    That should be fairly easy to repair, and not too expensive either.

    My Fimi X8 has finally moved from 'refunded' to 'processing' after being refunded the prize money difference 2 months ago.

    Just an update on my refund from banggood, I had to escalate to a claim with PayPal after I cancelled the order and they hadn't returned the money, but I'd also bought a case and second battery too, all as part of the same order. I was happy to keep the accessories and just get the money back on the drone, as I purchased from the fimi store on ali.

    Explained the above in PayPal messages ect but some t!t in banggood rejected the resolution and has requested I return the lot to get a full refund.

    Whatever about it I'll return it and claim the postage costs back, but they are totally useless to deal so be prepared for them making it awkward to get your money back

    Return using paypal, or you will have a pissfest trying to get refunded for postage.

    I wouldn't bother to be honest.

    I've had a few midrones. Compatibility between them isn't great. I had two at the same time and the camera wouldn't work if it wasnt on the drone body that it was packaged with.

    (Even though you can legitimately buy the camera separately). Put me off trying to DIY them. Once they're damaged beyond usable flying condition I just bin them.

    I've arranged to get a 4k off a boardsie. But If anyone else is selling one in good nick for a decent price dont he afraid to say it.

    I could do with a back up drone.

    I also got July 21st. I was on to them on chat yesterday and they said 1-3 weeks.
    They are also giving me 500 point on my account AND, wait for it, a 1USD coupon after my order ships!!!! Jackpot! :P

    I also got the email and an expected shipping date of ‘within July 21st’. Do we have to confirm we still want the drone? The heading at the top of the email indicates that we do but then at the bottom it says they will keep our order automatically if they get no reply.

    I was thinking the same thing after re reading it this evening? Anyone any ideas.

    Mine says August 15th. :mad:
    I got a 2nd email that says I got a 1 USD coupon and that they made a mistake not explaining the IUSD coupon properly and I can use it to purchase fold out propellers.

    Got the same email. Once I get the drone (ya, I'm still hoping 😂), I'll be ordering those props for a dollar.. Was gonna pick up spares anyway, shame you can't buy the spare battery for the 1USD.. I'm sure I'll still be waiting after your date for info on my delivery though..

    Mine has finally been shipped as well. Ordered on 25th April so looks like it’ll be less than 3 months of a wait. I’m sure it’ll be worth it!

    My poor drone went for a swim in the sea this morning due to a battery failure mid-flight. :mad: As I love this drone and have loads of accessories for it I am looking to see if anyone has another one that they were contemplating selling?


    Thanks,
    Keith
