This Link has the links to the sales (I think it's an affiliate link. It's not mine and I'm not making money off this just sharing.) :

I checked and it's obviously not actually Walmart or Amazon selling it, it's resellers. the Walmart reseller is"Sixvery Limited" and the Amazon seller is "USAFAST". both resellers have mixed to terrible reviews. I'm tempted but not sure if I want to risk that much money. Anyone have specific feedback on these 2 sellers? $2600 from Walmart with the RC2 and 1 battery seems pretty tempting, I have to admit.
 
I just find it incredibly dishonest when these sales are referred to as Amazon or Walmart selling the product. Just because they are listed at the website doesn't mean they are the one's selling it. We know Amazon didn't take on any more DJI inventory so Amazon is definitely not selling the M4P. Amazon/Walmart are hardly the first ones to sell the M4P into America (Adorama) and eBay merchants are currently doing it and apparently they won't be the diverse pricing and margins start to drive "individuals" to resell for profits and do so easily thanks to the eBay merchants.

You would think by now customers would figure out the Amazon/Walmart marketplaces are like eBay where there are 3rd party merchants you have to deal with. Which is fine except you often cannot find out who they are or where they are located; often times their details are "fake" and they have strange policies. Usually they are from China and that's where you'll get your merchandise from....if you ever get it. Oh and don't forget duties and tariffs; those are still unknown. At least on eBay, this is pretty clear and upfront....and tested.

What bugs me the most is the link to "Visit the DJI store" which fools many many people into believing this has something to do with official DJI company.....it does not. It's just virtual link to organize the listing; there is no "store." DJI has no presence at Walmart or Amazon and DJI hasn't changed their mind and decided to sell drone to Walmart and Amazon....at least, not yet.

If you ever get the drone, I guess there are some benefits. You can easily buy the insurance (since Care Refresh is n/a), Walmart and Amazon have some limited guarantees (taking some responsibility for their merchants), and if you have Amazon or Walmart credits and discounts, I guess you can use those, too. I've met many people who have never used eBay so seeing M4P on Amazon.com or Walmart.com is going to be a blessing for them; I hope this works out and the risks are worth it. Unfortunately the climate for first half of 2025 has set this ugly tone for second half of 2025 where drone scams are rampant, prices are unusually high, and there is uncertainty about where this is going but there's hope still that this will one day clear up and go back to normal.
