From TomsHardware.com: Mavic 4 Pro selling at Walmart and Amazon

[rawman001]

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.) :

The 5-star DJI Mavic 4 Pro is finally available to buy in the U.S. — but not through DJI

Grab it while stocks last

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.

All about risk and reward.

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.

Worst of all, DroneDJ is now promoting these 3rd party Amazon Scam Sellers on a nearly daily basis in their daily blog emails as "deals of the day" that won't last!

Amazon is covering up all the Critical Reviews of these scam sellers with strikeout over the text, falsely claiming that Amazon is responsible for the sellers' lies in pretending to ship and their malfeasance in denying refunds under A to Z!

Do not be lured into thinking these are anything but SCAM SELLERS! Unless it is being shipped and SOLD BY Amazon LLC, it's a ripoff 3rd party scammer pretending to sell DJI drones as DJI Store, because of Amazon's blatant enabling of these scamsters!

Amazon will always give the A to Z seller the benefit of the doubt, and give them forever to deliver, or replace, while keeping your money tied up! Expect to spend hours on the phone daily over months trying to get your money back! Amazon makes money off these scam sellers by preventing you from getting your refund!

Well I took a chance and ordered a Mavic 4 Pro Fly More Combo from Amazon yesterday and received it today! Haven’t tested it yet but it looks brand new and came in its sealed box. I have to admit I was nervous with all the paranoia here. It was from GD Sales. Not happy I paid a premium but I need it for my work, so I’ll get it back fairly soon.

Do you have a link to the listing from which you purchased it?

GD Sales is undoubtedly an Amazon Marketplace seller where you have to pay for returns directly to them, where they claim they never received it, and your only recourse is the flimsy A to Z Guarantee, where Amazon always takes their side, and gives them plenty of extra time to respond, and will fight you over your refund, when things inevitably go south.

The fact that you already have received it, looking brand new, in a sealed box is 90% of the battle. Hopefully, what's inside matches the box, and everything works to your satisfaction. You got luckier than most!

So far so good. Everything was factory sealed. All unpacked and batteries charged. It came with a European power cable in the DJI box, so it was obviously meant for the EU. They included a US cable in the UPS box, so they were quite thorough. I’ll try and do a test flight later. They are probably making a nice profit on these so why scam anyone. GD Sales listings on Amazon do look the most legitimate compared with others who listings and photos are very sketchy. Glad it went well.

I can't get a link that doesn't have my personal info on it, which I would rather not post in here. Interesting that when I click on my order it goes to a link from a vendor called FSFAST instead of GD Sales. Maybe the same people? I'll attach a screenshot of my order.

Found the link for you, using the screenshot.
Unfortunately, Amazon swaps out these third party sellers at will under the original link.

You that can see that USAFast is even worse than your seller. Two star seller from only two reviews. One says scam. Other apparently received it, but didn’t like it. Only protection is the A to Z Guarantee, as this is a third party Amazon Marketplace seller, and not Amazon LLC itself. Look for "Ships and Sold by Amazon LLC" for the most reliable purchase experience.

Mom is apparently letting her kids run the USAFAST business, while they learn how to scam on Amazon, selling used goods as new, and ripping people off! LOL!

I always look to make sure when I order that it clearly states, “ships and sold by Amazon’. But in this case there was no other option, so I took a chance and got lucky. It was certainly brand new factory sealed and flys perfectly. There are many other listings that look very suspicious so you certainly need to be careful.

Excellent. As stated before, receiving exactly what you ordered is 90% of the battle. Once that's been accomplished, the rest is just customer service and problems with the seller, if you try to return it for whatever reason. They will make it very difficult and pretend they never received it back. As long as you have no intention of returning it, your problems are over, and you have effectively won the lottery!
