Did you buy from Amazon??

[Starz]

I’m doing some snooping. Did you buy a DJI drone from Amazon? If you did, would you please check your serial number and see if it contains an “r” or an “s” somewhere in the serial number sequence. I ran across a local guy that was completely surprised to find out that what he purchased from Amazon was in fact a refurbished package that he claims he had no knowledge of and certainly did not intend to buy a refurbished product. He showed me a copy of the ad from Amazon ( from his phone) that has no mention at all of the package being a refurbished product. I’m wondering if he his the only one. If what transpired is correct information, there may be more in the same predicament.
Please look at your investment and respond.
Thanks in advance!

MPP from Amazon delivered October 6th. No “s” or “r” in the SN displayed in the battery compartment.

Bought MA2 from Amazon in September. No "r" or "s" here either.

if I have a R in the middle and end of my serial number, what does that mean? When I bought it, the description said "brand new".
I also bought my Mavic 2 pro from Amazon

No foul play. I have bought a platinum and spark from amazon. And will continue without hesitation. Amazon is to big to mess around with crap like that. To much to lose. That’s just common sense.

I believe a refurbished unit has a "-r" at the end of the serial number
If you suspect anything just get a DJI Forum moderator or DJI support to verify it for you.

Plug your serial number in here. Remember that DJI doesn’t use the letter
”o”. Those will be a zero.

And here is another method.

‎D-Serial

‎D-Serial is the app that lets you check the date of production of a DJI product. You can scan the qr code or manually enter the code to verify the factory date of the product. The system will return some information as factory date, model and other usefull information. D-Serial is based...

Somewhat surprising how many people don’t know what they may be flying, and the above methods are the answer.

No silly letters on my serial numbers. Called DJI to verify that they were never registered. Sealed box. Had all the stickers where they should be. What else can I say.

I bought my MA2 from Amazon and it has a build date of Aug 2020.

Sounds good to me. But what do I know. [emoji41]

Not sure I understand this. Do you have other methods besides the one other method that I didn’t mention which would be to check directly with a DJI source?

Your joking right ???? You obviously didn’t read my reply. [emoji15]POST # 10 [emoji849]

 

[Starz]

No, not joking. I’m referring to post number nine.

I give up. You refuse to give credit where credit is due. This thread is going no where. FAST

 

[Starz]

My gray matter stumbles more often than it should.
My goal was to better understand your post number nine.
If you don’t wish to expand on that particular post, that’s fine.

 

[zambusal]

Thanks for the info. I bought a pro 2 and am going to look. It was bought off Amazon

 

[DanMan32]

Be sure to distinguish buying from Amazon themselves, a retailer on Amazon with Amazon fulfillment, and a retailer using Amazon website for sales only. Amazon has much less control on third party resellers.

 

[Starz]

Agreed.
