DJI Phantom 3 SE Wifi FPV RC Quadcopter EUR460 incl shipping @Tomtop

Suckit

Tomtop will pay VAT and Duty so there are no hidden charges when it arrives. I did try some of the codes available for Tomtop, but they did not seem to work. (Maybe somebody else will have more luck).
DJI Phantom 3 SE Wifi FPV RC Quadcopter €459.99 https://www.tomtop.com/rc-quadcopter-1192/p-rm7920us.html
What is the difference between this and the Phantom 3 Standard?
The main differences:

4K Camera
Improved 720p, 30 fps Wi-Fi live view
4000m (4km) (12000 ft) RC Range
Vision Positioning System
New name

Most other stores selling it online from China, are selling it for over €600 and it will also get hit for VAT.

*Edited*
DJI Global warranty will look after any issues also, so if there is any issues there is no need to send it back.

I also saw these

HXFMAVIC300 Gives $300 off the DJI Mavic Pro (down to $899)
and HXFMAVIC260 gives $260 off the DJI Mavic Pro Combo (down to $1139)
also duty paid.

There will be significant customs charges if caught(maybe 200e). Most of the guys have used tomtop on this thread and have been fine. Does the 601e include cash back?

No, the 601 is the EUR price on the Tomtop sie before case back and whatever USD exchange rate tricks you can pull.

So â‚¬514 on Banggood vs â‚¬601 on Tomtop. It all depends on whether it'll be caught by customs from banggood, my guess is it will be more often than not. Anyone know how much customs and charges will be added to the â‚¬514 cost?

Banggood are doing the Spark Flymore Combo for 514 Euros...

(€685.84 - 25%)

Definitely the full combo kit (Version: RTF). The coupon was in the "My Coupons" page.

There may however be customs payable on this.

I'm tempted by the XIAOMI 4K though, the price is fantastic. The size might be an issue for me though.

My drone will be coming today

Anywhere scenic close to Cork city to fly it? I was thinking of maybe taking it to Ballycotton and giving it a spin around the lighthouse/islands.

Nope. Tomtop do not cover customs, They will only pay the tariffs for the items that say so in the description, or if item is ordered from EU warehouse then there will be nothing extra to pay.

Tomtop do not cover customs, as per the above.

I'd avoid banggood completely, one order, 30e additional charges on a 70e item.

Also - its 33% off the Mavic Pro drones there also..

Apparently we could get a glimpse of the northern lights this weekend if the clouds stay off - massive drone potential

Noticed loads of smoke billowing up nearby last night so threw up the drone and got ready to call 999...

Just a local farmer burning rubbish....

Parcel is at 'label created' stage since the 1st September. God dam Dutch people.

I ordered 2017-08-23 and got it today. So looks like 2 weeks in total from the order date.

I wish I had looked into this closer before buying because if I do have to pay customs and the related charges, it's going to end up more expensive than if I got the batteries from amazon. Also a hell of a lot more time and headaches. Ah well.

You can always check in with an Post and they can give you a ref number to check with customs, I had to do this as the letter out o=got lost in the post haha

I thought Tomtop covers customs???

What's your opinion on this 'Suckit'? Do Tomtop show evidence that they've paid the duty anywhere?

I had the same when ordering a battery from banggood. Its a really annoying slow process.

It arrives in Ireland, says sent to customs for 3 days. Then you'll get a letter in the post asking you for the PayPal receipt or invoice from the seller.
You then have to send an email to the customs officer with the reference and evidence. Three days later the postman will arrive, asking for money.

There's a 10 euro service charge, plus any VAT. There is also import duty once it goes over a certain value(150e, I think)

So on a 70euro battery, while trying to save, I had to fork out nearly 30 quid in charges.

Good luck..

Any reason not to buy the Mavic with US plug for $909 with so many 5% vouchers knocking around rather than the EU version for $899 per the OP?

Nope, no reason at all. It was probably not a better option when the OP was posted. If US or EU plug is cheaper go for it, the plug can easily be swapped for a UK/Irish one.

Nope. Tomtop do not cover customs, They will only pay the tariffs for the items that say so in the description, or if item is ordered from EU warehouse then there will be nothing extra to pay.

For example, if it does NOT say this directly under the product title, then expect to pay customs on items that are over roughly €28 delivered.

we will pay tariffs in advance when the [PRODUCT TITLE] ship to Europe. But Need 7-15 days delivery / we will dispatch the proper plug according to your address

Alternatively, if you have ordered from any of these, you will also not be expected to pay any extra fees.
https://www.tomtop.com/storage/uk/
https://www.tomtop.com/storage/de/
https://www.tomtop.com/storage/fr/
https://www.tomtop.com/storage/it/

It is the same on all International stores. Unless they specifically say that they will pay the fees on the item, or unless it is shipped from in the EU, you should calculate the fees + handling and expect to pay them when it arrives.

Anyone?

Its the same hardware the world over (the figure8 power lead just needs be swopped with an Irish one)

But at the very least you could easily run into the customs issues the poster just above has had with his batteries. You may also have warranty issues.

Could also be a scam - post these discount links you have found and we can have a look...

I also ordered 2 extra batteries separately from tomtop and see that after the initial carrier it has arrived with An Post, and the current status of the package is "ITEM SENT TO CUSTOMS". Looking at tomtop website it seems the pre-paid customs on the Mavic is the exception to the rule. If I do have to pay customs, i'm wondering how they'll contact me.

My Mavic went a bit mental yesterday.

First the dji app wouldn't let me take off until I linked a number to the drone which had to be a mainland China number, which would then be text to be provided with a code.

Seems this has happened others after entering the simulator in the app (which I did) got resolved by clearing data/wiping cache and logging in again.

Secondly the drone itself was giving me warnings that the forward and rear sensor visualising systems needed to be calibrated, hence me having to download dji assist to the laptop and then point the drone at the laptop screen for a few minutes, then point the drones belly (for the downward facing cameras) and rinse and repeat.

All in all it was straightforward enough, but still was a pretty random bug. I last had it up in the air on Saturday with no problems and a pretty simple insignificant flight, so unsure w hy things needed to be recalibrated.

But anyways. All's good again.
