Hi Ajdronefpv,

Thank you for your review; we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We're so sorry to hear of the issues you had with your order; this does not reflect our usual great service and goods, nor is it acceptable.

We would like to investigate this further with the hope of resolving it for you, however, I have been unable to locate your Sales Order with the information you have provided.

Please can you provide us either with your Sales Order Number or your Postcode and we will certainly come back to you.

Kind Regards,
Dyann

Can't think of one

Initially there was an offer to also receive a micro SD card with the Combo but when I placed the order for nearly £700 it was gone. Also I've had no advice on how to register for my warranty. I've emailed drones direct but not had an answer yet

I've purchased the DJI M3T in great price as a open box deal. The drone was new, never used. Full manufacturer warranty, DJI Terra 3 months license and 1 year DJI Enterprise Care Plan included.
Speedy delivery. I've purchased my item late evening and received it next morning!
Great job!
