Arrived in record time. Came with free battery hub, although fly more kit already had one? Maybe a ploy to sell more batteries ;)

BEWARE! FRAUDSTERS AND SCAMMERD

BEWARE! Fraudsters. Scammers. STAY AWAY from this company. They will steal and sell your details then earn interest on your money after intentionally mispricing items, then not refund you for several days.

Spent 2.5k on multiple orders for the Dji Avata combo. Took the money and got the order confirmation. Got an email the following day to say the order was cancelled because I cancelled it. Took me 3 more emails to get someone who somewhat resembled a human and not a robot to tell me the item was a misprice and I would be refunded. No apology. No compensation. They hold your money and earn interest on it through busy sales periods whilst you're out of pocket £2,500 and they won't honour it like a reputable retailer. Expect that they have sold your data to a 3rd party where you'll be privy to cold calls.

This company is under the same umbrella as Laptops Direct, AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Hi HUD HUD,

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

I'm 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.

I 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 me either with your Sales Order Number or your Postcode and I will certainly come back to you.

Kind Regards,
Dyann

all above the clouds

I spend a long time looking for the best prices, I found the best price with drones direct, I went for a drone quick to order and delivered next working day. I did have a problem with logging on but it was all sorted in the afternoon so that's good service all round I think.
Would I recommend them? O yes.
Will I buy from them again? O yes.
