it costs as much as monthly rent in some places, I read through pretty much every good and bad review gear-up had. Yes, some 5 star reviews looked "fabricated" or what not, but there were genuine ones. I also read the 1 star reviews thinking that the store had actual malpractices going on but I just found out that most, if not all, of those reviews were brats complaining about some issue they created and were playing their "privileged" card to make people fix it for them (trust me, I read pretty much all 1 star review and gear-up's responses to them).

So I decided to take a chance but before I did, I sent Lidel (the person I contacted about my rig) about 40+ emails just asking questions and changing parts and so on... At first I had a build in mind including a gpu which was about 4000 aed out of budget, I let Lidel know that I didn't have that kind of money and he got back to me within an hour with an updated list of parts which had 0 compromises on performance and dropped about 3500 aed from the original price. I managed to land a 3060 on a local store for as cheap as I've seen it since the shortage started, and I emailed him again for as long as 35 or so emails just asking questions and checking availability and discussing all these things and never has he been fed up or complained or told me I was wasting his time.

Once I got enough money to get the build, I emailed yet again this time emails spanning over 80 mails going back and forth. By the time Lidel got all the parts and the payment went through he explained that it might take time since there were many requests that had been placed before me, which I respect since he didn't prioritize anyone over anyone. After the build was finished we ran into several issues concerning the motherboard BIOS and he let me know instantly and gave me every option there is to rectify it by switching motherboards or wait for a new one, and took the time to advise me which was best with 0 compromise on aesthetics or performance.

The pc was expected to arrive within 9 days, it got to me in 7 days (not counting holidays and weekends) and if it wasn't for the mb issues it would've been 5 days. The pc exceeded all my expectations, but taking into consideration I'm upgrading from an intel pentium E5800 Radeon HD 6450 to a ryzen 5 5600x RTX 3060, I'm still overly satisfied with the service I got.

I should point out, after confirming the build, Lidel contacted me several times to keep updated and sent me a few pictures and a video to show me if it was up to standard, and even offered free cable mod sleeving as compensation (which made the build look 10x more beautiful than it already is)

If anyone is looking through the reviews trying to decide wether or not to go with gear-up for your first or 100th build, you won't find any better. To prove it I sent a few near by stores the same parts to see if anybody would match the price but every single one of them was over a 1000 aed more expensive than gear-up.

(I'll try to post pictures on google reviews)

I would like to thank everyone at gear-up, especially Lidel for putting up with me for so long. Much love to you guys <3

Zero customer service

******UPDATE :
Lie , lie , lie and believe your lies .
Keep Blaming your customers for your mess-ups like you do .

For Over 100 days you kept on lying but this has to stop here and everyone has to know your are full of lies .

You talking about Support !!!
-One of call center representative told me to deal with FedEx by my own Knowing FedEx issued return !!!
-Late and sometimes not replying to my mails .

I purchased the item from your website on 16th of July
and now we are on 4th of November and I didn't get my money
nearly 4 months of emails and calls and here you have the courtesy to brag about " your so-called support " !!!!!!

FedEx didn't try to reach me, I did reach them on 28th off July and I've sent you a screenshot of me calling them and they reassured me it will arrive the next day but it didn't .But You chose to close it and continue lying like you do .
On 24th of July FedEx located the item from Riyadh To Jeddah and it kept in transit there . this doesn't mean they tried to call me for over 4 days :/ , Bluffer

this is my shipment tracking number for every one to know about your lies .

Tracking Number : 774326642528

The Problem :

Seriously this is the worst vendor I've dealt with my entire life .
They stole my money .
I ordered an item from them , and the delivery toke forever and when I couldn't receive the item fedex issued a return request to them which they replied to after nearly 40 days and after they received the item they decided to charge me for the fees of leaving the item in fedex facility and refunded my only 37% of my payment " which I didn't receive till now btw"
And they banned my from their FB page so not to post any warning comments .

Dear Mahmoud,
Thank you for your feedback and review. We appreciate it as it gives us the opportunity to see where we can improve our service to customers.

I am familiar with your case as we were supporting from the beginning by sharing the tracking link for your order delivery to be able to contact Fedex and arrange smooth delivery as you were requesting it to be delivered before a certain day.

We are using premium shipping partners like DHL and FedEx (who was delivering your order) and they were trying to reach you for 4 consecutive days before your travel but unfortunately, you were not available to receive it. After that, they were trying to reach you for another 10 days to arrange alternative delivery but again without success. When they were not able to reach you they have returned the package to us.

We have offered you to resend your product again but you refused it. As per our T&C’s we have refunded it less the cost of the shipping charges.

We are always following up on the delivery of orders to our customers to make sure it is properly delivered. But it requires a little bit of cooperation from the side of receiving customer to ensure the last step of delivery is done without unnecessary delays.

Please, feel free to reach us anytime at +971 4 223 1780 or +971 56 33 88 642 should you need any help or assistance with your future orders.

Have a great day, Gerald, Customer Service Supervisor at Gear-up.me

Amazing build in few days

In only few days, Lidl has helped me to get a PC that not only matches my expectations but actually exceeds them. Furthermore, since it's my first PC, I needed lots of guidance in finding the exact components required for sim racing, in that sense Lidl also helped on every step.

Thank you so much!
