That's exactly what I was thinking. Looks like a rough drop, but probably not as bad as what most packages already go through.

Not at all. My documented purchase of a drone on eBay has infinitely more relevance to someone wanting to buy a drone on eBay than some random story with no documentation about someone who allegedly bought a coat online. Any third grader could see that.

Yes some would say that the small percentage of pilots who are idiots flaunting the rules and posting it online when they hit 4000 feet or whatever are the reason we have all these rules and all this unwanted attention in the first place. I'm sure it's not the only reason, but it has been a...

Or at minimum a YouTuber like 51 drones would have covered it. Maybe too soon, maybe they will if it actually happened. But you're right, he may have actually took the advise given. Always a bit of a shock when someone actually does that. He may not be a crackpot after all. If that's the case, I...

I always use the YMMV disclaimer to warn users that Your Milage May Vary. So I'm actually doing just the opposite. I'm simply providing an accurate accounting of what happened to me when I took a shot at it. As others have said it's a constantly changing situation, and is always going to be a...

This is a great thread, I enjoyed the video, and all the comments. I've made my living in the medical imaging field for the past 45 years. We no longer use LUTs, but that's because the technology has taken us out of the loop where that's concerned. When a doctor exposes us to radiation to get...

Yes unfortunately it looks like a crackpot with too much spare time on his hands. I am struck by the amount of excellent advise and accurate information that was supplied by knowledgeable members just in the event that this was true. That's what this is all about. Well done gang.

Getting pretty far off in the weeds here. Your headline: “Tariff charging is getting worse” Chicken Little: “The sky is falling” Neither of you have any proof That piece you posted says some lady had to pay fees that were much higher than I paid relative to the purchase price before her...

Yes I’m in the US, and that is the seller I used.

The truth is easy. A bucket of BS not so much.

Let me try posting a screen shot.

It was from FedEx, it was an authentic email from FedEx because I called them to verify. It was for "taxes, duties and fees". The M4Pro is great. Battery life is unreal.

I purchased this Mavic 4 Pro from this Korean seller on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/ipp/177364694900?transactionId=10080561110907&_trksid=p4429486.m149906.l48352 I received it as advertised in 2 days. About 2 weeks later I received a bill from FedEx for $82 for taxes, duties and fees. As...

I certainly would never trust any publication that has endorsed one party's candidate for the past 16 Presidential elections, be it Democrat, Republican or Independent. I look at facts, and think for myself. This piece was obviously written by someone out to stir the hysteria over tariffs. The...

It was a regular kit, drone, RC2 controller, one battery, etc.
