    Well done Pete.
    Annoyed that they told me only last Friday that mine would ship today too, yet this morning when I saw no update/progress I contacted them, and they told me t's pushed out yet another week....it's very annoying that they keep pushing dates out week on week.
    I was going to cancel the order this evening until I saw that your order is now making headway. Great to hear.

    Same happened to me. Which warehouse did you select. I cancelled my order from Spain warehouse and re ordered from China warehouse

    Ah, that'll be the difference. Let us know if you get stung for customs.

    Tick tariff insurance at the checkout.



    I would imagine I'm not the only one kicking themselves for not having done that to begin with now.

    Hindsight with pre-orders.
    Congrats Pete.. Sour Grapes here :D
    I am on chat, and...
    Do you think it will ship within 7 days?

    e749a6ead4e834c79ff7c436caa1b552.png

    Schrubble 23:59

    Yes, I am positive about the same







    So 22nd it is.. I have asked the on the chat to cancel the order if it is not shipped by then.

    I had asked if they could change the Warehouse, I got told that is not possible.

    Tracking from Ali Express is showing up under post Netherlands. Are they routing parcels through there?

    Yep, think that's the most common one to avoid customs.

    Ive been told that it may be 1-2 weeks more but they didnt have a date for the shipment to arrive in the warehouse... I'm waiting for 2 weeks, then i'm done, a drone is not for me.

    Same as yourself I'm going to hang on in there for the long haul. I have the mavic mini to play with in the meantime. All the problems will be ironed out on the Fimi by the time we get them.
    I paid with paypal and my receipt said the following
    Issues with this transaction?
    You have 180 days from the date of the transaction to open a dispute in the Resolution Center.
    That brings me up to early October if it goes on that long.

    I’ll be getting it for €284 if i remember correctly, after being refunded the prize amount in the raffle too.

    As I’ve said all along, I’ve no problem waiting for it at that price. If it ships at any stage this month I’ll be very happy.

    I went onto chat to ask about stock, they are hoping stock for Spain in 2 weeks but nothing definite and advised I cancel and order from China as they will have stock on the 22nd June.
    I said with my discount I am getting the drone for €300 and it is €416 in china , asked could they give me a code to cover the difference and they said no so I said I would wait.

    Spoke to them yesterday and got much the same reply. I was given the option of finding an equivalent drone of same value or my money back or wait. So I've decided to wait... Again... I'm happy enough if I get it by August.

    Spain. I also received an email from Banggood yesterday telling me it was out of stock along with a link offering refund or swap which is apparently valid for 15 days. Lots of mixed messages!

    I ordered 3 days before you. No sign of movement on the order, but I got the email this morning offering refund/change/swap.

    I think I might take them up on the refund option if there's no movement in the next day or two.

    I've ordered a lot of stuff from Banggood over the years. If this doesn't resolve over the next couple of days, I'll be deleting them from my list of suppliers in China.

    Agreed - if mine doesn't ship by Tuesday I am applying for the refund.


    This is incredibly poor service from Banggood. It's my first time using them - and will definitely be my last.

    Processing time on the item page link is now showing as 29th June, so don't be surprised if your told on the 22 its the 29th now, shambles of a pre order considering they have been shipping out of China, what would have made more sense was if they offered a China shipment as an alternative rather than an eu shipment some weeks back, but it might be worthwhile looking elsewhere for it at this stage

    Hi Pete

    Did yours arrive into DHL or another depot here in Dublin when it arrived from the Chinese warehouse?
    What exactly was the value declared by Banggood on the shopping label, just wondering exactly what amount you got stung for duties/tax via the Chinese warehouse?

    Next Monday, if they say its delayed again, I'll go via the CN warehouse instead.

    Thanks in advance

    Was told July 7th just now so I've cancelled. Really wanted to hang in there but to frustrating getting different dates from different agents. They clearly haven't a clue when it'll be in.

    Has anyone successfully received from Ali Express through China without custom charges? It's $399 currently but no option to avoid customs via Tariff Insurance etc.

    $490 on Banggood via China with Insurance and Tariff Insurance selected so big difference.

    Not going to worry about it, if I get stung then it costs more but I have the cash back to offset it. Fingers crossed though. It's still cheaper than a mavic air 2 or a mavic mini
